SAFETY

What You Need to Know About

Safety instructions

Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this guide 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 manufacturer about problems or

conditions you do not understand.

Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, Labels

important Safety instructions

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 Toreduce 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

expletive. 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. Be 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.

1Z Toavoid water, mold or mildew damage to your home,

inlet and drain hose connections should be checked periodically for leaks.

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.

Hot Water

For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be 120 ° F C49° CD to properly activate the detergent and melt greasy food soils.

To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the

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

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

Detergent

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/cloudiness. The amount of detergent to use is determined by the

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

to the following chart for detergent usage

recommendations.

Light Soil 2 tsp 6 tsp

Soft 1:0=4 gpg} Normal Soil 4 tsp 6 tsp

Heavy Soil 4 tsp 7 tsp

Light Soil 4 tsp 6 tsp

Medium (5=9 gpg) Normal Soil 4 tsp 6 tsp

Heavy Soil 5 tsp 7 tsp

Hard (10=12 gpg) All Levels 5 tsp 8 tsp

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

Jn extremely hard water conditions [13 grains per gallon or more*), it is difficult to achieve good results with any dishwasher. A mechanical water softener may he necessary to improve water

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

water can Cause.

Add recommended amount of detergent to each cup

as shown and close the detergent lid.

Do not use detergent with the Rinse Only 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 left 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 clear, it is time to refill the dispenser.

Check the dispenser monthly.

To add rinse aid to the

dispenser, turn the cap counterclockwise to open.

Remove the cap and pour 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.

Run dishes being held in the dishwasher through a Rinse Only cycle.

Many dishwashers have a "new" smell when first installed.This will dissipate with use. Dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Will Not Drain section.)

For a strong odor, place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select China/Crystal cycle and allow the water to circulate for about 10 minutes. Interrupt

the cycle by unlatching the door and let it stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by

latching the door and allow it to complete the cycle. Another alternative is to use a dishwasher cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleane¢.

• Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation Instructions.)

• Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent carefully and

use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.

• Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 3).

• To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached.

Select Extra Rinse or Hi Temp Wash (select models).

Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C).

Always use a rinse aid.

Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar

for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem isdue to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water hardness (pg. 9). Be sure

detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a high quality brand. If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the surface of

the glassware and can be caused by water that is too hot, from using too much

detergent or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To prevent further

etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and use water heating options only when incoming water

temperature is below 120° F (49° C).

Check water temperature (pg 9).

Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.

Select Super Scrub, Hi Temp Wash, or Steam Clean option (select models).

Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly (pg. 9).

Use fresh detergent stored in a cool dry place.

Select proper cycle for the soil level (pg. 10).

Make sure the upper rack wash arm connector is correctly aligned in one of the

water inlet holes (pg. 8).

Load items so they do not block the wash arms (pg. 3-7). Load the utensil basket with knife handles up and spoon and fork handles

down through the slots in the covers. Do not place glasses over tines.

Prior to loading, scrape off burnt on foods and wipe the starchy film from utensils used with pasta, rice and oatmeal. These soils require more energy

than the rest of the load to clean.

Items washed in the dishwasher or the dishwasher

tub itself are stained/

discolored

Aluminum utensils or pans can leave marks when they rub against other items.

Leave a slight space between items.

Iron deposits in the water can leave a yellow, brown or orange film on dishes orthe dishwasher tub. A rust filter may be needed, check with a water treatment company.

Separate silver or silver-plated silverware from stainless steel. These metals can

be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

Color from tomato sauces may adhere to the interior parts of the dishwasher (pg. 15). If light staining has occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain

away. Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to use a dishwasher detergent

that contains chlorine to better fight staining.

Certain dishwasher detergents may stain silver. Try another brand of detergent.
