IMPORTANT SAFET Y I NSTRUCT I ONS
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:
Ri s k of fire, el ect ri cal shock, or s er i ous injury
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 ELECTRICAL SHOCK
OR FIRE!
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 and the
dishwasher has been properly
grounded.
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.

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 lower rack
Place large items in the lower

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

Di s hwa s h er Cyc l e s
Wash cycle Recommended use Possible wash cycle option
Heavy Best for cleaning items with baked-on
food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking or hand scouring.
Auto Smartest cycle, with most flexible soil
sensing, which is ideal for mixed dishware
and food soils.
Normal
(see note at bottom of table)
Speed60® *
Recommended for daily, regular or typical
use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes.
Cleans freshly soiled dishes with easy to
remove soils.
This cycle reduces cycle time while still
including drying.
Clean30® *
Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces
overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean
glasses and dessert dishware that may
need to be reused at the same event.
Rinse Use this cycle if you need to pre-rinse
dishes to avoid odors. Place unrinsed
dishes inside the dishwasher and select
the Rinse cycle. Uses less water than
hand rinsing and very low energy.

Note: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal soil sensing cycle as
follows: The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the rinse aid
dispenser 9". A single dose of detergent was inserted into the detergent
dispenser 9*, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not
subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We
recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test
have the rack position set in the highest position.

option raises the temperature
Sanitize *
Increases the temperatures and
retains them for an extra long time to
obtain a defined disinfecting
performance. Continuous use of this
function increases the hygiene status.
This additional option is ideal for
cleaning items such as chopping
boards and baby bottles.
Using the Sanitize option may also
improve drying. The cycle time and
energy usage may be increased.
Extra Dry *
An increased temperature during the
final rinse and an extended drying
phase ensure that plastic parts dry
better. There is a slight increase in
the energy consumption.
* Not on all models. See fascia panel
for corresponding programs.
Delicate*
This option’s reduced time and
temperature are best for lightly soiled
items with easy to remove food soils.
The option also reduces the
likelihood of cloudy glasses. Rinse
aid is recommended for the high
gloss drying function (even when
using combination detergents).
