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 tamper with controls.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a dishwasher.
• Keep young children and infants awayfrom 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. Ifthe 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/orsuffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

Operating Instructions
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 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, covers the filter, and rises to the bottom of the heater clips.
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.

Option Selections
Hi Temp Wash Option
When HI TEMP WASH option is selected, the dishwasher heats the water inthe main wash to
approximately 140°F (60°C). Wash action will continue but timer will not advance until proper temperature is
reached. The hotter water provided by this option helps activate dishwasher detergent to clean food grease and
soil from dishes. HI TEMP WASH option can be used with any cycle except QUICK RINSE.
When HI TEMP WASH option is selected, the light above the pad will come on and remain on until end of cycle. To turn off the HI TEMP WASH option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
To turn offthe HI TEMP option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
Heat Dry Option
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will give you excellent drying results. The energy to use
HEAT DRY costs pennies per cycle. You may turn off the HEAT DRY option, however you will have items in your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the
cycle.
Delay Start
The DELAY START option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 2-4 or 2-4-6 hours depending on your model.
On models with 2-4-6 hour delay, press the pad once for
a 2 hour delay, twice for 4 hours and three times for 6
hours. A light will come on indicating the delay start hours and will remain on until cycle starts.
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle
before the delay period is over, press the START/ CANCEL pad.
To Cancel a Cycle
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle. Press_
START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher will start a 90
second drain. At the end of the drain, select the desired
cycle.
With either option, you may see water vapor coming from vent during the drying portion of the cycle. Some models have a vent that is closed during washing to hold moisture and sound inside and then opens for drying.
To turn off the HEAT DRY option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
The drying option may be changed at any time during the cycle and affects only the drying period.
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
beforewashing items in question.
If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
Do not cover funnel
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.
Load items with open ends facing down for better
cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other
during dishwasheroperation.
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.
Some models have a fold-down cup shelf or a cup shelf/ stemware holder. They can be used to load two levels of cups, juice glasses, and other short items. Stagger
items on upper level so that water can reach all inside surfaces. Fold up to load tall glasses.

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.
