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.
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.")
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 anothen
NOTE:Forbuilt-inmodels,keepsinkdrainplugsclosedduring

DISHWASHER USE
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-Wash
section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close
the door.
!. 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
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.
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%.

Very Hard Water
13 grains per gallon
and above
NOTE: It might be
necessary to use the
Baked on Cookware
cycle, or a normal
cycle with Hi-Temp
Scrub, for best wash
performance with
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.
For normally and
heavily soiled loads
• Completely fill the Main Wash
section
• Completely fill the Pre-Wash
section
• Turn the rinse aid dispenser to a
higher setting. See "Rinse Aid
Dispenser" later in this section.
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.
_3
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
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.
Use this cycle for china and
crystal. This cycle uses a
light wash and gentle dry.
During the heated dry, the
heating element cycles on
and off.
