messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” mean:

DANGER WARNING

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.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

■■ Install where dishwasher is sheltered from the elements.

Avoid possible rupture of fill valve from freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See the “Vacation or Extended Time Without Use” section.

■■ 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.

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.

START-UP/QUICK REFERENCE

Ultra WashHE 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 the “Ultra Wash™ HE Filtration System” section for information on removing and maintaining the filters.

Drying – Rinse aid is essential

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

SLIDE

1 Hour Wash – When you need fast results

High Efficiency dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. When you need fast results, the 1 Hour Wash will clean your dishes using more water and energy. For improved drying, select the Heated Dry option to add additional time to dry.

SmartWash® HE Cycle

SmartWash® HE provides improved results using only the amount of water and energy needed. The SmartWash® HE and Pots/Pans cycles are recommended for tough soil.

Press START every time you add a dish

To start and resume a cycle,

press START/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds. If the door is not

closed within 4 seconds, the

Start button LED will flash, an audible tone will sound, and the cycle will not start.

IMPORTANT: After a cycle is started (even during the Delay Hours), if the door is opened longer than 4 seconds, the LEDs will flash to signal that you must press the Start button again to resume the cycle.

Detergent Dosing

It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See the “Detergent and Rinse Aid” section to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness. High quality dishwasher detergent tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents to reduce filming on your dishes.

Easy to Remove Third Level Rack

If additional space is needed in the upper rack, the third level rack can easily be removed.

To remove, fully extend

 

rack until it stops. Then,

 

open the track stops on

A. Track stop B. Track

each side and slide the

 

rack out to remove.

 

Low profile items such

as serving utensils and silverware may be loaded on the third level rack.

ULTRA WASHHE 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 Ultra Wash™HE filters will require maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.

The triple filtration 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 filter assembly

Lower filter

In order to provide optimum cleaning performance, we suggest monthly filter maintenance by removing and inspecting both the upper and the lower filter for any soils. Based on your dishwashing habits, cleaning of the filters may be required more or less often than what is indicated in the chart below.

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 are 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. Buildup 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 the “Troubleshooting” section.

Filter Removal

1. Turn the upper filter assembly ¼ turn counterclockwise and lift out.

2. Grasp the lower filter in the circular opening, lift slightly, and pull forward

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™HE 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

Add Detergent

SLIDE

Premeasured Detergents

High quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance.

Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. They are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in the main compartment and slide the lid closed.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the complete owner's manual for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.

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.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types.

Add Rinse Aid

SLIDE

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The use of rinse aid greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. Rinse aid also keeps 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.

Rinse Aid Setting

Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results. If you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting. If you notice foam in your dishwasher, use a lower setting.

To adjust the setting:

Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid.
