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 killor hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This isthe 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 isflammable. 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.

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.

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

DISHWASHER

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.

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 rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically, 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.") Press START. Or press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.

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.

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.

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 Chart.")

The top rackisdesigned forcups,glasses,and smalleritems. Many items,up to9 in(22cm),fitinthetop rack.(See

recommended loading patterns shown.) NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.
