Products with a u£_)Habdhave been Histedwith Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc. - those with a CSA tag have

been Histedwith Canadian Standards Association. NevertheHess,as with any other equipment using dectricity

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. Useonly 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.

1O.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. Thiswill 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.

Hot Water

For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary° The incoming water temperature

shouJd he 120" F (49 ° C) to properJy activate the detergent and meJt greasy food soiJso

To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the

hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and Jet it run into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in

the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising.

Add recommended amount of detergent to either side of the Main Wash compartment as shown and close

the detergent lid.

Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an

automatic dishwasher. Be sure it is fresh. Store granular detergent in a cool, dry place (not under the

sink).

Recommended Amount

Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water filming/spotting and poor drying. Too much detergent

can cause permanent etching!cJoudines& The amount of detergent to use is determined by the

hardness of the water and soil level of the load. Refer

to the f@Jowing chart for detergent usage

recommendations.

Light Soil 5 teaspoons

Soft (0-4 gpg} Normal Soil 6 teaspoons

Heavy Soil 8 teaspoons

Light Soil 7 teaspoons

Medium (5-9 gpg} Normal Soil 8 teaspoons

Heavy Soil 10 teaspoons

Light Soil 9 teaspoons

Hard (10-12 gpg) Normal Soil 10 teaspoons

Heavy Soil 12 teaspoons

*Ybur local water utility or state university extension service can tell you the degree of water hardness in your area,

UnextremeJy hard water conditions (13 grains per gallon or more*), it is difficuJt to achieve good resuJts with any dishwasher. A mechanicaJ water softener may be necessary to improve water

quality, detergent effectiveness, and protect the dishwasher parts from the damage that hard

water can cause°

Do not use detergent with the Rinse OnJy cycle. Leave the detergent lid open when running Rinse Only.

Rinse Aid

Regular use of a rinse aid improves drying, reduces spotting and filming, and reduces

moisture melt on the dishwasher interior. An automatic rinse aid dispenser is located next to the

detergent cup.

The window next to the dispenser cap indicates when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be refilled. When the

level of rinse aid is below the indicator marks and the

window is nearly dear, it is time to refill the dispenser.

Check the dispenser monthJy.

To add rinse aid to the

dispenser: turn the cap counterclockwise to open.

Remove the cap and pour i liquid rinse aid into the

opening. The amount of rinse aid dispensed during

the cycle is adjustable by moving the lever inside the

reservoir area. For most water conditions use the manufacturer recommended setting of "2". Adjust it up to

the "MAX" setting for hard water. Set the lever anywhere

between these amounts as needed to get the best results. Replace the cap and turn it clockwise to close.

General Recommendations

. The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.

Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub

to see if any large particles remain. Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any

food soil splashes which occurred during loading. When cleaning the stainless steel exterior, always

wipe with the grain. Never use products containing cHorine bleach or citric acid.

The color from some tomato-based food soils may

occasionally adhere to various components of the dishwasher interior, causing temporary discoloration.

To minimize this:

Remove excess tomato-based food soils from

dishes before loading.

Run the Heavy Wash cycle when washing loads

containing tomato-based food soils.

. Be sure to use a dishwasher detergent that

contains chlorine to better fight staining.
