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 your dishwasher only as instructed in this
Use and Care Guide.
• 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:
- 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. Items that are not dishwasher safe may
melt and create a potential fire 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.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
make sure disposer is completely empty before
running dishwasher.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
• Do not tamperwith controls.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on
door or racks of a dishwasher.
• Keep young children and infants away from

selected. Use care and do not let small children
play around or touch the vent area of the
dishwasher.
• NSF certified residential dishwashers are not
intended for licensed food establishments.
• 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.
• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove
door or door latch mechanism from any
dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

Wash System
Your Kenmore dishwasher filters 100% of the water
for optimum cleaning. The wash system uses
alternating arms to save water and energy and
includes:
• A soil sensor that checks the soil level in the first
wash and first rinse. When the soil level is
determined, additional water fills may be added or
deleted. This optimizes the efficiency of the
dishwasher while maintaining supurb wash
performance.
• An Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) that
guarantees the proper water temperature for the
selected wash cycle. The ATC adjusts the water
temperature in the main wash and final rinse of the
selected cycle. The higher water temperature
improves cleaning and drying.
• A heavy-duty stainless steel food disposer that grinds
up large food particles.
How the wash system works
1. Load the dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading
Dishes).
2. Hot water enters the dishwasher and covers the
filter.
3. Detergent is dispensed at the appropriate time and
mixed with the hot water. This mixture is pumped
through the lower spray arm and sprays against the
soiled surfaces of the dishes to remove food
particles.
4. Water passes through the fine mesh primary filter
where food soil is removed and the clean water is
then recirculated.
5. Ports under the lower wash arm direct the food soil
through a secondary filter into a collection chamber.
6. Food soil is held in the collection chamber until it is
flushed away during the drain cycle.
7. Clean, hot water enters the dishwasher and the
sequence is repeated.
8. Beginning with the third water fill, the wash action
switches between the lower spray arm and middle
spray arm in 90 second intervals. You may notice
a change in sound as the wash action pauses and
switches to the other arm.
9. The dishwasher may pause during the cycle while
water is being heated. Wash action will continue
during this time.
10. The final rinse water is heated and rinse aid is
automatically dispensed to aid in drying.

wash to approximately 145°F (63°C).
This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher
detergent remove food grease and soil from dishes
more effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP WASH

When selected, the light above the pad will come on
and remain on until end of cycle. The water
temperature in the final rinse will be raised to 155°F
(68°C) and will maintain that temperature for 9 minutes.
This option is available in Pots Pans, Normal and Light
Wash cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been
designed to meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the proper water
temperature is reached. Washing action will continue
during the water heating delay. For best results, the
incoming water temperature should be 120°F (49°C).

Preparing and Loading Dishes
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,
toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered 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 off these food
soils.
• Load racks so that large items do not
prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
• Check manufacturer's recommendations before
washing items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be
sure disposer is completely empty before
starting dishwasher.
Load items with open ends facing down for better
cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other
during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top
rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the
rack to block rotation of middle spray arm.
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware
basket may vary from your model
Important: Do not cover the funnel when loading.
The top rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide
variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware,
small plates, bowls, etc.
Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur if placed
in bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if
placed in bottom rack.

Do not cover funnel,
Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware
basket may vary from your model.
The bottom 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 spray arm rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom
of the rack and block the spray arm rotation.
