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.

■ 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

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.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Quick Steps

Prepare and load

dishwasher.

Add detergent

and rinse aid.

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.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp

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

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.

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 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.

MAIN WASH

Hard Water Soft Water

PREWASH

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

STEP 3

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)

NOTE: Heavier cycles and

options affect cycle length. Some cycles and options will take up to 3¹⁄₂ hours to complete.

Heavy – Use for heavily soiled,

hard-to-clean items.

Normal – Use for normal food

soil. The energy usage label is based on this cycle.

Light – Uses less energy for lightly soiled loads.

1-Hr Wash – Use for lightly soiled items. For fast results, 1-Hr Wash will clean the dishes using slightly more water and energy.

Rinse Only – (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent.

This is only a rinse that keeps food from drying on your dishes and reduces odor buildup in your dishwasher until you are ready to wash a full load.

Select Options (options vary by model)

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. Repeatedly press the button until the desired option is selected

Hi-Temp – (use only with Heavy and

Normal wash cycles) heats the water during the wash portions of the cycle.

Sani Rinse – (all cycles except Light and Rinse Only) To sanitize your dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Raises the water temperature in the final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C). Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for license food establishments.

Heated Dry – (all cycles except Rinse Only) use for best drying

results. Turn off by pressing Heated Dry so that the light goes off.

4-Hr Delay – (any cycle) offers the choice to start the dishwasher

automatically at a later time. Select a wash cycle and options. Press 4-Hr Delay. Press START/RESUME. Close the door firmly.

STEP 4

¹⁄₄ turn to lock

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

Start or Resume a Cycle

■ Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the

water is hot. Turn off water.

■ Push door firmly closed. The door latches

automatically. Select the wash cycle and options desired and press START/RESUME OR press START/ RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle.

■ You can add an item anytime before the main wash

starts. Open the door slowly and add the item. Close the door firmly. Press the START/RESUME button, the cycle resumes automatically at the point of interruption.

■ You may cancel a cycle anytime by pressing CANCEL/

DRAIN.

Dishwasher Care

CLEANING THE DISHWASHER

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

To help avoid odor or odor-causing residue in your dishwasher, use

affresh month as part of routine maintenance. Affresh disposer cleaner is effective in all dishwasher brands.

IMPORTANT:

3. Lift slightly on the hose connector while pulling down the

locking collar. Pull down on the connector.

4. Empty any remaining water from the connector by turning the

connector upside-down.

5. Unplug the power supply cord and return it to the storage

compartment.

6. Return the hoses to the storage compartment.

1. Remove all dishware from the dishwasher. Open the

dishwasher and place 1 affresh

dishwasher and disposer tablet in the main detergent tray and close the tray. Place another tablet in the prewash tray or simply place 1 tablet in the bottom of the dishwasher. Close the dishwasher. Run the dishwasher on the most aggressive cycle - heavy duty scrub, heated water, etc.

2. Place 1 affresh® dishwasher and disposal tablet into the

garbage disposal. Turn on hot water to slow flow. Run the disposal and water for 15 seconds. Turn off disposal and water. Do not flush disposal completely with water. Water from the dishwasher will clean out the disposal. If no garbage disposal, skip this step.

Drain air gap

If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn't draining well.

Storing the Dishwasher

If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

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

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.

Be sure the door is closed and latched. Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information.”) Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. If lights other than START/RESUME blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.

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 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.

■ 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 (49ºC) is best. The dishwasher will delay longer while heating

cooler water.

■ Some options will add time to the cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information” section.) The

Heated Dry option adds ½ hour. Try the Insta Wash cycle. Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.

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. Use of the High Temp Wash option will improve drying results. 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.

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 not operate properly or may not fill with water.

WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/ WILL NOT DRAIN

HARD WATER (WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE)

Be sure the cycle has completed (the green light is on). If the cycle has not completed, you will need to resume the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door within 3 seconds.

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 a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month. Always use a rinse aid. Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent. Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.

PROBLEM SOLUTION ODORS NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load daily until a

full load is ready to run. 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.”

NOISY 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.

FOOD SOILS REMAIN ON DISHES

Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance (see “Loading for Best Performance”).

Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots Pans cycle with the Hi Temp option can be used for tougher loads.

Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49ºC). 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).

DID NOT SANITIZE 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 120ºF (49ºC).

DAMAGE TO DISHWARE Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading

instructions within this guide.)

BLINKING LIGHTS 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.

CLOUDY OR SPOTTED DISHWARE (AND HARD WATER SOLUTION)

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 (49ºC). 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.

ETCHING (PERMANENT CLOUDINESS)

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 (49ºC).

LEAKING WATER 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.

TUB IS DISCOLORED 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.
