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
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

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.

• 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.
When loading silverware, always place sharp

items pointing down. Mix other items
pointing up and some pointing down.

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 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.

• For optimum
performance, tablet
detergent is

recommended. A. Cover latch

B. Main Wash section
C. Pre-Wash section

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 the main

compartment and close the lid.

Using dishwasher detergent tablets and packs have been proven
better than powder, liquid or gel detergents to reduce filming on

your dishes. By using these tablets and packs, over time this will
start to reduce or eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse aid you

can minimize repeat buildup of white film.

Powder 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 detergent.

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 "Refill" level.

To add rinse aid, turn the

dispenser cap to "Open"

and lift off. Pour rinse aid
into the opening until the

indicator level is at "Full."

CLEANING THE DISHWASHER

Drain air gap

Cleaning the exterior

Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a

stainless steel cleaner is recommended - Stainless Steel Cleaner
and Polish Part Number 31464.

Cleaning the interior

Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent

on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is

an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe

measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry

option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure
Removal of Hard Water / Filming: Recommended use of a

monthly maintenance product such as affresh ®t 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.

NOTE: Recommended to use a premeasured detergent tablet or
pack for regular daily use.

If you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the

dishwasher isn't draining
well.

To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or
Extended Time Without Use

• When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer
months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.

• Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase
water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or
home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

• When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.

DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUN NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.

If the START/RESUME light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door firmly within

3 seconds.

Press and hold HI TEMP WASH for 3 seconds to turn the audible tones on or off.
Be sure the door is closed and latched.

Be sure you have selected a cycle. See "Cycles and Options Descriptions."
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse might have tripped.

If lights other than START/RESUME blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.

OFTUB Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.

Be sure the cycle has been completed (green light is on). If it has not been completed, you will need

to resume the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door within 3 seconds.

CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:

• To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run for
up to 3 hours.

• A water heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is best. The dishwasher will delay longer while heating
cooler water.

• Some options will add time to the cycle. See "Cycles and Options Descriptions" section. The
Heated Dry option adds 1/2hour.

Try the Quick Wash cycle.

Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.

DISHWASHER NOT DRYING 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 Heated 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.

WILL NOT FILL Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.

Check that the float is free from obstructions. (See "Parts and Features.")
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may

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 Heated 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 "Prepare and Load the Dishwasher".
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Jetclean®/Jetclean ®Plus Steam cycle

with the Steam Sanitize option 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).
If the sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final rinse,

or your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120°F (49°C).
Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. See specific loading

instructions within this guide.
If the START/RESUME light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door within 3 seconds.

If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, 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 Hi Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.

• Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and metal
items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a

normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. No detergent is needed.

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.
