LARGE CAPACITY
SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE dishwashers allow you to load very large items in both the upper and lower racks. The tall
tub provides extra overall capacity and the clearance to accommodate large dishes. Extra large items (max. 14 in.) may be
loaded in the lower rack by raising the upper rack.
HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM
This system effectively dries dishes without the use of a heating element that would increase energy consumption.
STEAM WASHING
Steam technology provides better cleaning performance than regular wash systems. Steam provides the most energyefficient gentle care for your finest china and stemware.
VARIABLE SPRAY SYSTEM
Because the water spray alternates between the upper and lower racks, all of the power from the motor is directed to one
rack at a time. This concentrates all the cleaning power of the motor on each rack in turn.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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: This appliance 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 to the appliance.
•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.
•Connect the ground wire to the green ground connector in the terminal box. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
•The dishwasher is designed to be used with a standard household current (120 Volts AC, 60Hz.). Before
connecting the dishwasher, ensure that the outlet or cable is properly grounded and polarized by circuit
breakers or fuses. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock or malfunction.
•Never unplug your dishwasher by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet. The power cord may be damaged, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.
TIP OVER HAZARD
•Do not use the dishwasher until completely installed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
injury or cuts.
•Do not push down on the open dishwasher door. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury
or cuts.

Step1: Preparing Cabinet
Opening
This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard
1
dishwasher opening.
Select a location as close to the sink as possible
2
for easy connections to water and drain lines.
To ensure proper drainage, the dishwasher
3
should not be installed more than 12 ft. (3.65 m)
from the sink.
If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, a
4
minimum of 2 in. (50 mm) is required between
the dishwasher and the adjacent wall.
To allow for proper clearance of plumbing and
5
electrical, use the template included with the
literature to determine the clearance on the side
of the cabinet where the cabinet meets the back
wall. Using a 21/2" diameter hole saw, drill a hole
in the target area as shown on the template. DO
NOT USE AN EXISTING HOLE UNLESS IT IS
IN THE TARGET AREA.
WARNING
Don't use existing holes unless they are in the
target area. Otherwise, the water supply and
drain hose may be damaged by being crushed or
kinked.
For flush installations ONLY, you may remove the
cabinet brace inside the cabinet.

ENGLISH
CAUTION
Failure to properly locate the hole for the water
and drain lines may prevent the dishwasher from
installing flush with the cabinets and could result
in kinked or damaged lines. Installation damage
is not covered by the warranty, and leaks caused
by improper installation may result in property
damage.
An opening may be needed on both sides to route
plumbing and electrical connections.

Step5: Removing Lower
Cover
Remove the two screws attaching the lower
1
cover to the dishwasher.
Remove the lower cover from the base. Remove
2
the insulation pad from behind the access panel.
NOTE
If at any time the dishwasher is laid on its back,
take care not to damage the drain hose.
Step6: Sliding Dishwasher

OPERATION
Loading the Lower Rack
CAUTION
Non-Dishwasher safe items
The combination of high water temperature and
dishwasher detergents may damage certain
items. Do not wash the following items in the
dishwasher:
•Hand painted silver or gold leaf dishes
•Wood or bone handled utensils
•Iron or other rust-prone utensils
•Plastic items that are not dishwasher safe
When in doubt, check the manufacturers’
recommendations.
The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans, or
other utensils up to 14 inches high.
The lower rack is recommended for dinner plates,
soup bowls, dishes, pots, pans, lids, and grill trays.
Plates should be positioned vertically and facing the
center of the rack. Pots, pans, and large bowls must
be turned so that the inside faces downward. The
silverware basket may be used in either the lower or
upper rack.
The lower rack should not be used for small items
such as cups, wine glasses, or small plates. These
items should be loaded in the upper rack.
For models with steam, load heavily soiled or stained
dishes in the front left side of the lower rack with the
dirty side facing down. This is the area in which the
stream enters the dishwasher. The use of hot steam
maximizes the dishwasher’s cleaning performance.

Lower Rack Loading Tips:
•Load plates, soup bowls etc. between the tines.
•Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large
items on the sides or back of the rack. Loading
these items in the front of the dishwasher can
prevent the water spray from reaching the detergent
dispenser.
•Make sure that pot handles and other large items
do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.
NOTE
Make sure that large items do not interfere with
the rotation of the spray arms, and do not prevent
the detergent dispenser from opening.

OPERATION
Loading the Silverware
Basket
The silverware basket has separators to avoid
scratching and tarnishing of delicate silverware. The
basket can be separated into three separate baskets
that can be used individually in both the upper and
lower racks. Unlock the tabs above the left and right
sides to separate.
WARNING
Be careful when loading and unloading sharp
items. Load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of personal injury.
Silverware Loading Tips:
•For best cleaning results, use the top separators in
the basket when loading silverware. The separators
will prevent nesting of silverware.
•Load sharp items, such as knives, pointing down.
•When unloading the dishwasher, it is best to start
with the silverware basket. Doing so will prevent
water droplets from falling on your silverware from
the upper rack.
Loading the Upper Rack
Use the upper rack for small or delicate items such as
small plates, cups, saucers, glasses, and dishwashersafe plastic items. Cups, glasses, and bowls must
be positioned upside down. Extra cups or cooking
utensils can be laid on the fold down cup racks, which
may also provide support for long stemmed glasses.
Make sure items do not interfere with the rotation of
the spray arms above and below the upper rack.
NOTE
When loading larger items in the upper rack, such
as wine glasses or taller cups, it may be necessary
to remove the cutlery rack.
Suggested Loading Pattern
Additional Loading Pattern
Upper Rack Loading Tips:
•Place cups and glasses in the rows between the
rack tines. Placing them over the rack tines can
lead to breakage and water spots.
•To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other
items.
•Place items so that the open end faces down for
cleaning and drying.
•Do not stack items on top of each other.
OPERATION
27
Folding Down the Upper
Tines
Fold tines down to fit larger dishes; pull tines back up

Height Adjustable Upper
Rack
The upper rack adjusts up and down. Raise the upper
rack to allow items up to 14 inches tall in the lower
rack. Lower the upper rack to allow dishes up to 12
inches tall in the upper rack. The dishwasher ships
with the upper rack raised.
NOTE
After adjusting the rack, make sure that dishes in
the upper and lower racks do not interfere with
the rotation of the spray arm. Do not adjust the
rack while it is loaded with dishes.
Lowering the Rack:
1
Hold the rack at the center of each side to
support its weight. Then, lift the lever on each
side to release the rack and lower it to the lower
position.

OPERATION
Loading the Cutlery Rack
The cutlery rack is best suited for flatware and
most cooking or serving utensils. It can also fit
small prep bowls and lids. The separators on
the cutlery racks help keep flatware separated
to avoid damage and improve cleaning.
NOTE
For best cleaning performance, place flatware
in the silverware baskets. Heavily soiled utensils
or items with baked on foods should be placed
in the middle rack or spoon basket for best
performance.
If the handles of your flatware are too thick, then
reverse the pieces so that the handles face the
other direction.

Height Adjustable Tray
Each side tray can be adjusted independently to
a high or low position to accommodate utensils or
cutlery of different sizes. Remove dishes before
adjusting the tray. Adjust each tray by lifting it out and
rotating it front to back.
Removing the Cutlery Rack
The entire cutlery rack can be removed if more space
is needed on the upper rack for larger items.
NOTE
•Always remove the cutlery from the rack before
removing the rack.
Adding Cleaning Detergent
Adding Detergent to the Dispenser
•Only use detergent intended for automatic
dishwashers.
•Put detergent into the detergent compartment
before starting any cycle, except the Rinse Only
cycle.
•Use less detergent if the dishes are only lightly
soiled. Using excess detergent can leave a film on
dishes as well as in the dishwasher, resulting in
poor wash performance.
•The amount of detergent needed depends on the
cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.
NOTE
•Remove the label on the dispenser prior to
running the dishwasher for the first time.
•Do not add detergent when the Rinse Only
cycle is selected.
Press the lever on the bottom side of the lid to
1
open the dispenser.
ENGLISH
Pull the rack out to the end of the rails. Then, lift the
front of the rack so that the rollers clear the stop on
the end of the rail. The rack can now be slid forward
and removed from the rails.
WARNING
Be careful when loading and unloading items with
sharp edges. Load sharp knives with the blade
down to reduce the risk of injury.
Add dishwashing detergent to the main wash
2
compartment until the level is between the lines
marked 20 and 30. Fill to the 30 line for hard
water or heavily soiled loads. Fill to the 20 line
for soft water or lightly soiled loads.
Close the lid firmly until it clicks.
If a prewash is desired, fill the recessed prewash
3
compartment area in the lid with detergent.
30
OPERATION
NOTE
•Too much detergent can leave a film on dishes
and in the dishwasher, resulting in poor wash
performance.
•Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash
cycles. The tablet may not dissolve completely,
causing detergent residue on dishes and
inefficient cleaning. Using a wash booster
helps remove spots, residue, and the white film
caused by hard water. It does not help remove
excess detergent residue.
CAUTION
Detergent Information
Use only detergent intended for automatic
dishwashers. Incorrect detergent may cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds during operation.
Excess suds may reduce wash performance and
may cause the dishwasher to leak. DO NOT use
hand dishwashing detergent in this dishwasher.
Adding Rinse Aid to the Dispenser

Rinse Aid Dispenser Adjustment
The rinse aid dispenser is set to level 4, which
provides the best performance under most conditions.
Adjust the setting higher if you have hard water and
notice calcium buildup on your dishes.
If you notice a film on your dishes, use a lower setting.
Setting the rinse aid control too low will contribute
to spotting and streaking on dishes and poor drying
performance. Setting the control too high can cause
foaming, which will cause poor wash performance. To
