Dishwasher Safety
Your safety and the safety of others is 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 hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or
"WARNING." These words mean:
You _ be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
You _ be kilied or seriously Injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 or dish racks
of the dishwasher.
,,To reduce the risk of injury, do notallow children to play
in or on the dishwasher.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced 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 min-
utes. 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 to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

The ULTRA WASH* Soil Removal System
Your dishwasher's new ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System is designed to give you sparkling clean dishes in
the shortest amount of time with the least amount of
energy necessary. The ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System includes a heavy duty grinder that acts as a food
disposer to grind and dispose of large food particles.
Here's how the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System works:
1. When you load the dishwasher, all you need to do is
remove bones, large chunks, or burned-on food. Any
remaining food will be ground up and disposed.
2. Hot water fills the dishwasher to a level near the bot-
tom of the overfill protector.
3. Detergent is added at the correct times from the deter-
gent dispenser, and hot water is pumped through the
ULTRA WASH pump.
4. Food particles are removed from dishes, pots and
pans, tableware, and cutlery as the dishwasher sprays
a mixture of hot water and detergent through two
spray arms against their soiled surfaces.
5. Food soil in the dishwasher is held in an accumulating
chamber so it does not recirculate into the dishwasher.
6. Water is pumped again through the ULTRA WASH
pump to remove soil particles from the water, and
"hold" them in the accumulating chamber.
7. Soil in the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal System is
disposed down the drain with the wash water.
8. Fresh, hot water enters the dishwasher, sprays on the
dishes to rinse them, and the rinse water is pumped
through the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal System to
remove any remaining soil.
9. Soil that is held in the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System is disposed down the drain with the
rinse water.
10. Final rinse water is heated and a rinse agent is added
to prepare the dishes for drying.

Start Up Guide
Before using your dishwasher
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.
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
I
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.
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-ground-
ing terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Starting your dishwasher for everyday loads
Here is an overview for loading and running your dish-
washer. Refer to the noted pages for more details of
each step.

to remove food particles from the wash and rinse
water. Remove only large chunks of food and bones
from your dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher Iml. Make sure nothing
prevents the spray arms from spinning freely []. See
pages 7 and 8.
3. Add detergent [] and check the rinse agent dis-
penser. Add rinse agent if needed I'_!1. See pages 9
and 10.
4. Push door firmly closed []. The door latches automat-
ically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwash-
er until water is hot []. Turn off water. See page 10.
5. Press the desired Cycle and Options selections [].

If you prefer, you can set the Timer knob with the door
unlatched.
