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
happen if the instructions are not followed.

START-UP GUIDE
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials.
Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important
safety information and useful operating tips.
Using Your New Dishwasher
1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse
aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run
hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water
is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
5. Select the desired cycle. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
6. Select the desired option. (See "Option Selections.")
OR
Stopping Your Dishwasher
You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.
1. Open the door slightly .
2. Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all
the way, if needed.
3. Close the door to continue the cycle.
OR
1. Turn the Cycle Control knob slowly clockwise until you hear
water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely.
2. Open the door.
3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.
DISHWASHER LOADING
Loading Suggestions
■ Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes
before putting them in the dishwasher.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells
enter the wash system, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal. Do
not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the
wash system. Damage can occur.
■ Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or
inward). It is importa nt for the water spray to reach all soiled
surfaces.
■ Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain fr om all
surfaces.
■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
■ Run a rinse cycle (on some models) to keep dishes moist if
you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice,
pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if
they are left to dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
■ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not touch inter ior walls or inter fere with the r otat ion of
the spray arm.
■ Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
7
Loading the Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.
(See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
Do not cover third level wash (on some models). See arrow.
Cup and glass load
Mixed load
■ Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
■ Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is
not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.
■ Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing
them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
■ To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
■ China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each
other during dishwasher operation. Damage can occur.
■ Wed ge lightweigh t items against one ano ther or ove rlap them
with heavier dishes.
■ Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash only
plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■ Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the
top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
Extra-capacity fold-down shelves
(on some models)
Fold down the extra shelf on the top ra ck to hold additional cups,
or long items such as utensils and spatulas.
Loading the Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be load ed
with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See
recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.
Mixed load
■ Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom
rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are
secured in place.
■ Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing
inward to the spray.
■ Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
■ Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety
of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls
securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
Utensil load
■ Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the
sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the
water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and
silverware basket.
■ Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
■ Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation
of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.
■ Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of
the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.
NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
8
Loading the Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
Style 1
(on some models)
DISHWASHER USE
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section
empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.
1.
1. Cover
2. Main wash section
3. Cover latch
4. Pre-wash section
2. 3.
4.
Style 2
(on some models)
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
IMPORTANT : Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
NOTES:
■ Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
■ Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corro de silver war e . Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
The Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the
dishwasher during the main wash. (See the “Cycle Selection
Chart.”)
■ Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
■ Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
■ Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
Filling the dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing
the Cover latch.
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How Much
Detergent to Use.”
3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash
section if needed.
It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing
detergent.
NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the
covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection
Chart” for more details.
How much detergent to use
■ The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of
your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,
dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
■ Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out
your water’s hardne ss by ask ing you r loca l water de partmen t,
water softener company, or county extension agent.
■ Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosp hor ous f or softenin g water. If you h ave har d
water and use a deterg ent with a phosphor ous content of less
than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a
detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

Where to fill
Top of 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small
amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.
Top of 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)
Top of 1st step (1 tb or 15 g)
Water Hardness Amount of Detergent
Soft to Medium
Hard Water
0 to 6 grains per
gallon
For normally soiled loads
■ Fill the Main Wash section to the
top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)
■ Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)
if needed
NOTE: Add only 1 tb or 15 g of
detergent to both sections if dishes
are pre-rinsed or the water is very
soft (0 to 2 grains per gallon).
For heavily soiled loads
■ Fill the Main Wash section to the
top of the 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)
■ Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)
Checking the dispenser
Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs
filling.
OR
Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. If an “E” is visible, the
dispenser is empty.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do
not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. T ry to keep
it full, but be careful not to overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.
2. Remove the Fill Indicator cap.
3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of
the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out,
and could cause oversudsing.
Medium to Hard
Water
7 to 12 grains per
gallon
For normally soiled and
heavily soiled loads
■ Fill the Main Wash section to the
top of the 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)
■ Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)
if needed
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standar d powd er e d detergent.
Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered
detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid
dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

Dishwasher Efficiency Tips
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.
Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least
120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishw asher. Loads may not wash as
well if the water temperature is too low.
To check water temperature
Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at
1.
least 1 minute.
Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring
2.
cup.
Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is
3.
running into the cup.
If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C),
4.
have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat
setting.
■ To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.
These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal
cycle.
■ Use a delay featur e (o n som e m odels) to run your d ishwashe r
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
■ Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow
longer drying times (overnight) when using th ese options. Use
a rinse aid to improve drying.
■ Use cycles or options that add extr a heat to the wash o r rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
■ Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
Cycle Selection Chart
Select the wash cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the
cycles start and stop as the Cycle Control knob passes each
cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If
you prefer, you can set the Cycle Control knob with the door
unlatched.
Use the Energy-Saver Dry option with the Rinse & Hold
