Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
WARNING - To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow
basic safety precautions, including the following:
WARNING WARNING
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher. Use the dishwasher only for its
intended purpose (to wash dishes, flatware,
pots and pans). This appliance is not
intended for commercial use.
• If you receive a damaged product,
immediately contact your dealer or builder.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
• The dishwasher must be mounted in a
completely enclosed cabinet.
• Repairs should be performed only by a
qualified technician. Disconnect the power
before servicing.
• Make sure individuals who use the
dishwasher are able to operate it properly.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended
in the area around the dishwasher, even
when it is not in use. Do not allow children
to play with the controls or other parts of the
dishwasher.
• Never allow anyone, including children, to sit,
stand or climb on any part of the dishwasher.
Stepping or sitting on any part of it may result
in tipping, damage, serious injury or death.
• Many surfaces within the dishwasher achieve
high temperatures. Do not touch the interior
surfaces or items inside the dishwasher
during or immediately after use. Exercise
caution when opening the door. Let hot air
and steam escape before looking or reaching
inside.
• Clean the dishwasher only as instructed in
this manual.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels (guard plate, access panel,
toe kick etc.) are in place.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
liquids or gases near this or any other
appliance.
• Store all detergents and rinse agents out of
the reach of children.
• Use only detergents and rinse agents
designed for use with a residential
dishwasher.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not run the dishwasher when you are out
of the building.
• 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 a period of
time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow for several minutes to release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or
use an open flame during this process.
CAUTION
• Use the dishwasher to wash flatware and
cookware ONLY. Washing other items may
damage or discolor the dishwasher. Wash
only the types of dishes and cooking utensils
indicated in this manual. Take care with
certain materials. Read the Loading Your
Dishwasher section before use.
• To prevent household mold and mildew
damage, periodically check the inlet and
drain hoses for leaks.
• Turn off the water supply valve if the
appliance will not be used for an extended
period of time.
• When loading items to be washed:
◊ Locate sharp items so that they are not
likely to damage the door seal.
◊ Load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Store the dishwasher where the temperature
remains above freezing. Avoid long transport
distances in very cold weather.
• Transport the dishwasher only in the upright
position or laying on its back.

Loading Your Dishwasher
WARNING
• Place sharp objects in the silverware basket
or knives in the knife stand (see page 6).
If it is not possible to load sharp objects in
the silverware basket, load them with the
sharp end toward the back of the dishwasher.
Locate these items where they will not
damage the door seal or cause personal
injury.
• When loading the silverware basket, insert all
sharp or pointed objects with the handles up.
CAUTION
Do not wash plastic items unless they are
marked “dishwasher safe.” Always check the
manufacturer’s recommendation before washing
plastic items that are not marked.
IMPORTANT
If the load will sit for a while before washing, run
the Rinse and Hold cycle to reduce the chance
of food hardening. Doing so will also reduce the
risk of acidic foods damaging metal surfaces.

Loading Your Dishwasher
Loading the Silverware Basket
IMPORTANT
• To prevent damage, do not load utensils and
silverware made of different materials (for
example silver and stainless steel) in the
same compartment of the silverware basket.
• For best results:
◊ Do not nest utensils in the silverware
basket.
◊ Load silverware with the handles down.
◊ Spread knives and large utensils out as
much as possible.
X
Covered Compartment
To prevent small, light items from falling out of the
rack when sprayed with water, put them in the
covered compartment. To cover the compartment:
1. Put small items into one of the middle
compartments of the silverware basket.
2. Lift up on the tab in the center of the basket to
expose the cover.
3. Snap the cover shut over the compartment.
NOTE: For convenience, you may also insert
silverware or small utensils into the slots on top of the
covered compartment. Insert them with the handles
down.
Silverware Basket Placement

front, in the direction shown. It ts over the two front
sets of tines.
Place silverware basket in front of
bottom rack, over tines
Pull up on tab in center,

Loading Your Dishwasher
Loading the Racks
CAUTION
• Always place large or heavy items (such as
pots, pans and large dishware) in the bottom
rack.
• To avoid damage to the racks, do not let
sharp edges come into contact with them.
• To minimize breakage and chipping, do not
allow fragile items to touch each other
IMPORTANT
• The spray arms must spin freely. Do not allow
items sticking out of the racks to block them.

Loading Your Dishwasher
• Place glasses, cups, bowls, small plates and
saucers in the top rack. Put wine glasses on the
wine glass shelf or lean them against it. Place
long knives in the knife stand.
• Scrape off leftover food items and non-food
items, like toothpicks and napkins, before
loading. It is not necessary to rinse items under
running water before loading them.
• Do not stack dishes, glasses or pots and pans.
Stacking will prevent water from getting to soiled
surfaces.
• Load all items so that the open ends face down
as much as possible. Load items that are not
completely face down so that the open end is
toward the center of the rack. Good drainage
provides the best drying.
• Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes,
pots and pans on the bottom rack.
• Load crystal and glass so that it does not knock
together during the wash cycle. Use the lowest
wash temperature and shortest wash and dry
cycles possible.
• To minimize noise, do not allow pots and pans to
touch. Also keep large items from touching the
sides of your dishwasher.
