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 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
This is the safety alert symbol.
"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.
UMPORTANT SAFETY UNSTRUCTUONS
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:
I) 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.
SAVE THESE UNSTRUCTUONS
[] 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.
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 eJectrical 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.
GROUNDmNG 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 pUugmust 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 permanentmy 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
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.

2. Turn right 1Aturn 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
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
Mixedload
• 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 remove insert
Lift up on insert handle and lift insert out of rack.
To install insert
Placethe 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.

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.

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.
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
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. Ifyou 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%.

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.

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.
Fillingthe 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
2. Open the rinse aid fill by unscrewing the cap.
3. Add rinse aid until container is full.
Rinseaid fill
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.

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:
Select the wash cycle and option desired or press the Start pad
to repeat the same cycle and option as the previous cycle.
NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, the
dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and option that you
selected when you press the Start pad.
A "O" shows what steps are in each cycle.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time
indicates the cycle time will be longer depending on the
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the
water, the longer the cycle time.
