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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Operating Your Dishwasher!

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).

Normal Operating Sounds

This dishwasher does not sound like most dishwashers--IT'S QUIETER!

Your 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 upper arm sprays water. Ifyou 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!

4. Select desired cycle (See Cycle Chart). The indicator will show red when selected.

5. Turn dial clockwise to select cycle.

6. Select desired energy OPTIONS (See Energy Options). The indicator will show

red when selected.

7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot.Turn water off.

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 RINSE/

The HEAT DRY ON option will provide faster

drying since the heating element is on during

the drying portion of cycle.

the heating element is off during the drying

portion 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 or rack.

during the cycle and affects only the drying period.
