Important Safety Instructions

This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as personal injury, burns, fire, and

electrical shock.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or

injury when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the following:

• Read all instructions before using your dishwasher.

Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this Use and Care Manual.

• This Manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use

common sense and caution when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

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

DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions for details.

• This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if dishwasher is connected with a food waste disposer.

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

• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from any

dishwasher that is discarded or not in use. Keep young children and infants away from

dishwasher when it is operating. 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.

marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

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

• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

• Repairs should be done by a qualified

technician.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

• Use care unloading the dishware when the

SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents may be hot to the touch immediately after the end of cycle.

• Water vapor from the vent may be hot to the

touch when the SANITIZE option has been selected. Use care and do not let small children

play around or touch the vent area of the dishwasher.

When loading items to be washed:

- Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal or

tub.

- Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has

not been used for such a period, before using dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let

water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.

HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not

smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. Check with

manufacturer for recommendations, if not

Dishwasher Features

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions

Very Important

Information--Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher!

Normal Operating Sounds

This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers--IT'S QUIETER.

Your Precision Direct Wash System® dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select.

Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains

for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may-or may not-hear the drain

motor.

The next sound you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm

rotates and circulates water. This is followed by

a pause and a slightly different sound as the

middle arm sprays water. If you listen closely,

you will hear the change in sound as the wash action switches from one arm to the other.

Appearance may vary from your model.

Getting Started

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. Close door to latch.

5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator light above the pad will glow when

selected.

6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy

Options). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.

7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until

water is hot. Turn water off.

8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.

Wash Cycle Selections

Note: Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to

activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming

water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in

the main wash of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been

selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be guaranteed to

handle heavier soil loads.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this

dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T heart
