Dishwasher Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

DANGER

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

W10300216A

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

■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.

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 equipmentgrounding 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

1 Prepare and load dishwasher.

2 Add detergent for cleaning and rinse aid for drying.

Quick Steps

3 Select a cycle and option.

(Cycles and options vary by model.)

4 Start dishwasher.

NOTE: If the Start/Resume button is located on the top of the door, push the door firmly closed within

3 seconds of pressing START/ RESUME.

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

■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 some of the items having pointing up and some pointing down.

Upper rack

Lower rack

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.

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.

■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.

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		Full
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.

2.To open track stops, flip the track stop to the outside of the track.

3.Place the back rack rollers on each side of the rack into the track slot and roll the rack back into the tracks.

4.Insert front rack rollers on each side of the rack into the rack slots.

5.Close track stops on both sides of rack and slide rack back into dishwasher.

Light Item Clips

1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2. Reposition the clip on another tine.

Fold-down Tines

The row of tines on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the upper rack can be adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes.

1.Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.

2.Gently push the tine out of the holder.

3. Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack.

7

Filtration System

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.

The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.

■The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles, out of the pump.

■The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.

The filters may need to be cleaned when:

■Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.

■There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes).

■Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.
