Important Safety Instructions
Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents
out of the reach of children.
This symbol will help alert you to such
dangers as personal injury, burns, fire, and
electrical shock.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your dishwasher,
follow basic precautions including the
following:
Read all instructions before using your
dishwasher.
Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this
Use and Care Guide.
Instructions appearing in this Use and Care
Guide are not meant to cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Practice
common sense and caution when installing,
operating and maintaining any appliance.
DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions
for details.
This dishwasher is designed to operate on
regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a
circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit
breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if dishwasher is
connected with a food waste disposer.
Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are in their proper place.
To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove
door or door latch mechanism from any
dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.
Keep young children and infants away from
dishwasher when it is operating.
Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on
door or racks of a dishwasher.
Do not wash plastic items unless marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. Check with
manufacturer for recommendations, if not
marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe
may melt and create a potential fire hazard.
If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
make sure disposer is completely empty before
running dishwasher.
Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher
before servicing.
Repairs should be done by a qualified
technician.
* Do not tamper with controls.
* Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
* 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.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has
not been used for such a period, before using
dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let
water flow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
Filling the Detergent
Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered and one
uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup
falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed.
The covered cup opens automatically to release
detergent.
• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents will cause
oversudsing.
• When using automatic dishwashing detergent
tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or
caked detergent will not dissolve properly.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can
result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or
spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water
can cause a permanent film called etching. Your
local water company, water softener company or
county extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.

*Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve water
quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle.
As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the
tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.
