Important Safety Instructions - Save This Information
NOTICE
Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for possible damages or conse-
quences.
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing cleaning products can damage your dishwasher
and may present health hazards!
It is highly recommended for the end use consumer to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply
and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or speak with your installer for more
information.
WARN I NG
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or
for any purpose other than those explalned on the following pages.
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technlcians or non-original replacement parts.
Aft repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.
Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this man ual is incorrectly installed or if the
dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual if you are not certain the electrical
supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe
the following:
This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiF
ing system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equip-
ment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. See the
Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for
more information on electrical requirements.
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
the manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels
are in place.
Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the
dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in
or on the dishwasher.
When children become old enough to operate the appliance,
it isthe legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified
persons.
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. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when remov-
ing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow
wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against
freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill vane. Damage
caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.
When you dispose your old appliance make sure you remove
the door or disable the latch.

Dishware Materials
NOTE: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in this section.
Some items are not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed; others require special loading.
Contact the item's manufacturer if you are unsure about the item's dishwasher suitability.
Recommended

cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This ca n usually be removed by using a soap-filled steel
wool pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted pieces may discolor, fade, or spot. Hand-
wash these pieces, Position fragile glassware so that it will not topple over or contact other
pieces during the wash cycle.

Non-Stlck Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non stick surfaces after
drying.
Plastics: Make sure the piece is dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, and Silver Plate: Place these pieces so that they do not
contact dissimilar metals.
Not Recommended
Acrylic: Crazing (small cracks throughout the acrylic) may occur.
Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel
copper, tin, etc. may loosen.
Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.
Iron: Iron will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is intended for use in cleaning ONLY standard
household dishware and kitchenware.
Pewter, Brass, Bronze: Pewter will tarnish. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Tin: Tin will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.
Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils, and wood-handled utensils can crack, warp, and
lose their finish.
Preparing and Loading the Dishware
Dishware Preparation
Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones,
seeds, toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils
may require pre-treatment.
Loading the Dishwasher
Check the Materials section of this manual if you are unsure about an item's dishwasher
suitability.
Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so
that the insides of bowls, pots, and pans are face downwards. Avoid nesting and contact points
between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.
Loading the Top Rack
Figures 1 and 2 show typical 10 and 12 place load patterns for the top rack.
NOTE: Make sure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray
arms.

release from notch, and fold the tines downward. When the top rack is loaded, push it into
the dishwasher.
NOTE: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back
of the tub so the top rack spray arm will connect to the water supply in the rear of the tub.
Do not push the top rack with the door.
Rack Height Adjustment (select models)
Remove the empty rack by pulling it out of the dishwasher to the point that it can be lifted
upward, as shown in Figure 5. Pull the rack outward and up until the rollers are completely
free of the roller guides. Re-insert the rack with the other set of rollers on the roller guides,
as shown in Figure 6.

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 Chart to determine the cycles available for your specific
model.
NOTE: On select modeJs, the Half Load feature wilJ reduce the water
consumption by approximately 30 percent in the Power Scrub Plus,
Regular, and Auto Wash cycles• The ECOoption 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 final rinse temperatures, but extends cycle length 5-I 0
minutes to maintain drying performance and the water usage will be
unmodified in comparison to the normal program cycles
THE NSFSYMBOL I__;"i_;ii
A dishwasher or adishwasher cyclethat hasthe NSFsymbol hasbeen
certified by the NSFInternational to meet very strict requirements
of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and
kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are explained in the
