IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

■

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.

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

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.

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.

WARNING

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.

Quick Steps

Prepare and load

dishwasher.

Add detergent

for cleaning and rinse aid for drying.

Dishwasher Use

STEP 1

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

Upper rack Lower rack

12 Place load pattern

Select a cycle and option.

Start

dishwasher.

■ Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from

spinning freely. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

■ 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.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp

items pointing down. Mix other items pointing up and some pointing down.

STEP 2

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

Hard Water

MAIN WASH

PREWASH

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.

Add

■ 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.

STEP 4

Start or Resume a Cycle
