START-UP GUIDE
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
1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse
aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
IMPORTANT (on some models):
■ When the cycle starts, you will see a rotating pattern of lights
in the display window indicating that the unit is operating.
■ This pattern will continue for up to 6 minutes while the
multiple sensors check the incoming water temperature, rinse
aid usage and soil level on dishes and cookware. The sensors
then determine the ideal cycle for your dish load. After
sensing is complete, the display will show the number of
minutes left in the cycle and the cycle countdown will begin.
■ The cycle countdown pauses and the water heating light
glows while the dishwasher heats the water to a set
temperature. (See “Cycle Selection Charts.”)
Stopping Your Dishwasher
You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.
1. Open the door slightly.
2. Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all
the way, if needed.
Close the door to continue the cycle.
OR
Press CANCEL. A 2-minute drain starts.
4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run
hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water
is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
5. Press the desired cycle and option selections. The
dishwasher starts filling when you press a cycle. You can
select options as the machine fills. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
DISHWASHER 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. The wash module
removes food particles from the water. The module contains a
chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells
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.
7
■ 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.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during
dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
Loading Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.
Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See
recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown
.
■ 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.
Cup shelves (on some models)
Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of
the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such
as utensils and spatulas.
Flexible tines (on some models)
The row of tines on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the top
rack can be adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes.
10 place setting10 place setting
Tiered rack
12 place setting12 place setting
Tiered rack
■ 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.
To adjust the flexible tines
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently push the tine out of the holder.
3. Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack.
Light item clips (on some models)
The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups,
lids, or bowls in place during washing.
To move a clip
1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.
2. Reposition the clip on another tine.
8
Adjustable two position top rack (on some models)
You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top
or bottom rack. Raise the top rack to accommodate items up to
9" (22 cm) in the top rack and 13" (33 cm) in the bottom rack, or
lower the top rack to accommodate items up to 11" (28 cm) in
both the top and bottom racks. Adjusters are located on each
side of the top rack.
To raise the top rack
Lift the rack on both sides until the rack is level.
NOTE: The top rack must be level.
To lower the top rack
Depress both tabs on rack adjusters, as shown above, and slide
the rack back to its original position.
Loading Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. On models without the upper tiered rack, many items,
up to 13" (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack. (See recommended
loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
■ Do not load glasses, cups, or 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.
Utensil load
■ 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.
10 place setting
12 place setting
Mixed load
■ 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.
9
FLIP AWAY™ plate holders (on some models)
You can fold up all, or part, of the row of V-shaped flexible tines
at the back of the bottom rack. This is useful when washing a
variety of dishes, pots and pans, or roasters.
Place the entire row of tines in the down
position when washing a large number of
plates.
Utensil caddy (on some models)
Use the utensil caddy to hold wooden spoons, spatulas, and
similar items.
The utensil caddy has three hooks. (See arrows.) For best wash
performance, hook the utensil caddy in the right rear corner of
the lower rack. You can also hook it in the left front corner.
NOTE: Spin the top spray arm. Be sure items in the utensil caddy
do not stop the rotation of the spray arm.
Fold away the plate tines to hold many bowls.
Fold away the entire row of both plate and
bowl tines to make room for larger pans or
roasters.
Fold-down tines (on some models)
You can fold down one row of tines at the back of the bottom
rack.
Utensil rack (on some models)
Use the utensil rack to hold specialty cooking items (wooden
spoons, spatulas, and similar items).
The utensil rack lies on the two supports in the right-hand lower
rack. Load the rack tray while it is in the dishwasher or remove it
for loading on a counter or table top.
When not in use, the utensil rack may remain in the dishwasher
and tilt out of the way.
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger
dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
10
You can also remove the utensil rack from the dishwasher. Swing
the two supports out of the way for easier bottom rack loading.
Loading Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.
Style 1 (on some models)
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
■ Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
■ 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.
Style 2 (on some models)
ANYWARE™ PLUS silverware basket
To open the silverware basket
Unlock the latch.
NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out
the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.

Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has two 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.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
Filling the dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by rotating
the cover latch.
NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with two washes. Use only
the covered section for cycles with one 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%.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.
Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered
detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash
section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow
instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher
detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
3
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 1 to 3 months. Rinse aid
is released through an opening in the dispenser. When latched
properly, the cover remains closed. The cover should be opened
only when refilling the dispenser. 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. Open the dispenser by pushing the cover latch.

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.
1. Cover latch
2. Rinse aid dispenser
3. Indicator window
3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Close the cover.
NOTE: The cover latch clicks when the cover is closed and
latched.
Rinse aid setting
The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be
adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For most water conditions,
set the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or calcium (hard water)
spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To adjust the setting
Open the dispenser cover. Turn the adjuster inside the dispenser
to the desired setting.
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, since this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
