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 is the safety alert symbol. 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 “WARNING.”

These words mean:

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

DANGER

WARNING

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.

■ Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

are properly in place.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You instructions.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, 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 or lid 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 appropriate 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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.

IMPORTANT: Do not block detergent dispenser.

Tall items placed in the lower rack may block the dispenser door. Cookie sheets and cutting boards loaded on the left-hand side of the dishwasher can easily block the dispenser. If detergent is inside of the dispenser or on the bottom of the tub after the cycle is complete, the dispenser was blocked.

Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.

You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance (sample included). Rinse aid along with the Heat Dry option will provide best drying and avoid

1 Hour Wash - When you need fast results.

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. When you need fast results, the 1 Hour Wash will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy. Select the Heat Dry option to speed drying times (adds approximately 35 minutes to the 1 Hour Wash cycle).

Heavy Duty cycle for tough soil cleaning

The Heavy Duty cycle is recommended for tough soil loads. Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware. No need to prerinse dishes; just scrape and load.

ProScrub® Option loading to clean baked-on food (on some models)

When the ProScrub® option is selected, it provides a concentrated wash on the back of the lower dish rack for hard-to-clean dishes. Place these dishes with the soiled surface of the dish toward the ProScrub

spray jets in the lower rack of the dishwasher.

Press START/RESUME every time you add a dish.

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as,

for adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option), the START/RESUME button must be pressed each time.

If the START/RESUME button is located on top of door: Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.

Proper Detergent Dosing

It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Add Detergent” in the “Dishwasher Use” section to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness.

Quick Steps

Prepare and load

dishwasher.

Add detergent

for cleaning and rinse aid for drying.

Dishwasher Use

STEP 1

Prepare and Load the Dishwasher

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other

hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

Select a cycle and option (cycles and options vary by model).

Start dishwasher.

NOTE: If the Start/Resume button is

located on the top of door, push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp

items pointing down. Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

Upper rack Lower rack

■ Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from

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

■ Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items

are blocking the detergent dispenser.

■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and

inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and drying results.

■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

■ Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.

Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”

■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load

dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

■ Improper loading can cause dishes to be chipped or damaged.

When loading glasses or mugs, it is best to load these items in between rows of tines instead of loading them over tines, as shown in the image above.

STEP 2

Add Detergent

NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a Rinse

Only cycle (on some models). Do not use detergent.

■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid

or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.

■ Fresh automatic

dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.

■ The amount of detergent to use depends on:

How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads require more detergent.

The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) [typical water softener water and some city water]

Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water]

■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section

of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-wash section to the level shown, if needed.

detergent types. Premeasured forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in the main compartment and close the lid.

Add Rinse Aid

■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying

performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.

■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can

dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.

■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish

racks and interior of your dishwasher.

■ Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator

drops to “Add” level.

■ To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap

to “Refill” and lift off. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level is at “Full.” Replace the dispenser cap and turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap is fully locked.

NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.
