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.

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

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.

The filter system consists of two
parts: an upper filter assembly and a
lower filter.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to
dishwasher, do not operate your
dishwasher without filters properly
installed. Be sure lower filter is
securely in place and upper filter
assembly is locked into place. If
upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

The filters may need to be cleaned when:

■ Visible objects or soils are on upper filter

assembly.

■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

See “Filtration System” in full User Guide for
complete removal and maintenance schedule.

IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring
pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.

Rinse filter under running water until soils are
removed. If you have hard to remove soils or
calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush
may be required.

Easy to remove third level rack
(on some models)

If additional space is needed in the
upper rack, the third level rack can
easily be removed

To remove, fully extend rack until it
stops. Then open the track stops
on each side and lift to remove.

Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.

You must use a drying agent, such
as a rinse aid, for good drying
performance. Rinse aid along with
the Heat Dry option provides the
best drying and avoids excessive
moisture in the dishwasher interior.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is gained by extending cycle time and
reducing the amount of wattage and water used during
your dishwasher’s cycle. All models contain an optical
water sensor to determine water and energy consumption.
Your first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical water
sensor.

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves on gas.

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),
START/RESUME must be pressed each time.

Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing
START/RESUME. If door is not closed within
3 seconds, the start button LED will flash, an audible
tone will be heard, and cycle will not start.

2. Check that Spray Arms are not Blocked.

Items in the rack can block the
spray arms. Be sure that they do
not block the upper or lower spray
arms.

10-place load - upper rack 10-place load - lower rack

12-place load - upper rack 12-place load - lower rack

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

■ Make sure that, when the dishwasher door is closed, no items are

blocking detergent dispenser.

■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and

inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will
improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface
downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and
between dishes.

■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in upper rack.

■ Wash only 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 racks.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down

and avoid “nesting” as shown. If your silverware does not fit into the
designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them and mix
silverware types to keep them separated.

■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep

your silverware separated for optimum wash. See the complete
online User Guide for detailed illustrations.

3. 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 detergent just

before starting a cycle.

■ Fresh automatic dishwasher

detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed
detergent container in a cool, dry
place.

Detergents

Many detergents now come in several
forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder
packs).

We recommend tablets and packs for
convenience and improved
performance. Quality tablets and
packs have 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. These forms are suitable for all
hardness and soil levels. Always place detergents in the main
compartment and slide lid to close.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the online user guide for more
information on powder, liquid and gel usage.

To close lid To open lid

Place selected detergent in the
dispenser. Place finger, as shown,
and slide lid closed. Press firmly until
it clicks.

CYCLE GUIDE

■ 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 heating and drying options will
not perform as well without rinse aid.

■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots

or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of
dishes after final rinse.

■ To add rinse aid, open the dispenser lid by gently pushing in the

center of the lid with your thumb while lifting up on the edge.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting
will give good results.

If you are experiencing poor drying performance,
you may want to try a higher setting. Turn the arrow
adjuster to a higher setting to increase the amount
of rinse aid.

5. Select a Cycle

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.

OPEN

6. Select Options

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.

7. Start or Resume a Cycle

NOTE: Run hot water at sink nearest your dishwasher until water is hot.
Turn off water.

■ If Start/Resume button is located on top of door, push door firmly

closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If door is not
closed within 3 seconds, the Start button LED will flash, an audible
tone will be heard, and cycle will not start.

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish,
even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button must be

NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil
removal and for sanitization efficacy.

The Sani indicator glows at the end of the
cycle if the Sani Rinse option was
successfully completed. If the indicator does
not activate, it is probably due to the cycle
being interrupted.

hard water).

■ Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.

■ Select cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start

dishwasher.

NOTE: We also recommended that you use a premeasured detergent
tablet or pack for regular daily use.

If you have a drain air gap, check
and clean it if the dishwasher isn't
draining well.

To Reduce Risk of Property
Damage During Vacation or
Extended Time Without Use

■ When 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 cause damage to 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.

Spotting/Filming NOTES:

Dishwasher does

completely

Check the following:

■ Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.

■ Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. (This is very important following the new installation of your

dishwasher.)

■ Check for suds in the dishwasher. For more information on suds, see “Dishwasher does not clean completely.”

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 Heat Dry or ProDry™ option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying.
For improved results, place items on the more slanted side of the rack.
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when you are unloading the

dishwasher.
Unload the bottom rack first.

■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting. Follow rinse aid package instructions.

■ Use the correct amount of detergent. If using powder or liquid/gel products follow package instructions.

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 the “Dishwasher Care” section. If it does not come
clear, it is due to etching.

Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the Hi-Temp Wash or Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, see the “Dishwasher Care” section.

Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance. See the
“Operating Your Dishwasher” section.

Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See the “Filtration System” in on-line User Guide for details.
Select the proper cycle for the type of soils. The ProWash™ or Tough cycle 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.
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 laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent for hand washing dishes.

■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.

■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent. If using powder or liquid/gel products follow package instructions.
