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.

IMPORTANT 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.

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

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

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

Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher 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.

Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Performance Tips.") Turn off

water.

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 the previous cycle.

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.

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 Charts.")

DISHWASHER

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

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 into 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.

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.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. Many items, up to 9 in. (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.

• 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 TM mesh sack This sack hangs on the front of the bottom rack. Use it to hold

small items that could otherwise "fly" around inside the dishwasher during a cycle.

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.

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Charts.")

• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

• Add detergent just before starting a 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 pushing the cover latch.

Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How much detergent to use."

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.

DISHWASHER USE

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close

the door.

1. Cover latch

2. Main Wash section

3. Pre-Wash section

4. Cover

3. Fill the Pre-Wash section, if needed.

4. Close the dispenser cover.

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

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the main wash section for cycles with 1 wash. See the "Cycle

Selection Charts" for more details.

How much detergent 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.

• If you do not know your water hardness, call the Customer Interaction Center and ask for a free water hardness test

strip, Part Number 4171690. Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different

amounts of phosphorus 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 Hardness Amount of Detergent

Soft to Medium For normally soiled loads Hard Water • Partially fill the Main Wash

0 to 6 grains per section to the 20 line gallon • Completely fill the Pre-Wash

section

NOTE: Fill the Pre-Wash section halfway if dishes are pre-rinsed or

the water is very soft (0 to 2 grains per gallon).

For heavily soiled loads

• Partially fill the Main Wash section to the 30 line

• Completely fill the Pre-Wash section

Medium to Hard Water

7 to 12 grains per gallon

For normal and heavily soiled loads

very hard water.

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. If you use detergent tablets, use one whole tablet in the Main Wash section only, for all loads and water hardness levels.

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 the 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 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under

normal conditions, this will last for about three months. Rinse aid is released through an opening in the dispenser. When latched properly, the cover remains closed. The cover should be opened only when refilling the dispenser. 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. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2. Open the dispenser by pushing the cover latch.

2. Rinse aid dispenser

3. Indicator window

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

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Close the cover. NOTE: The cover latch clicks when the cover is closed and

latched.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For most 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 Open the dispenser cover. Turn the adjuster inside the dispenser

to the desired setting.

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function. Ifyour water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the faucet closest to the

dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.

To check 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.

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

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

Choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil in your dish load.

Do not worry about mixed loads. Any item that is dishwasher safe can be washed using any 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. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

Use the heated dry option for best drying performance. Always use rinse aid.

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle for better performance.

Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full.

If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash performance.

Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press the Start pad 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 the Start pad.

• If the power is off or the door is open for an extended period of time, the Start pad 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 "O" 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 ENERGYSTAR_ 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. The cooler the water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot enough, the cycle time will be as shown.

Use this cycle for hard-

to-clean, baked-on,

cookware and harder than normal water conditions.
