Energy-Saving tips
● Operate dishwasher only when
it’s full. Let the dishes accumulate
in dishwasher. When you put in
only a partial load, use the RINSE
& HOLD cycle to rinse off heavy
soils. Be sure to latch the door
when waiting for a full load.
This helps keep soils moist, easier
to remove.
● If you don’t need your dishes
right away, use your energy saver
NO HEAT DRYING that turns
the drying heater off automatically.
Dishes dry naturally over a longer
period such as overnight.
● Always select the cycle that
uses least amount of water that
will remove the soil from the
load. (See the Operating section).
To obtain service, see the
Consumer Services page in the
back of this book.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance
A
WARNING–When
using this appliance,
exercise basic safety
precautions, including the
following:
.
Use
this appliance only for
~ways
its
intended purpose, as you will
find described in this Use and
Care Guide.
●
This dishwasher must be
properly installed and
located in accordance with
the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
If you did
not receive an Installation
Instructions sheet with your
dishwasher, you can obtain one
by contacting the service location
nearest you.
—This appliance must be
connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring
system; or an
equipment-
grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors
and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal
or lead of the appliance.
—Connect to a properly rated,
protected and sized
power-
supply circuit to avoid
electrical overload.
●
Do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
●
Use only powder or liquid
detergents or wetting agents
recommended for use in a
dishwasher.
●
Do not wash plastic items
unless marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For
plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
●
Load light plastic items so they
will not become dislodged and
drop to the bottom of the
dishwasher—they might come
into contact with the heating unit
and be damaged.
To minimize the possibility
of injury.
●
When loading items to be
washed:
A. Locate sharp
items
so
that they are not likely to
damage the door seal, and
B. Load sharp knives with
the handles up to reduce the
risk of cut-type injuries.
●
Do not touch the heating
element during or immediately
after use.
●
Do not operate your dishwasher
unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
●
Do not tamper with controls.
●
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on
the door or dish rack of the
dishwasher.
●
Close supervision is necessary
if this appliance is used by or
near children. Do not allow
children to play inside, on or with
this appliance or any discarded
appliance. Dispose of discarded
appliances and shipping or
packing material properly. Before
discarding a dishwasher, remove
the door of the washing
compartment.
●
Keep all washing detergents
and wetting agents out of the
reach of children, preferably in a
locked cabinet. Observe all
warnings on container labels to
avoid personal injury.
●
To minimize the possibility
of electric shock, disconnect
this appliance from the power
supply before attempting any
maintenance. Note: Turning
the control dial to the OFF
position does not disconnect
the appliance from the power
supply. We recommend having
a qualified technician service
your appliance.
AwkGmmm
GM
is produced by the
chemical action within your
water heater. It can accumulate
in the water heater
andor
water pipes if hot water has
not been used for a period of
two weeks or longer.
HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. To prevent the
possibility of damage or
injury, if you have not used hot
water for two weeks or more,
or moved into a residence in
which the hot water system
may not have been used for
some time, turn on all hot
water faucets and allow them
to run for several minutes
before using any electrical
appliance which is connected
to the hot water system. This
will allow any hydrogen gas to
escape. Also, since the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or
use an open flame or appliance
during this process.

How
to
operate your dishwasher
STEP 1. Load your dishwasher
with dishes, silverware, pots, pans,
bowls, etc.
accordingto
instructions in the Loading section.
STEP 2. Add detergent to the
detergent dispenser. Make sure the
Cycle Indicator
DiaI
is at OFF
position before adding detergent.
(See Detergent Guide.)
Use rinse aid agent to help prevent
spotting. Occasionally check to
insure that rinse agent container is

STEP 3. Select DRYING Option.
HEaTED
DRVING
NO HEAT
~
DRYING
HEATED DRYING. Turns the
drying heater on for fast drying.
NO HEAT DRYING (energy
saving drying). Turns the drying
heater off to save energy. Dishes
will dry naturally over a longer
period such as overnight.
If you need your dishes sooner,
open the dishwasher door after the
cycle is complete to reduce the
natural drying time.
Use of this option reduces the
electrical energy used by this
model approximately
7~0 for the
NORMAL WASH cycle.
STEP 4. Select the Cycle and start
dishwasher.
If your dishwasher drains into a
food waste disposer, operate the
disposer until it is empty before
starting the dishwasher. (See Cycle
selection hints on next page. )
To obtain the benefits of a
complete cycle, be careful that you
do not turn the dial any further
than necessary to start the
dishwasher.
