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.

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.
Use care unloading the dishware when the SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents may be hot to the touch

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 Your Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers--IT'S QUIETER.
Your Precision 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.

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.
Status Indicator Lights
Loading Dishes
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash
system will remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before
loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and
plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of
time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.
Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
Check manufacturer's recommendations before washing items in question.
If the dishwasher drains into a food
disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
(available select models)
When DELAY START option is selected, the
Delay Start light will glow as timer counts
down to begin cycle. The HEATING DELAY light means the cycle is
being extended to heat water to proper
temperature in the main wash or final rinse,
based on options selected.
CLEAN light comes on when a cycle is complete. To turn it off, turn dial slightly until
light goes off.
Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model
Important: Do not cover the funnel when loading.
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses
small plates, saucers and bowls. Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur
if placed in bottom rack. Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting
may occur if placed in bottom rack. Load items with open ends facing down for
better cleaning and draining. Damage may occur if delicate items touch
each other during dishwasher operation. Long-handled knives and utensils can be
placed in top rack. Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom
of the rack to block rotation of middle spray arm.
Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/stemware holder. They can be used
to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and other short items. Stagger items on upper
level so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold up to load tall glasses.
Utility Basket (available select
models)
The utility basket has two dividers that can be opened to hold longer items or closed for
small items like measuring spoons, bottle stoppers, etc. The covers on each end can be
folded down out of the way or closed to keep small items inside.
Do not cover funnel
_J
Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.
Place plates and platters so that they do not
touch.
Place bowls, casseroles and sauce pans with
the soiled surface facing down or toward the
center. Tilt slightly for better drainage. Be sure pan handles do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm
rotation.
Loading the Silverware Basket
Mix spoons, forks and knives to prevent nesting. Mixing items gives better cleaning and drying.
For safety, load sharp knives and forks with handles up.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.
Fold-down Tines (available select models)
The fold-down tines in the
lower rack
make easy loading of
those extra
large and hard-to-fit
tiems. The tines may be
left up for normal use or
folded down for
more flexible loading.
Some models have a covered section to hold small items Ilike measuring spoons, small
plastic items, etc. Close cover to keep items in place.
Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening.
Add the item and wait a few seconds to
allow cold air to slowly expand inside dishwasher.
Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.
Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered
cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to
release detergent.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can
result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called etching.Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents will cause oversudsing.
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

Factors Affecting
Dispenser & Detergents (continued)
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water
"sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of
rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and
poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located
under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse
aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level.
Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.
Dispenser Opening
Indicator
Performance
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool
water from pipes.
Hold a candy or meat thermometer in
stream of water to check the temperature.
If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot
water to clear cool water from pipe.

Care and Cleaning
Burn Hazard
Allow heating element to cool before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in
burns.
OutsideIOccasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and
dry.
Models with Stainless Steel Door--
Clean stainless steel door with Stainless Steel Magic, trademark of Magic American Corp., or
similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Avoid harsh or gritty cleaners or scouring pads
which may scratch the finish. InsideJThe inside of the dishwasher is self-
cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.
The filter is self- cleaning. A glass trap
located in the center of the filter is
designed to collect pieces of broken
glass, straws, bones and pits. To remove
items in glass trap, grasp handle, lift out, empty and replace.
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For
cleaning instructions see "Removing Spots
and Film" section.
Overfill ProtectorJkeeps dishwasher from overfilling and is located in the left front corner
of the tub.
Clean occasionally with household cleaner containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup.
Overfill Protector should move up and
down freely about one
inch. If it does not move, lift and clean
underneath.

Care of Drain Air Gap
If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air
gap is usually mounted on countertop and can
be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by
warranty.
Property Damage Hazard
Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within dishwasher are protected.
Failure to do so could result in property damage.
Winterizing
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should
be protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the following:
To Disconnect Service:
1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher
at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker.
2. Shut off water supply.
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from inlet valve and
drain into pan.
4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain
water into pan.
Note: See Installation Instructions for more
details.
To Restore Service:
1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply.
2. Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3. Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a NORMAL cycle.
4. Check connections to make sure they do
not leak.
Note: See Installation Instructions for more
details.

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
(continued)
Dishware Stained or Discolored
Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of
warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the
water supply line will correct this problem.
(See Removing Spots and Film.)
Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items.
Load properly.
Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics
if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse/Hold cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing
stainless steel and silver.
Etching
Using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that cannot
be removed.
Adjust the amount of detergent based on
the water hardness. (Check Detergent
Chart.)
Lower the water temperature.
Use the Heat Dry Off option.
Dishwasher Leaks
Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.
Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See
Installation Instructions.)
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor sounds.
There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the
lower and middle spray arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own sound.
It is normal for dishwasher to pause (no sound) when the wash action is switching between the lower and middle spray arms.
Water in Bottom of Tub
Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in
the bottom of the tub, dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher
Does Not Drain Properly.)
Vapor at Vent
Water vapor escapes from the vent during the washing and/or drying part of cycle.
This is normal.
Detergent Left in Cups
Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
Check to see if cycle has been completed.
Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
Dishwasher Won't Run
Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.
Make sure water supply is turned on.
Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions.)
Is dishwasher set for delay start option?
Make sure door is closed and latched.
