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.

Washing Drying Clean Sanitized

(,Ai %Aet' ,>o Renova System,s:'

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thetoprackis designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.

(See recommended loading patterns shown.) No-flip clips (on some models) NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown. 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.

10 place setting

12placesetting

• 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.

Cup shelves

Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of

the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such

as utensils and spatulas. NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those

shown below.

Adjustable 3-position top rack

You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top or bottom rack. Two adjusters are located on each side of the top

rack. Each adjuster has 3 preset positions. The high and low positions are marked on the adjuster.

To adjust the top rack

1. Hold the top rack with one hand near the adjuster.

2. With the other hand, pull out the top of the adjuster.

3. Raise or lower the rack to one of the preset positions.

4. Release the adjuster. Repeat the steps for the remaining adjusters as needed. The

4 adjusters can be raised or lowered separately or together. The

top rack does not have to be level.

Loadi" 9 Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

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

!0 place 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.

Fold-down tines

You can fold down one row of tines at the back of the bottom rack.

1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.

2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.

3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.

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.

• Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.

!2 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.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of your silverware. Load items using the slots with the covers down to avoid silverware nesting.

This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the bottom rack in several locations. Load silverware in all

sections or just one, depending upon your load. If your silverware basket does not have covers or when

covers are up, 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.

To remove a small basket

How much detergent to use

1. Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small

basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding slots.

/__

2. Pull the baskets apart.

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.

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

• The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. Ifyou 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.

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.

ns } Ad © speu se

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.

Checking the dispenser

Check the center of the fill indicator cap. Clear means it needs filling.

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.

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

Or you can remove the fill indicator cap. If an "E" is visible, the dispenser is empty.

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.

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. Ifyour 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.

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.

A "Q" shows what steps are in each cycle. Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters. This model meets the ENERGY STAR_ guidelines for energy

efficiency. IMPORTANT: Typical cycles may take several hours depending

on cycle selected and water temperature.

Washing Drying Clean Sanitized

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those

shown here.

Clean

Heated Dry

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 except Quick Rinse.

Lock On

Use the Lock On to prevent unintended use of the dishwasher. You can also use the lock feature to prevent 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 glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you press any button or close the door.

Sanitized

If you select the Sani Rinse option, Sanitized glows when the Sani Rinse cycle is finished. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or the incoming water temperature is too low. The light turns off when you press any

button or close the door.

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

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.

_o_ _i_ _

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. 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.

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

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.

Toclan the drain air ga

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 properly

• 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?

• 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.

Spotsandstainsondishes

• 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. 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. Ifyou have

questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

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 Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and

glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from 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.
