WARHING:Toreducethe riskoffire,electricalshock,orseriousinjury,observe the following:

This dishwasher is provided with Installation 6. Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read

and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher. 7.

This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment 8.

grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment 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.

Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep

them out of the reach of children.

When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the 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.

S. When loading items to be washed:

a. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

b. Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-

type injuries. c. 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.

Aq ing Detergent

an Rinse Agent

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dJshwashJng detergent.

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand

dishwashJng products in your dishwasher.

[] [o avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent

in soft water may cause etching in glassware.

The dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1tbsp. (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to:

• I 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 the

Rinse Agent Indicator Light. Add liquid rinse agent to the dispenser until the rinse

agent reservoir is full.Wipe up any excess rinse agent that puddles when the dispenser reservoir is full.

After filling the rinse agent dispenser, the indicator light will go out in a few minutes after the dishwasher door is

shut.

Refer to the following page for more information on adding detergent and rinse agent to the dishwasher.

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 theTables below.

Dishwasher Features & Options

Wash Cycles

*The cycles listed below vary by models. Power Scrub

Cleans items having baked-on or hard dried food soils. These items may require soaking or hand scouring.

Auto Wash Takes the guesswork out of cycle selection. For use with

a mixed load of dishware with varying amounts of food soil. The sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the soil load. This cycle contains additional sensor

decisions when compared to other cycles.

Regular Wash Thoroughly cleans normal loads having loosely attached normal soiling.

Delicate For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware or

other special items. Always make sure that the items are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section

of this manual for further information. Hand washing may be the best treatment for such items.

Quick Wash Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert dishes that may

need to be re-used at the same event.

Rinse & Hold Allows you to rinse the food soil o[3 of a partial load and

hold them in the dishwasher until there is a full load.

Eco Wash

Wash Cycle Options

*The options listed below vary by models. Extra Dry Heat

With this option you can raise the temperature of the rinse water and increase the drying time for improved drying.

Delay Start This option allows you to delay the start time of your

dishwasher.

Half Load In the Power Scrub / Power Scrub Plus, Regular, Delicate

and AutoWash cycles you can reduce the energy and water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads

that fill approximately half the dishwasher's capacity.

Top Rack Only This option allows you to save energy and water by

washing loads small enough to fill the top rack only. For more information on how to active these options, see

"Operating the Dishwasher" section.

Sanitized Indicator When the "Sanitized" light appears on the control panel,

it means that the dishware and kitchenware that were

just washed have been sanitized according to the

requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). For more information on NSF certification, go to

the Wash Cycle Information section of this manual. NOTE: If your household water supply is very hot, your

dishwasher's heating time may be reduced and the "Sanitized"light or symbol may not illuminate.

This cycle isoptimized to be even more energy e[_cient. Eg. On lightly soiled loads it uses much less water and energy than traditional cycles

Refill Rinse Agent Indicator An indicator light will illuminate to alert you when more rinse agent is required.

Wash Cycle inform

ation

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. 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 120F.

See the Cycles and Options Charts to determine the cycles available for your specific model.

NOTE: On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce the water consumption by approximately 30 percent in the

Power Scrub, Regular, Delicate and Auto Wash cycles.

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.nsfconsu mer.org/home/appliances.asp

Care

& Maintenance

Maintenance Tasks Certain areas of your dishwasher require occasional

maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and will ensure continued superior performance from your

dishwasher:

• Wiping up Spills and Splash-outs Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher,

especially if you interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher door during a cycle. To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or
