Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

Please read all safety instructions before using your new appliance.

For Your Safety

•Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this Use and Care Guide.

•Use only detergents or rinse agent recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of reach of children.

•When loading items to be washed:

•Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal or tub.

•Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

•Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked.

Plastic Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential

fi re hazard.

•Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

•Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

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 cut.

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in this unit will operate properly.

•If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, maker sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.

•Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a dishwasher.

•Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.

•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 the 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 to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Dishwasher Features

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins by filling with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions

Wash Cycle Selections

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water

temperature and, it is is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in the main wash of all cycles.

This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been selected. When HITEMP WASH is selected, an even higher temperature will be guaranteed to handle heavier soil loads.

Hi-Temp Wash

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 1400F (600C).

This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes more e ectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles except CHINA

GENTLE and RINSE ONLY. HI-TEMP

WASH is automatically provided when POTS PANS cycle is selected.

When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. To turn o the HI-TEMP WASH option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn o .

NOTE

The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle so you do not have to reset each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL pad.

Air Dry

The unit defaults to heated dry when it is started with any cycle selected. This drying uses a combination of heated dry with rinse aid that achieves enhanced

drying performance. If you prefer to only have AIR DRY for dishes, you will select AIR DRY and the unit will not energize the heating element. This will reduce energy consumption, but will also reduce drying performance.

Operating Instructions

Delay Start

Preparing and Loading Dishes

Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuous fi ltered wash system will remove remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.

Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse o these food soils.

•Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

•Check manufacturer’s recomendations before washing items in question.

•If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

Loading the Upper Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

The upper rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc.

Load glasses in upper rack. Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack.

Load plastic items in upper rack only. Melting may occur if placed in bottom rack.

Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.

Preparing and Loading Dishes

Loading the Bottom Rack

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the spray arm rotation. For best results, place bowls, casseroles, and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.

Make sure tall items do not block the rotation of the spray arm.

Be sure pan handles do not protrude through

the bottom of the rack and block the rotation of the spray arm.

12 place settings standard loading pattern

Loading the Silverware Basket

Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on the counter or table.

Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Use suggested loading patters, as shown, to increase washability of your silverware.

10 place settings standard loading pattern

Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.

Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the silver finish.

The silverware basket can be separated and placed in several locations in the bottom rack. Load silverware in all sections or just one, depending on your load.
