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.

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.

Glass: Milk glass may yellow.

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.

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.

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 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 document NSF]ANS1184,ResidentialDishwashers, More information

on NSF Certification is available at the NSFwebsite, http:llwww. nsfconsumer.orglhomela ppliances.asp.

Your dishwasher is NSF certified• The dishwasher cycles that are

NSF certified are shown in the chart above. 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•
