Dishwasher Safety
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the
word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You @Jl be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t follow instructions.
You gag be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
-When using the
dishwasher, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
l Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
l Use the dishwasher only for its
intended function.
l Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher
and keep them out of the reach of
children.
l When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they
are not likely to damage the door
seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles
up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.
l 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.
l
Do
not touch the heating element
during or immediately after use.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
l Do not operate the dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are properly in
place.
l Do not tamper with controls.
l Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the
door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
l To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or on the
dishwasher.
. 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. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before
using the dishwasher 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 flammable, do not smoke
or use an open flame during this time.
l Remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until
completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury
or cuts.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
l For a grounded, cord connected
dishwasher:
The dishwasher 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. The
dishwasher is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conduc-
tor 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.
WARNING
the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock.
- Improper connection of
Electrlcally ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green
ground connector in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to do so can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or
service representative if you are in
doubt whether the dishwasher is
properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the dishwasher; if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
l For a permanently connected
dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a
grounded 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.
Electrical Shock Hazard

Loading Your Dishwasher
This section tells how to properly load your dishwasher for best washing and rinsing results.
Preparing to load your dishwasher
l To save water and energy, do not rinse
dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher.
l Remove large pieces of food, bones, and
other hard items. The POWER CLEAN*
module removes food particles from the
water. The module contains a chopping
device which reduces the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds,
nuts, and egg shells enter the POWER
CLEAN module, you might hear chopping,
grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds.
Those sounds are normal when hard items
enter the module. Do
not
let metallic items
(such as pot handle screws) get into the
POWER CLEAN module. Damage
can occur.
l Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked
cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry
over a period of time. Run a Rinse/Wash
Later cycle to keep dishes moist if you do
not plan to wash them soon.
l Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the
rotating spray arm.
l Load dishes so they are not stacked or
overlapping. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best
washing. For best drying, water must be
able to drain from all surfaces.
Loading for quiet operation
l Secure lightweight load items in the racks.
l Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., should not touch interior
walls, interfere with the spray arm’s
rotation, or cover the spray tower.
l Load dishes so they do not touch one
another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted
during dishwasher operation to prevent
noise transfer through drains.
7
-
Loading the silverware basket
l Load the silverware basket while it is in the
door or take the basket out for loading on a
counter or table.
l Mix items in each section of the basket
with some pointing up and some down to
avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
IMPORTANT:
(knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing
down.
l Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,
etc.) in any section.
l You can also remove the basket for easy
unloading. Always unload or remove the
basket before unloading the racks to avoid
spilling water on the silverware.
Always load sharp items
To remove the basket:
1.
Grab the basket by the handle and slide it
toward the top of the door.
2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.
To replace the basket:
1.
Set the basket on the holding buttons.
2. Slide the basket towards the bottom of
the door until it locks in place.
To open the basket:
l Unhook the latch as shown.
NOTE:
latched before pulling out the bottom rack
and before closing the dishwasher door.

Be sure the cover is completely
Loading the bottom rack
Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food
in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces
facing inward to the spray.
Mixed load
l Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between
prongs and facing inward to the spray.
l Make sure pot handles and other items do
not stop rotation of the spray arms. Spray
arms
must
move freely.
l Load items so they do not block or cover
the spray tower.
l Load heavily-soiled cookware face down
in rack.
l Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water
spray must reach all soiled
surfaces
for
best results.
Utensil load
l Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other
large items at sides and back. Loading
such items in front may keep water spray
from reaching detergent dispenser and
silverware basket.
NOTES:
l Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items
in the bottom rack.
l Do not load items between the bottom rack
and the dishwasher tub. This can block the
water inlet opening.
l If you have removed the bottom rack for
unloading or cleaning, replace it with
bumpers in front.

Using the Dispensers
For best washing results, review the information below. It is important to use detergents and
rinse agents properly.
Using the detergent dispenser
l
Use automatic dishwashing detergent
only.
Other detergents are too mild and
much too sudsy.
l Add detergent just before starting cycle.
l Store detergent tightly closed in a cool,
dry place.
Fresh automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better cleaning.
Filling the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one section
with a cover and one without. Push cover
down firmly until it latches. Detergent in the
open section falls into the dishwasher when
closing the door. The covered section opens
automatically for the main wash.
NOTE:
when dispensing detergent.
It is normal for cover to open partially
How much detergent to use
l 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.
l Different brands of dishwasher detergent
have different amounts of phosphorus for
softening water. If you have hard water
and use low phosphorous content detergent (6.0% or less), you may need to use
more detergent or use a detergent with a
higher phosphorous content (8.7%).
l Find out your water’s hardness by asking
your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.
