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.

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.

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.

What’s New in Your Dishwasher

Energy

Congratulations on purchasing your water and energy efficient dishwasher! This dishwasher cleans by spraying the dishes with water and pauses to allow the detergent to soak into and release the soils on the dishes. The cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Several models contain an optical water sensor. The optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum 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. The first cycle using the sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.

Performance

Rinse Aid

Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance. This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard water deposits. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water “sheeting” action of rinse aid for total optimal performance.

Detergent

The United States has passed a restriction limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in the household dishwasher detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous detergents contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in detergents as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With these recent changes it is recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and improved performance.

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 optimal cleaning performance. Maintenance of your filters regularly will sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both your upper and lower filter and rinse under running water at least once a month.

Parts and Features

Start-Up / Quick Reference (varies by model)

IMPORTANT: Do not block detergent dispenser.

Tall items placed in the lower rack may block the dispenser door. Cookie sheets and cutting boards loaded on the left-hand side of the dishwasher can easily block the dispenser. If detergent is inside of the dispenser or on the bottom of the tub after the cycle is complete, the dispenser was blocked.

Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.

You must use a drying agent such as rinse aid for good drying performance (sample included). Rinse aid along with the Precision Dry Precision Dry

+ option will

provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the dishwasher interior.

1 Hour Wash - When you need fast results.

High Efficiency dishwashers run longer to save water and energy just as driving a car slower saves on gas. When you need fast results, the 1 Hour Wash will clean your dishes using slightly more water and energy. For improved drying, select the Precision Dry or Precision Dry

+ option to add additional

time to dry.

Sensor Wash cycle for optimal cleaning

The most advanced and versatile cycle. Sensor Wash cycle senses the load size, soil amount, and toughness of soil, to adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning using only the amount of water and energy needed. The Sensor Wash and Heavy Wash cycles are recommended for tough soil. No need to prerinse dishes; just scrape and load.

Press START/RESUME every time you add a dish.

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such

as, adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button must be pressed each time.

If the Start/Resume button is located on top of door: Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.

Proper Detergent Dosing

It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Add Detergent” and “Add Rinse Aid” sections to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness. Using dishwasher detergent tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid or gel detergents to reduce filming on your dishes.

Quick Steps

Prepare and load

dishwasher.

Spin the spray arms. They should turn freely.

Add detergent

and rinse aid.

Select a cycle and option (cycles and options vary

by model.)

Start dishwasher.

NOTE: 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 the cycle will not start.

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 - upper rack 10 place load - lower rack

12 place load - upper rack 12 place load - lower rack

■ 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

angled toward the spray. 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.

■ Improper loading can cause dishes to be chipped or damaged.

When loading glasses or mugs, it is best to load these items in between rows of tines instead of loading them over tines, as shown.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing

down. Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

STEP 2

Add

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.

■ Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator

drops to “Add” level.

■ To add rinse aid, turn the

dispenser cap to “Refill” 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.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting of 3 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

Premeasured Detergents

Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in main compartment and close lid.

Using dishwasher detergent tablets and packs 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.

Powders and Gels

■ 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.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types.

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.

STEP 3

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)

See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.

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.

Select Options (options vary by model)

See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.

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.

STEP 4

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.

Filtration System

Upper Filter Assembly

Lower Filter

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.

2. Insert the Upper Filter Assembly into the circular opening in

the Lower Filter.

3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place.

Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow does not have to align with the arrow in the Lower Filter as long as the filter is locked.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the Lower Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked into place. If the Upper Filter Assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

Dishwasher Care

Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish Part Number 31462A.

Cleaning the interior Removal of Hard Water/Filming

For removal of hard water/filming, it is recommended use of a monthly maintenance product such as affresh

■ Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by filming / hard water).

■ Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.

■ Select cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start dishwasher.

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

NOTE: Recommended to use a premeasured detergent tablet or pack for regular daily use.

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

To clean interior: Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean.

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.

See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Cloudy or Spotted Dishware” in the “Troubleshooting” section.

NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.

Dishwasher Cleaner Part Number W10282479.

Drain Air Gap

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air gap when your dishwasher is not draining well.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher. NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your

dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.

To clean the drain air gap

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.

Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

To reduce the risk of property damage

■ If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water

and power supply to the dishwasher.

■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice

formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your

dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

Troubleshooting

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

In the U.S.A., www.jennair.com In Canada, www.jennair.ca

PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTION DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUN

OR STOPS DURING A CYCLE

NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.

If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME. Be sure the door is closed and latched. Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the back of

the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and latched. Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section.) Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. Replace the fuse

or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few

minutes. If it does not restart, call for service. If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service. Check that the water shutoff valve, if installed, is turned on.

to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE DISPENSER OR TABLET IS ON BOTTOM OF TUB

Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.

Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free. Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to

resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.

CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:

■ To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run for

up to 3 hours.

■ A water heater setting of 120°F (49ºC) is best, the dishwasher will delay longer while heating

cooler water.

■ Some options will add time to the cycle. (See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section.) The

Precision Dry Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle. Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.

or Precision Dry®+ option adds approximately ½ hour.

PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTION DISHWASHER NOT DRYING NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous

surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. Use of rinse aid along with the Precision Dry

or Precision Dry®+ option is needed for proper drying. Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this guide.) Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when

unloading.

■ Unload the bottom rack first.

■ Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.

WILL NOT FILL Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.

Check that the float is free from obstructions. (See “Parts and Features” to identify the location of the float.)

Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water. (See “BLINKING LIGHTS” in “Troubleshooting.”)

WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/ WILL NOT DRAIN

Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.

If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed from the disposer inlet.

Check for kinks in the drain hose. Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer. Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.

HARD WATER (WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE)

NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it

difficult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is 15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:

Use affresh

dishwasher cleaner to remove buildup from dishwasher and dishware once per month.

Clean the upper and lower filters at least once per month. (See Cleaning Instructions in “Filtration System” section.)

Always use a rinse aid. Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent. Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.

ODORS NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load until a full

load is ready to run, or use the Top Rack Only option (on some models) for partial loads. Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright

glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heat Dry option turned off. Do not use detergent.

The dishwasher may not be draining properly, see “WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN” in “Troubleshooting.”

NOISY NOTES:

■ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.

■ Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.

■ A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and

when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.

■ Improper installation will affect noise levels.

Be sure the filters are properly installed. A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms.

Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.

FOOD SOILS REMAIN ON DISHES

Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance (see “Dishwasher Use”).

Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See Cleaning Instructions in “Filtration System” section for details.)

Select the proper cycle for the type of soils. The Sensor Wash or the Heavy Wash cycles can be used for tougher loads.

Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49ºC). Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled loads and hard

water conditions. Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).

PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTION DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN

DISHWASHER/CYCLE NOT COMPLETE

If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.

Suds can come from:

■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as dish detergent for hand washing dishes, laundry

detergent, or hand soap.

■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.

■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.

Call for service. If no water was present in the machine at any time during a heated wash cycle, the cycle will end and

the Clean LED will not come on. See “Will Not Fill” in “Troubleshooting.”

DID NOT SANITIZE If the sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final rinse,

or the temperature for your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120ºF (49ºC).

DAMAGE TO DISHWARE Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading

instructions within this guide.)

BLINKING LIGHTS Blinking LED's will occur when the cycle is paused or when the cycle has been interrupted by

opening the door. In this case, the Start/Resume button LED, the Cycle Status Indicator LED(s), and the countdown bars on the Cycle Status Display all blink together to indicate that attention is needed. See Start or Resume a Cycle in the “Dishwasher Use” section.

Blinking LED's can also occur when certain errors have been detected. In this case, the Clean/

Complete LED will blink 4 times in a row with a pause in between each set of blinks. When this error occurs, the controls will lock out and not allow another cycle to be started.

Call for service.

CLOUDY OR SPOTTED DISHWARE (AND HARD WATER SOLUTION)

NOTES:

■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.

■ Use the correct amount of detergent.

Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. (See “HARD WATER [WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE] in “Troubleshooting.”) If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).

Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49ºC). Try using the Super Scrub and Sanitize options. To remove spotting, see the “Dishwasher Care” section.

ETCHING (PERMANENT CLOUDINESS)

This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49ºC).

LEAKING WATER Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.

Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.

To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid overfilling.

TUB IS DISCOLORED NOTES:

■ High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.

■ Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.

A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.

The Clean light is flashing Check the following:

■ Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.

■ Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. (This is very important following the new

installation of your dishwasher.)

■ Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing

system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water. Suds can come from:

■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent

for hand washing dishes.

■ Forgetting to replace the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.

■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
