IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded to
a metal, permanent wiring system or
an equipment grounding conductor

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

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.

kitchenware rated as dishwasher
safe.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents
recommended for use in a
dishwasher, and keep them out of
the reach of children.
9 CAUTION
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.
Do not abuse, sit or stand on the
door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
9 WARNING
RISK OF INJURY!
To avoid risk of injury, always
use caution when opening the
door during or following a wash
cycle as hot water or steam
may escape. Do not fully open
the door until water noises have
stopped and steam has
subsided.

■ 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.
Loading the lower rack
Place large items in the lower
rack 9". Load pots, pans and bowls

Note: Do not place detergent
tabs or utensils in the detergent
tab tray 1B. Place tabs or other
detergent forms directly in the
detergent dispenser 92.
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.

When using detergent tabs, lay
them such that they do not come
in contact with the cover, insert a
detergent tab flat, not on its side.

The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the ideal time for
the set cycle. The powder or liquid
detergent is distributed in the
appliance and is dissolved,
detergent tabs will fall into the
detergent tab tray 1B where it
dissolves during the cycle.
Tip: If the utensils are only lightly
soiled, slightly less than the indicated
amount of detergent is usually
adequate.

Dishwasher Cycles
Wash cycle Recommended use Possible wash cycle option
Pots & Pans Best for cleaning items with
baked-on food or grease. These
dishes would normally require
soaking.
Auto Smartest cycle, with most flexible
soil sensing capability. This cycle is
optimal for use with mixed dishware
and food soils.
Glass Best for delicate dishes and glasses.
This cycle lowers temperature and
cycle length to decrease energy
usage.
Normal
(see note at bottom
of table)
Recommended for daily, regular or
typical use to completely wash a full
load of normally soiled dishes.
Express 30 min. 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 or Regular 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 92, 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.

Delay
Allows you to delay the start time of
your dishwasher up to 24 hours.
Save Time
Save Time is an option that allows
saving time without sacrificing wash
and dry performance. Selecting this
option ensures the same final
temperatures as the underlying cycle,
while heating up the dishes more
quickly. Selecting this option also
increases energy consumption while
reducing cycle time.
Half Load*
Can reduce water consumption when
washing small, lightly soiled loads
that fill approximately half of the
dishwasher’s capacity.
Delicate
Available only in the Pots & Pans,
Auto and Normal cycles. This
option’s lower temperature will
reduce the risk of cloudy glasses.
Sanitize
Available only in the Pots & Pans,
Auto and Normal cycles. The
sanitize LED will light when sanitation
requirements are met. The technical
sanitation measures may also
improve the drying results.
