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.

Preparing and Loading Dishes
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system will remove remaining food particles.
Burned-on foods should be loosened before
loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,
lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and
plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated
at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.
Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
Check manufacturer's recommendations before washing items in question.
If the dishwasher drains into a food
disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
Loading the Top Rack
Features and appearance of racks and
silverware basket may vary from your model.
Important: Do not cover the funnel when loading.
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses small plates, saucers and bowls.
Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may occur if placed in bottom rack.
Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.
Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.
Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in top rack.
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block rotation of middle spray
arm.

Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Bottom Rack
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket may vary from your model.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm rotation.
Place plates and platters so that they do not
touch.
Place bowls, casseroles and sauce pans with the soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm
rotation.
Loading the Silverware Basket
Mix spoons, forks and knives to prevent nesting. Mixing items gives better cleaning and
drying.
For safety, load sharp knives and forks with handles up.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid
damaging the silver finish.
Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening.
Add the item and wait a few seconds to allow cold air to slowly expand inside
dishwasher.
Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup fails
into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to release
detergent.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result
in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a
permanent film called etching. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in
your area.
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent.
Other detergents will cause oversudsing. Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

Dishwasher Detergents (continued)
Factors Affecting Performance
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water
"sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup,
automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when
full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse
aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or
showers are in operation. Wait until water use is
reduced before starting dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from
pipes.
Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream
of water to check the temperature.
If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a
qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe.

Care and Cleaning
Burn Hazard
Allow heating element to cool
before cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can result in
burns.
Outside--Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Inside--The inside of the dishwasher is self- cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean
around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth. The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located
in the center of the filter is designed to collect pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits.
To remove items in glass trap, grasp handle, lift out, empty and replace.
Care of Drain Air Gap
If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air
gap is usually mounted on countertop and can
be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by
warranty.
Property Damage Hazard
Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within dishwasher are protected.
Failure to do so could result in property damage.
Winterizing
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should
be protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the following:
To Disconnect Service:
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see "Removing Spots
and Film" section.
Overfill Protector--keeps dishwasher
from overfilling and is located in the left front
corner of the tub.
Clean occasionally with household cleaner containing vinegar or bleach to dissolve any buildup.
Overfill Protector should move up and down freely about one inch. If
it does not move, lift and clean underneath.
,
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker.
,
Shut off water supply.
3.
Place a pan under the inlet valve.
Disconnect water line from inlet valve and
drain into pan.
,
Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water into pan.
Note: See Installation Instructions for more details.
To Restore Service:
1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply.
2. Turn on water and electrical power supply.
3. Fill both detergent cups and run dishwasher through a NORMAL cycle.
4. Check connections to make sure they do not leak.
Note: See Installation Instructions for more details.

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense.This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or
material in your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes
Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
Check rack loading section for proper loading--avoid nesting items.
Home water pressure may be too low--
should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch
(psi). Check incoming water temperature. It
should be at least 120°F (49°C). (See
Factors Affecting Performance.)
Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.)
Use fresh detergent.
Check to make sure funnel in top rack is not
blocked.
Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms, preventing them from rotating.
Dishes not Dry
Select Hot Dry option.
Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
Increase the amount of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid .)
Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120°F (49°C).
Check for proper loading--avoid nesting
items.
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy
Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.)
Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See
Factors Affecting Performance.)
Avoid overloading and improper loading.
(See Preparing and Loading Dishes.)
Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is
ineffective. Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. Also, check phosphate level. (See Detergent
Dispenser.)
Home water pressure may be too low--it should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch
(psi).
Dishware Chipped
Load with care and do notoverload. (See Preparing and Loading dishes.)
Place delicate items in top rack.
Place glasses securely against pins and not
over pins.
Load items so they are secure and don't jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
Make sure tall glasses and stemware will
clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.
Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-washed.
Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
Cups with a concave bottom will collect water.
13
Page 14
Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
(continued)
Dishware Stained or Discolored
Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or
brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem.
(See Removing Spots and Film.)
Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items. Load properly.
Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse/Hold cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing
stainless steel and silver.
Etching
Using too much detergent in soft orsoftened water causes this film that cannot be
removed.
Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)
Lower the water temperature.
Use the Cool Dry option.
Detergent Left in Cups
Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
Check to see if cycle has been completed.
Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
Dishwasher Leaks
Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.
Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a
damp cloth.
Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See
Installation Instructions.)
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
Normal sounds includewater fill, water circulation and motor sounds.
There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the
lower and middle spray arm. This is normal
since each spray arm has its own sound.
It is normal for dishwasher to pause (no
sound) when the wash action is switching
between the lower and middle spray arms.
Water in Bottom of Tub
Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, dishwasher may not
be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
Vapor at Vent
Water vapor escapes from the vent during the washing and/or drying part of cycle. This
is normal.
Dishwasher Won't Run
Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.
Make sure water supply is turned on.
Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions.)
Make sure door is closed and latched.
14
Page 15
Solutions to Common
(continued)
Dishwashing Problems
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste
disposer inlet.
Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
Is cycle in a water heating delay?
Dishwasher Won't Fill
Is water supply turned on?
Does overfill protector move up and down freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)
Dishwasher Has an Odor
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse/Hold cycle or rinse by hand.
There will be a "new" smell when first installed. This is normal.
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and
glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup,
spots and film, clean using the following instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the POTS & PANS or HEAVY WASH cycle. Close and latch door to start.
4. Allow dishwasher to run for 25 minutes to reach the main wash portion of cycle.
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow the cycle to
finish.
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.
Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)
Stains on Tub Interior
Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect performance
and will gradually fade over time. Pre- rinsing or using the Rinse/Hold cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using Cool
Dry option will lessen staining.
