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. [] Do not tamper with controls.
[] 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

[] 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 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

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.

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.

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

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.

STEP2

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 B
container ina cool, dry
place.

A

• 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. Ifyou 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

Soft Water

_, ardWater

Main Wash

HardWater

SoftWater

Pra-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
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.

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.

Lower Filter

14

It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

ED TIME INTERVALS TO CLEAN YOUR FILTER

Number of Loads If you wash If you scrape and rinse If you only scrape If you do not scrape or rinse
Per Week before loading before loading before loading* before loading

1-3 Once per year Once per year Twice per year Every two months

4-7 Once per year Once per year Twice per year Once per month
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

Ifyou 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.

Cleaning

Cleaning the exterior

1-Oaffresh is a registered trademark of Whirlpool, U.S.A.

/

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. Ifyour

dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended, such
as affresh ®tStainless Steel Cleaner Part Number W10355016.

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

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.

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.
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.
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 TM or Heat Dry option adds approximately 1/2hour.

Try the Express Wash cycle.

Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before 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 ProDry TM 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.

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.)

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.

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.
NOTE: Ifthe 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.
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.
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 TM 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).
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.

ETCHING (PERMANENT

CLOUDINESS)

LEAKING WATER

TUB IS DISCOLORED

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.

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).

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.

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.
