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.

,, 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.

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.

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.

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.
