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

'_VARNING," These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously Injured if you don't
follow Instructions,

You can be killed 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 usingthe 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 unlessthey 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 not been
used for such a period, before usingthe 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 isflammable,
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.

BeforeUsingYourDishwasher

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.

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 isequipped with a cord havingan
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 isproperly
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

!

i

• 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

"Caring for Your Dishwasher" 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.

ULTRAWASH*Soil

RemovalSystem

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 rinsingis 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 Water Heating indicator glows, and the dishwasher
pauses while the water is heated.

4. When the water reaches the proper temperature, the

Water Heating indicator turns off and the cycle

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.

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 rinsewater isthen pumped through the
ULTRA WASH soil removal system and remaining soil is

removed.

1O.The food soil that is held in the ULTRA WASH soil

removal system is disposed 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,

3.

After the soil level is determined, unnecessary portions
of the cycle are skipped.

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.

START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all hang tags,

temporary labels, and packaging materials. Read this

entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety
information and useful operating tips.

UsingYourNewDishwasher

1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or

bones) from dishes.

2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Loading Your
Dishwasher.") 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 "Using Your Dishwasher.")

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
"Using Your Dishwasher.") Press START.

LOADING YOUR

DISHWASHER

LoadingSuggestions

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes, it is not necessary to rinse
the dishes before putting them inthe dishwasher.The
wash module removes food particles from the water.
The module contains a chopping device which will

reduce the size of food items.

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

shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping,

grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds
are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not lel
metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the

wash module. Damage can occur.

Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or
inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all

soiled surfaces.
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if

possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain
from all surfaces.

Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can

dent the stainless steel 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.

Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not
plan to wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta,
spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if
they are left to dry over a period of time.

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.

• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sinkdrain plugs closed

during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer
through drains.

USINGYOUR

DISHWASHER

DetergentDispenser

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections, The smaller Pre-

Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when
you close the door.

1. Main wash section

2. Cover latch

3. Pre-wash section

4. Cover

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties

detergent into the dishwasher during the wash.

Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other
detergents can produce excessive suds that can
overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing

performance.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place.

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1. If the dispenser cover isclosed, open the cover by
rotating the cover latch.

2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "Flow

Much Detergent to Use."

3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-

Wash section.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing

detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use

only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the

"Cycle Selection Chart" for more details.

How Much Detergent to Use

• The amount of detergent to use depends on the
hardness of your water and the type of detergent. Ifyou
use too little, dishes won't be clean. Ifyou use too

much in soft water, glassware will etch.
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find

out your water's hardness by asking your local water
department, water softener company, or county
extension agent.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different

amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If you

have hard water and use a detergent with a
phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might
need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a
phosphorous content higherthan 8.7%.

section.

NOTE: Fillamounts shown are for standard powdered

detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or
concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructions on

the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or

concentrated powdered detergent.

RinseAidDispenser

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by

allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final
rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the
rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid
rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 5.2 oz (153.7 mL) of rinse
aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three

months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is
empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to
overfill it.

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2. Turn the dispenser knob to OPEN and lift it out.

3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn it to CLOSED.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be

adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For most water
conditions set the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or
calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.

o000o......1

To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser knob, then turn the adjuster inside
the dispenser to the desired setting.

DishwasherEfficiencyTips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and

helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results,

water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the
dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water
temperature is too low.

To check water temperature

1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher

for at least I minute.

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass
measuring cup.

3. Check the temperature on'the thermometer as the

water is running into the cup.

If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F
(49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's

thermostat setting.

To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before

putting them into the dishwasher.
Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever

possible. These cycles use less hot water and energy

than the Normal cycle.

Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your
dishwasher during off-peak hours. Loca! utilities

recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain
times of day.

During the summer, run your dishwasher at night to

reduce daytime heat buildup.
Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option

whenever possible. Allow longer drying times

(overnight) when using these options. Use a rinse aid to
improve drying.

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash
or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.

Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle

after meals until the dishwasher is full.

CARING FOR YOUR

DISHWASHER

CleaningYourDishwasher

Cleaning the exterior

In most cases, regular use of a soft, clamp cloth or sponge
and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the
outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on
the inside surfaces, especiatty 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.
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."

NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning
the interior.

2O

DrainAirGap

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 built-in dishwasher and the
home drain system. If a 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
call 1-800-366-7278 and 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.

StoringYourDishwasher

Stodng for the summer

Protect your dishwasher duringthe summer months by

turning off the water supply and power supply to the

dishwasher.

Moving or 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 a qualified person do the following:

1. Disconnect power supply to the dishwasher.

2. Turn off water supply to the dishwasher.

3. Remove the 4 screws on the lower access panel.
Remove the lower access panel.

4. Place a shallow pan under the water supply valve.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Firsttry the solutions suggested, here and

possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

Dishwasher is not operating properly

• Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle

Is the door closed tightly and latched?
Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the =Cycle Selection

Chart."

is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse
blown or circuit breaker tripped?

Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor
automatically resets itselfwithin a few minutes. If it does
not restart, call for service.

Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?

• Dishwasher will not fill
Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down

freely? Press down to release.

• Dishwasher seems to run too long
Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The

dishwasher runs longerwhile 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

Isthe cycle complete?
Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent 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 counter top? 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

l

Food soil left on the dishes
Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the
"Loading Your Dishwasher" section.

Isthe water temperature too low? If needed, turn home

water heater upto ensure water entering dishwasher is
at least 120°F (49°C). 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. Never use tess than 1 tb
(15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective.
Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or
hard water generally require extra detergent.

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? Remove labels before washing bottles and

cans or wash by hand.

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. A
booster pump on the water supply can be added if
pressure is too low.

Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Never 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? If needed, turn home

water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is
at least 120°F (49°C). 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. Never use less than

1 tb (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be

effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil

and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

22

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. A
booster pump on the water supply can be added if
pressure is too low.

NOTE: Toremove 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 (473 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 or an energy saving dry option.
Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash

water.

• Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-

colored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there isa 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 prevent the problem, except by hand
washing.

To slow this process use a minimum amount of

detergent but not less than 1 tb (15 g) 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 non-stick 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 clown 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 =Loading Your
Dishwasher" section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed
drying.

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.

Isthe rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the "Rinse Aid

Dispenser" section.

Didyou use an air-dry or energy-saving 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 sothey are stable and do notstrike 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). The sound should stop when the object is
ground up,
