IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher , follow basic precautions, including the following:
n Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. n Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this
Use and Care Guide.
n Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended
for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
n 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.
n 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.
n Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
n Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
n If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
make sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.
n Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
n Do not tamper with controls. n Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on
door or racks of a dishwasher.
n Keep young children and infants away from
dishwasher when it is operating.
n 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.
n To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove
door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
n 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.
ENGLISH
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher. Connect ground wire to green ground nut in
terminal box. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to do so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
n For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or a equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

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.
9. The dishwasher may pause during the cycle while water is being heated. Wash action will continue during this time.
10. Rinse aid is automatically dispensed in the final rinse to aid in drying.
Appearance may vary from your model.
Getting Started
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The indicator will glow when selected.
5. Select desired OPTIONS (See Option Selections). The indicator will glow when selected.
6. If using WASH DELAY, go to step number
8.
7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water off.
8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.
Status Indicator Lights
The WASHING light comes on at the beginning of cycle and remains on until the end of the final rinse.
The DRYING light indicates the drying portion of the cycle. The light will come on when either drying option is selected.
When the SANITIZE option is selected, the SANITIZED light will glow when the SANITIZE cycle is finished. If the dishwasher did not properly sanitize the dishes, the light will not come on. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light will remain on until the door is opened.
The CLEAN light will come on at end of cycle and remain on until door is opened.

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. 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 DishesPreparing and Loading Dishes
Preparing and Loading Dishes
Preparing and Loading DishesPreparing 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.
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.
ENGLISH
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.
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 dishwasher operation.
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.
