Important Safety Instructions
This symbol will help alert you to such
dangers as personal injury, burns, fire and
electrical shock.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
injury when using your dishwasher, follow
basic precautions including the following:
Read all instructions before using your
dishwasher.
Use your dishwasher only as instructed in
this Use and Care Manual.
This Manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating and maintaining any appliance.
DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED. Read the Installation
Instructions for details.
• This dishwasher is designed to operate on
regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a
circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or
circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if
dishwasher is connected with a food waste
disposer.
• Do not operate dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are in their proper place.
• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation,
remove door or door latch mechanism from
any dishwasher that is discarded or not in
use.
Keep young children and infants away from
dishwasher when it is operating.
Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play
on door or racks of a dishwasher.
Use only detergents and rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher.
Store dishwasher detergent and rinse
agents out of the reach of children.
Do not wash plastic items unless marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. Check
with manufacturer for recommendations, if
not marked. Items that are not dishwasher
safe may melt and create a potential fire
hazard.
If the dishwasher drains into a food
disposer, make sure disposer is completely
empty before running dishwasher.
Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher
before servicing.
Repairs should be done by a qualified
technician.
Do not tamper with controls.
Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items and knives so that they
are not likely to damage the door seal or
tub.
- Load sharp items and knives with the
handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may
be produced in a hot water system that has
not been used for 2 weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot
water system has not been used for such a
period, before using dishwasher, turn on all
hot water faucets and let water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas.
HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not
smoke or use an open flame during this
time.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

Dishwasher Features
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms
against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water
covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go
down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills
will vary with the cycle being used.

Appearance may vary from your model.
Getting Started
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and
Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser
& Detergents).
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashers--IT'S QUIETER!
Your dishwasher uses energy efficient motors
for the wash and drain portions of the cycle
_,ouselect. Each cycle has a series of water
fills and drains for washing and rinsing
dishes. As each cycle begins, you may-or
may not-hear the drain motor.
The next sound you will hear is the splashing
water as it enters the tub. Then the lower arm
rotates and circulates water. This is followed
by a pause and a slightly different sound as
the upper arm sprays water. If you listen
closely, you will hear the change in sound as
the wash action switches from one arm to the
other.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare
this dishwasher to previous models, you
may be surprised at what you DON'T hear!
4. Turn dial clockwise to select cycle (See
Cycle Chart).
5. Select desired energy OPTIONS (See
Energy Options).
6. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher
until water is hot. Turn water off.
7. To start, close door to latch.

Energy Options
Hot Dry Option
HOT DRY option provides faster drying since
the heating element is on during the drying
portion of the cycle.
Cool Dry Option
COOL DRY option saves electricity since the
heating element is off during the drying portion
of the cycle. To speed drying process, open the
door slightly after the cycle is complete. Some
water droplets may remain on door and tub
and in areas where dishes touch silverware
basket and rack.
With either option, you may see water vapor
coming from vent during the washing and/or
drying portion of cycle. On some models, the
vent is closed during washing to hold moisture
and sound inside and then opens for drying.
The drying option may be changed at any time
during the cycle and affects only the drying
period.
