DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol. "WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, 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:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. •

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended • for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the •

reach of children.

• 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.

• 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. Do not touch the heating element during or

immediately after use.

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

Do not tamper with controls. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

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.

• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro-

priate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric 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.

• 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements.

Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing

Your Dishwasher" in the "Dishwasher Care" section for winter storage information.

• Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

• Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See Installation Instructions for complete information.

DISHWASHERLOADING

• Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes

before putting them in the dishwasher. The wash module removes rood 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 egg shells

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.

• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or inward). 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 like 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.

Donotcoverthirdlevelwash(onsomemodels).Seearrow.

Cup and glass load

Mixed load

• Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.

• Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.

• Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs. Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.

• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

• China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage can occur.

• Wedge lightweight items against one another or overlap them with heavier dishes.

Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe."

Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked -on or dried-on food should be loaded

with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.

Mixed load

• 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 prongs and facing inward to the spray.

• 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 prongs. 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 and

silverware basket.

• 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. You can block the water inlet opening.

NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack 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)

p-._J

Style 2 (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.

((0\

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing down.

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.

• For Series 805 model: When using both silverware baskets, place one in the front of the lower rack and one in the bottom

of the lower rack.

DISHWASHERUSE

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door

1. Cover

2. Main wash section

3. Cover latch

4. Pre-wash section

The Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the "Cycle Selection

Chart.")

• 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 a 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 pushing the Cover latch.

2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How Much Detergent to Use."

3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with 1wash. See the "Cycle Selection

Chart" 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 phosphorous 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%.

Water Hardness Amount of Detergent

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 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 completely open.

2. Remove the Fill Indicator cap.

3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.

Soft to Medium For normally soiled loads Hard Water • Fill the Main Wash section to the

0 to 6 grains per top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g) gallon • Fill the Pre-Wash section to the

top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g) if needed

NOTE: Add only 1 tb or 15 g of detergent to both sections if dishes are pre-rinsed or the water is very soft (0 to 2 grains per gallon).

For heavily soiled loads

• Fill the Main Wash section to the top of the 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)

• Fill the Pre-Wash section to the top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)

Medium to Hard Water

7 to 12 grains per gallon

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 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.

Checking the dispenser Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap, Clear means it needs

filling.

Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. If an "E" is visible, the dispenser is empty.

For normally soiled and heavily soiled loads

• Fill the Main Wash section to the top of the 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)

• Fill the Pre-Wash section to the top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)

if needed

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

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 must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low.

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.

Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's thermostat setting.

To save water and energy, 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 the 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 to reduce daytime heat buildup.

• Use an air dry, or an 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.
