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.

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.

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

with manufacturer for recommendations, if not 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. 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.

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!

NormalOperating

Sounds

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

Your Precision Wash Systerr_ 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.

Appearance may vary from your model.

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

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

4. Turn dial clockwise to select cycle (See Cycle Chart) or number of hours for delay

start.

5. Select desired energy OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The indicator will show red

when selected.

6. If using DELAY START, go to step number

7. For instructions on connecting the portable dishwasher, see "Connecting and Disconnecting the Portable/Convertible

Dishwasher"

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

9. To start, close door to latch.

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.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON'T

hear!

Energy Options

Hi-Temp Wash Option

When HI-TEMP WASH ON option is selected, the

dishwasher heats the water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C). Wash action will

continue but timer will not advance until proper

temperature is reached. The hotter water provided

by this option helps activate dishwasher detergent

to clean food grease and soil from dishes. HI- TEMP WASH ON option can be used with any

cycle except RINSE HOLD.

To turn off option, select HI-TEMP WASH OFF.

Hi-Temp Rinse Option (available select models)

When HI-TEMP RINSE ON option is selected, the

dishwasher heats the water in the final rinse to approximately 140°F (60°C). This will speed

drying and reduce spotting. HI-TEMP RINSE ON

option can be used with any cycle except RINSE HOLD.

To turn off option, select HI-TEMP RINSE OFF.

Heat Dry Option

HEAT DRY ON option provides faster drying since the heating element is on during the drying portion of cycle.

HEAT DRY OFF option saves electricity since the heating element is off during the drying portion of cycle. To speed drying process, open the door slightly after the cycle is complete. Some water droplets may remain on door and tub and in areas

where dishes touch silverware basket and rack. With either option, you may see water vapor

coming from vent during the washing and/or drying portion of cycle. On some models, the vent is closed during washing to hold moisture and sound inside and then opens for drying.

The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period.
