9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

This dishwasher is intended for use up to a maximum altitude of 13,000 ft (4,000 meters) above sea level.

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

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH! 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.

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY!

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

9 WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE!

Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed and the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

6

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

9 WARNING

RISK OF EXPLOSION!

■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.

■When cleaning your dishwasher with any cleaning agent, remove all cookware, utensils or any foreign material from inside. Some cleaning agents are highly acidic and/or caustic alkaline, which can cause hydrogen gas to form if aluminum material is also inside the dishwasher tub. Hydrogen gas is explosive.

Refer to the Care and Maintenance section of the dishwasher Use and Care manual for instructions on how to properly clean your dishwasher.

9 WARNING

HEALTH HAZARD!

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

9 WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! 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 if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Loading the racks

For best dishwashing results, observe the following when loading the dishwasher:

■Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached food soil.

■Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease.

■Pre-treat items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils.

■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. Use care to not block movement of the spray arms.

■Only wash household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher-safe.

Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.

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.

Loading the upper rack

Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.

Note: When pushing the upper

rack 12 into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the upper rack spray

arm 1: connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.

Loading the lower rack

Place large items in the lower

rack 1j. Load pots, pans and bowls upside down. Do not block the vent hole 1J with tall baking sheets. Load these items on the right side of the dishwasher.

19

en-us Loading the Dishwasher

The Silverware basket *

This dishwasher is equipped with a silverware drawer* that should accommodate most silverware loading needs.

However, if you are washing while the silverware drawer has been removed, or with excess silverware, a silverware basket is also included.

When loading the silverware basket you should avoid excessive contact points and nesting of similar items (allowing two spoons to rest inside one another).

A good way to avoid excessive contact points is to load the silverware basket with the lids closed, inserting each piece of silverware into one of the individual slots as shown.

Note: The silverware basket lid may also be folded downward in order to leave the basket open.

The Double Flex silverware basket *

This basket splits along its length, resulting in two halves that may be placed in a variety of positions in the lower rack 1j, greatly increasing the lower rack’s loading versatility. The basket snaps together either side by side or back to back.

To split the Double Flex silverware basket:

Grasp the basket and slide the two halves in opposite directions and then pull the two halves apart.

Side by side

20

Back to back

To assemble the Double Flex silverware basket:

Hold the two halves side by side or back to back, so that the tab on one basket can slip into the notch on the other basket. Push the two halves in opposite directions until they click.

* optional feature which may or may not be included with your dishwasher.

Unloading the dishwasher

9 CAUTION

Dishes can be very hot immediately after cycle ends. Open the door slightly and allow dishes to cool for a few minutes before unloading.

Note: Dishes are more likely to chip when unloading before cooling.

When unloading the dishwasher, to prevent water from dripping onto dry dishes, unload the lower

rack 1j first. Next, unload the silverware basket 1b followed by the upper rack 12, and then the third rack (if equipped).

en-us Detergent

.Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.

NOTICE

To avoid damage to dishwasher or dishware:

■Do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.

■Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware and fine china.

■To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle (depending on the model) and use a detergent that includes etch protection.

This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water,

1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml).

3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml 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 the following table.

Wash Cycle	Hard Water/	Medium Water/	Soft Water/
	Heavy Soil	Medium Soil	Little Soil
Heavy	3 tbsp	3 tbsp	1.75 - 3 tbsp

Delay

Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24 hours.

ExtraScrub*

This option increases pressure and temperature in the lower rack for intensive cleaning.

Extra Shine®*

Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the Extra

Shine® option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to further enhance drying results and provide a brilliant shine.

Top Rack*

For small, lightly soiled loads that fill primarily the top rack of the dishwasher. Can reduce water consumption.

Wash Cycle Information

To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control”

makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times are
