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.

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.

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

from dishes. You do not need to prerinse your dishes.

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 models KUDP01IL and KUDP01FL: 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.

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 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 Selections.”)

To p R a c k

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.

For Model KUDP01DL:

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.

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

SURE-HOLD® utility shelf

Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such as utensils and spatulas.

■ 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.

FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ flexible tines

The row of tines on the left-hand side of the top rack can be adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes.

To adjust the flexible tines

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

2. Gently push the tine out of the holder.

3. Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack.

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

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.

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.

■ 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.

CULINARY CADDY® utensil basket

Use the utensil basket to hold specialty cooking utensils (wooden spoons, spatulas, and similar items), or overflow silverware items.

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

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

The basket hangs on the bottom rack in the right-hand corner. Load the basket while it is on the bottom rack or remove the basket for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.

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. (See recommended loading pattern shown.)

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

■ Load items with covers down, using the separators, to prevent

silverware nesting.

■ Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob

holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place.

■ When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket

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

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.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp 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.
