•Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.
•This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
•Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
•When loading items to be washed:
-locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
-load knives and other sharp utensilswiththeirHanDles
up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. for plastic items not so marked, check

are in place.
• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent
Detergent
Use only detergent speciically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
this dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (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 ill the detergent dispenser cup.
NOTICE
To avoid dishware damage, do not use too much detergent if your water supply is soft. Using too much detergent in soft water may cause etching in glassware.
NOTE: if you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent. increase the amount of detergent, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your dishware and kitchenware clean.
use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in table 1.

• Wiping up Spills and Splash-out
• Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
• Check/Clean the Spray Arm Nozzles
• Check/Clean the Filter System
• Clean the Exterior Door Panel

Winterizing Your Dishwasher
if your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a holiday home or through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by an authorized service center.
NOTICE
B

Wiping Up Spills and Splash-out
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.
Figure 18
Check/Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect there from normal loading.
if spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.

This dishwasher has a ilter system that consists of a Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly and a Fine Filter. Select models have an additional Micro Filter. The ilter system is located on the
inside of your dishwasher under the lower rack and is easily accessible.
During normal use, the ilter system is self-cleaning. You should occasionally inspect it for foreign objects and clean it when necessary.

Clean the Exterior Door Panel Colored Doors
use only a soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water.

Clean the Door Gasket and Door Seal
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.
Wash Cycle Information
NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” 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. 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 Chart 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. the eCo option may be selected for the power scrub plus, auto, regular and Delicate cycles on select models.
this reduces energy consumption approximately 10% due to lower main wash and inal rinse temperatures, but extends cycle length 5-10
minutes to maintain drying performance and the water usage will be unmodiied in comparison to the normal program cycles.
THE NSF SYMBOL
a dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the nsf symbol has been certiied 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 following chart. When these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control
panel will illuminate.
NOTE: if your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced and the “Sanitized” light or symbol may
not illuminate. Your Dishwasher installation Manual has information on the recommended temperature for your household hot water supply.
