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.

Important Safety Instructions
Products with a _ label [lave 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.
Z 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. 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.

DISHWASHER USE
Hot Water
For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water
is necessary. The incoming water temperature
should be 120 ° F C49° C) to properly activate the
detergent and melt greasy food soils.
Add recommended amount of detergent to each cup
as shown and close the detergent lid.
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 (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.
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.
' s, @
tt t:tt:
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.
