DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this 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:

m Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. m Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

m Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use

in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

m When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

m Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked

"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

m Do not touch the heating element during or immediately

after use.

m Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

are properly in place.

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.

[] Do not tamper with controls. [] Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks

of the dishwasher.

[] To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in

or on the dishwasher.

[] 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 or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS

[]

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.

[]

For a permanently connected dishwasher: The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment- grounding conductor must be run with the circuit

conductors and connected to the equipment- grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

The ULTRA WASH _ Soil Removal System gives you sparkling clean dishes, while using less energy and time. The ULTRA WASH _ Soil Removal System includes:

• A Triple Action Filtration system that intermittently filters soil from the wash water, thus eliminating the need to scrape

dishes.

How the smartwash TM wash cycle works

• An ULTRA WASH_ optical soil sensor that detects soil level and detergent quantity appearing in the wash water and adjusts the cycles as needed.

• An Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) that ensures the proper water temperature for the selected wash cycle, dish

load size, and soil level of the load.

When the smartwash TM cycle is selected, it saves energy and water by adjusting the wash cycle as needed.

• Sensors detect the size of the dish load, the soil level, and the water temperature in the dishwasher.

• Sensors automatically adjust the temperature and the amount of water used for the load.

This dishwasher will automatically calibrate the sensor approximately once a year to your water quality.

IMPORTANT: The very first wash cycle after installation in your home will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses for optical soil sensor calibration. For proper calibration, the first cycle should not be interrupted. If this calibration cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean light comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle will repeat this sensor calibration.

START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the 5. dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling 6.

will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.

Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.

Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher Loading.") Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the

soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the

water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water.

Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

Add detergent. Always use a high-quality brand detergent. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

Press START/RESUME, or press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.

IMPORTANT: The Start/Resume light will flash if the door is opened during a cycle. Power interruptions during a cycle may also cause the Start/Resume light to flash. Press START/ RESUME to continue a cycle.
