MMPORTANT SAFETY MNSTRUCTMONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

[] Read aHinstructions 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 likeUyto 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.

SAVE THESE UNSTRUCTUONS

[] 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, 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.

Tip Over Hazard Do not use dishwasher untl completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

Electrica! Shock Hazard

Electrica!ty ground dishwasher. Connect ground wire to green ground connector

in terminal box. Do not use an extension cord. Falure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDmNG mNSTRUOTmONS

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 permanenly 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.

SAVE THESE mNSTRUCTmONS

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. See "Storing" in the "Dishwasher Care" 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-UPGUIDE

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.

Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.

Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher Loading.") Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

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.

Close the door and press START/RESUME to continue the cycle. OR

Press CANCEL/DRAIN. A 2-minute drain starts.

DISHWASHERLOADING

Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

..,ii%

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.

Select the desired cycle andoptions. (See"Dishwasher Use.")

6. Press START/RESUME. NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is

interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not resume until the door is closed, and Start/Resume is pressed.

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. Do not let metallic items

(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur.

• 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.

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.
