DISHWASHERSAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

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

safety messages.

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

This is the safety alert symbol. "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 instructions.

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

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. Ifthe 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.

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 conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro- priate 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.

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.

Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing" in the "Dishwasher Care" section for winter storage

information. Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the

weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use. Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such

as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See Installation Instructions for complete information.

START-UPGUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.

2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher Loading.") Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.

1. Open the door slightly.

2. Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all the way, if needed.

3. Close the door to continue the cycle.

1. Turn the Cycle Control knob slowly clockwise until you hear water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely.

2. Open the door.

3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to OFR

3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

o._, -

4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water.

Select the desired cycle and options. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

The dishwasher starts filling when you press a cycle. You can select options as the machine is filling.

DISHWASHERLOADING

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a

chopping device which will reduce the size of food items. NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells

enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal

when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.

Damage can occur.

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

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all

surfaces.

• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach,

and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.

• Load dishes so they do not touch one anothe_

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

cup and glassload

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded

with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

Mixed load

Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place.

Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing inward to the spray.

Overlap the edges of plates for large loads. Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety

of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

Mixed load

• Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.

• Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses. Damage can occur.

• Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage.

• China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

• Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.

• Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

• Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

Utensil load

Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and

silverware basket.

• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

• Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

• Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet

opening.

NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.

Fold-down tines (on some models)

You can fold down one row of tines at the back of the bottom rack.

1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.

2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.

3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

To open the silverware basket

Unlock the latch.

NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.

• Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items.

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

The silverware basket can also be placed inside the bottom rack.

To remove the basket from the door

1. Grasp the silverware basket by the handle. Slide it toward the

top of the door.

2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the basket in the door

1. Set the silverware basket on the holding buttons.

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

into place.

NOTES:

• Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

• Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

DISHWASHERUSE

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

1 2 3 4

1. Cover

2. Main Wash section

3. Cover latch

4. Pre-Wash section

The Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Charts.")

• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the Cover latch.

2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How much detergent to use."

3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed.

NOTE: If you select the Normal cycle by turning the Cycle Control knob before filling the dispenser, the detergent dispenser cover will not stay latched. This is normal and will not affect washing performance.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with 1wash. See the "Cycle Selection

Charts" for more details.

How much detergent to use

• 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.

• Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

• Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

Checking the dispenser Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs

filling.

Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. If an "E" is visible, the dispenser is empty.

Filling the dispenser The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under

normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Tryto keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.

2. Remove the Fill Indicator cap.

3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out,

and could cause oversudsing.

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

5. Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the

faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.

To check water temperature

1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute.

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup.

3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

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

Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible. These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal cycle.

Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.

Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full.

If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash performance.

_ / /"/ _ ¢_t _ *

Select the wash cycle and options desired. The dishwasher starts filling once you press a cycle, unless you select a delay wash. You can select an option as the machine is filling.

ARer a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.

A "O" shows what steps are in each cycle. Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters. Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time

indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot
