• NSF certiﬁ ed residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. connected to a ground 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 this appliance. Read the Installation Instructions for details.

• This dishwasher is designed to operate on r

egular house current (120V, 60Hz). Use a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if dishwasher is connected with a food disposer.

• Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place.

• Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a dishwasher.

• Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.

• Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children.

• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.

• Do not wash plastic items unless marked: “Dishwasher Safe” or equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked. Items that are not marked dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential ﬁ re hazard.

This appliance must be

If hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let water ﬂ ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an open ﬂ ame during this time.

• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

Feature Overview

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surf then ﬁ lls with water covering the ﬁ lter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the ﬁ lter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water ﬁ lls varies with the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions

E n e r g y U s e

The yellow energy guide label that came on your unit tells how much energy it would use in one year and how it compares to others that are available. The energy is based on the Normal cycles response to tests that apply soils and dishware that simulate the average use. Eight place settings of dishware and some serving pieces are used during the test. The total energy is based on running the average number of cycles per year, applying typical soil levels to the dishware and half the time, selecting the option of using extra energy to more fully dry the dishware. Actual energy and water use will depend upon the cycle and options you select.

This unit uses an in-line water heating element that is located under the tub. There is no exposed heater that plasticware might come in contact with or that is accessible to touch. The heat is taken to the dishware through the heated water. For this reason, plastic dishware may be placed where it best ﬁ ts in either the top or bottom rack. Temperatures are uniform throughout the dishwasher.

If the user prefers to save energy and dry the dishes by hand they select air dry instead of heated dry. Air dry is still an option. If you prefer to spend slightly more energy to get the dishes drier then turn the air dry option off. In response the wash and rinse temperatures in the cycle will be increased.

This will help the cleaning and it will also get the dishwasher hotter. When the ﬁ nal drain removes all standing water, the extra heat stored in the dishware will act to evaporate the remaining water.

Your unit provides a selection of cycles. In general, the more water used by a cycle and the hotter the temperatures it reaches the more energy that it uses. Several cycles, such as the Normal cycle will change their response based on soil level, options selected, and ambient conditions. The Normal cycle is good for all around use. Other cycles are focused toward special use like the Heavy cycle that is designed for heavily solid cookware.

N o

r m a l O p e r a t i n g S o u n d s

Your dishwasher uses energy efﬁ cient motors for the wash and dr select. Each cycle has a series of water ﬁ lls and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may or may not hear the drain motor. You may also hear the splashing of water as it enters the tub and the spray arms as they rotate and circulate water. The wash motor often pulsates throughout the cycle, which varies water pressure and optimizes performance.

N o r m a l O p e r a t i n g L i g h t s

Your dishwasher pad lights when either the Cycle or Option desired is selected. All cycle and option pads have a white back light when the pads are deselected and turn blue when selected. In Delay selection and Rinse Aid setting, the deselected pads are turned off.

NOTE

Your unit has DishSenseTM is used to understand how heavily soiled the dish load is so the cycle can be automatically adjusted to the appropriate response. This helps to prevent energy waste. The sensor is calibrated at the end of the cycle. For the ﬁ rst cycle after power is applied (when ﬁ rst installed or after a power failure) the sensor will not be calibrated and so cannot determine the soil load. Therefore, your unit will provide a response suitable for heavy soils on the ﬁ rst run after power is restored. This will assure that whatever is loaded will be cleaned. Energy use during this ﬁ rst run may be higher than would be typical.

Cycle times are approximate and vary by options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils.

An automatic sensor checks the water temperature for the main wash of each cycle. When HI-TEMP is selected, the sensor checks for an even higher temperature. Run hot water in a faucet nearest the dishwasher until water is hot before starting.

The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Auto, Nor time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes.

Auto

The dishwasher’s Smart Sensor technology will determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efﬁ ciently every time. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes are placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be performed. When a full load of heavily solid dishes are placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed. Water usage ranges from approximately 3.0 to 7.4 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 118 to 200 mins.

SANITIZE option. This option heats the water temperature in the ﬁ nal rinse to 1570F (69.40C) and maintains that temperature for 7 minutes. SANITIZE is available in Auto, Heavy, and Normal cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.

The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 1200F (490C).

If the SANITIZE option is selected, the pad illuminates with a blue light. criteria may not be satisﬁ ed if there is an interruption of the cycle, a power failure occurs, or if incoming water temperature is below 1200F (490C).
