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
ADANGER
AWARNING
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
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
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 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.

equipment-grounding conductor can resuit in a
risk of eiectric shock. Check with a quaiified
eiectrician or service representative if you are in
doubt whether the dishwasher is properiy
grounded. Do not modify the piug provided with
the dishwasher; if it wiii not fit the outiet, have a
proper outiet instaiied by a quaiified eiectrician.
For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a
grounded metai, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminai or iead on the
dishwasher.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.

ULTRA WASH®"^ FILTRATION SYSTEM
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes
water and energy consumption while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter
will require maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.
■ The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles out of the pump.
■ The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.
Upper FilterAssembly
Lower Filter
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■ Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.
■ There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes).
■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
Removing and maintaining the filters is very easy. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Building up of white residue on your
dishwasher indicates hard water. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on removing
spots and stains, see “Troubleshooting” section.
Filter Removal Instructions
1. Turn the Upper Filter Assembly Va turn counterclockwise and lift out.
2. Grasp the Lower Filter in the circular opening, lift slightly, and pull forward to remove.

To remove Upper Filter Assembly
Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If
you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard
water, a soft brush may be required.
Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the Lower Filter under the Locating Tabs in the
bottom of the dishwasher so the round opening for the Upper Filter Assembly lines up
with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.
2. Insert the Upper Filter Assembly into the circular opening in the Lower Filter.
3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place. Continue to rotate until the
filter is locked into place. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to
turn the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.
NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow does not have to align with the arrow in the
Lower Filter as long as the filter is locked.
To replace Upper Filter Assembly
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the ULTRA WASH®”^^ filters properly
installed. Be sure the Lower Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked into place. If the Upper Filter
Assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
DISHWASHER EFFICIENCY TIPS
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher 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.
Additional efficiency tips
■ To save water, energy and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utility providers 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.
DETERGENT AND RINSE AID
IMPORTANT:
Use only automatic dishwashing detergent. Hand
dishwashing detergent will produce excessive suds and
overflow out of the dishwasher.
Recommended Detergent Amount
Add recommended amount of detergent to each
compartment as shown and close the detergent lid.

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.
Filling the dispenser
The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under most
conditions this will last 1 to 3 months.
1. Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.
2. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to
FULL. Do not overfill.
3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled rinse aid can
create excessive suds.
4. Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is
completely opened.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water
conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If
you have hard water and notice calcium buildup (water
spots) on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting.
If you notice foam in your dishwasher, use a lower setting.
Lock
*Full pre-wash compartment contains 7 tsp (35 mL), and full
main wash compartment contains 9 tsp (45 mL).
Premeasured Detergents
Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel
packs, tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for
all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured
detergents in the main compartment and close the lid.
IMPORTANT:
Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S.
gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and
make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results.
You may bring your water samples to Sears to check
hardness level.

To adjust the setting
1. Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.
2. Turn the arrow inside the dispenser to the desired setting.
3. Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.

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.
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” section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.
ilrciiri Air IjCip
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap
between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air
gap when your dishwasher is not draining well.
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
20
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your
dishwasher. 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
If your dishwasher is not in use during the summer months, turn off the water
supply and power supply to the dishwasher.
Storing for the winter

NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.
If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME.
Be sure the door is closed and latched.
Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at
the back of the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and
latched.
Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information.”)
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped.
If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for
service.
Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may
be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.
Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.
Be sure the cycle has completed (green or blue light is on). If it has not completed, you will
need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
Avoid possible water damage to your home and dishwasher 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
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:
■ To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that
typically run for up to 3 hours.
■ A water heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is best, the dishwasher will delay longer while
heating cooler water.
■ Some options will add time to the cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information” section.)
The Smart Dry option adds '/2 hour.
Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a
porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the Smart Dry option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this
guide.)
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items
when unloading.
■ Unload the bottom rack first.
■ Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
21
PROBLEM SOLUTION
WILL NOT FILL Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float is free from obstructions. (See “Parts and Features.”)
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not
operate properly or may not fill with water. (See “DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN DISHWASHER/
CYCLE NOT COMPLETE” in “Troubleshooting.”)
WATER REMAINS IN THE
TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN
HARD WATER
(WHITE RESIDUE ON
DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR
GLASSWARE)
Be sure the cycle has completed (the green or blue light is on). If it has not, you will need to
resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been
removed from the disposer inlet.
Check for kinks in the drain hose.
Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer.
Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and
make it difficult to achieve good cleaning. You may bring water samples to Sears to check
your water hardness level. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is 15
grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:
Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month.
Clean the ULTRA WASH®^^ filters at least once per month.
Always use a rinse aid.
Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent.
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.
ODORS NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load
daily until a full load is ready to run, or use the Top Rack Only option (on some models) for
partial loads.
Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in
an upright glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Smart Dry
option turned off. Do not use detergent.
The dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See “WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL
NOT DRAIN” in “Troubleshooting.”)
NOISY NOTES:
■ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is
■ Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.
■ A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the

ON DISHES
DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN
DISHWASHER/CYCLE NOT
COMPLETE
DID NOT SANITIZE
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the
washing performance. (See “Loading for Best Performance”).
Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See “Cleaning Instructions”
in “ULTRA WASH®^^ Filtration System” for details.)
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots & Pans cycle with the
TURBOZONE™ (on some models) option can be used for tougher loads.
Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled
loads and hard water conditions.
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading. (Do not prerinse.)
If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not
operate properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as dish detergent for hand washing
dishes, laundry detergent, or hand soap.
■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
Call for service.
When the Sani Rinse option is selected, a text message in the display will indicate whether
the “Cycle Completed — Sanitized Complete” or “Cycle Complete — Sanitization was
Incomplete.”
“Dishes Clean — Sanitization was Incomplete” may contain an additional text message to
“See More Info” button or “Exit” button when the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was
interrupted in the final rinse, or the temperature for your water heater is set too low. Set
your water heater temperature to 120°F (49°C). When sanitized, the “Cycle Completed —
Sanitized Complete” stays in the lower part of the display until the door is re-latched.
DAMAGE TO DISHWARE
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED
DISHWARE (AND HARD
WATER SOLUTION)
Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading
instructions within this guide.)
NOTES:
■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
■ Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes.
If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and
rinse aid. (See “HARD WATER [WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR
GLASSWARE] in “Troubleshooting.”) If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see
below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
■ Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware
and metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the
lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Smart Dry option turned off. No detergent is
needed.
23
PROBLEM SOLUTION
ETCHING (PERMANENT This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of:
CLOUDINESS) water that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing.
Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is
permanently damaged. To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the
water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming
water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
LEAKING WATER Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only
detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try
another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid
overfilling.
TUB IS DISCOLORED NOTES:
■ High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
■ Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
