Feature Overview

How your dishwasher cleans

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher drains for a few seconds to remove soils dropped while loading, 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.

Getting Started

To run your dishwasher, follow these basic steps:

1. Load Dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).

2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).

3. Add Rinse Aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).

4. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off.

5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Selections Chart).

6. Select desired OPTION (See Energy Option Selection).

7. To start, press START pad and close door immediately.

NOTE

Racks and Features in your dishwasher model may vary in appearance from illustrations in this manual

Operating Instructions

Energy Use

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.

Normal Operating Sounds

Your dishwasher uses energy efﬁ cient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you 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.

Normal Operating Lights

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 Technology that 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.

Operating Instructions

Wash Cycle Selections

Eco

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.

Cycle Selections

The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Auto, Normal and Eco cycles. Cycle 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.

For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately 4.3 to 7.7 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 86 to 93 mins.

Rinse

For rinsing dishes that will be washed later. Water usage is approximately 2.2 gallons. Cycle time is approximately 15 mins.

Favorite This cycle allows you to program your preferred

cycle and options into one button. To program this cycle: select the cycle and options your desire then press and hold the Favorite pad until the pad becomes blue. The selected cycle and options are saved as the FAVORITE. All the settings that were chosen are illuminated with a blue light. Once programmed, simply press the Favorite pad to select the saved cycle and options, press the START pad and close the door immediately to start your programmed cycle.

Fast For regularly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and

silverware. Water usage is approximately 4.5 gallons. Wash time is approximately 30 mins.

Heavy

For pots, pans, casserole dishes and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Water usage ranges from approximately 7.1 to 8.1 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 129 to 189 mins.

Normal For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water

usage ranges from approximately 3.0 to 7.4 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 118 to 200 mins.

Upper For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and

silverware when you do not have a full load. Water usage is approximately 3.5 to 4.3 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 52 to 128 mins.

Stemware

For regularly soiled China and Crystal. Water usage is approximately 4.9 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 96 to 116 mins.

NOTE

Opening the door during normal operation will only pause the selected cycle.

Operating Instructions

If you have selected your cycle and options and decide to cancel, press the CANCEL pad, the unit will go into a stand-by mode, which all LEDs will go out.

Energy Option Selections

Hi-Temp

When HI-TEMP option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 1400F (600C).

This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food, grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. HITEMP option can only be used with AUTO, HEAVY, NORMAL and UPPER cycles.

Sanitize To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the

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. The sanitization 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).

Sanitize pad ﬂ ashes at the end of the cycle if the NSF requirements for sanitization are not reached.

Operation Selection

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

Filing the Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one covered cup. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent.

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause oversudsing.

• When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.

CAUTION

The use of industrial grade detergent can damage parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergent.

How much Detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water ﬁ lming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause etching to some glassware which is surface damage that appears like a ﬁ lm but cannot be wiped off. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

Main Wash Cup

NOTE

Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see “Removing Spots and Film” section.

Main Wash Cover

NOTE

Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs may not dissolve completely if used with the Quick Wash cycles. If one of these products are used, place the tab or pack directly on the bottom of the tub in a corner before starting the dishwasher, rather than placing these products in the dispenser.

NOTE

For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the diswasher will continue through the cycle.

The rinse aid dosage is shown in the Status Window. Press and hold the RINSE pad for 5 seconds until the Status Window shows L1, L2, L3 or L4, RINSE pad illuminates with white light, while the other pads are off. Pressing “RINSE” pad will change the levels. Once the Rinse-aid level reaches L4, the level will go back to L1 and start the count over. Press START pad to save setting, the setting will be shown for 10 seconds. Press START pad to save.

Rinse Aid

Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, ﬁ lming, and lubricates wash arm bearing for proper rotation. With it water “sheets” off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.

A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed. The indicator will be dark when full and the status window will show LOW RINSE when it is time to reﬁ ll.

To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated ﬁ ll level. Close the cover.

Do not overﬁ ll since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes, depending on setting.

How to adjust the rinse aid dosage

Factors Affecting Performance

Water Pressure

The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.

Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance you may need to wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.

Rinse Aid Compartment

Rinse Aid Cover

Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the AIR DRY option saves pennies per cycle. You may choose to select the AIR DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120oF (49oC) to give satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering dishwasher:

• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.

• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature.

• If temperature is below 120 a qualiﬁ ed person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

F (49oC), have

IMPORTANT

Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipes.

Care & Cleaning

Outside - Occasionally wipe with a mild

nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on the counter top and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty.

Clean the Cylinder Fine Filter

The Cylinder Fine Filter is designed to collect some big items such as broken glass, bones and pits. The Cylinder Fine Filter needs to be cleaned to maximize wash performance.

Remove the Cylinder Fine Filter as shown, rotate it counterclockwise, lift it out, empty and clean it by rinsing under running water and replace. It may be necessary to use a sponge or bottle brush to remove excess food residue.

Clean the Coarse Filter

Take out the Cylinder Fine Filter and remove the Coarse Filter from the dishwasher tub bottom. Flush the Coarse Filter by holding it under running water and replace.

Solutions to Common Problems

Winterizing

A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be protected from freezing. Have a qualiﬁ ed person do the following.

To Disconnect Service:

1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker.

2. Shut off water supply.

3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from the inlet valve and drain into pan.

4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water into pan.

To Restore Service:

1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply.

2. Turn on water and electrical power supply

3. Fill detergent cup and run the dishwasher through HEAVY WASH cycle.

4. Check connections to make sure they do not leak.

CAUTION

Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within your dishwasher are protected. Failure to do so could result in property damage.

• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).

• Place delicate items in top rack.

• Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.

• Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.

• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.

Water in Bottom of Tub

• Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does not Drain Properly).

Dishware Stained or Discolored

• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown ﬁ lm. A special ﬁ lter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).

• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items. Load Properly.

• Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.

• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.

Cycle Takes a Long Time

• Is cycle in a water heating delay?

• Has the delay start option been selected?

• Has the sanitize option been selected?

Normal Sounds You Will Hear

• Normal sounds include water ﬁ ll, water circulation and motor sounds.

Dishwasher Leaks

• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.

Etching

• Using too much detergent especially in soft or softened water causes damage that looks like a ﬁ lm but cannot be removed.

• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).

• Lower the water temperature.

Detergent Left in Dispenser Cup

• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.

• Be sure the dish load doesn’t block spray from entering the detergent cup.

• Check to see if cycle has been completed.

• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

Solutions to Common Problems

Vapor at Vent

• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying part of cycle. This is normal.

• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overﬂ owing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

• Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions).

Dishwasher Won’t Run or Fill (error code i10)

• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.

• Check to see if the water supply is turned on and the pressure of the water supply is not too low. (Contact your local water company).

• Check to see if the water tap is open and is not clogged.

• Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions).

• Check to see if the dishwasher is not set for Delay Start.

• Check and insure the door is closed and latched.

• Check to see if the ﬁ lter in the inlet hose is not clogged and is free of kinks and bends.

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly (error code i20)

• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.

• Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet.

• Check the sink spigot is not clogged.

• Check to see if drain hose is free of kinks and bends.

• Check to see if the cycle is complete, not in a pause.

Dishwasher has an Odor

• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse cycle.

• There will be a “new” smell when ﬁ rst installed. This is normal.

• Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly).

Stains on Tub Interior

• Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining.

Removing Spots and Film

Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and ﬁ lm for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove buildup, and ﬁ lm, clean using the following instructions:

1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.

2. Do not add detergent.

3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Press START pad. Close and latch the door.

4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second water ﬁ ll (approximately 10 minutes).

5. Unlatch an and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.

6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to ﬁ nish.
