messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” mean:

DANGER

WARNING

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.

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 equipmentgrounding 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

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Start-Up / Quick Reference (varies by model)

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.

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.

or

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).

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.

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.

■ Make sure nothing keeps spray 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.

place.

A. Cover latch

B. Main Wash section

C. Pre-Wash section

■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	Hard Water
	powdered detergent.	Soft Water	Hard Water
	Follow instructions on the		Soft Water
	package when using other	Main Wash	Pre-Wash
	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		Full
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.

Add

■Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator drops to “Add” level.

	■ To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap	Lock
	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	Refill
	locked.
		¹⁄ turn to lock

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.

Dishwasher Features

Your KitchenAid dishwasher may have some or all of these features.

ProScrub® Option Wash Area

The ProScrub® option wash area is located at the back of the lower level rack and the front corners of the upper level rack.

A

A. Back of dishwasher

NOTE: You must select the ProScrub® option to use this feature. Make sure items do not interfere with the water feed tube, spray arms, or the lower rack ProScrub® spray jets.

■Keep the last tine row in the back of the lower rack in the 60° angled position when using the ProScrub® option.

■In the back of the lower rack, load pans, casserole dishes, etc., with the soiled surfaces facing the ProScrub® Plus spray jets, and resting on the last row of tines in the angled position.

■Only one row of items may face the ProScrub® spray jets. Stacking, overlapping or nesting items will keep the ProScrub® spray jets from contacting all of the surfaces.

■In the upper rack, place tall or oddly shaped glasses or bottles in the front corners of the rack face down. It is best to load these items in between rows of tines.

ProScrub® Trio (on some models)

Lower jets clean pans, casseroles, etc., with tough food soil to eliminate the need for soaking and scrubbing of dirty, baked-on dishes.

Upper rack has two spray zones in the front corners to reach into deeper or oddly shaped items.

Silverware Basket

Use the slots in the covers to keep your

silverware separated for optimum wash. There are specially designed slots (small

round holes) for chopsticks. Mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and

alternate spoons, for best cleaning results.

NOTE: If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, lift and slide the covers off of the silverware basket.

CULINARY CADDY® Utensil Basket

Use the utensil basket to hold specialty cooking utensils (serving spoons, spatulas, and similar items), or overflow silverware items.

The basket hangs on the bottom rack in the right-hand corner. Load the basket while it is on the bottom rack or remove the basket for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.

SURE-HOLD® Cup and Stemware Holder

Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of the mid level rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such as utensils and spatulas.

NOTE: Remove the culinary tool basket(s) when washing tall stemware or other tall items in the top rack.

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.

8-12	Once per year	Twice per year	Every three months	Every two weeks
13-14	Once per year	Twice per year	Every three months	Once per week

*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare 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. For tips on removing spots and stains, see “Troubleshooting” section.

Filter Removal Instructions

1.Turn the Upper Filter Assembly ¼ turn counterclockwise and lift out.

2.Grasp the Lower Filter in the circular opening, lift slightly, and pull forward to remove.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the 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 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, such as affresh®† Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016.

†® affresh is a registered trademark of Whirlpool, U.S.A.

15

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 “Cloudy or spotted dishware (and hard water solution)” in “Troubleshooting” section.

NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.

Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure

Cleaning the Dishwasher

Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended, such as affresh® Stainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016.

Removal of Hard Water / Filming:

Recommended use of a monthly maintenance product such as affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner Part Number W10282479.

■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

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.

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.

Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

To reduce the risk of property damage

■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.

	NOT RUN	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	Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be
	THE DISPENSER OR	blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.
	TABLET IS ON BOTTOM	Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.
	OF TUB
		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⁄ hour.
		Try the Express Wash cycle.
		Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
	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	Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle
	TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN	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.

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
HARD WATER	NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it
(WHITE RESIDUE ON	difficult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is
DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR	15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:
GLASSWARE)	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	Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing
ON DISHES	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	If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate
DISHWASHER/CYCLE NOT	properly or may not fill with water.
COMPLETE	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.

18

	PROBLEM	SOLUTION
	CLOUDY OR SPOTTED	NOTES:
	DISHWARE (AND HARD	■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
	WATER SOLUTION)
		■ 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	This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water that is
	CLOUDINESS)	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.
