DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others is 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 hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You follow instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

■ 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 cut-type 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.

: When using the dishwasher, follow bas ic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■ 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 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 to the washing compartment when

removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Before Using Y our

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.

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 appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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 plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

■

For a 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.

■ Install where 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 stor age information.

■ Install and level dishwasher on a floor 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 Installation Instructions for complete information.

START-UP GUIDE

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 Y our New Dishwasher

1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks o r bones) from dishes.

2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Loading Your Dishwasher.”) Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

LOADING YOUR

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: If hard 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 soil ed su rfaces fac e th e spray ( down o r

inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See “Using Your Dishwasher.”)

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.

■ Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if

possible. For best drying, wate r must be able to drain from all surfaces.

■ Load heavy pots and pans care fully. 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.

■ Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes mois t 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 noises during 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 during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

Loading the Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

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

10 place setting load

■ Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and

draining.

■ Load glasses and cups in to p rack only. The bottom

rack is not designed for gla sses and cups. Da mage can 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.

Loading the Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded with soi led su rf ace s fa cing i nwa rd to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

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

12 place setting load

■ Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs.

Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.

Cup and glass load

■ China, crystal, an d o ther de li cat e i tem s must n ot touch

each other during dishwash er operation. Damage may occur.

Mixed load

■ Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the

bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are s ecured in place.

■ Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and

facing inward to the spray.

■ 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 prongs. Do not nest bowls becau se 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.

■ 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.

USING YOUR

DISHWASHER

■ Do not load items be tween the bottom rack and the

side of the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.

Loading the

Silverware Basket

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 drop lets on the silverware.

Mix items in each sect ion of th e ba sket wi th some point ing up and some down to avoid nestin g. Spray ca nnot reach nested items.

Detergent Dispenser

The deterg ent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller PreWash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

1. Main wash section

2.Cover latch

3. Pre-wash section

4. Cover

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the “Cycle Selection Chart.”)

■ Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other

detergents can produce excessive suds that c a n overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, forks, 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 ha ve a ful l load to was h immedi ately.

■ Add detergent just before starting cycle.

■ Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place.

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by rotating the cover latch.

2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How Much Detergent to Use.”

3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the PreWash section.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the covered section for cycles wit h 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection Chart” for more details.

How much deter gent to 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 won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

■ Water hardness can change over a p eriod of time. Fi nd

out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

■ You can order a water hardness test strip. In the U.S.A.,

call the Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-422-1230 and ask for Part Number 4171690.

■ Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different

amounts of phosphorous 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%.

Water Har dness Amount of Detergent

Soft to Medium Hard Water

0 to 6 grains per gallon

Medium to Hard Water

7 to 12 grains per gallon

Ve ry Hard Water

13 grains per gallon and above

NOTE: It might be necessary to use the Soak & Scrub cycle, or the Normal cycle with either a High Temp wash (if available) or Super Scrub option (if available) for best wash performance with very hard water.

For normally soiled loads:

■ Partially fill the Main Wash

section (2 tbs or 30 g)

■ Fill the Pre-Wash section

(2 tbs or 30 g)

NOTE: Add only 1 tb or 15 g of detergent to the Pre-Wash section if dis hes a r e pr e-ri nsed or the water is very soft (0 to 2 grains per gallon).

For baked on soil loads:

■ Fill the Main Wash section

(2 tbs or 30 g)

■ Fill the Pre-Wash section

(2 tbs or 30 g)

For heavily soiled loads:

■ Fill the Main Wash section

(3 tbs or 45 g)

■ Fill the Pre-Wash section

(2 tbs or 30 g)

For normal and heavily soiled loads:

■ Fill the Main Wash section

(3 tbs or 45 g)

■ Fill the Pre-Wash section

(2 tbs or 30 g)

For normally soiled loads:

■ Fill the Main Wash section

(3 tbs or 45 g)

■ Fill the Pre-Wash section

(2 tbs or 30 g)

■ Turn the rinse aid dispenser to

a higher setting. See “Rinse Aid Dispenser” later in this section.

For heavily soiled loads:

■ Fill the Main Wash section

(3 tbs or 45 g)

■ Fill the Pre-Wash section

(2 tbs or 30 g)

■ Turn the rinse aid dispenser to

a higher setting. See “Rinse Aid Dispenser” later in this section.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.

Rinse Aid Dispenser

Dishwasher Efficiency T ips

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of t he rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 5.2 oz (153.7 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

1. M a ke sure the dishwasher door is fully open .

2. Turn the dispenser knob to OPEN and lift it out.

3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.

4. Cl ean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn it to CLOSED.

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dis hwashing results, water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low.

To chec k water temperature

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

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup.

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

4. I f the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat setting.

■ To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before

putting them into the dishwasher.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For mos t water conditions set the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.

To adjust the setting

Remove the dispenser knob, then turn the adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting.

■ Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever

possible. These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal cycle.

■ Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your

dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night to

reduce daytime heat buildup.

■ Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option

whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these option s. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

■ Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash

or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.

■ Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle

after meals until the dishwasher is full.

Cycle Selection Chart

Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START to use 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 no t run t he dis hwash er daily, close the door t o

maintain memory.

A “●” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have some or all of the cycles shown.

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters. 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. The cooler the water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
