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 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.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You 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.

Before Using Your Dishwasher

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

■ Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements.

Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See “Storing” in the “Dishwasher Care” section for winter storage information.

■ Install and level dishwasher in a cabinet countertop 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.

■ This product is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) located on the front base of the dishwasher inside the cabinet. A GFCI is designed to protect you against the dangers of line to ground electrical faults. If the appliance develops a fault of this type, the GFCI is designed to disconnect the power to the appliance. This is a built-in safety feature. The GFCI should be tested once a month.

RESET TEST

Once a month test procedure:

1. Press TEST button. Indicator should be Off (no indicator

visible in window).

2. Press RESET. Indicator should be On (indicator visible in

window).

NOTE: If the GFCI fails this test, do not use the dishwasher. Call us or your nearest designated service center for service. (See “Assistance or Service” section of this manual.)

START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

Using Your New Dishwasher

1. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the

dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage. (See “Rinse Aid Dispenser.”)

7. If you do not have the hot water tank accessory, run hot water

at the sink until the water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Performance Tips.”) Turn off water.

2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)

from dishes.

3. Check and clean drain assembly screens. (See “Cleaning.”)

4. Insert the drain stopper and turn right ¼ turn to close.

5. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)

Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm from spinning freely.

8. Press the desired cycle and option selections on the control

panel. Or press the Start pad to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

9. Press the Start pad on the top of the dishwasher opening.

The lights on the control panel will flash once.

10. Push lid firmly closed. Turn lid lever to latch.

6. Add detergent. Always use a high quality brand detergent.

(See “Dishwasher Use.”)

If the lid is opened during the cycle, the cycle will stop. Close the lid firmly and the cycle will continue.

NOTE: If the dishwasher senses the drain stopper is not closed properly, selected cycle is canceled. Lid pops open and Check Drain indicator is lit. Insert drain stopper again and seal. Start cycle again.

11. The lid opens automatically at the end of the cycle. NOTE: Do not place anything on the dishwasher lid when

running a cycle. Anything placed on the top of the lid may keep the lid from opening after a cycle, resulting in poor drying.

Using Your New Dishwasher As a Sink

When you need more sink area, remove the rack and spray arm completely.

Loading Rack

The rack is designed for cups, glasses, plates, pans, casseroles. and utensils. Many items, up to 11" (27.94 cm), fit in the rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

To open drain

1. Turn the drain stopper assembly left ¼ turn and lift to allow

water to drain.

To close drain

1. Insert drain stopper assembly so it aligns and drops down to

seal against the drain.

2. Turn right ¼ turn to lock it into place. NOTE: Do not completely fill the dishwasher when using it as a

sink. Make sure the sink is completely drained before using it again as a dishwasher.

DISHWASHER LOADING

Loading Suggestions

■ Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard

items from the dishes. To conserve water and energy and save time it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

■ It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

■ Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if

possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.

■ Load heavy pots and pans gently. Heavy items can dent the

stainless steel interior if they are dropped or bumped.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, etc., do not interfere with the

spray arm rotation.

■ Conserve water and energy and save time over hand rinsing

by running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

■ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, etc., do not touch interior

walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.

■ Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

5 place setting

Mixed load

■ Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and

draining.

■ China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each

other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

■ Load small items in the rack only if they are secured in place.

■ Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move

them during the cycle. Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■ To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

■ Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the

rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

■ Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.

■ Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

■ Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety

of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

■ Load cake pans and other large items at the sides and front.

Loading such items in back can keep the water spray from reaching the Rinse Aid dispenser.

■ Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■ Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation

of the spray arm. The spray arm must move freely.

■ Do not load items between the rack and the left side of the

dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet opening.

Fold-Down Cup Shelf

Fold down the cup shelf on the rack front to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such as utensils and spatulas. Fold up when you need room for larger items in the main rack.

Removable Rack Inserts

The large, medium and small removable rack inserts (see illustration below) allow you to adjust the rack for the type of load you are washing. You can remove or move one or more of the inserts to customize the rack for a particular load. This is useful when washing a variety of dishes, pots and pans, or roasters.

To re move ins er t

Lift up on insert handle and lift insert out of rack.

To install insert

Place the insert end legs under the rack cross wire.

Gently push down until handle fits against outer rack edge.

Extra-large wooden cutting board

The movable cutting board allows you to decide the best location for food preparation. Use the cutting board on the dishwasher closed lid or any other location you choose.

TIP: If you use the cutting board on the lid or use the closed lid as a food preparation area, you could soil any clean dishes remaining in the dishwasher. This will require rewashing of the dishes.

A. Large rack insert B. Medium rack insert C. Small rack insert

NOTE: Remove the cutting board before running a cycle. Leaving the cutting board on the lid can keep the lid from opening at the end of the cycle, reducing drying performance. See “Cleaning” for care instructions.

Loading Silverware Basket

Load the silverware basket while it is in the rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

How much detergent to use

■ The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of

your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

■ Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out

your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

■ You can order a water hardness test strip. Call us or your

nearest designated service center and ask for Part Number

4171690. (See “Assistance or Service.”)

■ Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different

amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

Water Hardness Amount of Detergent

IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing

down.

NOTES:

■ Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless

steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

■ Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,

etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

DISHWASHER USE

Detergent Use

The detergent cup, located on the inside of the dishwasher lid, empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the lid.

■ Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents

can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

■ Add detergent just before starting a cycle.

■ Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Using

fresh, automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.

Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 3.4 oz (100 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be sure not to overfill it.

1. Make sure the dishwasher lid is fully open. Locate the rinse

aid fill on the right-hand side of the dishwasher back wall.

Rinse aid dispenser Rinse aid fill

2. Open the rinse aid fill by unscrewing the cap.

3. Add rinse aid until container is full.

1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for

at least 1 minute.

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring

cup.

3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water

is running into the cup.

Additional efficiency tips

■ To save water and energy and time, do not rinse dishes

before putting them into the dishwasher.

■ Choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil on

your dish load.

■ Do not worry about mixed loads. Any item that is

dishwasher safe can be washed using any cycle.

■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This

reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

■ Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

■ Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or

rinse portion of the cycle for better performance.

■ Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle

after meals until the dishwasher is full.

■ If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may

want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Replace the cap and tighten.

Rinse Aid Empty indicator

When the Rinse Aid Empty indicator is lit on the control panel, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser.

Dishwasher Performance Tips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing 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. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function.

■ If you have the hot water tank accessory installed, you can

significantly reduce the cycle times by using the high setting.

■ If you do not have a hot water tank accessory installed, you

can follow these steps to check your water temperature:

Cycle Selection Charts
