This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

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

[] Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. [] Do not tamper with controls.
[] 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 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.

GROUNDING 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.

Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other

hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before

washing.

Upper rack 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 and avoid "nesting" as

shown.

Add Detergent

NOTE: Ifyou 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.

B. Main Wash section

C. Pre- Wash section

• 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.

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 "Add" level.

To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap
to "Refill" 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.

IMPORTANT:

• The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the
best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will

automatically compensate by adding time, heat and water as needed.

• The very first wash cycle after installation in your home will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses. This cycle must not be
interrupted for proper sensor adjustment. If this adjustment cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean light comes on at the end

of the cycle, the next wash cycle will repeat this sensor adjustment.
