Before Using Your 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.
Electrical Shock Hazard

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.
■

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.
Using Your New Dishwasher
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 1-3 months depending on your usage.
2.
Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes. You do not need to pre-rinse your dishes.
3.
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.
7.
Press START. The selected cycle and option lights will flash
once.
8.
Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.
NOTE:
If the dishwasher is not started before closing the
door, the cycle and options will revert to the last cycle and
options completed.
DISHWASHER
LOADING
4.
Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. (See
“Dishwasher Use.”)
5.
Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. (See “Dishwasher Performance Tips.”) Turn off
water.
6.
Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See
“Dishwasher Use.”)
Loading Suggestions
■
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.
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 such as 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.
6
NOTE:
For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

1. Cover latch
2. Main Wash section
3. Pre-Wash section
4. Cover
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent
into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the “Cycle Selection

■
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.

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%.

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 Aid Dispenser
3
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.

Dishwasher Performance Tips
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. If your 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.
1. 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.
3.
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.
13
Cycle Selection Charts
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.
