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 appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
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
This is the safety alert symbol.
"WARNING." These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
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
WARN ING: 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground connector in
terminal box.
Do not usean extension cord.
Failureto follow these instructionscan result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Install where dishwasher is sheltered from the
elements. Avoid possible rupture of fill valve from
freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by the
warranty. See "Storing" section for winter storage
information.
• Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the
weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.
• Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors
(such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing.
See Installation Instructions for complete information.

See "ULTRA

SYSTEM" for information
on removing and
maintaining the filters.
IMPORTANT: DO not block detergent
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.
Efficiency dishwashers use advanced
filtration which may result in longer cycle
times (in some cases over 2 hours).
When you need fast results, the 1 Hour
Wash will clean your dishes using slightly
more water and energy. For improved
drying, select the Heated Dry option,
adding V2hour.
Optical soil sensors are used twice in the
cycle to provide optimal energy and
water consumption based on load size,
soil amount and toughness of soil. The
sensors also automatically calibrate
throughout the life of your dishwasher to
maintain cleaning performance based on
your water conditions.

ULTRA WASH®HEFILTRATION 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. 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.

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 water (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.

DISHWASHER EFFICIENCY TIPS
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher detergent. Hot 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
IM PO RTANT:
Use only automatic dishwashing detergent. Hand
dishwashing detergent will produce excessive suds and
overflow out of the dishwasher.
IMP( _RTANT:
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.

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.
IM PO RTANT:
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.
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
Refill
To adjust the setting
1. Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.
2. Turn the arrow inside the dispenser to the desired
setting.
3. Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.

Cleaning the exterior
DISHWASHER CARE
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.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting and filming on dishes" in
"Trou bleshooting" 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 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
Storing for the summer
Storing for the winter
20
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.
If your dishwasher is not 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 temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by
authorized service personnel.

OFTUB
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:
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.
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 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 (green or blue light is on). If it has not completed, you
will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
• 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 1/2hour.
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
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.
• Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float is free from obstructions. (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 (the green or blue 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.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
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. You may bring water samples to Sears to
check your water hardness level. 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 a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month.
Clean the ULTRA WASH ®HEfilters at least once per month.
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
daily 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 Heated
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 "Loading for Best Performance.")
Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See "Cleaning
Instructions" in "ULTRA WASH ®HEFiltration System" for details.)
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots Pans cycle with the
TURBOZONETM option can be used for tougher loads.
Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
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).
DID NOT SANITIZE If the sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in
the final rinse, or your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120°F (49°C).
DAMAGE TO DISHWARE Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific
loading instructions within this guide.)
