To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft, it may cause etching in glassware.
clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to:
•1 tablespoon (15ml) AND
•1.75 tablespoons (25ml)
3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely ill the detergent dispenser cup.
NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent. Increase the amount, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in the Tables below.
Rinse Agent
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent, even if your detergent contains a rinse agent or drying additive.

Wash Cycle Information |
NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” that automatically adjust the cycle based on soil loads and incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. The cycle times listed in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.
See the Cycles and Options Charts to determine the cycles available for your speciic model.
NOTE: On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce the water consumption by approximately 30 percent in the Power Scrub Plus, Regular, and Auto Wash cycles.
A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certii ed by the NSF International to meet very strict requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certiication is available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.
Your dishwasher is NSF certiied. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certiied are shown in the chart above. When these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate. However, if your household water supply is to hot your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced, and the Sanitized message may not
show. |

Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher, especially if you interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher door during a cycle. To avoid loor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
•Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.

•Clean the Door Gasket
Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Also clean the door seal, located inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.
