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 is the safety alert symbol. 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 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. [] 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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" 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.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

You can draw water from the faucet while the dishwasher is connected.

NOTE: Do not draw water while the dishwasher is filling or while water is being pumped out. (This helps avoid a low fill when dishwasher is filling or mixing drain water with fresh water when dishwasher is draining.)

Press the red button on the hose connector to draw water from the faucet. (The faucet is set on hot. Adjust the faucet for the

water temperature you want.) NOTE: Turn the hot water back on after you draw water from the

faucet. Turn off the cold water.

DISHWASHERLOADING

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. To avoid damage to the dishwasher, do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.

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 another.

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

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

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

Do not cover third level wash (on some models). See arrow.

Cup and g_ssload

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.

Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.

Mixedload

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 prongs 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 prongs. 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 and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.

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

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

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

• Wedge lightweight items against one another or overlap them with heavier dishes.

• Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe."

• 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.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack 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 onto the silverware.

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

items.

Fillingthe 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. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed. (See "Cycle Selection Charts.")

4. Close the dispenser cover.

The cover will open during the cycle to dispense the detergent.

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.

Where to fill

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

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.

A B C D

)

A. Cover B. Main Wash section C. Cover latch D. Pre-Wash section

The larger 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 a cycle.

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

NOTE: Do not use detergent if you have selected a rinse cycle.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.

IMPORTANT: See "Cycle Selection Charts" for which detergent dispenser sections to use with each cycle.

Rinse aids keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small

amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type

rinse aid.

Checking the dispenser

Check the center of the fill indicator cap. Clear means it needs filling.

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.

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 3 months. You do not

have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be sure 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. Ifyour 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.

Additional efficiency tips

• 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, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.

Press the desired cycle. Turn the cycle control knob to the desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start and stop as the cycle control knob passes each cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. Ifyou prefer, you can set the cycle control knob with the door unlatched.

To use Rinse Only, press HEAVY or NORMAL and turn the cycle control knob to Rinse Only.

A "Q" shows what steps are in each cycle. Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters. These models meet the ENERGY STAR®guidelines for energy

efficiency. Cycle time includes dry time.
