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.

(MPORTANT SAFETY (NSTRUCT(ONS

WARNmNG-" When using the dishwasher, fellow basic precautions, including the following:

m Read all instructions before using the dishwasher, m Do not tamper with controls. 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.

m Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks

of the dishwasher.

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

or on the dishwasher.

m 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.

m Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed, Do not push down on open door.

Doing eo can result in serioue 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 Triple Action Filtration system that intermittently filters soil • from the wash water, thus eliminating the need to scrape

dishes.

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.

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.

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

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.")

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.

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 triple action filtration system that intermittently filters soil from the water.

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. To avoid damage to the dishwasher, do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into

the wash module. 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.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.

Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

10place setting

• 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 lightweight 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.

12 place setting

No-flip clips (on some models}

The no-flip clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing.

To move a clip

1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2. Reposition the clip on another tine.

NOTE:Thefeaturesonyourdishwasherrackmayvaryfromthe drawingsshown.

10place setting

Do not load glasses, cups, or lightweight 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.

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.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items.

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.

• Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.

DISHWASHER USE

The detergent dispenser has two sections. The smaller Pre-Wash

section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close

the door. The larger Main Wash section automatically empties

detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Charts.")

A. Cover latch

B. Main Wash section

C. Pre-Wash section

• 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 cycle.

• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a Quick Rinse cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by moving the cover latch to the right.

2. Add the correct amount of detergent to the Main Wash section of the dispenser according to the the chart below. If you are using a tablet detergent, it must be placed in the Main Wash section. (See "How much detergent to use.")

3. Add the correct amount of detergent to the Pre-Wash section of the dispenser, if needed, according to the chart below.

4. Close the dispenser cover and secure by pressing on the cover directly above the cover latch.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: See the "Cycle Selection Charts" for which section to fill depending on the cycle selected..

How much detergent to use

• The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your dishes, 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

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 after 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.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

Fillingthe dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months.

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2. Turn the dispenser knob to "Open" and lift it out.

Full Add

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 Additional efficiency tips

To adjust the setting

1. Remove the dispenser knob.

2. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade

screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

3. Replace the dispenser knob.

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.

Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

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 oft-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.

A "O" shows the steps that are in each cycle.

Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters. Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time,

Main Wash, and Final Rinse indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT: These sensor-based cycles may take several hours depending on cycle selected, water temperature, soil level,

and dish mass sensed.

The Heated Dry option in combination with rinse aid will give you excellent drying results. The energy to use Heated Dry costs pennies per cycle. Heated Dry is on when the light is lit on the Heated Dry button. Be sure to load plastic items in the upper rack to avoid damage.

You may turn off the Heated Dry option by pressing HEATED DRY so that the light goes off. However, you will have items in your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the cycle.

NOTE: The Heated Dry option is used in all cycles.

Lock On

Use the Lock On to avoid unintended use of the dishwasher between cycles. You can also use the lock feature to avoid

unintended cycle or option changes during a cycle. When LOCK ON is lit, all buttons are disabled. NOTE: The dishwasher door can be opened while the controls

are locked. However, the lock must be turned off and the Start/ Resume button pressed to resume the cycle.

To turn on the Lock

Press and hold HEATED DRY for 4 seconds. LOCK ON glows.

Clean

Clean glows when acycle is finished. The light turns off when you press any button or close the door.

During cycles, the vent allows vapor to escape into the room. Between cycles, the vent allows airflow, reducing the buildup of

odors.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.

The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.

DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning the exterior

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your dishwasher has a

stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn't draining well.

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. If a house drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

To clean interior Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp

sponge and clean. OR

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.

OR See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting and filming on

dishes" in "Troubleshooting." NOTE: Run a normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the

interior.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, please

call 1-800-4-MY-HOME ®.Ask for Part Number 300096. NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is

not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with

the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.

To clean the drain air gap

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the

manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.

Storing for the summer

Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

Winterizing your dishwasher

Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal

dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Firsttry the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

Dishwasher is not operating property

• Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle Is the door closed tightly and latched? Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the "Cycle Selection

Charts." • Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse

blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an

electrician. Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor

automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not • restart, call for service.

Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on? It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several

seconds during the wash cycle.

• START/RESUME light is flashing Was the door opened during the cycle, or was the power

interrupted? The Start/Resume light will flash when the door is opened during a cycle, or may flash if the power is interrupted. Press START/RESUME to resume the cycle. Make sure the door is fully closed and latched.

• Clean light is flashing The dishwasher has malfunctioned. Call for service.

• Dishwasher will not fill Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down

freely? Press down to release.

• Dishwasher seems to run too long Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The

dishwasher runs longer while heating water. Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips" section.

A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles until the water reaches the proper temperature.

• Water remains in the dishwasher Is the cycle complete?

Was the disposer knockout plug removed during installation? (See "Install the drain hose" in the Installation Instructions.)

• Detergent remains in the covered section of the

dispenser

Is the cycle complete? Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary. Is the bottom rack installed properly with the bumpers (on

some models) in the front? Refer to the "Parts and Features" section. Reinstall the rack if necessary.

White residue on the front of the access panel

Was too much detergent used? Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section.

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.

Odor in the dishwasher Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle

once or twice a day until you have a full load. Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar

rinse as described in "Spotting and filming on dishes" later in this Troubleshooting guide.

Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)

Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter.

Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.

Dishes are not completely clean

• Food soil left on the dishes Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the "Dishwasher

Loading" section. Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing

results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips" section.

Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/ or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Do you have hard water? You may need to increase the amount of detergent you are using. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Also, you may need to switch to a detergent with a phosphorus content of 8.7%.

Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.

Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and

cans?

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.

Spots and stains on dishes

• Spotting and filming on dishes

Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips" section.

Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/ or hard water generally require extra detergent.

NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy saving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items.

2. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack.

3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will

mix with the wash water.

Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow- colored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by some

combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to avoid the problem, except by hand washing.

To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and underload the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do not use heated drying.

• White spots on cookware with nonstick finish Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware

seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the dishwasher.

• Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes

using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use

detergent. Follow with a normal wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, the

installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

• Black or gray marks on dishes Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing?

Disposable aluminum items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.

• Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed

in the dishwasher? Stains gradually fade over time. Regular use of heated drying will slow fading. Stains will not affect dishwasher performance. Regular use of a rinse cycle and an air-dry or energy-saving dry option will reduce the likelihood of staining.

Dishes do not dry completely

• Dishes are not dry Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water

drainage? Do not overload. Refer to the "Dishwasher Loading" section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying.

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying. Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the "Rinse Aid

Dispenser" section. Did you use an air-dry option? Use a heated drying option for

dryer dishes.

Dishes are damaged during a cycle

• Chipping of dishes

washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and out slowly.

NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic

dishwashing. Wash by hand.

Noises

• Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds A hard object has entered the wash module (on some

models). When the object is ground up, the sound should stop. If the noise persists after a complete cycle, call for service.

Dishwasher exterior is dirty or marked

• Marks, smudges or residue on dishwasher exterior Did you clean the dishwasher with a mild detergent and cloth

or use a stainless steel cleaner on models with a stainless steel exterior? In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp

cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking fresh and clean. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a

stainless steel cleaner is recommended.
