Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may
be produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas
is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is
connected to a hot water system that has been
unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes, open windows to ventilate the
house.This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.

Loading the Dishware
Do not pre-wash items that have loosely attached soiling.
(Pre-washing may cause the detergent to directly attack
dishware. This could lead to etching or damage, ex. Glass
cloudiness). Remove large food particles, bones, seeds,
toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items having burned-
on, baked-on or starchy soils may require pre-treatment.
Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more
information about dishware suitability.

utensils can cause serious injuries. Load knives and
other sharp utensils with edges down. Do not allow
children to handle or play near knives and sharp
utensils.

AI
ing Detergent & Rinse Agent
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.
For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing
detergent.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand
dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
[]
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much
detergent if your water is soft, it may cause etching in
glassware.
The dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less
detergent. With soft water, 1 tbsp. (15ml) of detergent will
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 fill the
detergent dispenser cup.
Rinse Agent
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent,
even if your detergent contains a rinse agent or drying
additive.
NOTE: The dishwasher indicates low rinse agent by
showing the 3_" symbol in the countdown display. Units
without a display have a Rinse Agent LEDthat illuminates
when the Rinse Agent islow ( see illustration below).
This is a portion of a dishwasher fascia panel.The position of Rinse
Agent LED and the cycle names will vary depending on your unit.

puddles when the dispenser reservoir isfull.
After filling the rinse agent dispenser, the indicator light
will go out in a few minutes after the dishwasher door is
shut (select models only).
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.

Wash Cycle information
NOTE:To save energy, this dishwasher has a "Smart Control"
called EcoSenseTM that automatically adjusts 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. If the smart
control adjusts to a stronger cycle that meets the NSF
requirements, the Sanitized light may come on. Make sure
that the incoming hot water supply line is connected to the
water inlet connection on the dishwasher and has a water
pressure of 15-145 PSI(1-10 bar). Wash program cycle times
are based on 120°F.
See the Wash Cycles and Wash Cycle Options to determine
the cycles available for your specific model.

A dishwasher or dishwasher cycle that is certified by
the NSF international meets 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 Certification is
available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.
