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.

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. Mix some of the items
by having some pointing up and others

pointing down.

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.

• 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.

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.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the

factory setting of 2 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.

best wash performance. Ifthe 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

Cleaning the Dishwasher
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and

mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a
stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent

on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is

an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe

measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry

option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

Ifyou have a drain air gap,

check and clean it if the _(

well.

Untreated wood can warp, crack, or lose its finish.

Storing the Dishwasher
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months,

turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the
winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing

temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second
home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your

dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
