START-UP

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Consumer Reference Guide, as well as the User Instructions. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

Using Your Dishwasher

For all models:

1.Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.

2.Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes. You do not need to prerinse your dishes.

3.Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Loading.”) Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

4.Add detergent. Always use a high-quality brand detergent. (See “Dishwasher Use” in the User Instructions.)

5.Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off water.

6.Press the desired cycle and option selections on the top, or front, of the dishwasher door. (See “Cycles and Options.”)

For all models except KUDI01DL: Press START. Or press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle. The selected cycle and option lights will flash once.

NOTE: If the dishwasher is not started within 30 seconds after selecting the cycle and options, it will revert to the last cycle and options completed.

7.Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those in the illustration below.

For Model KUDI01DL:

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

NOTE: If the dishwasher is not started within 30 seconds after selecting the cycle and options, it 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. 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 cycle countdown pauses and the water heating light glows while the dishwasher heats the water to a set temperature. (See “Cycle Selections.”)

LOADING

Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

10 place setting

12 place setting

■Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.

■Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.

■Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.

Cup and glass load

■China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

■Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

■To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

■Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

SURE-HOLD® light item clips

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

To move a clip

1.Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2.Reposition the clip on another tine.

Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Many items, up to 13" (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

10 place setting

12 place setting

■Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place.

■Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.

■Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

5

■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.

Utensil load

■Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

Mixed load

■Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

■Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet opening.

FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ flexible tines (on some models)

You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of the bottom rack.

1.Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.

2.Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.

3.Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.

Silverware Basket

NOTE: The features on your silverware basket may vary from those shown below.

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

NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware. 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.

CYCLES AND OPTIONS

Cycle Selections

Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START to repeat the same cycle and options 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 options that you selected when you press Start.

■If the power is off or the door is open for an extended period of time, the Start button memory will default to the Normal cycle with heated drying.

■If you do not run the dishwasher daily, close the door to maintain memory.

A “●” shows what steps are in each cycle. Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

This model meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.

Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher.
