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 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
This is the safety alert symbol.
"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 hew 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 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 net 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 to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

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 appro-
priate 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.
a 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.
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 protected from the elements.
Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve.
Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing
Your Dishwasher" in the "Dishwasher Care" 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 comprete information.

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 heavy-duty grinder that acts as a food disposer to grind
and dispose of large food particles.
• An ULTRA WASH sensor to monitor soil level and adjust the
cycles as needed.
• An Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) that ensures the
proper water temperature for the selected wash cycle, and
soil level of the load.
How the ULTRA WASH soil removal system works
1. Load the dishwasher. Remove bones, large chunks or
burned-on food. No rinsing is necessary. Any remaining food
soil will be ground up and disposed down the drain with the
rinse water•
2. Hot water fills the dishwasher to a level near the bottom of
the overfill protection float.
3. The Heating indicator glows, and the countdown pauses
while the water is heated.
4. When the water reaches the proper temperature, the Heating
indicator turns off and the cycle countdown resumes.
5. Detergent from the detergent dispenser is dispensed at the
correct cycle times and hot water is pumped through the
ULTRA WASH pump.
6. Hot water and detergent sprays against the soiled surfaces of
the load and removes food particles.
7. Food soil is held in an accumulating chamber.
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.
1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher Loading.")
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
\
3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse
aid if needed. (See "Dishwasher Use.")
8. Food soil is disposed down the drain with the wash water.
9. Fresh, hot water enters the dishwasher and sprays on the
dishes. The rinse water is then pumped through the
ULTRA WASH soil removal system and remaining soil
is removed.
10. The food soil that is held in the ULTRA WASH soil removal
system isdisposed down the drain with the rinse water.
11. The final rinse water is heated. The rinse aid is added to the
water for the final rinse to prepare the dishes for drying.
How the ULTRA WASH Sensor and the Automatic
Temperature Control (ATC) work
1. The SENSING indicator glows when the ULTRA WASH
Sensor is measuring the amount of soil in the dishwasher.
2. After the soil level isdetermined, unnecessary portions of the
cycle are skipped. When this happens, the electronic display
pauses or skips numbers as it counts down. This is normal.
3. The ATC adjusts the water temperature throughout the cycle
depending upon the soil level detected. Higher water
temperatures are used to improve cleaning with heavier
soiled loads.
4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run
hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water
is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water.

5. Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See
"Dishwasher Use.") Press START.
