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

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.

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.

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.

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 keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

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

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 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.

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.")

6. Press START/RESUME. NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is

interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not resume until the door is closed, and Start/Resume is pressed.

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.

Close the door and press START/RESUME to continue the cycle.

Press CANCEL/DRAIN. A 2-minute drain starts.

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. Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See

recommended loading patterns shown.) NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

10place setting

12place setting

• 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 and water spots.

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

• Load lightweight 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.

Light item clips

The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing.

12place setting

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. 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.

Utensil lead

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.

To move a clip

1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2. Reposition the clip on another tine.

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Many items, up to 13" (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack.

(See recommended loading patterns shown.) NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

10 place setting

Mixedload

• 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.

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

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

To open the silverware basket

Unlock the latch.

If your silverware basket does not have covers, or when covers are up, 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 items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.

To remove the basket from the door

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.

Use suggested loading patterns as shown to increase the washability of your silverware, if your silverware basket has

these covers.

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 two sections. The smaller Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close

Filling the dispenser

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

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

• 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.

1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by moving the cover latch to the right.

2. Add the correct amount of detergent to the Main Wash section of the dispenser according to the chart below. If you are using a tablet detergent, it must be placed in the Main Wash section. (See "How much detergent to use.")

3. Add the correct amount of detergent to the Pre-Wash section of the dispenser, if needed, according to the chart below.

4. Close the dispenser cover.

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

NOTE: See the "Cycle Selection Charts" for which section to fill depending on the cycle selected..

How much detergent to use

• The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your dishes, hardness of your water, and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes will not 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.

To adjust the setting

1. Remove the dispenser knob.

2. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

3. Replace the dispenser knob.

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.

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.

5. Place the knob back into the opening and turn to the "Lock" position.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will

give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a higher setting.

Lock

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

Additional efficiency tips

• To save water and 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, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.
