This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions
and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all
instructions before using the dishwasher.
This dishwasher is intended for use up to a maximum
altitude of 13,000 ft (4,000 meters) above sea level.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or serious injury, observe the following:
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH
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.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
Severe injury and/or product damage could result from
the use of unauthorized service technicians or nonoriginal replacement parts. All repairs must be performed
by an authorized service technician using only original
equipment factory replacement parts.
Risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher.
Some bleach-based products can damage your
dishwasher and may present health hazards!
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
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.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
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 and the dishwasher has been
properly grounded.
WARNING
HEALTH HAZARD

is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware
rated as dishwasher safe.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for
use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of
children.
CAUTION
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

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening
the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or
steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water
noises have stopped and steam has subsided.
To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or
on the dishwasher.
When children become old enough to operate the
appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents/legal
guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.

intended for licensed food establishments.
Proper Care and Maintenance
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION
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.
Remove the dishwasher door to the washing
compartment when removing an old dishwasher for
service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not
allow wet areas to remain around or under the
dishwasher.
Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher systems through extended periods of freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can damage the water fill valve and potentially other components of your dishwasher.
NOTICE: 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.

WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl
chloride, which is known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to

Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for
dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered
dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.
NOTICE:
▯ Do not use hand dishwashing products in your
dishwasher.
▯ Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft.
Using too much detergent with soft water may cause
etching in glassware and fine china.
▯ To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low
temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle
(depending on the model) and use a detergent that
includes etch protection.
This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore,
less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon
(15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent
dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to
1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml).
3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the
detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml 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 the following table.

Dishwasher Cycle Options
PowerBoost ®
Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots
and pans in the lower rack together with normally soiled
utensils in the upper rack. The spray pressure in the
lower rack is intensified, the rinsing temperature is
increased slightly.
Half Load
Can reduce water consumption when washing small,
lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half or less of
the dishwasher’s capacity.
Sanitize
Increases the temperatures and retains them for an extra
long time to obtain a defined disinfecting performance.
Continuous use of this function increases the hygiene
status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning items
such as chopping boards and baby bottles.
“Sanitized” will appear in the display window when
sanitation requirements are met. Using the Sanitize
option may also improve drying. There is a slight
increase in energy consumption.
Extra Dry
An increased temperature during the final rinse and an
extended drying phase ensure that plastic parts dry
better. There is a slight increase in the energy
consumption.
