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-connnected 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 qualied 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 t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
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.
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,

Water Softening System
Your dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results
and is equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if you
have a household water softening system, the internal system pro vided
is not needed.
For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use
the dishwasher water softening salt. The amount of salt dispensed can
be set from “H:00” to “H:07”. Salt is not required at H:00 (this is the default factory setting). The amount of salt required depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water. See Table 1.
1 Open the door and turn the unit on using the [ON/OFF] button.
2 Hold down the “A” button (see page 4) and press [START] until the
display indicates “H:00”.
3 Release both buttons.
4 Press the “C” button to select the desired setting.
5 Save the selected setting by pressing [START] and close the door.
Salt
Refill the salt container, using a funnel to pour, right before turning on the unit to
ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This prevents corro sion.
See Figure 1.
1 Open the screw cap of the salt container.
2 Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for the
first time).
3 Add dishwasher salt until the water is displaced and runs out.
4 Refill with salt as soon as the salt refill indicator is lit.
Warning: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water
softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately begin any cycle.
Note: Rell salt only when the “Rell Salt” LED or the salt rell symbol is lit. Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than
dishwasher water softening salt.
Figure 1
For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service.
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing
detergent or detergent tabs.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water
may cause etching in glassware.
The dishwasher uses less water, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft
water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent
dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent (Figure 2) to 1 tablespoon (15
ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of deter gent.
Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware
clean.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to mea sure
the amount of detergent recommended in Table 2.
To Close:
• Place finger as shown in Figure 3.
• Slide door closed and press down firmly until it clicks.
To Open:
• To open the cover, push the button as shown in Figure 4.

Rinse Aid
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your detergent
contains a rinse aid or drying additive.
Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the Rell Rinse Aid LED
or symbol in the display.
If this light is on, you need to rell the rinse aid dispenser by following the directions
below.
Adding Rinse Aid
Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until the reservoir is full (see Figure 5).
Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may puddle when the dispenser reservoir is
full. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door is
shut. See page 13 for how to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed.

Dishwasher Cycles and Options
Wash Cycle Information
The cycle times in this Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on
Wash Cycles
Note: In order to save energy, it is recommended to set the “Auto Power Off” feature (available on select models) to “P:01” (see
manual section titled “Auto Power Off”).
Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking.
Senor: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for use with mixed loads of dishware with varying
amounts of food soil. This is the most flexible cycle.
Normal: This is the cycle recommended for daily, regular or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled dishes.
In order to obtain optimal performance with minimum energy consumption, it is recommended to disable all available options and
settings, except “Auto Power Off” as noted at the start of this section.
Note 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions.
30 Min Wash: Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert
dish ware that may need to be reused at the same event.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours.
Partial Load: In the Heavy, Auto, Normal, and Delicate wash cycles, the Half Load option can reduce the energy and water
consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher’s capacity. To activate,
select the Half Load button in addition to any of the three cycles listed above.
ExtraWash: This cycle option can be selected to increase wash performance with more water used in extrasequences and
at higher temperatures.
Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. Press the “Sanitize Option” button to
activate the Sanitation features during the Auto and Normal cycles. The Sanitize symbol
or LED will always be on when running a Heavy cycle. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the drying results.
Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto Wash when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize option in your last
cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.
ExtraDry: Used in combination with a wash cycle (except ExtraWash), the ExtraDry option raises the tem-perature and
extends the drying time to further enhance drying results.

Note 1: The Energy Guide label was based on the soil sensing Normal Wash cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any RinseAid
(liquid) in the Rinse Aid chamber. A single dose of detergent was inserted into the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergentbeing used in
the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the denitions in the test procedure. We recom-mend that dish loads
such as the one in the energy certication test have the rack position set in the highest position.
