Dishwasher Safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in the manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
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:
n Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
nUse your dishwasher only as instructed in this Use and Care Guide.
nUse only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
nWhen 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.
nDo 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.
nDo not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
nDo not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
nIf the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.
nDisconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.
n Do not tamper with controls.
nDo not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a dishwasher.
nKeep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.
nUnder 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.
nRemove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Before Using Your Dishwasher
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 cuts.
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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
nFor 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.
nFor 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.

Option Selections
Hi Temp Wash Option
When HI TEMP WASH option is selected the dishwasher adds temperature, time, and water to the cycle. The dishwasher heats the water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C). 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 UPPER RACK and 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 off the HI TEMP option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
* Includes dry time.
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.

Operating Instructions
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. 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 HEAVY, NORMAL and ECO 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 at least 120°F (49°C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
To turn off the SANITIZE option, press the pad a second time. The light above the pad will turn off.
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.
(continued)
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.

|
controls, press the HEAT DRY pad until the indicator |
|
light goes out. |

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.
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.
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
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.
