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 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 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, 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.

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 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.

START-UP / QUICK REFERENCE
ULTRA WASH®HE removable filters provide peak performance.
The triple filter system has a Coarse Filter to keep oversized items and foreign objects out of the pump, a Fine Filter to keep food from being recirculated onto your dishware, and a Micro Filter to capture very fine food particles.
See “ULTRA
WASH® HE FILTRATION SYSTEM” for information on removing and maintaining the filters.
IMPORTANT: Do not block detergent dispenser.
Tall items placed in the lower rack may block the dispenser door. Cookie sheets and cutting boards loaded on the left-hand side of the dishwasher can easily block the dispenser. If detergent is inside of the dispenser or on the bottom of the tub after the cycle is complete, the dispenser was blocked.

1 Hour Wash - When you need fast results.
To save water and energy, High Efficiency dishwashers use advanced filtration which may result in longer cycle times (in some cases over 2 hours). When you need fast results, the 1 Hour Wash will clean your dishes using slightly more water and energy. For improved drying, select the Heated Dry option, adding ½ hour.
SmartWash®HE cycle |
Optical soil sensors are used in the cycle to provide optimal energy and water consumption based on load size, soil amount and toughness of soil. The sensors also automatically calibrate throughout the life of your dishwasher to maintain cleaning performance based on your water conditions.
TurboZoneTM loading
When the TurboZoneTM option is selected, it provides a concentrated wash on the back of the lower dish rack for hard-to-clean dishes.
Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.
You must use rinse aid for good drying performance. (Fill dispenser with the entire sample included.) Rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the dishwasher interior.

*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will eliminate the water and energy that you use preparing your dishes. This will also save you time and effort.
Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher indicates hard water. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on removing spots and stains, see “Troubleshooting” section.

To replace Upper Filter Assembly
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the ULTRA WASH® HE filters properly installed. Be sure the Lower Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked into place. If the Upper Filter Assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
DISHWASHER EFFICIENCY TIPS
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher 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.
Additional efficiency tips
■To save water, energy and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
■Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utility providers 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 a rinse aid to improve drying.

Premeasured Detergents
Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in the main cup and close the lid.
IMPORTANT:
Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level.

Full
BETTER DRYING
Lock
Add
Refill
IMPORTANT:
Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
Filling the dispenser
The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under most conditions this will last 1 to 3 months.
1.Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.
2.Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to FULL. Do not overfill.
3.Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.
4.Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is completely opened.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting.

Fold-Down Tines
You can fold down one row of tines at the back of the bottom rack in order to accommodate larger dishware.
Keep this tine row in the upper position when using the TURBOZONETM option.
IMPORTANT: When moving tine row to the flat position, fold only the tine row toward the front of the dishwasher.
Knife Holder
To load knives that are too large for the silverware basket, use the knife holder located on the left-hand side of the bottom rack. Place knives in the holder as shown.
Splittable Silverware Basket
Your new silverware basket can be split into three segments.
Removing one section will increase your capacity in the TURBOZONETM loading area.
You can remove the covered side baskets to place in the top rack for the Top Rack Only option. Use for small delicate items such as baby bottle caps, nipples and small baking utensils, etc.
Loading Silverware
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to better clean your silverware.
Use the slots in the covers to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash. (See illustration, right.)
NOTE: If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, flip the covers up and mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons as illustrated, for best cleaning results.

DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning
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. You may want to 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” section. |
|
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the |
|
interior. |
Drain Air Gap
|
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap |
|
between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air |
|
gap when your dishwasher is not draining well. |
|
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. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic |
|
cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary. |
|
|
|
Storing |
Storing for the summer |
If your dishwasher is not in use during the summer months, turn off the water |
|
supply and power supply to the dishwasher. |
|
|
Storing for the winter |
Avoid possible water damage to your home and dishwasher 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. |

CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG |
NOTES: |
|
|
■ To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that |
|
|
typically run for up to 3 hours. |
|
|
■ A water heater setting of 120°F (49ºC) is best, the dishwasher will delay longer while |
|
|
heating cooler water. |
|
|
■ Some options will add time to the cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information” |
|
|
section.) The Heated Dry option adds ½ hour. |
|
|
Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle. |
|
|
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle. |
|
|
|
|
DISHWASHER NOT |
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a |
|
DRYING |
porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. |
|
|
Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying. |
|
|
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this |
|
|
guide.) |
|
|
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other |
|
|
items when unloading. |
|
|
■ Unload the bottom rack first. |
|
|
■ Load these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results. |
|

hardness is 15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps |
|
|
|
may help: |
|
|
|
Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month. |
|
|
|
Clean the ULTRA WASH® HE filters at least once per month. |
|
|
|
Always use a rinse aid. |
|
|
|
Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent. |
|
|
|
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers. |
|

|
ODORS |
NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a Quick Rinse cycle with the |
|
|
|
partial load daily until a full load is ready to run, or use the Top Rack Only option (on |
|
|
|
some models) for partial loads. |
|
|
|
Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar |
|
|
|
in an upright glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated |
|
|
|
Dry option turned off. Do not use detergent. |
|
|
|
The dishwasher may not be draining properly, see “WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/ |
|
|
|
WILL NOT DRAIN” in “Troubleshooting.” |

NOTES: |
|
|
|
■ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is |
|
|
|
draining. |
|
|
|
■ Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically. |
|
|
|
■ A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
|
cycle and when the door is opened at the end of the cycle. |
|
|
|
■ Improper installation will affect noise levels. |
|
|
|
Be sure the filters are properly installed. |
|
|
|
A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the |
|
|
|
wash arms. Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle. |

|
|
|
Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See “Cleaning |
|
|
|
Instructions” in “ULTRA WASH® HE Filtration System” for details.) |
|
|
|
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots Pans cycle with the |
|
|
|
TURBOZONETM option can be used for tougher loads. |
|
|
|
Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49ºC). |
|
|
|
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled |
|
|
|
loads and hard water conditions. |
|
|
|
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
DID NOT SANITIZE |
If the words “NOT SANITIZED” are shown on the Smart Display, the load is NOT |
|
|
|
sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final rinse, or your water heater is set too low. |
|
|
|
Set your water heater to 120ºF (49ºC). |
