DISHWASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are 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 potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
DANGER
WARNING
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
follow instructions.
can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
You
instructions.
follow
■ 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, 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 or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

Before Using Your Dishwasher
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground connector in
terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
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.
■
For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Install where dishwasher is sheltered from the elements.
Avoid possible rupture of fill valve from freezing. Such
ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See “Storing”
section for winter storage information.
■ 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.

START-UP GUIDE
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials.
Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important
safety information and useful operating tips.
Using Your New Dishwasher
1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)
Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse
aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
DISHWASHER LOADING
Loading Suggestions
■ Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module
removes food particles from the water. The module contains a
chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells
enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal
when hard items enter the module. To avoid damage to the
dishwasher, do not let metallic items (such as pot handle
screws) get into the wash module.
■ It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
■ Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all
surfaces.
■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
■ Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to
wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach,
and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to
dry over a period of time.
4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run
hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water
is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
5. Select the desired cycle. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
6. Select the desired option. (See “Option Selections.”)
7. Press the START/RESUME button.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
■ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of
the spray arm.
■ Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
dishwasher operation to avoid noise transfer through drains.
Loading Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.
(See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
Stopping Your Dishwasher
You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.
1. Open the door slightly.
2. Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all
the way, if needed.
3. Close the door to continue the cycle.
4. Press the START/RESUME button.
6
Cup and glass load
Mixed load
■ Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
■ Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not
designed for glasses. Damage can occur.
■ Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing
them over the tines can lead to breakage.
■ China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each
other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
■ Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items
marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.
■ Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move
them during the cycle.
■ To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
■ Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the
top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
Loading Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded
with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See
recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
■ Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety
of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls
securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
Utensil load
■ Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the
sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the
water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and
silverware basket.
■ Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
■ Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation
of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.
■ Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of
the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
Loading Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down.
Mixed load
■ Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom
rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are
secured in place.
■ Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing
inward to the spray.
■ Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
NOTES:
■ Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
■ Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
■ Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to
avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.

■ Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
■ Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
■ Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent if you have selected a rinse cycle.
Filling the dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing
the cover latch.
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How much
detergent to use.”
3. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed. (See “Cycle Selection
Charts.”)
4. Close the dispenser cover.
The cover will open during the cycle to dispense the detergent.

Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aids keep water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small
amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type
rinse aid.
Checking the dispenser
Check the center of the fill indicator cap. Clear means it needs
filling.
How much detergent to use
■ The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of
your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,
dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
■ Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out
your water’s hardness by asking your local water department,
water softener company, or county extension agent.
Where to fill
Top of 3rd step (9 tsp or 45 mL)
Top of 2nd step (6 tsp or 30 mL)
Top of 1st step (3 tsp or 15 mL)
8
Or you can remove the fill indicator cap. If an “E” is visible, the
dispenser is empty.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about 3 months. You do not
have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it
full, but be sure not to overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.
2. Remove the fill indicator cap.
3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of
the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out,
and could cause oversudsing.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the fill indicator cap. Close tightly.
Dishwasher Efficiency Tips
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.
Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F
(49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if
the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make
some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent
ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from
the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the
faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold
water in the water line.
To check water temperature
■ Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
■ If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
Cycle Selection Charts
Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START/
RESUME to use the same cycle and options as in the previous
cycle.
NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, the
dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and options that you
selected when you press Start/Resume.
A “● ” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have
some or all of the cycles shown.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. The cycle
control knob pauses as the water heats.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at
least 1 minute.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring
cup.
3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is
running into the cup.
Additional efficiency tips
■ To save water and energy and time, do not rinse dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.
These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal
cycle.
■ Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
■ Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use
a rinse aid to improve drying.
■ Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.

4. Close the door firmly until it latches. Press START/RESUME.
The dishwasher starts a new cycle.
Adding Items During a Cycle
You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts, or the
cycle control knob reaches Normal Wash.
1. Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying
action to stop before opening the door.
2. Open the door and add the item.
3. Close the door, but do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for the air

Canceling a Cycle
1. Press CANCEL/DRAIN. The Cancel/Drain light glows.
2. The dishwasher starts a 2-minute drain (if needed). Let the
dishwasher drain completely. The light turns off after
2 minutes. The door must be closed for the dishwasher to
drain.
To stop the drain
You can press CANCEL/DRAIN again to stop the drain. Be sure
to drain the dishwasher before starting a new cycle.
Option Selections
You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you
change your mind, press the option again to turn the option off.
Select a different option if desired.
You can change an option anytime before the selected option
begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option
anytime before drying begins.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle, unless you
select new options.
Hi-Temp Wash
Select this option to heat the water to 140°F (60°C) in the main
wash. This option adds heat and wash time. Heating the water
helps improve washing results.
NOTE: The Pots & Pans cycle automatically uses this option. HiTemp Wash is an option with the Heavy and Normal wash cycles.
This option does not work with the Light wash cycle.
Heated Dry
The Heated Dry option in combination with rinse aid will give you
excellent drying results. The energy to use Heated Dry costs
pennies per cycle. Heated Dry is on when the light is lit on the
Heated Dry button. Be sure to load plastic items in the upper rack
to avoid damage. You may turn off the Heated Dry option by
pressing HEATED DRY so that the light goes off. However, you
will have items in your dish load that will not be dry at the end of
the cycle.
NOTE: The Heated Dry option is used in all cycles except Quick
Rinse.
