SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Future Assistance

WARNING: Check with the installer to make sure the appliance has been properly grounded to

avoid possible electrical shock. Be sure you read the IMPORTANT PERSONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before you start to use this dishwasher.

Important Safety Instructions

Model Number

Serial Number

Please record your model and serial numbers in the spaces provided below. These numbers can be found in the upper left corner of the tub opening. They are needed for any correspondence or service calls concerning your dishwasher.

In addition, keep your sales slip or cancelled check. Should any warranty service be required, proof of original date of purchase is needed.

In our continuing effort to improve the quality of our dishwashers, it may be necessary to make changes to the appliance without revising this guide.

Products with a label have been listed with Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. – those with a CSA tag have been listed with Canadian Standards Association. Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using electricity and moving parts, there is a potential hazard.

1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before attempting to service.

4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back must be enclosed and the front panels must be attached before electrical power is applied to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for proper grounding procedures.

5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or play in, with, or around this dishwasher.

7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.

8. Be careful not to touch the heating element on the bottom of the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It may be hot.

9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products out of reach of children.

10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

11. 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. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, 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 flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this process.

12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

13. Do not tamper with controls.

14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation risk, always remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.

WARNING: When using your dishwasher, fol-

low basic precautions, including the following:

Loading Tips

Removable Utensil Basket

(Features vary slightly by model.)

For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together by placing some items in the basket with handles up and some with handles down. Load knives, handles up, through the slots in the covered section when closed (select models).

Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through the basket. This could block the lower wash arm.

Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic measuring spoons should be placed in the covered section (select models) of the basket for washing.

Upper Rack (Features vary slightly by model.)

This rack is designed to hold glasses, cups, small plates, bowls, cookware, etc. Small plates or bowls should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing the center of the rack.

Do not load

glasses over tines.

The Twin Shelf (select models) on the right side of the upper rack folds up or down. Fold it down to hold long-handled knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items like bowls, plates, etc.

•Scrape off bones or large food particles. Remove excessive quantities of greasy/oily substances.

• Scrape or soak items with burnt on foods as they require more energy than the rest of the load to clean.

•Scrape off tomato based food soils.

• If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher. This allows proper draining.

• Mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon and other acidic foods can cause rust or discoloration on stainless steel. Rinse these pieces as soon as possible.

• Starch from foods like potatoes, pasta, rice and oatmeal require more energy to clean than the rest of the load.

• Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing the center of the racks.

•Wedge flat, lightweight items next to the silverware basket or along the sides and back of the racks.

• Load items so they do not rest over the wash tower located in the center of the lower rack.

•Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not allowing items to extend beyond the racks.

• Place glasses in any row of the upper rack for proper cleaning and rinsing. Do not load glasses over the tines.

Lower Rack

(Features vary slightly by model.)

Large items may be placed in any convenient location in this rack. Keep soiled surfaces facing the center of the rack.

The back of this rack accommodates a row of dinner plates or two rows of smaller plates. Serving bowls and large pans fit across the front of the rack or on the left side.

Folding tines (select models) located on the right side, provide loading flexibility for large-shaped items.

Removing the Upper Rack

The upper rack can be removed when tall or oversized items need to be loaded into the lower rack.

Note: Avoid resting items over the center wash tower.

To remove:

• Roll the upper rack 1/3 to 1/2 of the way out.

• Remove the plastic rack stop from the end of each track. To remove each plastic rack stop, push inward (towards the rack) on the ridged area of the rack stop. The rack stop will snap open and can be easily removed by pulling straight out. Take care to support the track while removing rack stops.

• Roll the rack all the way out of the track and remove from the dishwasher.

• Reverse the above procedure to replace the upper rack into the dishwasher.

Step 4 Starting the

Dishwasher

Step 5 Adding a

Forgotten Item

Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Other types (laundry, hand soap, etc,) will cause oversudsing. Be sure to use fresh detergent and store it in a cool, dry place (not under the sink).

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness measured in grains per gallon* (gpg) and the amount of soil on the dishes. Generally detergent amounts should be increased for harder water and heavier soil. Refer to the following chart for detergent usage recommendations.

Do not use detergent with

Rinse Only. Leave the detergent

lid open when running

Rinse Only.

If the water hardness is 13 gpg or harder, it is difficult to achieve good results with any dishwasher. The solution is a mechanical water softener to improve water quality, detergent effectiveness, and to protect the dishwasher parts from the damage that hard water deposits may cause.

For best results, the incoming water temperature should be 120°-140° F. Check the water temperature by turning on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and letting it run into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising. If it is below 120° F have a qualified person raise the water heater setting.

If the outside temperature is unusually low, or if your water travels a long distance from the water heater to the dishwasher, you may want to turn on the hot water faucet at the sink and allow it to run until the water is hot. This assures that the initial fill of water is hot.

Aliquid rinse aid dispenser (select models) automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid into the final rinse portion of each cycle.

To fill the dispenser, turn the cap counterclockwise to open. Pour the rinse aid into the reservoir. Replace the cap and be sure it is securely in place before closing the dishwasher door.

Check the dispenser monthly and refill as needed.

Rinse aid is available in solid form for models without a liquid dispenser. When using a solid rinse aid, fasten it to the back right corner of the lower rack. Purchase more rinse aid when the material dissolves and the container is empty.

•After loading the dishwasher and adding detergent, set the control knob to the desired cycle and press the appropriate buttons.

•Press the door until it latches. The cycle will begin with a drain prior to a fill.

For best cleaning, the forgotten item should be added early in the cycle.

1. Unlatch the door.

2. Wait for the water circulation to stop.

3. Open the door and add the item.

4. Close and latch the door.

5. The cycle resumes automatically.

Cycles at a Glance

Options and Indicator Lights:

Temp Boost(select models) checks the main wash and final rinse water temperatures and will extend the heating and water circulation until proper water temperature is reached.

Care & Cleaning

Interior

The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning. Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if any large particles have not gone through the strainer portion of the module.

Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil splashes which occurred during loading.

The color from some tomato-based food soils has been known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher tubs, causing temporary discoloration. To help prevent this, when

washing a load of dishes soiled with tomato sauce:

• Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior to loading. Do not prewash the dishes, however.

• Run the Heavy Wash cycle.

Exterior

The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.

Storage/Moving

Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dishwasher detergent or baking soda and select the Normal Wash cycle. Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, start any cycle as all cycles begin with a drain. Listen for the drain to

complete, then open the door to interrupt the cycle prior to the fill. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is removed. Last, disconnect the electrical supply and prop open the door. (See Important Safety Instructions, #14, page 1).

To Change the Door Panel Insert

(select models)

WARNING: Disconnect electrical power to the dishwasher before changing the door panel insert.

1. Using a Phillips screw driver, remove either the right or left-hand door trim strips by removing the three screws.

2. Grasp the panel insert(s) and gently flex out slightly. Slide panel(s) out about two inches. Continue to flex insert panel(s) enough to remove them. Use care, edges may be sharp.

3. Select color and reinstall panel(s). Place insert panel(s) (notched corners at the top) on the inside of the lower door panel trim. Make sure the upper notched corners of the insert(s) are under the control panel.

4. Reinstall the side trim.

Your dishwasher offers various cycles and options to adjust to specific load conditions. Please refer to the chart below.

Select Temp Boost to ensure proper water temperature for activating detergent and dissolving greasy food soils.

Extended Wash (select models) provides a water temperature check early in the main wash and also in the final rinse of the cycle. If necessary, the heating element turns on and the cycle extends until the water is heated to the proper temperature. Select Extended Wash for best results when wash- ing loads with tough food soils.

Heated Dry turns the heating element on to improve drying results. Selecting Heated Dry Off (select models) or Energy Saver (select models) turns the element off to save energy. To wel drying may be needed with these selections. In models with plastic interiors, it is normal to notice vapor escaping from the door vents as the heat dries your dishes. Vapor will escape even if Heated Dry is not selected.

Delay Hours (select models) can be used to delay the start of the cycle for up to 6 hours. The Delay Start indicator light glows when the dishwasher is set for a delay start.

The Water Heating indicator light (select models) illumi- nates when the cycle is being extended to heat the water to the proper temperature.

CAUTION: In models with plastic interiors, it is

normal to notice vapor escaping from the door vents in the upper left corner of the door as the heat dries your dishes. The vapor is hot and may cause minor burns.

Before You Call

Dishwasher Will Not Fill:

• Be sure door is latched securely.

• Be sure the water is turned on.

• Check that the dial/pad is properly selected for a cycle.

•Allow time for select models to drain/pause before filling.

• Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.

• Check inlet hose for a kink.

•Check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary.

Dishwasher Will Not Drain/Water In Tub Bottom:

• If connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knock-out is removed from the disposer inlet.

• Be sure the drain hose is elevated at least 32” so water cannot siphon back into the tub.

• Check for food obstruction in the drain or disposer.

• Check drain hose for a kink.

• Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.

• Check that the cycle is completed.

Detergent Cup Is Not Empty:

• Check that the cycle is completed.

• Be sure dispenser is not blocked by a dish or utensil.

• Use fresh detergent stored in a cool, dry place.

Dishwasher Seems Noisy:

•Awater valve hiss during fill is normal.

•Water circulation sounds are normal.

•Aticking noise is a normal timer sound.

•Athumping sound may be a wash arm bumping an item that is extending beyond the racks.

• Chopping or grinding sounds may be heard during drain as the internal food disposer chops hard items like fruit seeds, nuts, etc.

• Humming during the drain is normal.

•Asnap noise is the detergent cup lid hitting the door liner when the dishwasher door is opened at the end of the cycle. This is normal.

•Proper installation affects the noise level.

Cycle Takes Too Long (Heating Delay Light Stays On, select models):

• AccuTemp™or Temp Boost (select models) has been selected and the cycle is extended if the water temperature is low.

• Check to see that the incoming water temperature is 120-140° F (49-60° C).

Dishwasher has an Odor:

• Run dishes being held in the dishwasher through a Rinse Only cycle.

•Many dishwashers have a “new” smell when first installed. This will dissipate with use.

•Dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See “Will Not Drain” section.)

• For a strong odor place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Light Wash and allow the water to circulate for about 10 minutes. Interrupt the cycle by unlatching the door and let it stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by latching the door and allow it to complete the cycle. Acommercial dishwasher cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner* can also be used.

Dishwasher Leaks:

• Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation Instructions.)

• Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent carefully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand if sudsing continues.

• Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 3).

• Be sure the Rinse Aid (select models) lid is securely attached and is not leaking.

Before You Call

* Brand names are trademarks of the respective manufacturer. ** Call 1-800-688-8408 to order.

Food Soil Remains on Dishes:

•Check water temperature (pg 3).

• Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.

• Select AccuTemp

™

or Temp Boost (select models).

• Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly (pg. 3).

• Use fresh detergent stored in a cool dry place.

• Select proper cycle for the soil level.

• Load items so they do not block the wash arms or center tower (pg. 2).

• Load the utensil basket with some handles up and some down to prevent nesting.

• Do not place glasses over tines.

• Prior to loading, scrape off burnt on foods and wipe the starchy film from utensils used with pasta, rice and oatmeal. These soils require more energy than the rest of the load to clean.

Glasses Are Cloudy/Spotted:

• Always use a rinse aid.

•Check water temperature, incoming water should be 120°-140° F (49-60° C).

• Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water hardness (pg. 3). Be sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a high quality brand.

• If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too hot, from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and be sure incoming water is not greater than 140° F (60° C). Use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).

Items Washed In The Dishwasher Or The Dishwasher Tub Itself Is Stained/Discolored:

•Aluminum utensils or pans can leave marks when they rub against other items. Leave a slight space between items.

•Iron deposits in the water can leave a yellow, brown or orange film on dishes or the dishwasher tub. Afilter may be needed, check with a water treatment company. RoVer Rust Remover* (part no. 057961)** can be used to remove rust. Do not use RoVer along with dishwasher detergent. Fill both cups with RoVer and complete a Normal Wash cycle. Follow with a short wash cycle using dishwasher detergent.

• Color from tomato sauces may adhere to the tub (pg. 4). If light staining has occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain away. For removal of heavier stains, try a citric acid containing dishwasher cleaning product such as Glisten* (part no. 18001017)**. Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.

Items Not Properly Dried/Moisture Is Present On The Dishwasher Interior After The Dry Cycle:

• Be sure Heated Dry is selected.

•Water droplets may form on the inner door as part of the drying process.

• Always use a rinse aid like Jet Dry* or Cascade Rinse Aid*.

•Check water temperature (pg. 3).

• Select AccuTemp

™

or Temp Boost (select models).

• Increase detergent amount to match water hardness (pg. 3).

• Load properly (pg. 2)

•Plastic and teflon items are difficult to dry because the porous surface tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.

• Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water and require towel drying.

Dishware is Chipped:

• Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other (pg. 2).

•Washing antique china/crystal in the dishwasher is not recommended.

• Do not load glasses over the tines.

• Do not overload.
