Dishwasher Safety

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

WARNING: When using the dishwasher , follow basic precautions, including the following:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

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.

ENGLISHENGLISH

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.

Do not use dishwasher until completely

installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

Tip Over Hazard

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.

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.

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.

Appearance may vary from your model.

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 heats the water in the 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 off the 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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Child Lock Controls

To prevent children from accidently changing the

dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher, lock the

dishwasher controls by pressing and releasing the HEAT

DRY pad for 3 seconds while the door is latched. An

indicator light on the lock graphic pad will illuminate

when the controls are locked and no new selections can

be made until the lock is released. To unlock the

controls, press the HEAT DRY pad until the indicator

light goes out.

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.

Preparing and Loading DishesPreparing and Loading Dishes

Preparing and Loading Dishes

ENGLISHENGLISH

ENGLISH

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.
