Youinstructions,can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
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 ifthe 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.
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" orthe 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.
n Ifthe 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 away from
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. 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.
Remove the door to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using Your Dishwasher
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 isequipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
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.
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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 indrying.

the HEAT DRY option, however you will have items in
your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
