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.

Burned-on foods should be loosened before
loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
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 racks so that large items do not
prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.

Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Top Rack
Important: Do not cover the funnel when
loading.
The upper rack is designed for flexibility in
loading a wide variety of items including cups,
glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting
may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom
of the rack to block rotation of middle spray
arm.
Upper Rack Option
SHORT WASHUPPER RACK option can be
used to wash a wide assortment of items when
you don't have a full load. Also, when the
upper rack fills up with glasses and the lower
rack is still empty, you don't have to wait
anymore for clean glasses.
Do not cover funnel
A fold-down cup shelf on the right side can be
used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses
and other short items. Stagger items on upper
level so that water can reach all inside surfaces.
7
Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Utility Basket
The utility basket has two dividers that can be
opened to hold longer items or closed for
small items like measuring spoons, bottle
stoppers, etc. The covers on each end can be
folded down out of the way or closed to keep
small items inside. The utility basket also
doubles as a silverware basket when using the
SHORT WASHUPPER RACK option.
Loading the Bottom Rack
The lower rack is best for plates, saucers,
bowls and cookware. Large items should be
placed along the edge so they don't block the
spray arm rotation. For best results, place
bowls, casseroles and sauce pans with soiled
surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt
slightly for better drainage.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm
rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block the spray
arm rotation.
8
Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Silverware Basket
Mix spoons, forks and knives to prevent
nesting. Mixing items gives better cleaning and
drying.
Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until
wash action stops before opening.
Add the item and wait a few seconds to
allow cold air to slowly expand inside
dishwasher.
Close door firmly to latch. Press START/
CANCEL pad to resume cycle.
For safety, load sharp knives and forks with
handles up.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of
basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid
damaging the silver finish.
A covered section holds small items like
measuring spoons, small plastic items, etc.
Close cover to keep items in place.
9
Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other types will cause
oversudsing.
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store detergent in a cool, dry location.
Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve
properly.
Fill both cups
for Pots & Pans
and Normal.
Fill covered cup
only for Short
Wash.
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered and
one uncovered cup. Detergent in the
uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when
the door is closed. The covered cup opens
automatically in the main wash.
Fill to second line
when using standard
dishwashing
detergent.
Fill to first line
when using ultra
or concentrated
detergent.
Cover
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on
the water hardness. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Using too little
detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard
water filming or spotting. Using too much
detergent in soft water can cause permanent
etching on glassware. Your local water
company, water softener company or county
extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.
More detergent may be needed if the
phosphorus content is 8.7% or less.
The phosphorus content is shown on the
detergent label.
Detergent Chart
Water Hardness
Soft (0-3 grains)
Medium (4-8 grains)
Hard (9+ grains*)
* 12 grains and higher is extremely hard
water. Detergent alone may not be enough. A
water softener is recommended to improve
water quality and dishwashing performance.

Factors Affecting
& Detergents (continued)
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and
reduces water spots and filming. Water
"sheets" off dishes rather than forming water
droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent
cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If
spotting and poor drying are problems,
increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by
rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial
is located under the dispenser cap. The
indicator will be dark when full and will show
clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4
turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in
rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill
level. Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause
oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.
Performance
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must
provide water pressure between 20 and 120
psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry
or showers are in operation. Wait until water
use is reduced before starting dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give
satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering
dishwasher:
Turn on hot water faucet nearest
dishwasher for several minutes to clear
cool water from pipes.
Hold a candy or meat thermometer in
stream of water to check the temperature.
If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have
a qualified person raise the hot water
heater thermostat setting.

Care and Cleaning
Burn Hazard
Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior.
Failure to do so can result in
burns.
OutsideOccasionally wipe with a mild
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and
dry.
InsideThe inside of the dishwasher is self-
cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean
around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.
The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located
in the center of the filter is designed to collect
pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits.
To remove items in glass trap, grasp handle,
lift out, empty and replace.
Care of Drain Air Gap
If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so
the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air
gap is usually mounted on countertop and
can be inspected by removing the cover. This is
not part of your dishwasher and is not covered
by warranty.
Property Damage Hazard
Freezing temperatures may cause water
lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to
and circulating lines within dishwasher are
protected.
Failure to do so could result in property
damage.
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit
buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For
cleaning instructions see Removing Spots and
Film section.
Overfill Protectorkeeps dishwasher from
overfilling and is located in the left front
corner of the tub.
Clean occasionally with household cleaner
containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any
buildup.
Overfill Protector
should move up and
down freely about
one inch. If it does
not move, lift and
clean underneath.
Winterizing
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should
be protected from freezing. Have a qualified
person do the following:
To Disconnect Service:
1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher
at the supply source by removing fuses or
tripping circuit breaker.
2. Shut off water supply.
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve.
Disconnect water line from inlet valve and
drain into pan.
4. Disconnect drain line from pump and
drain water into pan.
To Restore Service:
1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical
power supply.
2. Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3. Fill both detergent cups and run
dishwasher through a NORMAL cycle.
4. Check connections to make sure they do
not leak.
Note: See Installation Instructions for more
details.

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
Before calling for service, review this list. It
may save you both time and expense. This list
includes common experiences that are not the
result of defective workmanship or material
in your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes
Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
Check rack loading section for proper
loadingavoid nesting items.
Home water pressure may be too lowshould
be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
Check incoming water temperature. It should
be at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting
Performance.)
Check water hardness. For extremely hard
water, it may be necessary to install a water
softener. (See Detergent Chart.)
Use fresh detergent.
Check to make sure funnel in top rack is not
blocked.
Make sure items are not blocking the spray
arms, preventing them from rotating.
Check to see if the rinse aid dispenser needs
refilling.
Dishes not Dry
Select Heat Dry option.
Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
Increase the amount of rinse aid. (See
Rinse Aid.)
Check the incoming water temperature. Be
sure it is at least 120°F (49°C).
Check for proper loadingavoid nesting
items.
Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
Cups with a concave bottom will collect water.
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy
Check water hardness. For extremely hard
water, it may be necessary to install a water
softener. (See Detergent Chart.)
Water temperature may be low. Avoid
extremely low or high temperatures. (See
Factors Affecting Performance.)
Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See
Preparing and Loading Dishes.)
Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is
ineffective.
Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
Check to see that proper amount of detergent
is being used for cycle selected. Also, check
phosphate level. (See Detergent Dispenser.)
Home water pressure may be too lowit
should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch
(psi).
Dishware Chipped
Load with care and do not overload. (See
Preparing and Loading dishes.)
Place delicate items in top rack.
Place glasses securely against pins and not
over pins.
Load items so they are secure and don't jar
loose when moving racks in and out. Move
racks in and out slowly.
Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear
top of tub when rack is pushed in.
Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-
washed.
Dishware Stained or Discolored
Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the
stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup
(120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm
water. Rinse thoroughly.
Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or
brown film. A special filter installed in the
water supply line will correct this problem.
(See Removing Spots and Film.)
Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks
when they rub against other items. Load
properly.
Certain high acid foods can cause
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if
allowed to sit for a long period. Rinse by hand
if not operating dishwasher at once.
Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in
silverware basket can cause pitting of the
stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless
steel and silver.
Etching
Using too much detergent in soft or softened
water causes this film that cannot be removed.
Adjust the amount of detergent based on the
water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)
Lower the water temperature.
Use the No Heat Dry option.
Detergent Left in Cups
Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh
detergent.
Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
Check to see if cycle has been completed.
Make sure items do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.
Vapor at Vent
Water vapor escapes from the vent when the
dishwasher goes into the drying part of cycle.
This is normal.
13
Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems (continued)
Dishwasher Leaks
Use only fresh detergent designed for
automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent
carefully. Try a different brand.
Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See
Installation Instructions.)
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
Normal sounds include water fill, water
circulation and motor sounds.
There is a noticeable change in sound when
the wash action switches between the lower
and middle spray arm. This is normal since
each spray arm has its own sound.
It is normal for dishwasher to pause (no
sound) when the wash action is switching
between the lower and middle spray arms.
Water in Bottom of Tub
Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is
complete is not normal. If water remains in
the bottom of the tub, dishwasher may not be
draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not
Drain Properly.)
Dishwasher Won't Run
Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a
fuse is blown.
Make sure water supply is turned on.
Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See
Operating Instructions.)
Is dishwasher set for delay start option?
Make sure door is closed and latched.
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer,
make sure the disposer is empty.
Check to see if the knockout plug has been
removed from inside the food waste disposer
inlet.
Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
Is cycle in a water heating delay?
Has the delay start option been selected?
Dishwasher Has an Odor
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can
create an odor. Rinse dishes if not running
dishwasher at once.
There will be a "new" smell when first installed.
This is normal.
Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
Status Lights Flashing
When first installed or when power has been
interrupted, HI-TEMP WASH and NO HEAT
DRY status lights will flash. To clear, press the
START/CANCEL pad. If power failure occurs
during a cycle, it will be necessary to restart
the dishwasher by resetting the cycle you
want.
Stains on Tub Interior
Washing large amounts of dishware with
tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange
appearance. This will not affect performance
and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing
will reduce the chance of staining. Using No
Heat Dry option will lessen staining.
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on
the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses
may also get spots and film for a number of
reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or
Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and
film, clean using the following instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the POTS PANS cycle. Close and latch
door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
4. Allow dishwasher to run for 25 minutes to
reach the main wash portion of cycle.
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL
pad and allow cycle to finish.
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water
softener should be considered.
Dishwasher Won't Fill
Is water supply turned on?
Does overfill protector move up and down
freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)
