GENERAL INFORMATION

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

DANGER

WARNING

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.

follow instructions.

You

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precauons, including the following:

■ Read all instrucons before using the dishwasher.

■ Use the dishwasher only for its intended funcon.

■ 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 plasc items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plasc items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendaons.

■ Do not touch the heang element during or immediately aer use.

■ 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 condions, 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 ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this me.

■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Before Using Your Dishwasher

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

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.

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.

• For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

must be grounded. In the event of a malfuncon 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 connecon of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied electrician or service representave if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

• For a permanently connected 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.

The dishwasher

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Install where dishwasher is sheltered from the elements. Avoid possible rupture of ll valve from freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See “Storing” secon for winter storage informaon.

• Install and level dishwasher on a oor 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 Installaon Instrucons or complete informaon.

OPERATION

Start-Up / Quick Reference (varies by model)

Start-Up / Quick Reference

Clean EQ Wash System removable filters to maintain peak performance.

Cleaning the filters periodically helps keep the dishwasher working at peak performance. The filters can 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.

ProWash™ cycle for optimal cleaning

The most advanced and versatile cycle. ProWash™ cycle senses the load size, soil

amount, and toughness of soil, to adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning using only the amount of water and energy needed. The ProWash™ and Heavy Duty cycles are recommended for tough soil. No need to prerinse dishes; just scrape and load.

ProScrub® Option for loading to clean baked-on food (some models)

When the ProScrub option is selected, it provides a concentrated wash on the back of the lower dish rack for hard-to-clean dishes. Place these dishes with the soiled surface of the dish toward the ProScrub

spray jets in the lower rack of the dishwasher.

Press START/RESUME every time you add a dish.

Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.

You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance (sample included). Rinse aid along with the Heat Dry or ProDry™ option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the dishwasher interior.

USE RINSE AID FOR BETTER DRYING

Refill

Lock

Add

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button must be pressed each time.

If the Start/Resume button is located on top of door: Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the Start/ Resume button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.

Proper Detergent Dosing

1 Hour Wash - When you need fast results.

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. When you need fast results, the 1 Hour Wash will clean your dishes using slightly more water and energy. Select the Heat Dry or ProDry™ option to speed drying times (adds approximately 27 to 35 minutes to the 1 Hour Wash cycle)



It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Add Detergent” in the “Dishwasher Use” section, to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness.

Quick Steps

Dishwasher Use

Prepare and load dishwasher.

Select a cycle and option.

Add detergent for cleaning and rinse aid for drying.

Start dishwasher.

NOTE: If the Start/Resume button is located

on the top of door, push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME.

OPERATION

Prepare and Load the Dishwasher

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other

hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

Prepare and load dishwasher.

Add detergent for cleaning and rinse aid for drying.

STEP 1

Dishwasher Use

Select a cycle and option.

■ 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.

Upper rack Lower rack

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 in the image above.

STEP 2

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 container in a cool, dry place.

■ 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. If you 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.

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.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

Filtration System

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.

Upper Filter Assembly

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

OPERATION

Dishwasher Care

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. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Cleaning the interior

Drain Air Gap

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.

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.

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.

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.

To clean the drain air gap

Storing

Storing for the summer

Storing for the winter

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 your dishwasher is not in use during the summer months, turn off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

Avoid possible water damage to your home and dishwasher due to freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

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.

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

Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The ProWash™ or the Heavy Duty 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.

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.

ETCHING (PERMANENT CLOUDINESS)

LEAKING WATER Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.

TUB IS DISCOLORED NOTES:

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).

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.

■ 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.

Determine Cabinet Opening

Measure height of cabinet opening from underside of countertop to floor where dishwasher will be installed (you will need to measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and the highest point on the floor). Refer to “Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart” for wheel position and the number of turns needed.

INSTALLATION

Turn both leveler legs to the same height. Put wheels in the required position determined from “Dishwasher Height Adjustment Chart.”

NOTE: If the minimum cabinet opening height is less than 34" (86.4 cm), the rear wheels can be removed for additional clearance. This will allow the dishwasher to fit into a 33⁷⁄₈" (86 cm) high cabinet opening, but the dishwasher will be more difficult to move. (Measurements are approximate. Wheels and legs are preset at the factory for 34¹⁄₂" [87.6 cm].) If the minimum cabinet opening height is 33³⁄₄" (85.7 cm), a section in the insulation blanket can be removed by cutting along the perforation.

Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet opening's floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not

extend into the cabinet opening - add shims as needed in the area shown to bring the dishwasher up to 34" (86.4 cm) below the countertop.

NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid movement when the dishwasher is in use.

■ If side mounting, you must drill pilot holes in cabinet to avoid

splitting the wood before installing screws. Locate brackets on top of dishwasher and secure dishwasher to countertop with two #10 x ¹⁄₂" Phillips-head screws (included). The dishwasher must be secured to keep it from shifting when

If securing with a side attachment, check that sides of door do rub against the screw heads. If they do, dishwasher must be re-centered. When dishwasher is properly centered, replace

Complete Installation

Option A, Install Access Panel - Plastic Panel

Remove towel from dishwasher. Reinstall the lower dish rack. If needed, see website for animated representation of this step.

Visit www.kitchenaid.com/anchoring under FAQ tab.

Bottom Sound Pad Installation

(on some models)

1. Remove the bottom sound pad from inside the dishwasher and take it out of the plastic bag.

2. Place pad on the floor in front of the dishwasher, making sure lettering is facing up and vinyl pad faces down.

3. Fold up and hold the side panels down. Slowly slide the pad toward the back of the dishwasher as far as it will go, making sure not to push or pull any wires or hoses. (Do not force.) Side panels will open to proper position.

NOTE: If there are pipes or other obstructions coming up through the floor, you will need to cut a slit in the pad to fit around the obstacle.

Place the plastic access panel against the dishwasher leg.

Check that the lower edge of the access panel touches the floor. Adjust if necessary.

4. Fold the front end of the pad up into position. Make sure the vinyl pad is tucked up behind the door and the dishwasher front legs, as shown.

when properly locked.

Page 55

Option B, Install Access Panel - Metal Panel

INSTALLATION

Tighten access panel screws.

Check that grounding clip is attached to the lower panel. Position the lower panel behind the access panel. On some models there is insulation on the access panel that must fall behind the insulation on the lower panel.

Hold the 2 panels together and place them against dishwasher leg. Using a Phillips or ¹⁄₄" screwdriver, reinstall the screws through the holes in the access panel and the slots in the lower panel.

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.

Check that the lower edge of the lower panel contacts the floor. Adjust if necessary.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Check that power supply cord does not touch dishwasher motor or lower part of dishwasher tub.

Reconnect Power

Check Operation

■ Read the Dishwasher User Instructions that came with your

dishwasher.

■ Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were

skipped. Check that you have all tools used.

■ Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest wash

cycle. After the first 2 minutes, unlatch door, wait 5 seconds, then open door. Check that there is water in the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Check that dishwasher is working properly.

If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or unplug dishwasher and see “If Dishwasher Does Not Operate” section.

If Dishwasher Does Not Operate

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

■ Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown?

■ Is the door closed tightly and latched?

■ Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?

■ Is the water turned on?

If none of these possible solutions work, please see your Use and Care Guide for service contact information.

Additional Tips

Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 2-3 hours per load, but use nearly 40% less energy than older models. Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water sensor so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past

3.5 hours. Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:

This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good drying performance and controlling hard water deposit buildup. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying performance.

Start/Resume light may flash: When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the door within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash until you press it again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.)

NOTE: If a braided supply hose is used, replace inlet hose after 5 years to reduce the risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hose for future reference.

IMPORTANT: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Electronics ESD problems are present everywhere. Most people begin to feel an ESD discharge at approximately 3000V. It takes as little as 10V to destroy, damage, or weaken the main control assembly. The new main control assembly may appear to work well after repair is nished, but a malfunction may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.

n Use an anti-static wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green ground connection point or unpainted

metal in the appliance

n Touch your nger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the

appliance.

n Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground

connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance.

n Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle electronic control assembly by

edges only.

n When repackaging main control assembly in anti-static bag, observe above instructions.
