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:
[] Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. [] Do not tamper with controls. [] Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
[] 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:
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.
[] 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.
[] Do not touch the heating element during or immediately
after use.
[] Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels
are properly in place.
[] 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.
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
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 connector in terminal box,
Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements, Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve.
Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing" section for winter storage information.
• Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.
• Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See
Installation Instructions for complete information.

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 multilevel wash sytem with a self-cleaning filter.
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.
8.
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.
Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.
2.
Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.
3.
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.
\
4. Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. (See "Dishwasher Use.")
5. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.
6. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off
water.
7.
Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See "Dishwasher Use.")
DISHWASHER LOADING
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water and energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting
them into the dishwasher. NOTE: Prerinsing dishes soiled with tomato-based products
is recommended to avoid staining the dishware. The wash module removes food particles from the water. The
module contains a multilevel wash system with a self-cleaning filter.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you might hear grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur.
• For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible.
• Use special care when loading heavy pots and pans. Heavy items can damage the interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
Conserve water and energy and save time over hand rinsing by running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.
• Place items so open ends face down for best cleaning and draining.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of
the spray arm(s).
• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to avoid noise transfer through drains.

• Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.
• Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses. Damage can occur.
• Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
• China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation, Damage may occur.
• Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.
• Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.
• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
• Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
10place setting
Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines. Overlap the edges of plates for large loads. Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety
of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

12 place setting
• Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.
• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
• Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.
• Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet
opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
DISHWASHER USE
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.
A B C D
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.
NOTES:
• Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
• Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
A. Cover B. Main Wash section C. Cover latch D. Pre-Wash section
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Charts.")
• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
• Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent if you have selected a rinse cycle.
Filling the dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the cover latch.
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How much detergent to use."
3. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed. (See "Cycle Selection Charts.")
4. Close the dispenser cover.
The cover will open during the cycle to dispense the detergent.
How much detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes will not be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water's hardness by asking your Sears Sales Associate, local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

tit might be necessary to use the Hi Temp wash option for best

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.
Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered
detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.
IMPORTANT: See "Cycle Selection Charts" for which detergent dispenser sections to use with each cycle.
:tp,, *"
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes during the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 3 months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be sure not to overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.
2. Remove the fill indicator cap.
3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the fill indicator cap. Close tightly.
oency _i"pS
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the
faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup.
10
3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.
Additional efficiency tips
• To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
• Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
• During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
• Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
• Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.
Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START/ RESUME to use the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.
NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, the dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and options that you selected when you press Start/Resume.
