	Please Read & Save this Information

WARNING

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 in the following pages.

■

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.

■

NOTICE

It is highly recommended for the end user 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 contact your installer for more information.

■

Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for the possible damages or consequences.

Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual if you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

■

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

1.This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before installing or using the dishwasher.

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

3.Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.

4.Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

5.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 cuttype 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.

d.Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.

e.Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks

Wash Cycle Information

9

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. * If the smart control adjusts to a stronger cycle that meets the NSF requirements, the NSF light may come on. 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 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 Plus, Regular, and Auto Wash cycles.

A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certifi ed 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 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 below. When

these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate. However, if your
			(SHE65P, SHE68P, SHX65P, SHV65P, SHV68P, SHX68P)
household water supply is too hot your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced, and the Sanitized message may not
show.

11 Care and 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 under the dishwasher.

•Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub

Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.

• Check and clean the Spray arm nozzles

Occasionally check the spray arms to ensure that the spray arm nozzles (holes) are unobstructed. You must remove the spray arms to check them for obstruction.

To remove the top spray arm:

1. Remove the empty top rack from the dishwasher.

2.Turn the rack upside down. The top spray arm is held in position by a locking nut as shown below. Turn the locking nut counter-clockwise and remove it as shown below to release the spray arm.

3. Remove the spray arm as shown below.

4.Look for obstruction in the spray nozzles.

5.If the spray nozzles need cleaning, flush them under running water.

To reinstall the top spray arm:

1.Return the top spray arm to its installed position.

2.Return the locking nut to its installed position and turn it 1/8 turn clockwise.

4.If the spray nozzles need cleaning, flush them under running water.

To reinstall the bottom spray arm:

1.Return the bottom spray arm to its installed position and press it so that it snaps into place.

2.Return the bottom rack to its installed position.

•Check and clean the filter system

This dishwasher has a filter system that consists of a Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly and a Fine Filter. Select models have an additional Micro Filter. The filter system is located on the inside of your dishwasher under the lower rack and is easily accessible. During normal use, the filter 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.

Stainless Steel Doors

Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a liquid spray) made for cleaning stainless steel. For the best results, apply the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe the surface.

•Clean the Door Gasket

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.

•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.
