IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

For your Safety

•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.

•NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

•DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. This appliance must be connected to a ground metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on this appliance. Read the Installation Instructions for details.

•This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular house current (120V, 60Hz). Use a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if

dishwasher is connected with a food disposer.

•Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place.

•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.

•To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

•Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.

•Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children.

•If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.

•Do not wash plastic items unless marked: “Dishwasher Safe” or equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked. Items that are not marked dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

• 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 cuttype injuries.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•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.

•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.

•Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

•Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

•To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

NOTE

The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle so you do not have to reset each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL pad.

NOTE

Not all cycles and options available on all models.

NOTE

Very Important Information - Read Before Operating Your Dishwasher! Normal Operating Sounds

This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers - IT’S QUIETER.

Your Direct Feed 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 nothear the drain motor. The next sound

you will hear is the splashing water as it enters the tub.

PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this dishwasher to previous models, you may be surprised at what you DON’T hear.

NOTE

Why Energy Efficient Units run long cycles: Several factors are important to washing dishware. The energy use of the dishwasher was reduced by applying more of the factors that don’t use so much energy and less of the ones that use more. As a result, you will see that the wash cycles take longer.

FEATURES AT A GLANCE

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher drains for a few seconds to remove soils dropped while loading, then fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fills varies with the cycle being used.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE

Your dishwasher uses a DishSenseTM Technology to understand how much food is on the dishes and then adjusts the cycle accordingly.

CAUTION

Property Damage Hazard

Before starting dishwasher be sure that the water is connected and turned on. Failure to do so may cause damage to the pump seal and result in water leakage.

Wash Cycle Selections

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the cycle will be lengthened for automatic water heating in the main wash and final rinse of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not be selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be reached to handle heavier soil loads.

Recommended Cycle for typical use:

The Normal cycle with its factory default options of normal temperature and heated dry together provide the best all around performance. This cycle selection is recommended for everyday use and is suitable for a large range of both dish load sizes and food quantities remaining on those dishes.

Option Selections

Wash Pressure

The programmed cycles default to the “surge” pressure option which varies the pressure optimally for the cycle’s intended normal use. If, for some special circumstance, either a very low “spray” or very high “scour” pressure is

desired that may be selected. Due to wash cycle optimization, some pressure options are not selectable in all wash cycle.

Wash Temp

The programmed cycles default to the “normal” temperature option, to choose HI-TEMP or SANITIZE press WASH TEMP pad again.

Hi-Temp Wash Option

HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by pressing the WASH TEMP pad, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140oF (60oC).

This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Sanitize Option

To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select SANITIZE option, by pressing WASH TEMP pad. When selected, the light will come on and remain on until end of cycle. The water temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155oF (68oC) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes. This option is available in Heavy and Normal Cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements.

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 120oF (49oC).

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 120oF (49oC).

To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the Wash Temp pad. The SANITIZE light will turn off.

Delay Start

The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1-24 hours.

To activate press the DELAY START pad until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window and press START.

To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad until the status window show cycle duration. Press START/CANCEL again and close the door.

Child Lock Controls

To prevent children from accidently changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the dishwasher controls by pressing the DELAY START pad for 3 seconds and releasing. The status window will display “loc”. To unlock the controls, press the DELAY START pad until “loc” goes out.

Heat Dry

The HEATED DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. HEATED DRY option is available on all cycles.

Air Dry

The AIR DRY option will reduce temperature in the hot rinse of the selected wash cycle. This option will slightly decrease energy usage but will increase the likelihood that dishware will not be dry.

To Cancel a Cycle

To cancel a cycle at anytime, open the door and press the START/CANCEL pad until the 1 min drain feature is initiated. Close the door and the drain cycle will begin. You will hear a tone for the start and completion of the drain cycle. When the door is opened, the last cycle selected will be displayed. If desired, a new cycle can now be selected by pressing START/CANCEL pad and upon closing the door the cycle will begin.

My Favorite Cycle

The MY FAVORITE CYCLE option allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. Once Programmed, simply press the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button followed by the START/ CANCEL pad will select the programmed cycle and options.

To Program the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button:

1.Select your preferred cycle and options

2.Hold the MY FAVORITE CYCLE button for 3 seconds.

The LED over the MY FAVORITE pad turns on indicating the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option has been programmed. To change the MY FAVORITE CYCLE option simply repeat steps one and two above.
