DISHWASHERSAFETY

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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, lid, 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 or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.

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

appropriate 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" 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.

You can draw water from the faucet while the dishwasher is connected.

NOTE: Do not draw water while the dishwasher is filling or while water is being pumped out. (This helps prevent a low fill when dishwasher is filling or mixing drain water with fresh water when dishwasher is draining.)

Press the red button on the hose connector to draw water from

the faucet. (The faucet is set on hot. Adjust the faucet for the

water temperature you want.) NOTE: Turn the hot water back on after you draw water from the

faucet. Turn off the cold water.

1. Turn the hot water off. (This can be done after the last rinse.)

2. Press the red button on the connector to release the water pressure.

• 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.

Ouiet 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.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

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

Do not cover third level wash (on some models). See arrow.

A. Faucet adapter B. Locking collar

C. Red button D, Hose connector

3. Lift slightly on the hose connector while pulling down the locking collar. Pull down on the connector.

4. Empty any remaining water from the connector by turning the connector upside-down.

5. Unplug the power supply cord and return it to the storage compartment.

6. Return the hoses to the storage compartment.

DISHWASHERLOADING

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.

Cup and glass load

Mixedload

• 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 tines. Placing them over the tines 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

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.

Style1

(on some models)

Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc., in the covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Style2

(on some modems)

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 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 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 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 because they might block the water inlet

opening.

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

-i::_[ );!: : ;ti!

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 items (knives, skewers, 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.

DISHWASHERUSE

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section

empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

A B C D

A. Cover B. Main Wash section C. Cover latch D. Pre-Wash section

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent

into the dishwasher during the main 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 a cycle.

• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent if you have selected a rinse cycle.

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. Ifyou 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.
