ishwasher Safety

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

WARNING: When using the •

dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

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 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 EXPLO-

SIVE. 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 to the washing

compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

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.

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 conduc-

tor 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher.

Connect ground wire to green ground connector in terminal box.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or

electrical 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,

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Load the dishwasher. See the "Loading Your Dishwasher" section.

6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the dishwasher until water is hot.

Turn off water,

2. Spin the spray arms. They should turn freely.

3. Add detergent. See the "Using the

Dispensers" section.

4. Add rinse agent, if needed.

5. Close door firmly until it latches.

7. Press a Cycle. If desired, press one or more Options. The dish-

washer starts filling once you

press a Cycle unless you

select the delay wash cycle. You may press Options as the

machine is filling.

The indicator glows when a

cycle or an option is selected.

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle. All you have to do is:

,, Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling

or spraying action to stop before opening the door all the way. Close the door to

continue the cycle.

OR _,Press Cancel/Drain. Once pressed, a

2-minute drain starts.

Loadin Your ishwasher

• To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the

dishwasher.

• Remove large pieces of food, bones, and other hard items. The SCOUR MASTER*

filter module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping

device which reduces the size of food items.

NOTE: {f hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells enter the SCOUR MASTER filter module, you might

hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. Those sounds are normal

when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle

screws) get into the SCOUR MASTER filter module. Damage can occur.

• Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if left to

dry over a period of time. Run a Rinse/ Wash Later cycle to keep dishes moist if

you do not plan to wash them soon.

• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the rotating spray arm.

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or

overlapping. {t is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best washing. For best drying, water must be

able to drain from all surfaces.

Loading for quiet operation

• Secure lightweight load items in the racks.

• Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie

sheets, etc. should not touch interior walls or interfere with the spray arm's rotation.

• Load dishes so they do not touch one

another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted

during dishwasher operation to prevent

noise transfer through drains.

Use the cutlery basket to hold long items.

Always unload or remove the cutlery basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling

water on the cutlery. IMPORTANT: Remove the basket and tip

the contents onto a cutting board to unload. This helps avoid accidents with sharp points

and edges.

To remove the cutlery basket:

1. Grasp the basket on both sides and slide it toward the top of the door.

2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the cutlery basket:

1. Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2. Slide the basket toward the bottom of the door until it locks into place.

,, Load the silverware basket while it is in

the door or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

,, Mix items in each section of the basket

with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items. Load spoons with baked on food pointing up.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing

down.

_,Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,

etc.) in the section with the lid.

,, You can also remove the basket for easy

unloading. Always unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid

spilling water on the silverware.

!i!

To remove the basket:

1. Grab the basket by the handle and slide it toward the top of the door.

2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the basket:

1. Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2. Slide the basket towards the bottom of the door until it locks in place.

To open the basket:

• Unhook the latch as shown.

NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out the bottom rack

and before closing the dishwasher door.

Filling the detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without. Push the

cover down firmly until it latches. Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher

when closing the door. The covered section opens automatically for the main wash. It is

normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with

two washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with one wash. See the cycles

chart for more details.

,, The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of

detergent. If you use too little, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

,, Find out your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water softener

company, or county extension agent.

WATER HARDNESS Soft to Medium Hard Water

0 to 6 grains per gallon

Medium to Hard Water 7 to 12 grains per gallon

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when

using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.

For normal loads: ,, Partially fill the Main Wash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)

• Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams) NOTE: Add only 1 tablespoon or 15 grams of detergent to both

sections if dishes are prerinsed or water is very soft. For baked on soil loads:

• Fill the Main Wash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)

• Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams) For heavily soiled loads:

• Fill the Main Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams)

• Fill the Pre-Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams) For normal and heavily soiled loads:

Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a

liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent greatly

improves dish drying by helping water

flow off during the last rinse. A rinse agent also keeps water from forming

droplets and drying as spots or streaks. A small amount of rinse agent automatically

releases into the rinse water during the final rinse of each cycle. For best drying

results, check dispenser periodically to see if it needs filling.

To check dispenser: ,, Check center of Fill Indicator Cap. Clear

means it needs filling. OR

,, Remove Fill Indicator Cap. An "E" is visible

when dispenser is empty.

To fill dispenser:

The rinse agent dispenser holds 6 ounces (175 mL). Under normal conditions, this

lasts about 3 months.

1. Open dishwasher door completely.

2. Remove Fill Indicator Cap.

3. Add rinse agent. Fill to smallest opening in lower part of dispenser only. Overfilling

may cause rinse agent to leak out. This

will not harm the dishwasher, but could

cause oversudsing.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.

5. Replace Fill Indicator Cap. Keep it closed tightly.

NOTE: You do not have to wait until the

dispenser is empty before refilling, but do not overfill it. Your dishwasher is designed

to use a liquid rinse agent. You do not need to use a solid or bar-type rinse agent.

Caring for Your

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp

cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your

dishwasher nice looking and clean.

Hard water minerals may cause a white film

to build up on the inside surfaces, especially

just beneath the door area.

To clean interior:

,, Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a

damp sponge to make a paste. OR

,, Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent

and clean with damp sponge.

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it

has cooled. Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of

cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it can cause foaming or sudsing.

NOTE: See "Removing spots and film" in

the "Solving Common Dishwashing Prob- lems" section to clean your dishwasher with

white vinegar. Remember, this procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar

is an acid. Excessive use can damage your dishwasher.

shwasher

The overfill protector (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the

dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
