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

WARNING : When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

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, 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. 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.

HYDROGEN GAS IS

ihwasher

AWARNING

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.

AWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher. Connect ground wire to green ground connector

in terminal box.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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” 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 complete 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 (АТС) that ensures the proper water temperature for the selected wash cycle, and soil level of the load.

How the smartwash^'^ wash cycle works

When the smartwash'^'^ cycle is selected, it saves energy and water by adjusting the wash cycle as needed.

■ Sensors detect the size of the dish load, the soil level, and the water temperature in the dishwasher.

■ Sensors automatically adjust the temperature and the amount of water used for the load.

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. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.

2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)

from dishes.

3. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)

Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the

soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

4. Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. (See

“Dishwasher Use.”)

5. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.

6. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.

Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

DISHWASHER LOADING

8. Press START/RESUME, or press START/RESUME to repeat

the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.

IMPORTANT: The Start/Resume light will flash if the door is

opened during a cycle. Power interruptions during a cycle may also cause the Start/Resume light to flash. Press START/ RESUME to continue a cycle.

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water and energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

NOTE: Prerinsing dishes soiled with tomato-based products

is recommended to avoid staining the dishware. The wash module removes food particles from the water. The

module contains a triple action filtration system that intermittently filters soil from the water.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells

enter the wash module, you might hear grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur.

For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces. Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if

possible. Use special care when loading heavy pots and pans. Heavy

items can damage the interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

■ Conserve water and energy and save time over hand rinsing by running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.

■ Place items so open ends face down for best cleaning and draining.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

■ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm(s).

■ Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during

dishwasher operation to avoid noise transfer through drains.

The top rack is designed for cups, giasses, and smaiier items.

Many items, up to 11" (28 cm), fit in the top rack. (See

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a iiquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatiy improves drying by aiiowing water to

drain from the dishes after the finai rinse. They aiso keep water from forming dropiets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a soiid or bar-type rinse aid.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser hoids 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under normai conditions, this wiii iast for about 1 to 3 months.

Make sure the dishwasher door is fuiiy open.

Turn the dispenser knob to “Open” and iift it out.

4. Ciean up any spiiied rinse aid with a damp cioth.

5. Piace the knob back into the opening and turn to the “Lock” position.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid reieased into the finai rinse can be adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 wiii give good resuits, if you have hard water or notice rings or caicium spots on your giasses or dishes, try a higher setting.

For best dishwashing resuits, water shouid be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as weii if the water temperature is too iow. Water that is too hot can make some soiis harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function, if your water heater is iocated far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the faucet ciosest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of coid water in the water iine.

To adjust the setting

1. Remove the dispenser knob.

2. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting by either using your fingers or inserting a fiat-biade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

3. Repiace the dispenser knob.

To check water temperature

1. Run hot water at the faucet ciosest to your dishwasher for at ieast 1 minute.

2. Piace a candy or meat thermometer in a giass measuring cup.

3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

Additional efficiency tips

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

Use a deiay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Locai utiiities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buiidup in the kitchen.

Use a rinse aid to improve drying. Use cycies or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse

portion of the cycie oniy when needed. if your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want

to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.

Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START/

RESUME to use the same cycle and options as the previous

cycle.

NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, the

dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and options that you selected when you press START/RESUME.

Pots Pans

Use this cycle for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware.

Use both detergent dispenser sections.

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. 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.

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.

See the vinegar rinse procedure In “Spotting and filming on dishes” In “Troubleshooting.”

NOTE: Run a normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the

Interior.

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher Isn’t draining well.

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a bullt-ln dishwasher and the home drain system. If a house drain Is clogged, the drain air gap protects your dishwasher from water backing up Into It.

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. Follow the cleaning Instructions provided by the manufacturer. 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

Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

Winterizing your dishwasher

Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage 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.

Dishwasher seems to run too long

Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The dishwasher runs longer while heating water. Refer to the

“Dishwasher Efficiency Tips” section. A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles

until the water reaches the proper temperature.

Water remains in the dishwasher

Is the cycle complete?

Detergent remains in the covered section of the dispenser

Is the cycle complete?

Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary.

Is the bottom rack installed properly with the bumpers (on some models) in the front? Refer to the “Parts and Features” section. Reinstall the rack if necessary.

White residue on the front of the access panel

Was too much detergent used? Refer to the “Detergent Dispenser” section.

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.

Odor in the dishwasher

Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle once or twice a day until you have a full load.

Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar rinse as described in “Spotting and filming on dishes” later in this Troubleshooting guide.

Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)

Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.

Dishes are not completely clean

Food soil left on the dishes

Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the “Dishwasher Loading” section.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips” section.

Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the “Detergent Dispenser” section. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/ or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Do you have hard water? You may need to increase the amount of detergent you are using. Refer to the “Detergent Dispenser” section. Also, you may need to switch to a detergent with a phosphorus content of 8.7%.

Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.

Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and cans?

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.

Spots and stains on dishes

Spotting and filming on dishes

Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips” section.

Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the “Detergent Dispenser” section. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/ or hard water generally require extra detergent.

NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white

vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy saving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items.

2. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or

dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack.

3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle

using an air-dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbowcolored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to avoid the problem, except by hand washing.

To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and underload the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do not use heated drying.

White spots on cookware with nonstick finish

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the dishwasher.

Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior

Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a normal wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, the installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

Black or gray marks on dishes

Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing? Disposable aluminum items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.

Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior

Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher? Stains gradually fade over time. Regular use of heated drying will slow fading. Stains will not affect dishwasher performance. Regular use of a rinse cycle and an air-dry or energy-saving dry option will reduce the likelihood of staining.

Dishes do not dry completely

Dishes are not dry

Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water drainage? Do not overload. Refer to the “Dishwasher Loading” section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying.

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying. Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the “Rinse Aid

Dispenser” section. Did you use an air-dry option? Use a heated drying option for

dryer dishes.

Dishes are damaged during a cycle

Chipping of dishes

Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and out slowly.

NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of

china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic dishwashing. Wash by hand.

Noises

Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds

A hard object has entered the wash module (on some models). When the object is ground up, the sound should stop. If the noise persists after a complete cycle, call for service.

Dishwasher exterior is dirty or marked

Marks, smudges or residue on dishwasher exterior

Did you clean the dishwasher with a mild detergent and cloth or use a stainless steel cleaner on models with a stainless steel 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 fresh and clean. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.
