WARNING
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use

other than those explained in the following pages.
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of

original equipment factory replacement parts.
Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the
dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the

supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloridecontaining products can damage your dishwasher and may present
health hazards!
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements
of 6 for soil removal and sanitation efficacy. There is no intention,
either directly or indirectly, to imply that all cycles on a certified
machine have passed the sanitization performance test.
NOTICE
Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The
manufacturer will not be liable for the possible damages or consequences.
It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the

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
using the dishwasher.
2 This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring sys-
tem, 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:
• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES 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.
6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dish-
washer.
7 To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the
dishwasher.
8 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is
the legal responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure
the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
9 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.
10 Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher for service or discarding.
11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow
wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
12 Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freez-
ing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by
freezing is not covered by the warranty.

13 This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded.

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.
Recommended
Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in
your water may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be
removed with a soap-filled steel wool pad.
China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted utensils may discolor,
fade or spot. Hand wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so that
it will not topple over or come in contact with other utensils during the
wash cycle.
Glass: Milk glass may discolor or become yellow.
Non-stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick sur-
faces after drying.
Plastics: Make sure the plasticware is dishwasher safe.
Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver and Silver Plates: Load these so they do
not come in contact with other metals.
Not Recommended
Acrylic: Crazing or 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: These items will tarnish. Hand wash and dry
immediately.
Tin: Tin will stain. Hand wash and dry immediately.
Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils and utensils with wooden handles
can crack, warp and lose their finish.
Loading the Dishwasher
Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached soiling. Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, bakedon or starchy soils may require some pretreatment. Refer to the Dishware
Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.
Load only dishwasher safe items. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the
insides of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and
contact points between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.
7
Loading the Top Rack
Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block
the spray arms.
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 connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Place large items in the bottom rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside
down. Do not block vent with tall baking sheets or cutting boards, etc.
Load these items on the left side of the dishwasher.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.
