mmpottant Safety

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 explained on the following pages.

Severe product damage and/or injury coumd

result from the use of unqualified service

technicians or non°original repmacement

parts. AH repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement

parts.

Never use steam cleaning product to cmean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not

be liable for possible damages or

consequences.

Never use harsh chemicals to cmean your

dishwasher and may present health hazards!

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 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.

Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing 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 valve. Damage caused by

freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household

dishware and kitchenware.

,, This dishwasher is provided with a manual set

which includes Installation mnstructions and Use and Cars l_anuaL Read and understand

all instructions before using the dishwasher. Use only detergents or wetting agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of childen. 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 utensils

with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut4ype 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.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent

Detergent

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your

dishwasher.

Use only detergent spedfically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh

powdered dishwasNng detergent. 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). 3.5 tablespoons (45ml) of

detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.

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.

Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems

that are unrelated to a malfunction of the dishwasher itself. The following information may

help you with a dishwasher problem without your having to call a repair person.

Dishes do not dry The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary.

Dishware drying can be accelerated and enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack.

Indicator light(s) do not come on A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or

reset the breaker if necessary.

Dishwasher does not start The dishwasher door may not be properly shut.

Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and

latched.

Dishwasher runs a long time

Jfthe dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water. Before starting the dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink

nearest the dishwasher. Run the water until it

runs hot, then turn off the water and start the dishwasher.

Water not pumped from dishwasher Make certain the drain hose isn't kinked, clogged, or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of

the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the

dishwasher's enclosure floor (see the Installation Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the

filter system isn't clogged (see the Care and

Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen sink drain may be clogged; you may need a plumber rather than a serviceman for the dishwasher, tf an air gap is installed at sink, it may be clogged.

THE NSF SYMBOL

A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified 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/ANSJ 184, Residential Dishwashers.

More information on NSF Certification is available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/ appliances.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: Jf 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.
