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

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.

Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See “Storing”

Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such
as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See

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.

6.

Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.

Using Your New Dishwasher

1.

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

2.

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

4.

Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off
water.

7.

Press the Start pad on the front of the dishwasher door. Or
press the Start pad to repeat the same cycle and options as
the previous cycle.

The lights on the top control panel will turn off and the cycle
will begin. If the door is opened during the cycle, the cycle
and option lights will turn back on.

NOTE:

If the dishwasher is not started within 30 seconds
after closing the door, the cycle and options will revert to the
last cycle and options completed.

IMPORTANT:

■

When the cycle starts, you will see a rotating pattern of lights
in the display window indicating that the unit is operating.

5.

Press the desired cycle and option selections on the top of
the dishwasher door. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

This pattern will continue for up to 6 minutes while the
multiple sensors check the incoming water temperature, rinse
aid usage and soil level on dishes and cookware. The sensors
then determine the ideal cycle for your dish load. After
sensing is complete, the display will show the number of
minutes left in the cycle and the cycle countdown will begin.

■

The cycle countdown pauses and the water heating light
glows while the dishwasher heats the water to a set
temperature. (See “Cycle Selection Chart.”)
