DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages inthis 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 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 unlessthey are marked "dishwasher safe" orthe equivalent. For plastic

items not so marked, check the manufacturer's

recommendations.

• Do not touch the heating element during or

immediately after use.

SAVETHESE 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. 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.

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 ifyou 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.

i 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.

ElectricalShockHazard

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" 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

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.

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 fils the dishwasher to a level near the bottom of the overfill protection float.

3. The HEATING indicator glows and the dishwasher 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 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.

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. Or press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.

DISHWASHER

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard

items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them into the 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 let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.

Damage can occur.

• 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.

• 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 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.

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 sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

L©a@ng 'bp

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

10 place setting

12 place setting

Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and

draining.

Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not

designed for glasses. Damage can occur.

Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing

them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots. China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each

other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items

marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.

Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move

them during the cycle. To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the

top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded

with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

10 place setting

• Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are

secured in place.

• Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing inward to the spray.

• Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls

because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take

the basket out for loading on a counter or table. NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks

to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

• Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold

small items in place.

• Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of your silverware.

• This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the bottom rack in several locations. Load silverware in all

sections or just one, depending upon your load.

• When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting.

Spray cannot reach nested items.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.

12 place setting

• Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

• Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

• Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet

opening.

NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.

To remove a small basket

1. Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding

slots.

2. Pull the baskets apart.

NOTES:

• DO not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

• Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

DISHWASHER USE

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

1. Cover

2. Main Wash section

3. Cover latch

4. Pre-Wash section

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Charts.")

• 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 a 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 is closed, open the cover by pushing

the Cover latch.

2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How Much

Detergent to Use."

3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed.

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 Charts" 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. If you use too little, dishes won't be clean. If you 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 phosphorus 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 higher than 8.7%.

Water Hardness Amount of Detergent

Soft to Medium For normally soiled loads

Hard Water • Fill the Main Wash section to the 0 to 6 grains per top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)

gallon • Fill the Pre-Wash section to the

top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)

if needed

NOTE: Add only 1 tb or 15 g of detergent to both sections if dishes are pre-rinsed or the water is very soft (0 to 2 grains per gallon).

For heavily soiled loads

• Fill the Main Wash section to the top of the 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)

• Fill the Pre-Wash section to the top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)

Medium to Hard Water

7 to 12 grains per gallon

NOTE: Fill amounts 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.

For normally soiled and heavily soiled loads

• Fill the Main Wash section to the top of the 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)

• Fill the Pre-Wash section to the top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)

if needed

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.

Checking the dispenser Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs filling.

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 should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the

faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.

Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. If an "E" is visible, the dispenser is empty.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 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 completely open.

2. Remove the Fill Indicator cap.

3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.

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

5. Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

To check water temperature

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

• To save water, energy and time, 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 a normal cycle.

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

Ifyour home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash performance.

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.

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

Wooden Ware No

Wash by hand. Always check manufacturer's instructions before

washing. Untreated wood can warp, crack, or lose its finish.

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn't draining wee

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 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 reference the service numbers located on the back page of this

manual. 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.

• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try 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

Charts."

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 itself within 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 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 in the

front? Refer to the "Parts and Features" section. Reinstall the rack if necessary.

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. Never use less than 1tb (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? If you wash bottles and cans in your dishwasher, check for labels clogging the pump or spray arm.

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.
