IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - When usingthe dishwasher,follow basic precautions,includingthe 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 likelyto
damage the door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce
the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do notwash plastic itemsunlessthey are marked
"dishwashersafe" or the equivalent. For plastic
itemsnot so marked, check the manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Do nottouch the heating elementduring or
immediately after use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly inplace.
• Do not tamper withcontrols.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door ordish
racks of the dishwasher.
To reduce the riskof injury,do notallow childrento

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water systemthat has not been

EXPLOSIVE. Ifthe hot water systemhas not been
used for such a period, before usingthe dishwasher
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow

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.
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 appro-
priate outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can resultin 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 plugprovided with
the dishwasher; if itwill not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• For s 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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground connector
in terminal box,
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
• Installwhere 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 Your Dishwasher"in the
"Caring for Your Dishwasher" section for winter storage
information.
• Install and level dishwasher on afloor that will hold the
weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.
• Remove allshipping plugs from hoses and connectors
(such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing.
See Installation Instructions for complete information.

START-UPGUIDE
LOADING YOUR
Before using your dishwasher, remove all hang tags,
temporary labels, and packaging materials. Read this
entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety
information and useful operating tips.
Using Your New Dishwasher
1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or
bones) from dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Loading Your '
Dishwasher.") Make sure nothing prevents the spray
arm(s) from spinning freely.
\
3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add
rinse aid if needed. (See "Using Your Dishwasher.")
DISHWASHER
Loading Suggestions
• Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse
the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. The
wash module removes food particles from the water.
The module contains a chopping device which will
reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: Ifhard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg
shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping,
grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds
are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let
metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the
wash module. Damage can occur.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or
inward). 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 carefully. Heavy items can
dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are
dropped or bumped.
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm
rotation.
4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches
automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your
dishwasher until the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher
Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water.
5. Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See
"Using Your Dishwasher.") Press START.
Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not
plan to wash them soon. Foods like 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 noisesduring operation:
• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the
racks.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with
the rotation of the spray arm.
• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed
dudng dishwasher operation to prevent noisetransfer
through drains.
