electrical shock.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your dishwasher, follow

basic precautions including the following:

• Do notwash 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.

Read all instructions before using your

dishwasher.

• Use yourdishwasheronly 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.

• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play

on door or racks of a dishwasher.

• 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.

Dishwasher Features

Your dishwasher, illustrated below, cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water, and detergent against the soiled surfaces of your dishes and tableware. Each cycle starts with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water to a level even with the heating element. This water is constantly pumped through the rotating spray arm and sprayed onto the dishes. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water during a cycle. The number of water fills depends upon the cycle being used.

Dish Preparation

It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces and quantities of food, bones, pits, etc.

Empty glasses and cups. It may be necessary to presoak or lightly scour firmly cooked-on or

baked-on foods.

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 dishes facing the center of the rack so that

the water spray from the rotating spray arm can

reach soiled surfaces.

• Be sure large items do not block the detergent

dispenser, preventing it from opening during the wash cycle.

• To be sure an item is dishwasher safe, read the

manufacturer's care instructions.

• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be

sure disposer is completely empty before

dishwasher is started.

• To save energy, wash full loads.

• For best washing results, load correctly and

avoid overloading.

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 wilt 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 and is not

recommended for use with CHINA. To turn off option, select HI-TEMP WASH OFF.

Heated Dry Option

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

The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will give you excellent drying results. The energy to use HEAT DRY costs pennies per cycle. You may turn off the HEAT DRY option, however

you will have items in your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the cycle.

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.
