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.
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 unless 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!I
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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:
1This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2This 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.
3Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.
4Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
5When 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 cuttype 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.
6Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
7To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
8When 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.
9Under 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.
11To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
12Protect 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.
13This 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 and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
•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. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Dishwasher Setup
Water Softening System
Your dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results and is equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if you have a household water softening system, the internal system provided is not needed.
For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use the dishwasher water softening salt. The amount of salt dispensed can be set from “H:00” to “H:07”. Salt is not required at H:00 (this is the default factory setting). The amount of salt required depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water. See Table 1.
1Open the door and turn the unit on using the [ON/OFF] button.
2Hold down the “A” button (see page 4) and press [START] until
the display indicates “H:00”.
3Release both buttons.
4Press the “C” button to select the desired setting.
5Save the selected setting by pressing [START] and close the door.

Salt
Refill the salt container, using a funnel to pour, right before turning on the unit |
Figure 1 |
|
to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This prevents corro- |
|
|
sion. See Figure 1. |
* |
|
1 |
Open the screw cap of the salt container. |
|
2 |
Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for the |
|
3 |
first time). |
|
Add dishwasher salt until the water is displaced and runs out. |
|
|
4 |
Refill with salt as soon as the salt refill indicator is lit. |
|
Warning: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately begin any cycle.
Note: Refill salt only when the “Refill Salt” LED or the salt refill symbol is lit.
Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.
For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service.
