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 how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WAR NING: 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.
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 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
Install where dishwasher is sheltered from the elements. Avoid possible rupture of fill valve from freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See the "Vacation
or Extended Time Without Use" section.
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.

It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher.
This can lead to etching of your dishes. See "Detergent and Rinse Aid" to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness. Using high quality dishwasher
detergent tablets or packs have been proven better than powder, liquid or gel detergents to reduce filming on your
dishes.
ULTRACLEANTMFILTRATION SYSTEM
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy consumption while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require
maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance. The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.
The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles out of the pump.
The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.
Upper Filter

Lower Filter
In order to provide improved cleaning performance we suggest a monthly filter maintenance by removing and inspecting both the upper and the lower filter for any soils. Based on your dishwashing habits, cleaning of the filters may be required more or less often
than what is indicated in the chart below. The filters may need to be cleaned when:
Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.
There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes).
Dishes feel gritty to the touch. Removing and maintaining the filters is very easy. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.
Recommended time interval to clean your filter.

4-7 Once per year Once per year Every four months Once per month
1-3 Once per year Once per year Twice per year Every two months
*This is the manufacturer's recommendation: By only scraping your dishes before loading them you save considerable water, energy,
personal time and effort.
Very Hard Water If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Buildup of white residue on dishwasher surfaces
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.

Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT"Do not usewire brush,scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If
you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.
Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the Lower Filter under the Locating Tabs in the
bottom of the dishwasher so the round opening for the Upper Filter Assembly lines up
with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.
2. Insert the Upper Filter Assembly into the circular opening in the Lower Filter.
3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place. Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the
filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

360 ° POWERWASH ®
The 360 ° POWERWASH _ lower wash arm provides exceptional spray coverage and reaches further into corners.
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 dish washing 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.
DETERGENT AND RINSE AID
\\
-\\\\\
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse cycle. Do not use detergent.
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool,
dry place.
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 main compartment of the dispenser and slide lid to close.

Using high quality dishwasher detergent tablets or packs has been proven better than powder, liquid or gel detergents at
reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse
aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film.
Push OPEN, as shown, and the lid will slide open.
*The prewash compartment is on top of the sliding door of
the dispenser.
**A full main wash compartment contains 2 Tbsp. (30 ml) 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.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types.
10
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use 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.

To add rinse aid open the rinse dispenser lid by gently pushing in the center of the lid with your thumb and pulling
up on the edge.

Sani Rinse Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance
with NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard
184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the
requirements of the NSF/ANS1184 performance standard for soil removal and
for sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on
a NSF/ANS1184 certified dishwasher meet the NSF/ANS1184 performance standard for
soil removal and for sanitization efficacy. The Sani Rinse indicator indicates at the end
of the cycle whether the Sani Rinse option
was successfully completed. If the indicator does not activate, it is probably due to the
cycle being interrupted.

DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning the exterior
Cleaning the interior
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.
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 "Cloudy or spotted dishware" in "Troubleshooting" section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.
To help avoid hard water residue in your dishwasher, use affresh ®+dishwasher cleaner (recommended) once a month as part of routine maintenance, affresh ®dishwasher cleaner is effective in all dishwasher brands.
IMPORTANT:
Read these instructions and the instructions found on the affresh c_product package completely before beginning the cleaning process.
Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by filming/hard water).
Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser or in the bottom of the tub.
Select cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start dishwasher.
NOTE: Recommended to use a premeasured detergent tablet or pack for regular daily use.

CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING
NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle. If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME.
Be sure the door is closed and latched. Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the
back of the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and latched. Be sure you have selected a cycle. See "Cycles and Options Information."
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.
Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.
Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free. Be sure the cycle has completed (green light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to
resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME. 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 (49°C) 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 Smart Dry option adds 1/2 hour.
Try the Express Wash cycle. Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before selecting and starting the cycle.
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a 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.
