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

This Manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use

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

All rights reserved.
Do not wash 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.
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.
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.

InformationRead
Before Operating Your
Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashersIT'S QUIETER.
The new Precision Wash System 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 mayor may nothear 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!
Getting Started
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and
Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser
& Detergents).
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Close door to latch.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart).
The indicator light above the pad will glow
when selected.
6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy
Options). The indicator light above the pad
will glow when selected.
7. If using DELAY START, go to step number 9.
8. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher
until water is hot. Turn water off.
9. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
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.
Wash Cycle Selections
Note: 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 timer will be delayed
for automatic water heating in the main wash
of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP
WASH option has not been selected. When
HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher
temperature will be guaranteed to handle
heavier soil loads.

Options Selections
Hi-Temp Wash
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C). This increase in
water temperature helps dishwasher detergent
remove food grease and soil from dishes more
effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH
option can be used with all cycles.
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the
light above the pad will come on and remain
on until end of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP
WASH option, press the pad a second time.
The light above the pad will turn off.
Hi-Temp Rinse
A HI-TEMP RINSE of approximately 145°F
(63°C) will automatically be provided in the
final rinse if HI-TEMP WASH option has been
selected. This higher temperature helps speed
drying and reduce spotting.
No Heat Dry
NO HEAT DRY option saves electricity since
the heating element is off during drying
portion of cycle. When selected, the light
above the pad will come on and remain on
until end of cycle. To speed the 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.
To select heated dry, press the pad a second

Heated dry provides faster drying since the
heating element is on during the drying
portion of the cycle. With either option, a fan
circulates the air inside the dishwasher to
speed drying.
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.
Opening the door longer than one minute
during the dry cycle cancels the selected dry
program.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to delay
starting your dishwasher for 4 hours. Press the
DELAY START pad and the light above the pad
will come on and remain on until cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin
the cycle before the delay period is over, press
the START/CANCEL pad.
