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 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

This is the safety alert symbol,

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

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

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.

IM PORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• 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.

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.

TipOverHazard

Donot usedishwasheruntilcompletely 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 appro-

priate 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 a_d 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 "Dishwasher Care" section for winter

storage 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 packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important

safety information and useful operating tips.

7. Press START. Or press START to repeat the same cycle and

options as the previous cycle.

Using Your New l)ishwasi er

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 nnse 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.

5. Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

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

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 arid 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 back to the last cycle and options completed.

IMPORTANT:

• When the cycle starts you will see a moving 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 Selection Charf.")

DISHWASHER

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water, energy and save

time it is not necessary to rinse 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.

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

Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if

possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all

surfaces.

Load heavy pots and pans carefully. 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. Conserve water, energy and save time over hand rinsing by

running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist 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.
