Important Safety Instructions
1
Please Read & Save this Information
WARNING
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious in­jury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualied service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualied service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.
NOTICE
It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut o the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut o the incoming power supply. See the installation Instructions or contact your installer for more information.
Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for the possible damages or consequences.
Electrical shock or re could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual if you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!
4
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:
This dishwasher is provided with Installation 1. Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before installing or using the dishwasher.
2.
This appliance must be grounded to a 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. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.
3.
Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.
4.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
5.
When loading items to be washed:
a. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
6.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children 7. to play in or on the dishwasher.
When children become old enough to operate 8. the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualied persons.
9.
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. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ow from each for several minutes, open windows to ventilate the house. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.
10.
Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.
b. Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut­ type injuries.
c. 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.
d. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
e. Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks
11.
To avoid oor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” that automatically adjust the cycle based on soil loads and incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. The cycle times listed in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.
See the Cycles and Options Charts to determine the cycles available for your specic model.
NOTE: On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce the water consumption by approximately 30 percent in the Power Scrub Plus, Regular, and Auto Wash cycles.
A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certi ed by the NSF International to meet very strict requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certication is available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp. Your dishwasher is NSF certied. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certied are shown in the chart above. When these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate. However, if your household water supply is to hot your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced, and the Sanitized message may not show.
