instructions are not followed.

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.”

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.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

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

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.

Key Usage Tips

Filtration system and Maintenance

The filter system consists of two

parts, an upper filter assembly and

lower filter.

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

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.

SLIDE

1. Prepare and Load the Dishwasher

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.

2. Check that all arms spin freely

3. 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 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).

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.

■ To add rinse aid, open the dispenser lid by gently pushing in the

center of the lid with your thumb while lifting up on the edge.

■ Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level shows that it

is full.

■ Close dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting

will give good results.

■ If you are experiencing poor drying

performance, you may want to try a higher

setting. Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher

setting to increase the amount of rinse aid.

5. Select a Cycle (cycles vary by

model)

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as

driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately

2¹⁄₂ hours, but can take less or more time to complete depending on

selections.

6. Select Options (options vary by

model)

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you

change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Not all

options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected for a

given cycle, the lights will flash.

7. Start or Resume a Cycle

NOTE: Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the

water is hot. Turn off water.

■ 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.

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish,

even during the Delay Hours option), the START/RESUME button must

be pressed each time.

■ Press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in

the previous wash cycle.

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
