IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE 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.
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
SAVE THESE 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.
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.
WARNING

Clean EQ Wash System removable filters to maintain peak performance.
Cleaning the filters periodically helps keep the dishwasher working at peak performance. The filters can be found at the bottom center of your dishwasher.
See the “Filtration System” section 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.
Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.
ProWash™ cycle for optimal cleaning
The most advanced and versatile cycle. ProWash™ cycle senses the load size, soil amount, and toughness of soil, to adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning using only the amount of water and energy needed. The ProWash™ and Tough cycles are recommended for tough soil. No need to prerinse dishes; just scrape and load.
ProScrub® Option to clean baked-on food (some models)
When the ProScrub option is selected, it provides a concentrated wash on the back of the lower dish rack for hard-to-clean dishes. Place these dishes with the soiled surface of the dish toward the ProScrub

spray jets in the lower rack of the dishwasher.
The upper rack has two spray zones in the front corners to reach into deeper or oddly shaped items.
®
A. Back of dishwasher
You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance (sample included). Rinse aid along with the Heat Dry or ProDry™ option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the dishwasher interior.
Express Wash - When you need fast results.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. When you need fast results, the Express Wash will clean your dishes using slightly more water and energy. Select the Heat Dry or ProDry™ option to speed drying times (adds approximately 27 to 35 minutes to the Express Wash cycle)
.
Press START/RESUME every time you add a dish.
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such
as, for adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button must be pressed each time.
If the Start/Resume button is located on top of door: Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the Start/ Resume button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
Proper Detergent Dosing
It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Add Detergent” and “Add Rinse Aid” in the “Dishwasher Use” section, to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness.

arm(s) from spinning freely. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
Make sure that when the
dishwasher door is closed no items are blocking the detergent dispenser.
Items should be loaded with
soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and drying results.
Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load
dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
Improper loading can cause dishes to be chipped or damaged.
When loading glasses or mugs, it is best to load these items in between rows of tines instead of loading them over tines, as shown.
When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing
down. Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.
STEP 2
Add Detergent
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.
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads require more detergent.
The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) [typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water]
Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. Premeasured forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in the main compartment and close the lid.
Add Rinse Aid
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that
can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the
dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when
indicator drops to “Add” level.
To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap
to “Refill” and lift off. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level is at “Full.” Replace the dispenser cap and turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap is fully locked.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

STEP 3
Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 2¹⁄₂ hours, but can take less or more time to complete depending on selections.
Select Options (options vary by model)
See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.
You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash.
or
STEP 4
Start or Resume a Cycle
Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water.
Press START/RESUME once to show which
selections you used. Select the wash cycle and options desired OR press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle.
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button must be pressed each time.
If the Start/Resume button is located on top of door, push door
firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.

Culinary Tool Rack (3rd level rack)
Upper Filter Assembly
Lower Filter
The culinary tool rack is designed with 2 movable baskets to hold extra silverware, knives and cooking utensils.
Install the baskets in this up position when you have extra silverware and flatware to wash.
Up position
Install the baskets in this down position when you have extra silverware, knives, or utensils requiring more room to wash.
IMPORTANT: When you are using the culinary tool baskets in the down position, the top rack must also be in the lowest position.
Down position
Remove the front basket in the down position, when you are using the cup shelves or other tall items in the top rack for more room.
Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation 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.
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.

Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by filming / hard water).
Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.
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.
Drain Air Gap
To clean the drain air gap
Vacation or Extended Time Without Use
To reduce the risk of property damage
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. 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.
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.
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water
and power supply to the dishwasher.
Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice
formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your
dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUN
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. Be sure you have disabled Sleep Mode by pressing either START/RESUME or CANCEL, or opening and
closing the door before selecting your cycle/option. 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 “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section.) 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.
DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE DISPENSER OR TABLET IS ON BOTTOM OF TUB
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 (the Clean light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to resume
the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
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 (49°C) is best, the dishwasher will delay longer while heating cooler
water.
Some options will add time to the cycle. (See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section.) The
ProDry™ or Heat Dry option adds approximately ¹⁄₂ hour. Try the Express Wash cycle. Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
In Canada:
KitchenAid Brand Home Appliances Whirlpool Canada LP 200 – 6750 Century Ave. Mississauga, Ontario L5N 0B7
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING 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 ProDry™ or Heat 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.
Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
WILL NOT FILL Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float is free from obstructions. (See “Parts and Features.”) Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate
properly or may not fill with water. (See “Blinking Lights” in “Troubleshooting” section.)
WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN
Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed from the disposer inlet.
Check for kinks in the drain hose. Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer. Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
17
PROBLEM SOLUTION
HARD WATER (WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE)
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it
difficult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended if your 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 upper and lower filters at least once per month. (See “Cleaning Instructions” in the “Filtration
System” section.) 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 rinse cycle with the partial load 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 Heat 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 the “Troubleshooting” section.
NOISY 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.
FOOD SOILS REMAIN ON DISHES
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance (see “Dishwasher Use” section).
Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See “Cleaning Instructions” in the “Filtration System” section for details.)
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The ProWash™ or the Tough cycle with the ProScrub
®
(on some models) option can be used for tougher loads. Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). 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).
DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN DISHWASHER/CYCLE NOT COMPLETE
If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as dish detergent for hand washing dishes, laundry
detergent, or hand soap.
Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
Call for service. If no water was present in the machine at any time during a heated wash cycle, the cycle will end and
the Clean LED will not come on. See “Will Not Fill” in the “Troubleshooting” section.
SANITIZED LIGHT BLINKING If the sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final rinse, or
the temperature for your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120ºF (49°C).
DAMAGE TO DISHWARE Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading instructions
within this guide.)
BLINKING LIGHTS Blinking LED's will occur when the cycle is paused or when the cycle has been interrupted by opening
the door. In this case, the Start/Resume button LED, the Cycle Status Indicator LED(s), and the countdown bars on the Cycle Status Display all blink together to indicate that attention is needed. See “Start or Resume a Cycle” in the “Dishwasher Use” section.
Blinking LED's can also occur when certain errors have been detected. In this case, the Clean/ Complete LED will blink 4 times in a row with a pause in between each set of blinks. When this error occurs, the controls will lock out and not allow another cycle to be started.
Call for service.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED DISHWARE (AND HARD WATER SOLUTION)
NOTES:
Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See “Hard Water (White Residue On Dishwasher Interior Or Glassware)” in the “Troubleshooting” section. If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C). Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options. To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and metal
items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heat Dry option turned off. No detergent is needed.
ETCHING (PERMANENT CLOUDINESS)
This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
LEAKING WATER Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid overfilling.
TUB IS DISCOLORED NOTES:
High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
