IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

■

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

■

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in

a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

■

When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage

the door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk

of cut-type injuries.

■

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked

“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so

marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

■

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after

use.

■

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

are properly in place.

■

Do not tamper with controls.

■

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks

of the dishwasher.

■

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in

or on the dishwasher.

■

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, before using

the dishwasher 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 time.

■

Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of

electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for

electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet

that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative

if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the

dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

■

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the dishwasher.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

WARNING

Quick Steps

Dishwasher Use

Prepare and Load the Dishwasher

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other

hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before

washing.

10 Place load pattern

12 Place load pattern

■ Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items

are blocking the detergent dispenser.

■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and

inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and

drying results.

■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.

Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”

■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load

dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight

load items are secured in the racks.

Prepare and load

dishwasher.

Select a cycle and option.

Add detergent

for cleaning and

rinse aid for

drying.

Start

dishwasher.

STEP 1

Upper rack Lower rack

■ Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from

spinning freely. It is important for the water

spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp

items pointing down. Mix other items

pointing up and some pointing down.

Add Detergent

NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse

cycle. Do not use detergent.

■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid

or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.

■ Fresh automatic

dishwasher detergent

results in better

cleaning. Store tightly

closed detergent

container in a cool, dry

place.

■ The amount of

detergent to use depends on:

How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads

require more detergent.

The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water,

dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,

glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)

[typical water softener water and some city water]

Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)

[well water and some city water]

■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section

of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the

level shown, if needed.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown

are for standard powdered

detergent. Follow instructions

on the package when using

other dishwasher detergent.

Add Rinse Aid

■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying

performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher

interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will

not perform as well without rinse aid.

■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can

dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by

allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final

rinse.

■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the

dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.

■ Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator

drops to “Refill” level.

■ To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser

cap to “Open” and lift off. Pour rinse

aid into the opening until the indicator

level is at “Full.” Replace the

dispenser cap and turn to “Lock.”

Make sure cap is fully locked.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the

factory setting of 2 will give good

results. If you have hard water or notice

rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn

the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser

by either using your fingers or inserting

a flat-blade screwdriver into the center

of the arrow and turning.

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)

See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following

section.

Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some cycles and

options will take up to 3¹⁄₂ hours to complete.

Select Options (options vary by model)

See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following

section.

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired.

Start or Resume a Cycle

■ Run hot water at the sink nearest your

dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off water.

■ Push door firmly closed. The door latches

automatically. Select the wash cycle and

options desired OR press START/RESUME to

repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash

cycle.

■ You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts.

Open the door slowly and add the item. Close the door firmly.

Press START/RESUME.
