ULTRA WASH® * removable filters provide peak performance.

Cleaning the filters periodically helps keep the dishwasher working at peak performance. The filters can be found at the bottom center of your dishwasher.

See “ULTRA WASH®'"^ FILTRATION SYSTEM” for information on removing and maintaining the filters.

IMPORTANT: Do not block detergent dispenser.

Tall items placed in the lower rack may block the dispenser door. Cookie sheets and cutting boards loaded on the left-hand side of the dishwasher can easily block the dispenser. If detergent is inside of the dispenser or on the bottom of the tub after the cycle is complete, the dispenser was blocked.

Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.

You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance (sample included). Rinse aid along with the Smart Dry option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the dishwasher interior.

Detergent Dosing

It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Detergent and Rinse Aid” to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness.

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.

Recommended time interval to clean your filter.

*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will eliminate the water and energy that you use preparing your dishes. This
will also save you time and effort.
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.
3.	If you have hard water, clean the filters at least once per month as shown below.

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

the

filter clockwise

until

it

Continue

to rotate until

the

filter is

to

turn the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow

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.

*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.

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

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.

High Temp

Raises the main wash temperature to improve cleaning. When used with the Normal Wash cycle this will provide a little extra tough cleaning capability, but not as much as the Pots Pans cycle.

Sani Rinse

This high temperature option sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance with National Sanitation Foundation (NSF)/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. The Sani indicator indicates at the end of the cycle whether the Sani Rinse option was successfully completed. If the indicator does not activate, it is probably due to the cycle being interrupted.

Smart Dry

Turns the heat element on with fan assist on at the end of the wash cycle. Use rinse aid with or without the Smart Dry option for best drying results. Plastic items are less likely to deform when loaded in the top dish rack.

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	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.

20

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	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
	CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY.
PROBLEM	SOLUTION

DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUN

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.

DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE DISPENSER OR TABLET IS ON BOTTOM OF TUB

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.

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.

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	Be sure the cycle has completed (the green or blue light is on). If it has not, you will need to

	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.
HARD WATER	NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral	deposits		can cause damage	to	your	dishwasher	and
(WHITE RESIDUE ON	make it difficult to achieve good cleaning.		You	may bring water samples to			Sears to	check
DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR	your water hardness level. A water	softener	is	strongly recommended	if	your	hardness	is 15
GLASSWARE)	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 draining.

■ Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.

■ A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.

■ Improper installation will affect noise levels. Be sure the filters are properly installed.

A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms. Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.

22

	PROBLEM	SOLUTION
	FOOD SOILS REMAIN	Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the
	ON DISHES	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.)
	DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN	If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not
	DISHWASHER/CYCLE NOT	operate properly or may not fill with water.
	COMPLETE	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.
	DID NOT SANITIZE	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	Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading
		instructions within this guide.)
	CLOUDY OR SPOTTED	NOTES:
	DISHWARE (AND HARD	■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
	WATER SOLUTION)
		■ 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.
