IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■ Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

■ Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

■ Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in

a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

■ When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

■ Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked

“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

■ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after

use.

■ Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

are properly in place.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks

of the dishwasher.

■ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in

or on the dishwasher.

■ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in

a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Dishwasher Safety

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

■

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher 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 on the dishwasher.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

WARNING

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

What’s New in Your Dishwasher

Energy

Congratulations on purchasing your water and energy efficient dishwasher! This dishwasher cleans by spraying the dishes with water and pauses to allow the detergent to soak into and release the soils on the dishes. The cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Several models contain an optical water sensor. The optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum water and energy consumption for great cleaning performance. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. The first cycle using the sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.

Performance

Rinse Aid

Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance. This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard water deposits. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water “sheeting” action of rinse aid for total optimal performance.

Detergent

The United States and Canada have passed a restriction limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in the household dishwasher detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous detergents contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in detergents as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With these recent changes it is recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and improved performance.

Filtration System

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal cleaning performance. Maintenance of your filters regularly will sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both your upper and lower filter and rinse under running water at least once a month.

Quick Steps

Prepare and load

dishwasher.

Spin the spray arms. They should turn freely.

Add detergent and rinse aid.

Start dishwasher.

For models with controls on top of the door, select wash cycle, option and press START/ RESUME before closing the door. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. For models with front controls, select the wash cycle, options and press START/ RESUME or press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle.

Unload and clean

the filter.

See “Recommended Time Interval to Clean Your Filter,” in the “Filtration System” section for the recommended cleaning schedule.

Select a cycle and option (cycles and options vary

by model).

STEP 1

Prepare and Load the Dishwasher

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other

hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

10 Place load pattern (when silverware basket is in lower rack)

Upper rack Lower rack

12 Place load pattern (when silverware basket is in lower rack)

■ Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from

spinning freely. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

■ Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items

are blocking the detergent dispenser.

■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and

inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and drying results.

■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.

Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”

■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load

dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp

items pointing down. Mix other items pointing up and some pointing down.

Upper rack Lower rack

STEP 2

Add Detergent

NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse

cycle. Do not use detergent.

■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid

or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.

■ Fresh automatic

dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.

■ For optimum

performance, tablet detergent is recommended.

■ The amount of detergent to use depends on:

How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads require more detergent.

The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) [typical water softener water and some city water]

Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water]

■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section

of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the level shown, if needed.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent.

Add Rinse Aid

■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying

performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.

■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can

dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.

■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the

dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.

■ Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator

drops to “Refill” level.

■ To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser

cap to “Open” and lift off. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level is at “Full.” Replace the dispenser cap and turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap is fully locked.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the

max

fill

factory setting will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

STEP 3

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)

Press the Select Cycles button until the light below the desired cycle is on.

NOTE: Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some cycles and options will take up to 3¹⁄₂ hours to complete.

Heavy – Use for heavily

soiled, hard-to-clean items.

Normal - This cycle with only the Heated Dry option selected, and without other options selected, is recommended to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. The energy usage label is based on this cycle and option combination.

ECO – Use for lightly soiled items. It saves energy. 1-HR Wash – Use for lightly soiled items. For fast results, 1-Hr

Wash will clean the dishes using slightly more water and energy.

Overnight cycle – Use for loads with heavy amounts of food soil.

It is a longer cycle and therefore is ideal to run overnight.

Rinse Only – (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent.

This is only a rinse that keeps food from drying on your dishes and reduces odor buildup in your dishwasher until you are ready to wash a full load.

Select Options (options vary by model)

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. Repeatedly press the button until

the desired combination of options is selected.

High Temp – (can be selected with

Heavy and Normal wash cycles) heats the water during the wash portions of the cycle.

Sani Rinse – (can be selected with Heavy and Normal wash

cycles) Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C). Sani Rinse option adds heat and time to the cycle. This high temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF International NSF/ ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a NSF/ANSI 184 certified dishwasher meet the NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and sanitization efficacy.

Heat Dry – (can be selected with 1-HR Wash, Heavy and Normal

wash cycles) When selected with the 1-Hr Wash cycle, the time is increased by approximately 30 minutes.

4-HR Delay – (any cycle) offers the choice to start the dishwasher

automatically at a later time. Select a wash cycle and options. Press 4-HR Delay. Press START/RESUME. Close the door firmly.

Lock – (on 4-HR Delay button) use to avoid unintended use of your

dishwasher. When Control Lock is lit, all buttons are disabled. The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls are locked.

To turn on Lock:

Press and hold 4-HR Delay for at least 3 seconds. The Locked light glows. If you press any pad while your dishwasher is locked, the light flashes 3 times.

To turn off Lock:

Press and hold 4-HR Delay for at least 3 seconds. The Control Lock light turns off.

STEP 4

Start or Resume a Cycle

■ Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the

water is hot. Turn off water.

■ Push door firmly closed. The door latches

automatically. Select the wash cycle and options desired OR press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle. For top controls, select cycle and options first, and then close the door.

■ You can add an item anytime before the main

wash starts. Open the door slowly and add the item. Close the door firmly. Press START/ RESUME.

■ The Clean indicator glows when the cycle is

finished. Sanitized glows when Sani Rinse option is selected and sanitization levels occur.
