IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning
on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to
escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
WARNING
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER
Junked or abandoned dishwashers are dangerous…even if they will sit for
“just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your dishwasher, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Ŷ
Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside this or any discarded
appliance.
Ŷ
Take off the door of the washing compartment or remove the latch by
disengaging the two retaining snaps using a flat-blade screwdriver (as shown).
CAUTION
Ŷ
During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to
the touch. Use care before handling.
Ŷ
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is
used by or near children. Do not allow children to
play around the dishwasher when closing the door,
closing the upper rack, or while vertically adjusting
the upper rack due to the possibility of small fingers
being pinched.

Rinse agents, such as Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to
protect against spots and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.9 oz. (115 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will
last approximately one month.
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

Detergent Dispenser
To open, press the button and the cover will flip back.
The detergent dispenser has two compartments. The
pre-wash compartment is the smaller compartment on
the left side. Use the pre-wash compartment only when
your water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy
soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is not used
when tablet or packet detergents are used.
NOTE: Do not block detergent dispenser with large or
tall utensils.
Detergent
Dispenser
You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic
dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents
specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never
use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher.
Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use
of improper detergents.
Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their
original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place
detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher
and then close the cover. The cover will open during the
wash cycle.
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
We recommend using detergent in tablet or packet
form. Independent testing has shown this form of
detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Finish®
Quantum
detergent. Simply put a tablet or packet into the main
wash compartment and close the detergent cup cover.
Please notice that the tablet or packet must be placed in
the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. If the
tablet or packet is placed in the prewash compartment or
tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher, the detergent will
be flushed down the drain in a very short period of time
and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will be very
poor as a result.
If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel
form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined
by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your
water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher.
Contact your water company to get information about the
hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and
the table above to determine the amount of detergent
to use. You may purchase a hard water test strip from
Monogram. Call Monogram Preferred at 800-444-1845
and ask for part number WD01X10295. In Canada, call
800-661-1616.

Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very
hot water may cause a condition called etching on your
glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your
glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using
too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed
for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher
vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike,
store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space
from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the
dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher,
your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing
detergent that is not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

The upper rack is for glasses, cups, and
saucers. This is also a secure place for
dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack
can be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans,
mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped items
should be placed face down for best wash
performance.
The cup shelf may be placed in the up or down
position to add flexibility.

Have an
Air Gap?
The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher
tub and inner door provides the highest reliability
available in a Monogram dishwasher.
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during
the winter, ask a service technician to:
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher.
1
Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker.
Turn off the water supply and disconnect the
2
water inlet line from the water valve.
An air gap protects your dishwasher against
water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The
air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered
by your warranty. Not all
plumbing codes require air
gaps, so you may not have
one.

Check the air gap any
time your dishwasher
isn’t draining well.

scratched or dented during normal use, they will
not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will
not affect their function or durability.

Troubleshooting Tips
Dishwasher
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
SANITIZED light does
not illuminate at the
end of the cycle
Noise Normal operating sounds:
A white film on
glassware, dishware
and the interior
The door was opened and the
cycle was interrupted during
final rinse
The incoming water
temperature was too low
Beeping at the end of the cycle
Detergent cup opening
Water entering dishwasher
Motor stops and starts at
various times during cycle
Spray arms start and stop at
various times
Drain pump sounds during
pump out
Drain pump starts and stops
several times during each
drain
Rattling dishes when the spray
arm rotates
Rattling silverware against
door during wash
This problem is likely caused
by a low quality phosphatefree dishwasher detergent
Do not interrupt the cycle by opening the door during the wash
cycle.
Raise the water heater temperature to between 120°F and
150°F.
These are all normal. No action is required.
Make sure dishes are properly loaded. See the Loading
section.
Tall utensils may be placed in the upper rack to avoid bumping
against inner door during wash cycle.
To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher
cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found
online. Otherwise, use
your local grocery store.
Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover.
Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and dishware in
the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other metal items out of
the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on and let it run through
a complete cycle without detergent. The glassware, dishware,
and dishwasher should come out film free. Alternatively, a vinegar
rinse may be used. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into dishwasher just
after the detergent cup opens and let the dishwasher complete
its cycle.
This may be repeated several times a year as needed.
The use of a rinse agent such as
may help minimize a repeat build up of film. Also, the use of a
highly rated detergent such as
Dishwashing Detergent
Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner found at
Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid
Finish® Quantum® Automatic
will help prevent film build-up.
Forget to Add a Dish?
Additional items may be added to the dishwasher at any time, ideally items would be added shortly after starting a
wash cycle.
Open the door to interrupt the cycle. Pull the door
