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.

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 cut4ype 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.

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.

[] Refer to Installation Instructions for instructions pertaining

to grounding.

Add powdered detergent. Always use a high quality brand detergent. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

IMPORTANT: Only use powdered detergent recommended for dishwashers. Do not use liquid or tablet detergents. Wash

performance could be negatively impacted if you use anything other than powdered detergent.

NOTES:

• If the dishwasher is operating and a power failure occurs,

it will stop. You may not be able to open the drawer at this time. When the power supply is resumed, the dishwasher

will start in the same part of the wash cycle.

• To end the wash cycle in mid-cycle, press the Power pad.

Any water in the drawer will be pumped out.

10. The dishwasher will beep 6 times to indicate the end of the wash cycle. At the end of the wash cycle, the drying fan will

continue to run for a set time or until the drawer is opened. The fan assists with drying and uses small amounts of energy. NOTE: It is normal for some water to remain in the drain filter area after the wash cycle is complete.

DISHWASHER LOADING

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water, energy and save time it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them

into the dishwasher. NOTE: Dishes soiled with tomato-based products should be

prerinsed to avoid staining.

• 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.

• Use special care when loading heavy pots and pans. Heavy items can damage the interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.

• Make sure pot lids and handles, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

Conserve water, 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.

Suggested loading patterns

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.

NOTE: If the rack is incorrectly placed in the drawer, the rack can block the spray arm rotation. The rack is properly installed if it is sitting flat on the bottom of the drawer.

The rack is designed for cups, glasses, plates, pans, casseroles

and utensils. Many items, up to 11" (28.38 cm), fit in the rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE:Donotloaditemsbetweentherackandthedetergent dispenserbecausetheymightblockthewaterinletopening locatedatthebaseofthedispenser.

Fold-Down Cup Shelves

Fold down the cup shelves on the sides of the drawer 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.

SURE-HOLD _>light item clips

The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing.

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 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 back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the rinse aid dispenser.

• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

To move a clip

1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2. Reposition the clip on another tine.

SURE-HOLD _ base rack and removable rack inserts

The SURE-HOLD ® removable rack inserts (see illustration below) allow you to adjust the rack for the type of load you are washing.

You can remove 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. NOTE: The removable inserts are not designed to be lifted out of

the drawer while loaded with dishes.

A. Large insert B. Medium insert

C. Base rack D. Drain filter access panel

To remove either insert

1. Gently pull in and up on the handle to release the insert

handle from the base rack.

2. Once the handle is lifted up, tilt the insert to the left or right to release the insert legs on the other end from their position

under the base rack wire.

To install either insert

1. Tilt the rack insert end to the left or right to insert the legs under the base rack wires as shown below.

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

basket can be removed for easy unloading.

Use the center section with cover down to load silverware in set positions and avoid nesting. Mix items in end sections of the

basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc., in the middle section with the hinged cover. Close the cover over the section to hold small items in place.

2. Straighten the insert into position along the bottom of the base rack.

3. Gently pull in and push down on the insert handle until the insert locks into position in the base rack.

The FLEXI-BASKET TM silverware basket can be separated and

placed into the rack in several locations. Hold joined basket firmly and slide each basket until the tab aligns with the keyhole on the back of each basket and pull apart. Now use both sections or just

one to load silverware.

To remove the center basket cover

1. Slide the cover to one side until one hinge end pops out of the holder.

2. Tilt cover and slide in the opposite direction until the other hinge end pops out of holder. Remove cover.

To install the center basket cover

1. Insert a cover hinge end into holder on one side.

2. Slide the cover until you can insert the opposite hinge end into the holder on the other side and slide into place.

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

DISHWASHER USE

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.

• Check the bottom of the silverware basket to ensure items have not come through as they may stop spray arm rotation.

The detergent and rinse aid dispenser is located on the front

inside wall of the drawer. The detergent dispenser has two sections, the pre wash section is the smaller and the other is for

the main wash detergent. The pre wash and main wash sections

both have inside fill line markings. The pre wash section has one marking which represents 1 tsp (5 mL). When it is full, it holds 2 tsp (10 mL). The main wash section has two markings, the lowest mark indicates 2 tsp (10 mL), the middle mark 4 tsp (20 mL), and when it is full it contains 6 tsp (30 mL).

NOTE: The detergent dispenser is designed for use with powdered detergent. Liquid and tablet detergents are not suitable to be used in the dispenser. (Posts inside dispenser are a reminder not to use detergent tablets.)

IMPORTANT:

• Use powdered, 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.

Fillingthe powdered detergent dispenser

1. Press the latch down and the door will open.

2. Pour in detergent. No detergent is needed for the Rinse cycle.

3. After filling the section(s), close the dispenser door until it clicks shut. The detergent will automatically be released into the drawer during the wash cycle.

How much powdered detergent to use

• The detergent quantities suggested in the chart are for individual drawer 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 will not 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, at no charge, a water hardness test strip. In the U.S.A., call the Customer eXperience 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 regular use of liquid rinse aid gives the best drying results.

Rinse aids keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also help keep metal from tarnishing. They 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.

The rinse aid dispenser is located on the front inside of the

drawer underneath the detergent dispenser.

A. Rinse aid plug B. Rinse aid indicator light C. Rinse aid dispenser

How much rinse aid to use

The regulator may need adjusting to suit your water conditions. The lowest setting is "1" and the highest is "5." For hard water, the rinse aid dispenser should be used with its setting fixed at 5.

(See "Option Selections and Adjustments" section.) NOTE: If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce

the rinse aid dispenser setting. If dishes are wet or streaky after

drying, increase the rinse aid dispenser setting.

Filling the rinse aid dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 1.7 oz (50.28 mL) of rinse aid.

Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 2 months.

Try to keep it full, but be sure not to overfill it.

1. Turn the plug counterclockwise and remove.

2. Pour the rinse aid into the circular opening.

3. Take care not to spill rinse aid into the drawer. Any spills must be wiped up to avoid excess foaming.

4. Fit the plug back into the original position.

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. Ifyour water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the

faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.

To check water temperature

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

Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measurinc cup.

3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

Additional efficiency tips

• To save water, 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. (See "NOTES:" in the

"Loading Silverware Basket" section.) Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak

hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day. (See "Option Selections and

Adjustments.") 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.

Rinse Aid indicator

If the rinse aid indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse aid indicator light is not lit, there is enough rinse aid for the wash. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill.

Select the wash cycle desired. The indicator is lit above the selected cycle. Press the Start/Resume button. NOTE: Please refer to "Detergent Use" for recommended detergent dispenser sections and powdered detergent amounts to use,
