What You Need to Know About
Safety Instructions

Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this
manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. Common sense, caution and care
must be exercised when installing, maintaining or operating
the dishwasher.

Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent or
manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not
understand.

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels

Products with a label have been listed with
Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. – those with a CSA tag have
been listed with Canadian Standards Association.
Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using electricity
and moving parts, there is a potential hazard.

1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
attempting to service.

4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back
must be enclosed and the front panels must be attached
before electrical power is applied to the dishwasher.
Refer to the installation instructions for proper
grounding procedures.

5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power
supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or play
in, with, or around this dishwasher.

7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be
washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with
the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not
likely to damage the door seal.

8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of the
tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It will be hot.

9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for a
residential automatic dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry
detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher.
Keep these products out of reach of children.

10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of
the dishwasher.

11. 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, 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 process.

12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

13. Do not tamper with controls.

14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation
risks, always remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.

15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will
be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.

16. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments.

Save These Instructions

for Future Reference

Check with the installer to make sure the
appliance has been properly grounded to avoid
possible electrical shock. Be sure you read the
important personal safety instructions before
you use this dishwasher.

• Remove certain foods such as mustard,
mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings

from stainless steel flatware as soon as

General Recommendations

(Rack features vary by model)

• Items can be centered behind a single tine or loaded
at an angle to maximize space.

• Avoid blocking or preventing the spray arms from
spinning freely. Do not allow items to extend beyond
the racks.

• Face soiled surfaces toward the center of the
dishwasher.

For best dishwashing results follow guidelines on
following pages to determine the best arrangement for
your items.

OPERATING TIPS

LOADING

4

10 Place Setting Load

Upper Rack

Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, plates,
bowls, pans, long-handled utensils etc. can be loaded
in this rack. Do not load

glasses over the tines.

The Stack-Rack (select
models) on the right side
of the upper rack folds
up or down for loading
flexibility. Fold it down to
hold long-handled knives, spatulas and spoons or
short items like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for
taller items like glasses, bowls, plates, etc.

The edge of the Stack-
Rack (select models) is
designed to hold
stemware in place. Taller
stemware will fit better on
the right side as the
upper rack is deeper on
this side.

The Folding Tines (select
models) located in the
front right corner provide
convenient loading space
for large, bulky items like
pots and pans or mixing
bowls.

To lower tines, carefully push the tines out of each
holder toward the center of the rack and lay the tines
down.

The Cup Clips (select
models) located in the
center of the upper rack
can be used to hold light­weight plastic items,
cooking utensils, knives,
etc. in place. Clip the item
between the tine and the clip.

The Vari-Lock

™

Snugger

(select models) on the left
secures lightweight items
in place. It can be
adjusted by grasping the
wavy wire and rotating it
left to snug items against
the outer rack or to the
right to rest on top of light items. Do not load items

on top of the wire.

For best results with tall
glasses, rest the bottom of
the glass against the wavy
wire of the Vari-Lock

™

Snugger (select models).

models) flat in the back,
left corner provides
convenient loading space
for large, bulky items like
pots and pans or mixing
bowls.

Convertible Tines (select
models) in the back, right
corner can be adjusted to
provide narrow spacing for
loading plates or wide spacing
for loading deep bowls, pots or
pans. Flip tines up for narrow
spacing or down for wider
spacing.

Utensil Baskets

Removable Standard Utensil
Basket (select models)

For best cleaning results, prevent
items from nesting together by
placing some items in the basket
with handles up and some with
handles down. Load knives,
handles up and spoons and forks
handles down, through the slots in
the hinged covered section(s) (when closed).

Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend
through the basket. This could block the lower wash
arm.

Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic
measuring spoons should be placed in the section(s)
with the hinged cover(s).

Split & Fit™Utensil Basket
(select models)

The split silverware basket can
be separated and placed in
several locations in the bottom
rack. Load flatware and utensils
into both sections or just one,
depending on your load.

To split the
basket, hold
the basket
firmly along
the sides.
Unlock
baskets as
shown here.

Auxiliary Basket

(select models)

Use this supplemental
basket in the upper rack
for loading miscellaneous
items and utensils. This is
also a safe place to load
sharp knives and pointed items.
