Dishwasher Safety
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the
word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured
wDANGER
wWARNING
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
if you don’t follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t follow instructions.
WARNING – When using the
dishwasher, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• Use the dishwasher only for its
intended function.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher
and keep them out of the reach of
children.
• When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they
are not likely to damage the door
seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the 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 touch the heating element
during or immediately after use.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are properly in
place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the
door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or on the
dishwasher.
• 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, before
using the dishwasher 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 time.
• Remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Using Your Dishwasher
This section tells you how to start or stop your dishwasher. Refer to it for quick reference.
Before using your dishwasher
wWARNING
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until
completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury
or cuts.
• Install where dishwasher is protected from
the elements. Protect against freezing to
avoid possible rupture of fill valve. Such
ruptures are not covered by the warranty.
Refer to the “Storing your dishwasher”
section.
• Install and level dishwasher on a floor that
will hold the weight, and in an area suitable
for its size and use.
• Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and
connectors (such as the cap on the drain
outlet) before installing. See Installation
Instructions for complete information.
wWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground
connector in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
6
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For a grounded, cord connected
dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for electric current. The
dishwasher is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in
doubt whether the dishwasher is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the dishwasher; if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
USING YOUR DISHWASHER
• For a permanently connected
dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to
a grounded 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 the dishwasher.

Adding a dish during a cycle
You can add an item to the dishwasher
anytime before the knob reaches Light Wash.
1. Lift up on the door latch to unlatch the
door and stop the cycle. Wait a moment
for the spray action to stop before opening the door.
2. Open the door and add the dish.
3. Close the door. Do not latch it. Wait 30
seconds for air in the dishwasher to warm
up. This helps reduce the amount of
moisture that can come from the vent
when restarting the cycle.
4. Press door in to latch it. The dishwasher
will start where it stopped.
Changing a cycle setting
You can change a setting anytime during
any cycle. To change the selected option(s):
1. Lift up on the door latch to unlatch the
door and stop the cycle.
2. Turn the cycle control knob clockwise to
the cycle you want.
3. Check the detergent dispenser to be sure
it is properly filled for the new cycle. See
the “Using the detergent dispenser”
section.
NOTE: Turning the cycle control knob
may cause the covered section of the
detergent dispenser to open. Be sure to
fill the covered section, and close the
cover, if the cycle uses detergent in both
sections.
4. Close and latch the door. The dishwasher
will automatically start the new cycle.
