DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appiiance. 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

ADANGER

AWARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you howto reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic

■ Read all instrucfions 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

precautions, including the following:

■ 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.

^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.

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. 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.

ULTRA WASH® FILTRATION SYSTEM

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy consumption while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughouf the life of your dishwasher, fhe filfer 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.

Locating Tabs ■ ■

Lower Filter

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.

Removing and maintaining the filters is very easy. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

Very Hard Water

If you have hard wafer (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher indicates hard water. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on removing spots and stains, see “Troubleshooting” section.

Filter Removal Instructions

1. Turn the Upper Filter Assembly Va turn counterclockwise and lift out.

2. Grasp the Lower Filter in the circular opening, lift slightly, and pull forward to remove.

3. Clean the filters as shown below.

Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT:

Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc. as they may damage the filters.

Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.

To mmove Upper Filter Assembly

Filter Reinstallation Instructions

1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the Lower Filter under the Locating Tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher so the round opening for the Upper Filter Assembly

lines up with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.

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.

To replace Upper Filter Assembly

IMPORTANT:

To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the ULTRA WASH®^^ 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 EFFICIENCY TIPS

Fiot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher detergent. Flot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low.

Additional efficiency tips

■ To save water, energy and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

■ Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utility providers recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

■ Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

DETERGENT AND RINSE AID

Detergert Rinse Aid

Use only automatic dishwashing detergent. Hand dishwashing detergent will produce excessive suds and overfiow out of the dishwasher.

Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.

Recommended Detergent Amount

Add recommended amount of detergent to each cup as shown and close the detergent lid.

Filling the dispenser

The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under most conditions this will last 1 to 3 months.

1. Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.

2. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points

to FULL. Do not overfill.

3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.

4. Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.

NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is

completely opened.

Rinse Aid Setting

Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting.

Lock

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 the main cup and close the lid.

IMPORTANT:

Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level.

To adjust the setting

1. Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.

Turn the arrow inside the dispenser to the desired

setting.

Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.

Cleaning the exterior

DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that Is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Cleaning the interior

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

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 “Spotting and filming on dishes” in “Troubleshooting” section.

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

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. To order a drain air gap, please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME®. Ask for

Part Number 300096. NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your

dishwasher. The warranfy 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

Storing for the summer

Storing for the winter

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.

iscorii i||

If your dishwasher is nof in use during the summer months, turn off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

Avoid possible water damage to your home and dishwasher due to freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperafures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:

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

If the Start/Resume or Smart Display status bar light is blinking, push START/RESUME

and close the door within 3 seconds.

Be sure the door is closed and latched. Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information.”) Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for

service.

Check for dishware such as cookie sheefs, cuffing 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. (Smart Display will show the word “COMPLETED.”) If

it has not completed, you will need to resume the cycle by pressing START/RESUME

and closing the door within 3 seconds.

■ 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 (49°C) is best, the dishwasher will delay longer while heating cooler water.

■ Some options will add time to the cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information” section.) The Heated Dry option adds Vz hour.

Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle.

Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.

DISHWASHER NOT DRYING

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

WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN

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 Heated 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.

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

Check that the float is free from obstrucfions. (See “Parts and Features.”) 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.”) Be sure the cycle has completed. (Smart Display will show the word “COMPLETED.”) If

it has not, you will need to resume the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing

the door within 3 seconds.

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

■ 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
