iNSTRUCTiONS

Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this manualare notmeant to cover all possibleconditionsand situa- tions that may occur.Commonsense, caution,and care mustbe exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the dish-

washer. Always contact your dealer,distributor, service agent, or manu-

facturerabout problems or conditionsyou do not understand.

Productswith a (_ label have been listed with Underwriter's Laboratories,Inc. - those with a CSA tag have been listed with

Canadian Standards Association. Nevertheless, as with any

other equipment using electricity and moving parts, there is a

potential hazard.

1. Readall instructionsbefore using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasheronly for its intendedfunction.

3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before attempting to service.

4. Toavoid electricalshock hazard,the sides and backmust be enclosedand thefront panelsmustbe attached before

electrical poweris applied to the dishwasher.Refer to the

installationinstructions for proper grounding procedures.

5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electricaloverload.

6. Children shouldnever be permittedto operate, or play in, with, or around thisdishwasher.

7. To reduce the risk d injury when loading items to be washed,sharp or pointeditemsshouldbe locatedwith the

handlesup. Also, load sharpitems so they arenot likelyto damagethe door seal.

8. Do not touchthe heatingelement onthe bottomof the tub during or at the completionof acycle. It will be hot.

9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for an automaticdishwasher.Neveruse soap, laundrydetergent,

or handwashing detergentinyour dishwasher.Keepthese productsout of reachof children.

10.

Do not sit,stand on or abuse the door or dish racksof the dishwasher.

11.

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 systemhas notbeen usedfor sucha period,turn on

all hot water faucets and let the water flow from eachfor several minutes.This will release any accumulatedhydro-

gen gas.As the gas isflammable,do not smoke or use an open flame duringthis process.

12.

Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,

checkthe manufacturer's recommendations.

13. Do not tamper with controls.

14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation risks, always remove the door to the washing compart- ment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher.Disheswill be hot if unloaded shortlyafter a cycle hascompleted.

] Save These Instructions for Future Reference

Don'tprerinse.Simply scrapeoffany bonesor largefood particles.

If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is empty

before starting the dishwasher. Scrape off tomato-basedfood soils

(see page 8). Remove certain foods (such as mus-

tard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vine- gar, salt or dressings)from stainless

steel flatware as soon as possible. These foods may cause rusting and

pitting if allowed to remain in contact with the surface for an extendedperi-

od of time.

Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing center.

Items can be centered behind a single tine or loadedat an angleto maximize

space. Load itemssothey do not restover the

top of the washtower. Avoid blocking the upper and lower

spray arms by not allowing items to extend beyond the racks.

REMOVABLEUTENSIL BASKET(Design varies by model)

For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together by placing some items in the basket with handles up and

some with handles down. Load knives, handlesup, through the slotsin the hinged

covered section(s)(when closed). Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do

not extend through the basket.

This could block the lower

For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be 120-140° F (49-60o C) to properly acti- vatethe detergent and melt greasy food

soils.

Tocheck the incoming water temperature, turn on the hot water faucet nearest the

dishwasherand let it runintoa glass inthe sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising. If the temperature is below 1200F (490C), havea qualified per-

son raise the water heater thermostatset- ting.

Beforestarting the dishwasher,turn on the hot water faucet and let it run until the

water is hot.This assuresthat the initialfill

ofwater is hot.

ing. Too much detergent can cause per- manent etching/cloudiness.

Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher.Be sure it

isfresh and stored ina cool, dry place(not under the sink).

The amount of detergent to use is deter- mined by the hardness of the water and

soil levelof the load. Referto thefollowing chart for detergent usage recommenda-

tions.

Leavethe detergentlid openwhenrunning Rinse Only.

In extremely hard water conditions (13 grainsper gallon or more*), it isdifficult to

achievegood results with any dishwasher.

A mechanical water softener may be nec-

essaryto improve water quality, detergent effectiveness, and protect the dishwasher

partsfrom the damagethat hard watercan cause.

*Your local water utility or state uni- versity extension service can tell you the degree of water hardness in your

area.

** Add recommended amount of detergent to both compartments for

AutoClean, Heavy or Normal wash

cycles, and to the main cup only for the Light wash cycle.

Regular use of a rinse aid improves drying, reduces spotting and filming,

and reduces moisture left on the dish- washer interior,

Your dishwasher features an automatic rinseaid dispenser located nearthe deter-

gent cups in the door.

The clear window in the center of the dis- penser cap allows you to see if there is

rinseaid inthe reservoir.When thewindow is colored, there is rinse aid in the dis- penser. When the window becomesclear,

it is time to refill the dispenser.Check the dispenser monthly.

Toadd rinse aid to the dispenser,turn the cap counterclockwise to open. Remove the cap and pour liquid rinse aid into the

opening.Replacethe cap and turn it clock-

wise.

Use the LESS setting for soft water and

the MORE setting for hard water. Set the

cap anywhere between these amounts as needed.
