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.

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 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.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you
may be surprised at what you DON'T
hear!
Appearance may vary from your model.

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 OFR
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE ON option. The water
temperature in the final rinse will be raised to
155°F (68°C) and will maintain that temperature
for 9 minutes. This option is available in Pots &
Pans, Heavy, Normal and Light cycles. The
cycle time will be extended until the proper
water temperature is reached. Washing action
will continue during the water heating delay. For
best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure, or if
the incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
Heat Dry Option
HEAT DRY ON/POWER DRY ON option provides faster drying since the heating element is on during the drying portion of cycle.
HEAT DRY OFF/POWER 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 drying portion of cycle. The vent is closed during washing to hold
moisture and sound inside and then opens for drying.
On models with POWER DRY, a fan circulates air inside the dishwasher to speed drying.
The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying
period.

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.
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.
Do not cover funnel
Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
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.
Grabber (available select models) The Grabber offers the ultimate in flexibility.
When closed, load with saucers or small
dishes. Open halfway and it is perfect for small casseroles. Open completely for those hard to
fit items such as coffee pots, food processors,
etc. As you load your dishwasher, you will find many other ways to use this unique feature.
\

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 permanent etching on glassware. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.
More detergent may be needed if the phosphorus content is 8.7% or less.
The phosphorus content is shown on the detergent label.
Detergent Chart
Water Hardness
Soft (0-3 grains)
Medium (4-8 grains)
Hard (9+ grains*)
* 12 grains and higher is extremely hard water.
Detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance.

Dishwasher Detergents (continued)
Factors Affecting Performance
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.
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.
Outside--Occasionally 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. Inside---The 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.
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.
Overfill Protector--keeps 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.
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
Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This
list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or
material in your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes
Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
Check rack loading section for proper loading--avoid nesting items.
Home water pressure may be too low-- should be 20 to 120 pounds per square
inch (psi). Check incoming water temperature. It
should be at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance.)
Select HI-TEMP WASH option. Check water hardness. For extremely hard
water, it may be necessary to install a water
softener. (See Detergent Chart.) Use fresh detergent. Check to make sure funnel in top rack is not
blocked. Make sure items are not blocking the spray
arms, preventing them from rotating. Check to see if the rinse aid dispenser
needs refilling.
Dishes not Dry
Select heat dry option.
Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
Increase the amount of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid.)
Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120°F (49°C).
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy
Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.)
Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See
Factors Affecting Performance.)
Avoid overloading and improper loading.
(See Preparing and Loading Dishes.)
Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is
ineffective. Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. Also, check phosphate level. (See
Detergent Dispenser.)
Home water pressure may be too low--it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square
inch (psi).
Dishware Chipped
Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes.)
Place delicate items in top rack.
Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
Load items so they are secure and don't jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
Make sure tall glasses and stemware will
clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.
Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-washed.
Check for proper loading--avoid nesting
items.
Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
Cups with a concave bottom will collect water.
12
Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
(continued)
Dishware Stained or Discolored Dishwasher Leaks
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 insoft or softened water causes thisfilm 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.
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 SoundsYou 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 when the dishwasher goes into the 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.
13
Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
(continued)
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste
disposer inlet.
Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
Is cycle in a water heating delay?
Has the delay start option been selected?
Has the sanitize optionbeen selected?
Dishwasher Won't Fill
Is water supply turned on?
Check your home circuit breaker or fuse box.
Check inlet hose for a kink.
Does overfill protector move up and down freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)
Dishwasher Has an Odor
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Rinse dishes if not
running dishwasher at once.
There will be a "new" smell when first installed. This is normal.
Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
Stains on Tub Interior
Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect
performance and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing will reduce the chance of staining. Using HEAT DRY OFF/POWER
DRY OFF option will lessen staining.
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and
glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and film, clean using the following
instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the HEAVY WASH cycle. Close and latch door.
,
Allow dishwasher to run for 25 minutes to
reach the main wash portion of cycle.
5.
Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to
finish.
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.
To customize your dishwasher to match your cabinets:
You will need a trim kit.
