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

Filtration system and Maintenance |
|
|
The filter system consists of two |
|
|
parts, an upper filter assembly and |
Upper Filter |
|
lower filter. |
||
Assembly |
||
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to |
|
|
dishwasher, do not operate your |
|
|
dishwasher without filters properly |
|
|
installed. Be sure lower filter is |
|
|
securely in place and upper filter |
Lower Filter |
|
assembly is locked into place. If |
|
upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■ Visible objects or soils are on upper filter assembly.
■Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
See “Filtration System” in full User Guide for complete removal and maintenance schedule.
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until soils are removed. If you have hard to remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.

Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.
You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance. Rinse aid along with the Precision Dry® or Precision Dry +® option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in dishwasher interior.

Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is gained by extending cycle time and reducing the amount of wattage and water used during your dishwasher’s cycle. For exceptional cleaning, cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses. Several models contain an optical water sensor used to determine water and energy consumption for great cleaning performance.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Your first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical water sensor.
Press start/resume every time you add a dish.
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option), START/RESUME must be pressed each time.
Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If door is not closed within
3 seconds, the Start indicator will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and cycle will not start.
Recommended detergent
Tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance. See the “Add detergent” section of the online guide for more details when choosing powders, liquids and gels.

Operating Your Dishwasher
1. Prepare and Load the Dishwasher |
2. Check that all arms spin freely |
10 place load - upper rack |
10 place load - lower rack |
3. Add Detergent
12 place load - upper rack |
12 place load - lower rack |
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
■Make sure no items are blocking the detergent dispenser when the dishwasher door is closed.
■Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray, as shown in the graphics above. This will improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and between dishes.
■Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■Place plastics, small plates and glasses in upper rack.
■Wash only 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 racks.
■When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down and avoid “nesting”.
■ If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them. Mix silverware types to keep them separated.
■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.
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 detergent just before starting a cycle.
■Fresh automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.
Detergents
Many detergents now come in several forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder
packs). |
SLIDE |
|
It is recommended to use tablets and
packs for convenience and improved performance. They have been proven better than powder, liquid or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film. These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place detergents in the main compartment and slide lid to close.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the online user guide for more information on powder, liquid and gel usage.

4. 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 heating and drying options will not perform as well without rinse aid.
■Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of dishes after final rinse.
