IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Please READ and
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 unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by an authorized service technician using only original equipment factory
replacement parts.
Electrical shock or fire 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 unless 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!
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6 for soil removal and sanitation efficacy. There is
no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a certified machine have passed the sanitization performance
test.
NOTICE
Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for the possible damages
or consequences.
It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and
the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or contact your installer for more
information.
NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or serious injury, observe the following:
1 This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all
instructions before 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 chil-
dren.
5 When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their 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 operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
2
6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
7 To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
8 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents/legal guard-
ians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified 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 flow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this
time.
10

11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
12 Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Dam-
age caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.
13 For a cord-connect appliance:
• This appliance 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. This appliance 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.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Loading the Dishwasher
Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached soiling. Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease.
Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require some pretreatment. Refer to the Dishware Materials section
on page 5 for more information about dishware suitability.
Load only dishwasher safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots and
pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.
Loading the Top Rack
Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.
Note: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the top rack spray
arm connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.
Loading the Bottom Rack
Place large items in the bottom rack. Load pots, pans and bowls upside down. Do not block vent with tall baking sheets.
Load these items on the left side of the dishwasher.
Unloading the Dishwasher
When unloading the dishwasher it is best to unload the bottom rack first. Next, unload the silverware basket followed by
the top rack.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything
other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Aid
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use powdered detergent or detergent tabs.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft
water may cause etching in glassware.
This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of
detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and
1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the
least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in
Table 1.
Adding Detergent
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) will clean most loads (see Figure 5).
• Do not use more than 3 tablespoons (45ml).
• Do not over fill the detergent dispenser.
• When using detergent tabs, lay them flat to avoid contact with the
cover.
To Close
• Place finger as shown in Figure 6.
• Slide cover fully left.
• Push rear end of cover down firmly until it clicks.

Dishwasher Cycles and Options
Wash Cycles
Pots & Pans*: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking.
Auto: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for use with mixed loads of dishware and varying
amounts of food soil. This is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice for everyday use.
Hand Wash: Excellent cycle for delicate or lightly soiled dishes. Delivers superior cleaning results and water efficiency.
Always make sure that the items are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section of this manual for further
information. Hand washing may be the best treatment for such items.
Normal: Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes.
Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle with all available options turned off. As prescribed in
the energy test procedure, the unit was tested without any Rinse Aid in the Rinse Aid dispenser. A single dose of detergent
was used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent used in the prewash. The test was conducted with the upper rack
in the lowest position.
Quick: Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert dishware that
may need to be reused at the same event.
Half Load: Reduces the energy and water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half
of the dishwasher’s capacity.
*If the “Sanitized” indicator illuminates on the control panel after the Pots & Pans cycle, it means the dishes that were
just washed have been sanitized according to the requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). See Table 2
on page 11 for more information on which cycles/options meet the requirements of NSF.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay Start: This option allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 19 hours.
ExtraDry: Used in combination with a wash cycle, the ExtraDry option raises the temperature and extends the drying time
to further enhance drying results.
PowerBoost®: Combines powerful water pressure with increased water temperature to deliver the ultimate in heavy duty
washing performance throughout the dishwasher.
10
Wash Cycle Information
Note: To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the
cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The
“Smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times
are based on 120°F water supply. If your household water supply is different than 120°F, your dishwasher’s cycle times
may be impacted.

Care and Maintenance
Maintenance Tasks
Certain areas of the dishwasher require occasional maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and will ensure continued superior performance from your dishwasher.
Wiping up spills and splash-outs
Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher, particularly if you interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher door during a cycle. To avoid floor damage and possibly mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
Clean the stainless steel inner door and tub
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may collect from
normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse aid is full and
functioning properly.
