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.

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
immediately after the end of cycle.

• Water vapor from the vent may be hot to

the touch when the SANITIZE option has

been selected. Use care and do not let
small children play around or touch the vent

area of the dishwasher.
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.

dishwashersilT'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!

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 CHINA and RINSE HOLD.

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

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 °) and will

maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This
option is available in Pots & Pans, Normal, Light

and Glasses 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

(4g°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
(4g°c).

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 drying portion of cycle.

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.
