Dishwasher Safety
Your safety and the safety of others is 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 hazards that can kill or hurt you,and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the
word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
dishwasher, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
l Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
l Use the dishwasher only for its
intended function.
l Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher
and keep them out of the reach of
children.
l 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.
l 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.
l Do not touch the heating element
during or immediately after use.
-When using the
l Do not operate the dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are properly in
place.
l Do not tamper with controls.
l Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the
door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
l To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or on the
dishwasher.
l 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.
l Remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dlshwasher until
completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result In serious injury
or cuts.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground
connector in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result In death,
fire, or electrical shock.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
l 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 conduc-
tor 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.
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.
l 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
- Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock.

Preparing to load your dishwasher
l To save water and energy, do not rinse
dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher.
l Remove large pieces of food, bones, and
other hard items.
l Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked
cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry
over a period of time. Run a Rinse & Hold
Loading for quiet operation
l Secure lightweight load items in the racks.
l Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., should not touch interior walls,
interfere with the spray arm’s rotation, or
cover the spray tower.
l Load dishes so they do not touch one
another.
cycle (if available) to keep dishes moist if
you do not plan to wash them soon.
l Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the
rotating spray arm.
l Load dishes so they are not stacked or
NOTE:
during dishwasher operation to prevent
noise transfer through drains.
Keep sink drain plugs inserted
overlapping. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled
surfaces
for best
washing. For best drying, water must be
able to drain from all surfaces.
Loading the siIverware basket
l Load the silverware basket while it is in the
bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE:
The loaded basket must be placed
in the center front (Style 1 basket fits over
the spray tower) of the bottom rack for
proper washing.
l Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,
etc.) in any section.
l 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, forks, etc.) pointing down.
l You can also remove the basket for easy
unloading. Always unload or remove the
basket before unloading the racks to avoid
spilling water on the silverware.

Using the Dispensers
For best washing results, review the information below. It is important to use detergents and
rinse agents properly.
Using the detergent dispenser
l
Use automatic dishwashing detergent
only.
Other detergents are too mild and
much too sudsy.
l Add detergent just before starting cycle.
l Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry
place.
Fresh automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better cleaning.
Filling the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one section
with a cover and one without. Push cover
down firmly until it latches. Detergent in the
open section falls into the dishwasher when
closing the door. The covered section opens
automatically for the main wash.
NOTE:
It is normal for the cover to open
partially when dispensing detergent.
Cover Cover latch
How much detergent to use
l 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.
l Different brands of dishwasher detergent
have different amounts of phosphorus for
softening water. If you have hard water
and use low phosphorus content detergent
(8.7% or less), you may need to use more
detergent or use a detergent with a higher
phosphorus content (12%).
l Find out your water’s hardness by asking
your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.
