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 an
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.
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.

remain in contact with the surface for an
extended period of time.
GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
• 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.
RECOMMENDED
LOADING
(Rack features vary by model)
For best dishwashing results follow these
guidelines to determine the best arrangement for your items.
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 longhandled knives, spatulas and spoons or short
items like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for
taller items like glasses, bowls, plates, etc.
The
Stack-Rack 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
The cup clips (select models) located in
the center of the upper rack can be used
to hold light weight 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, align the
Vari-Lock™Snugger (select models) wavy
wire with the arrow on the rack clip. Rest
the bottom of the glass against the wavy
wire.

Rack Stop
REMOVABLE UTENSIL BASKET
(Design varies by model)
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 sec-
tion(s) with the hinged
cover(s).
ODDS & ENDS 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.
SPLIT & FIT UTENSIL BASKET
(Select models)
The split silverware basket can be separated
and placed in several locations in the bottom rack. Hold the basket firmly along the
sides. Follow the unlock direction arrows
imprinted on the basket and slide the basket
apart until it splits into
two. Load flatware and
utensils into both
sections or just one,
depending upon
your load.
HOT WATER
For optimal cleaning and drying
results, hot water is necessary. The
incoming water temperature should
be 120–140° F (49-60° C) 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. If the temperature is
below 120° F (49° C), have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.
Before starting the dishwasher,turn on the
hot water faucet and let it run until the
water is hot.This assures that the initial fill
of water is hot.
DETERGENT
Use a detergent designed specifically for
use in an automatic dishwasher. Be sure it
is fresh and stored 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.
Do not use detergent with
Rinse Only.
Leave the detergent lid open when running
Rinse Only.
In 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 be necessary to improve water quality, detergent
effectiveness, and protect the dishwasher
parts from the damage that hard water can
cause.
Water Hardness* Soil Level Detergent Amount**
Soft (0-4 gpg) Light Soil 5 teaspoons
Normal Soil 6 teaspoons
Heavy Soil 8 teaspoons
Medium (5-9 gpg) Light Soil 7 teaspoons
Normal Soil 8 teaspoons
Heavy Soil 10 teaspoons
Hard (10-12 gpg) Light Soil 9 teaspoons
Normal Soil 10 teaspoons
Heavy Soil 12 teaspoons
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 cups. 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 manufacturers recommended setting of “3”. 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.

INTERIOR
The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher
tub to see if any large particles have not gone
through the strainer portion of the module.
Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to
remove any food soil splashes which occurred
during loading.
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 off of
dishes, prior to loading.
• Run the Heavy Wash cycle when washing
loads containing tomato-based food soils.
• Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to
use a dishwasher detergent that contains
chlorine to better fight staining.
Most tableware, cookware and flatware can safely be washed in your dishwasher. Check with the manufacturer.
EXTERIOR
The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth and liquid spray cleaner.
Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
Stainless Steel Care and Cleaning
(select models)
Do not use a cleaning product containing chlorine bleach. Always wipe with the grain of the
stainless steel. For daily cleaning and light
soil, use a soft cloth or sponge and one of the
following: mild detergent and water, a solution
of white vinegar and water, Formula 409 Glass
and Surface Cleaner* or a similar multi-surface
cleaner. Rinse and dry. To polish and to help
prevent fingerprints, follow with Stainless Steel
Magic Spray* (part No. 20000008)**.

Dishwasher Will Not Fill:
• Press the START/Cancel pad to start the dishwasher.
• Be sure door is latched securely.
• Be sure the water is turned on.
• Check that the pad is properly selected for a cycle.
• Allow time to pause before filling.
• Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.
• Check inlet hose for a kink.
• Check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary.
Dishwasher Will Not Drain/Water In Tub Bottom:
• If hooked up to a food waste disposer, be sure the knock-out is removed from the disposer inlet.
• Check for food obstruction in the drain or disposer.
• Check drain hose for a kink.
• Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.
• Check that the cycle is completed.
Dishwasher Adds Water at END of Cycle:
• This is normal. The sensor (select models) in the pump must stay submerged so a short fill of water is added after the cycle’s last drain.
Detergent Cup Is Not Empty:
• Check that the cycle is completed.
• Be sure dispenser is not blocked.
• Use fresh detergent stored in a cool, dry place.
Dishwasher Seems Noisy:
• A water valve hiss during fill is normal.
• Water circulation sounds are normal.
• A thumping sound may be a wash arm bumping an item that is extending beyond the racks.
• Chopping or grinding sounds may be heard during drain as the internal food disposer chops hard items like fruit seeds, nuts, etc.
• Humming during the drain is normal.
• A snap noise is the detergent cup lid hitting the door liner when the dishwasher door is opened at the end of the cycle.This is normal.
• Proper installation affects the noise level.
Cycle Takes Too Long (Heating Delay Light Stays On):
• Tough Scrub™or Tough Scrub Plus™(select models) or Sanitize has been selected and the cycle is extended to heat water.
• Check to see that the incoming water temperature is 120-140° F (49-60° C).
Dishwasher has an Odor:
• 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 Light Wash 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 dishwasher cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner*.
Dishwasher Leaks:
• 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 if sudsing continues.
• Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 7).
• To avoid rinse aid lid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached.
Display Time Suddenly Drops or Increases by Several Minutes (select models):
• This is normal when the Auto Clean or Normal cycle (select models) is selected and the dishwasher decides to skip or add a drain and refill.
Dishwasher Door Will Not Close:
• Be sure upper rack is properly adjusted to upper or lower position (select models) (pg. 3).

Indicator Lights Flashing:
• The countdown display (select models) flashes after a cycle is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
• The countdown display (select models) and the delay indicator flash after a delay is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
• All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running cycle or delay.
• The currently selected cycle flashes if the consumer attempts to change the cycle after cycle “lock-in”.
• The lock indicator flashes and the countdown display (selected models) flashes an “L” if a pad is pressed while the control lock is enabled.
Glasses Are Cloudy/Spotted:
• Select Extra Rinse (select models).
• Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120°-140° F (49-60° 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 is due to hard
water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water hardness (pg. 5). 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 be sure incoming water temperature is not greater than 140° F (60° C). Use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).
Food Soil Remains on Dishes:
• Check water temperature (pg 5).
• Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.
• Select Tough Scrub™or Tough Scrub Plus™(select models).
• Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly (pg. 5).
• Use fresh detergent stored in a cool dry place.
• Select proper cycle for the soil level.
• Make sure the upper rack wash arm connector is correctly aligned in one of the water inlet holes (pg. 3).
• Load items so they do not block the wash arms (pg. 2-4).
• 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 or the dishwasher tub. A 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 tub (pg. 8). If light staining has occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain away. For removal
of heavier stains, try Cascade Plastic Booster Plastic Cleaning Additive*. Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.
Items Not Properly Dried/Moisture Is Present On The Dishwasher Interior After The Dry Cycle:
• Be sure Heated Dry is selected.
• Water droplets may form on the inner door as part of the drying process.
• Use a rinse aid like Jet Dry* or Cascade Rinse Aid*. Turn adjustable rinse aid cap to the MAX setting.
• Check water temperature (pg. 5).
• Select Sanitize.
• Increase detergent amount to match water hardness (pg. 5).
• Load properly (pg. 2-4)
• Plastic and teflon items are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets.Towel drying may be necessary.
• Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water and require towel drying. Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for
improved results.
Dishware is Chipped:
• Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other (pg. 2-4).
• Washing fine, antique china or crystal in the dishwasher is not recommended.
• Do not load glasses over the tines.
• Do not overload.
Sanitized Indicator Does Not Illuminate at the End of the Cycle (select models):
• Sanitize was not selected.
• Sanitization can only be achieved with the Auto Clean (select models), Heavy, Normal or Light wash cycles.
• Sanitization may not be achieved if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).
