iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
[] Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. [] Do not tamper with controls. [] 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.
[] 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.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
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
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.

Detergent
The United States has passed a restriction limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in the household dishwasher
detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous detergents contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have reformulated their
dishwasher detergent for this change in detergents as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With these recent changes it is
recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and improved performance.
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and
optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal cleaning performance. Maintenance of your filters regularly will
sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both your upper and lower filter and rinse under running water at least
once a month.

IMPORTANT: Do not block detergent dispenser. Sensor Wash cycle for optimal cleaning
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 rinse aid for good
drying performance (sample included). Rinse aid along
with the Precision Dry®or Precision Dry®+ option will
provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the
dishwasher interior.
1 Hour Wash 'When you need fast results.
High Efficiency 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 your
dishes using slightly more water and energy. For improved drying, select the Precision Dry®
or Precision Dry®+ option to add additional time to dry.
The most advanced and versatile cycle.
Sensor Wash cycle senses the load size, soil
amount, and toughness of soil, to adjust the
cycle for optimal cleaning using only the
amount of water and energy needed. The
Sensor Wash and Heavy Wash cycles are
recommended for tough soil. No need to
prerinse dishes; just scrape and load.
Press START/RESUME every time you add a dish.
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such
as, 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.
It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See "Add Detergent"
and "Add Rinse Aid" sections to determine the amount of
detergent needed based on your water hardness. Using
dishwasher detergent tablets and packs have been proven
better than powder, liquid or gel detergents to reduce filming
on your dishes.

RESUME. If door is not closed within
3 seconds, the Start indicator will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
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 angled toward the spray. 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. 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.
STEP 2
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container
in a cool, dry place.
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 3 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.
Premeasured Detergents
Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs,
tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in main
compartment and close lid.
Using dishwasher detergent tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid or gel detergents at reducing filming on
dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse aid you can minimize
repeat buildup of white film.
Powders and Gels
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.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Follow
instructions on the package when using other dishwasher
Soft Water

detergent types.
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.

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require
maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper
filter assembly and a lower filter.
The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food

particles, out of the pump.
The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.

The filters may need to be cleaned when:
Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter

Assembly.
There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes).
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning

Cleaning the interior Removal of Hard Water/Filming
For removal of hard water/filming, it is recommended use of a monthly maintenance product such as affresh ®Dishwasher Cleaner Part Number W10282479.
Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by filming / hard water).
Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.
Select cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start dishwasher.
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
NOTE: Recommended to use a premeasured detergent tablet or pack for regular daily
use.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may
cause foaming or sudsing. To clean interior:
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean. OR Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge. OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Cloudy or Spotted Dishware" in the "Troubleshooting" section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.

Drain Air Gap
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air gap when your
dishwasher is not draining well.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.
To clean the drain air gap
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil
buildup. Clean if necessary.

NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle. If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME.
Be sure the door is closed and latched. Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the back of
the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and latched. Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" section.)
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.
If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service. Check that the water shutoff valve, if installed, is turned on.
Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.
Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free. Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to
resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME. NOTES:

NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous
surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. Use of rinse aid along with the Precision Dry®or Precision Dry®+ option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this guide.) Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when
unloading.
Unload the bottom rack first.
Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results. Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher. Check that the float is free from obstructions. (See "Parts and Features" to identify the location of the
float.) Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate
properly or may not fill with water. (See "BLINKING LIGHTS" in "Troubleshooting.") Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle
by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME. If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed
from the disposer inlet. Check for kinks in the drain hose.
Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer. Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it difficult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is
15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help: Use affresh ®dishwasher cleaner to remove buildup from dishwasher and dishware once per month.
Clean the upper and lower filters at least once per month. (See Cleaning Instructions in "Filtration System" section.)
Always use a rinse aid. Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent.
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers. NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load until a full
load is ready to run, or use the Top Rack Only option (on some models) for partial loads. Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright
glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heat Dry option turned off. Do not use detergent.
The dishwasher may not be draining properly, see "WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN" in "Troubleshooting."
NOTES:
Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.
Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.
A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
Improper installation will affect noise levels.
Be sure the filters are properly installed. A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms.
Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle. Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing
performance (see "Dishwasher Use"). Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See Cleaning Instructions in "Filtration
System" section for details.) Select the proper cycle for the type of soils. The Sensor Wash or the Heavy Wash cycles can be used
for tougher loads. Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled loads and hard water conditions.
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).

Blinking LED's can also occur when certain errors have been detected. In this case, the Clean/ Complete LED will blink 4 times in a row with a pause in between each set of blinks. When this error
occurs, the controls will lock out and not allow another cycle to be started. Call for service.
NOTES:
Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. (See
"HARD WATER [WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE] in "Troubleshooting.") If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C). Try using the Super Scrub and Sanitize options.
To remove spotting, see the "Dishwasher Care" section. This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water that
is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid further
etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level. Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only
detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid overfilling.
NOTES:
High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
The Clean light is flashing Check the following:
Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.
Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. (This is very important following the new installation of your dishwasher.)
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent
for hand washing dishes.
Forgetting to replace the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
