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

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
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 equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Key Usage Tips
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
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.
Filtration system and Maintenance
Your dishwasher has the latest
technology in dishwasher ltration.
This ltration system minimizes
Upper lter
assembly
sound and optimizes water and
energy conservation while providing
superior cleaning.
The lter system consists of two
parts, an upper lter assembly
and lower lter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the dishwasher, do not operate
your dishwasher without lters properly installed. Be sure lower lter
is securely in place and upper lter assembly is locked into place. If
upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
The lters may need to be cleaned when:
Ƀ Visible objects or soils are on upper
lter assembly.
Ƀ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
See “Filtration System” in the full User
Instructions for complete removal and
maintenance schedule.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or
a scouring pad, etc., as they may damage
the lters.
Rinse lter under running water until soils are
removed. If you have hard to remove soils or
calcium deposits because of hard water, a soft
brush may be required.

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

Operating Your Dishwasher
1. Prepare and load the dishwasher
10-place load – upper rack 10-place load – lower rack
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.
Ƀ Make sure when dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking
detergent dispenser.
Ƀ 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 ow up through the rack
and between dishes.
Ƀ Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates, that may trap food.
Ƀ Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in upper rack.
Ƀ Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”
Ƀ 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.
Ƀ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down
and avoid “nesting,” as shown. If your silverware does not t into
the designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them and
mix silverware types to keep them separated.
Ƀ Use the slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns
to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash. See the
complete online User Instructions for detailed illustrations.
2. Check that all arms spin freely
Items in the rack can block
the spray arms.
3. Add detergent
Premeasured Detergents
High-quality premeasured tablets
and packs are recommended for
improved performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been
proven better than powder, liquid, or gel
detergents at reducing lming on dishes.
Using tablets and packs over time will
start to reduce or eliminate white lm.
They are suitable for all water hardness
and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid,
you can minimize repeat buildup of white
lm (not all packs and tablets contain
rinse aid). Always place premeasured
detergents in main compartment and
close lid.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the complete User Instructions
for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.
Ƀ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just
before starting a cycle.
Ƀ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.

4. Add rinse aid
Ƀ 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.
Ƀ 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 nal rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware,
and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.
Ƀ 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.
Ƀ Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level shows
that it is full.
SLIDE
Ƀ 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 number to increase the amount of rinse aid.
5. Select a cycle
Efcient 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. Press START/CANCEL to select the Sensor cycle or
select another cycle appropriate for your load (see Cycle Guide).
6. Select options (varies 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 ash. Adding options may increase the
cycle time.
7. Start or resume a cycle
NOTE: If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher
until the water is hot. Turn off water.
Push door rmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start/Cancel.
If door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start/Cancel button LED
will ash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
IMPORTANT: If the door is opened for any reason after the cycle
is started (even during the delay option), Start/Cancel must be
pressed again.
Cycle Guide
This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for
the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically
compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.
CYCLES ESTIMATED
The most versatile cycle. This cycle senses the load size, soil amount, and
toughness of soil to adjust the cycle for improved cleaning, using only the
amount of water and energy needed. The Sensor cycle is automatically selected
if you rst press the Start/Cancel button. Includes Precision Dry +.*
Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular
tableware. Includes Precision Dry +.
This cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash
and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. This dishwasher’s government
energy certications were based on the Normal cycle with only the Precision
Dry + option selected.**
Use for lightly soiled items or china and crystal. 1:45 to 3:30 2.7 to 7.9
For fast results, the 1 Hour wash cycle will clean dishes using slightly more
water and energy. For improved drying, select the Precision Dry + option.
NOTE: Some detergents are not recommended for short wash cycles, please
refer to your detergent packaging for more information.
Use for refreshing clean items that may be dusty from infrequent use, or for
rinsing soiled items that will not be washed right away. Do not use detergent.
This is a specialty cycle that you select from the JennAir® app and download to
your dishwasher. Your dishwasher remembers this cycle until you replace it by
downloading another cycle from the JennAir® app.
