START-UP GUIDE
DISHWASHER
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials.
Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important
safety information and useful operating tips.
Using Your New Dishwasher
Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
1.
from dishes.
Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)
2.
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse
3.
aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run
4.
hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water
is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See
5.
“Dishwasher Use.”) Press START. Or press START to repeat
the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.
LOADING
Loading Suggestions
■
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher.
Dishes soiled with tomato-based products should be
NOTE:
pre-rinsed to avoid staining.
The wash module removes food particles from the water. The
module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size
of food items.
If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells
NOTE:
enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,
crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal
when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.
Damage can occur.
■
It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
■
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all
surfaces.
■
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
■
Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to
wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach,
and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to
dry over a period of time.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
■
Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,
etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of
the spray arm.
■
Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
NOTE:
dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
7
Loading Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.
Many items, up to 9 in. (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See
recommended loading patterns shown.)
The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
NOTE:
drawings shown.
10 place setting
Cup shelves
Fold down the extra shelves on the right side of the top rack to
hold additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas.
Flexible tines
The row of tines on the left and right sides of the top rack can be
adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes.
12 place setting
■
Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
■
Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not
designed for glasses. Damage can occur.
■
Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing
them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
■
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each
other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
■
Load lightweight plastic items in the top rack only. Only
plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.
■
Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move
them during the cycle.
■
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.
■
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the
top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
Utensil basket
Use this extra capacity basket in the back of the top rack to hold
spatulas, wooden spoons, and similar items.
To adjust the flexible tines
Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
1.
Gently push the tine out of the holder.
2.
Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack.
3.
No-flip clips (on some models)
The no-flip clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids,
or bowls in place during washing.
To move a clip
Pull the clip up and off the tine.
1.
Reposition the clip on another tine.
2.
8
Loading Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. Many items, up to 13 in. (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom
rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)
The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
NOTE:
drawings shown.
10 place setting
■
Do not load glasses, cups, or lightweight plastic items in the
bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they
are secured in place.
■
Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.
■
Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
■
Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety
of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls
securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
Fold-down tines
You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of the
bottom rack.
Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
1.
Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
2.
Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger
3.
dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
Loading Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
NOTE:
to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
■
Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob
holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold
small items in place.
12 place setting
■
Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the
sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the
water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.
■
Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
■
Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation
of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.
■
Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of
the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet
opening.
If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or
NOTE:
cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.
■
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase
washability of your silverware.
■
This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the
bottom rack in several locations. Load silverware in all
sections or just one, depending upon your load.
■
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket
with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting.
Spray cannot reach nested items.
IMPORTANT:
Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.

Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small
1.
basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding
slots.
Pull the baskets apart.
2.
NOTES:
■
Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
■
Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
DISHWASHER USE
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-Wash
section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close
the door.
1
2
1. Cover latch
2. Main Wash section
3. Pre-Wash section
4. Cover
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent
into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the “Cycle Selection
Charts.”)
■
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
■
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
■
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
NOTE:
3
Filling the dispenser
If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by rotating
1.
the cover latch.
Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How much
2.
detergent to use.”
Fill the Pre-Wash section, if needed.
3.
Close the dispenser cover.
4.
It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing
detergent.
Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the
NOTE:
covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection
Charts” for more details.
How much detergent to use
■
The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of
your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,
dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
■
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out
your water’s hardness by asking your local water department,
water softener company, or county extension agent.
■
Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard
water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of
less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use
a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

very hard water.
NOTE:
Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.
Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered
detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid
dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small
amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do
not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep
it full, but be careful not to overfill it.
1.
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2.
Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out.
3.
Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.
4.
Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5.
Replace the dispenser knob.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser knob, then turn the adjuster inside the
dispenser to the desired setting.
Dishwasher Efficiency Tips
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.
Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F
(49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if
the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make
some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent
ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from
the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the
faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold
water in the water line.
To check water temperature
1.
Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at
least 1 minute.
2.
Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring
cup.
3.
Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is
running into the cup.
■
To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
■
Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.
These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal
cycle.
■
Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
■
During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
■
Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use
a rinse aid to improve drying.
■
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
■
Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
■
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
