IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
For your safety, please follow the information in this manual to minimize the risk of re,
explosion, electric shock, and to help prevent property damage or personal injury.
Proper Installation
Please read the Installation Instructions
carefully and follow all instructions when
installing the dishwasher.
• 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.
• Water supply inlet temperature should
be between 120°F (48.9°C) and 135°F
(57.2°C).
• Dispose of the discarded appliance and
packing material properly.
• The dishwasher must be properly
grounded, or it can result in a risk
of electric shock. See Installation
Instructions for details.
• If there is any damage to the dishwasher,
please contact to your Dealer, do not
attempt to repair or replace any part by
yourself.
Basic Precautions Before Use
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• The manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur.
Use the dishwasher only for intended
function as described in this manual.
When loading items to be washed:
• Load sharp items and knives so that they
are not likely to damage the door seal
and tub.
• Load sharp items and knives with the
handles up to reduce the risk of injury.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked dishwasher safe. If not
marked, check with manufacture for
recommendation. Items that are not
dishwasher safe may melt and create a
potential re hazard.
• If the dishwasher drains in to a food
disposer, make sure disposer is completely
empty before running dishwasher.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not touch the heating element during
or immediately after use, especially if the
sanitize option has been selected.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on a dishwasher.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, or stand on
door or racks of 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 dishwasher,
turn on all hot water faucets
and let water ow from each for
several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is ammable. Do not
smoke or use an open ame during
this time.
• Do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other ammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher
and keep them out of the reach of
children.
• Keep young children and infants away
from dishwasher when it is operating.
• Do not use the dishwasher if it has
a damaged power line or plug, and
do not plug the dishwasher into a
damaged outlet. Failure to observe these
instructions may result in electrical shock.
• Remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock or
injury when using your dishwasher, follow all

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wash Cycles Wash Options Functions Cycle Indicator
Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with
the options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate the detergent and melt fatty
food soils. An automatic sensor will check the
incoming water temperature. If it is not at the
appropriate temperature the timer will delay
the cycle to allow automatic water heating
during the main wash. When the High Temp
wash is selected an even higher temperature
will be assured to handle heavier soil loads.
Wash Cycles
Heavy Wash
Recommended for pots, pans, casseroles and
dinnerware having light to heavily soiled loads.
Normal Wash
Recommended for lightly to heavily soiled
loads.
1 Hour Wash
A shorter wash recommended for lightly soiled
loads that do not need drying.
China Crystal
Recommended for lightly soiled China and
Crystal.
Energy Saver
Recommended for lightly soiled and pre-rinsed
dishes and silverware.
Rinse Only
Recommended for pre-rinsing dishes or
glasses. This is only a rinse that keeps food
from drying on your dishes and reduces odor
buildup in your dishwasher until you are ready
to wash a full load. Do not use detergent.

options. The indicator light will illuminate when
the option has been selected.
