been Histedwith Canadian Standards Association. Neverthdess, as with any other equipment using eHectficity

and moving parts, there is a potentiaHhazard.

1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before attempting to service.

4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back must be enclosed and the front panels must be attached before electrical power is applied to the

dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for proper grounding procedures.

5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or play in, with, or around this dishwasher.

Z Toreduce the risk of injury when loading items to be

washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not

likely to damage the door seal.

8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It will

be hot.

9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for a residential automatic dishwasher. Never use soap,

laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products out of reach of

children.

10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

11. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydregen gas is

expleM_,eoIf the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let

the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is

flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this process.

12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so

marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

13. Do not tamper with controls.

14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation risks, always remove the door to the

washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has

completed.

16. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

Save These instructions

for Future Reference

Before You Start

. Don't prerinse. Simply scrape off any bones or

large food particles.

. If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain

the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher.

. Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 10). . Remove certain foods such as mustard,

mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings from stainmess steem flatware as soon as possibme° These foods may cause rusting and pitting if allowed

to remain in contact with the surface for an extended

period of time.

To cancel a running cycle, press the

START/Cancel pad once. The dishwasher will

drain, then shut off. To turn the dishwasher off without draining, press the START/Cancel pad twice. To prevent unplanned cycle or option

changes, these selections are "locked in" after 1

minute.

. If a cycle pad is pressed after the controls have

been "locked in", the light above the current cycle

will flash three times.

Adding a Forgotten item

Operating the Dishwasher

1. After loading the dishwasher and adding detergent, select the desired cycle and options by pressing

the pads. The indicator lights for the selected cycle and options will illuminate. To cancel an option press the pad again.

2. To start a cycle, close the door until it latches then press the START!Cancem pad once. After a pause,

the fill will begin. The display countdown (select models} will flash until START!Cancem is pressed.

If START/Cancel is not pressed within 30 seconds of choosing your cycle, the dishwasher

will turn off.

The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you do not have to reset the cycle each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press the START!Cancel pad.

For best cleaning, the forgotten item should be added

early in the cycle.

1. Grasp door handle and unlatch door without opening completely. All lights will flash to indicate

that the cycle is suspended.

2. Wait for the water circulation to stop.

3. Open the door and add the item.

4. Close and latch the door. Lights will stop flashing when the door is properly shut. After a slight delay, the cycle resumes automatically at the point of

interruption.

. If the door is opened during a running cycle,

there may be up to a 30 second delay before the

dishwasher restarts after dosing the door.

. Extended interruption of the wash cycle is not

recommended.

Genera Recommendations

(Rack features vary by modem[}

, Items can be centered behind a single tine or loaded

at an angle to maximize space.

, Avoid blocking or preventing the spray arms from

spinning freely. Do not allow items to extend beyond the racks.

, Face soiled surfaces toward the center of the

[important

The dishwasher will not operate correctmy if the

wash arm is not amigned with one of the water intact

holes on back wail of the dishwasher.

Hot Water

For optiraal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoraing water temperature

shouM be 120 ° I: (49 ° C) to propermy activate the detergent and tacit greasy food soilso

To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the

hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and let it run into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in

the glass and check the temperature once it has

stopped rising.

Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Be sure it is fresh. Store

granular detergent in a cool, dry place (not under the sink}_

Recommended Amount

Add recommended amount of detergent to either side of the Main Wash compartment as shown and close

the detergent lid.

Do not use detergent with the Rinse Only cycle. Leave the detergent lid open when running Rinse Only_

Rinse Aid

Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water

filming/spotting and poor drying. Too much detergent can cause permanent etching/cloudiness.

The amount of detergent to use is determined by the

hardness of the water and soft level of the Ioad. Refer

to the following chart for detergent usage

recommendations.

Light Soil 5 teaspoons

Soft (0-4 gpg} Normal Soil 6 teaspoons

Heavy Soil 8 teaspoons

Light Soil 7 teaspoons

Mediura (5_9 gpg} Normal Soil 8 teaspoons

Heavy Soft 10 teaspoons

Light Soft 9 teaspoons

Nard (10-12 gpg) Normal Soil 10 teaspoons

Heavy Soft 12 teaspoons

Une×treraemy hard water conditions (13 grains per gallon or raorea), it is difficumt to achieve good results with any dishwasher, g raechanical water

softener raay be necessary to iraprove water quamity, detergent effectiveness, and protect the dishwasher parts frora the daraage that hard

water can cause°

Regular use of a rinse aid iraproves drying, reduces spotting and filraing, and reduces raoisture left on the dishwasher interior°

An automatic rinse aid dispenser is located next to the detergent cup.

The window next to the dispenser cap indicates when

the rinse aid reservoir needs to be refilled. When the

level of rinse aid is below the indicator marks and the

window is nearly clear, it is time to refill the dispenser.

Check the dispenser raonthmyo

To add rinse aid to the

dispenser, turn the cap counterclockwise to open.

Remove the cap and pour RnNSE liquid rinse aid into the AID

opening. The amount of rinse aid dispensed during

the cycle is adjustable by moving the lever inside the

reservoir area. For most water conditions use the manufacturer recommended setting of "2". Adjust it up to

the "MAX" setting for hard water. Set the lever anywhere

between these amounts as needed to get the best results. Replace the cap and turn it clockwise to close.

The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.

Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub

to see if any large particles remain. Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any

food soil splashes which occurred during loading. When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the

grain. Never use products containing chlorine bleach or citric acid.

The color from some tomato-based food soils may

occasionally adhere to various components of the dishwasher interior, causing temporary discoloration.

To minimize this:

Remove excess tomato-based food soils from

dishes, prior to loading.

Run the Heavy Wash cycle when washing loads

containing tomato-based food soils.

° Use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine

to better fight staining.
