Please:

• Have your dishwasher installed by a qualified installer.

• Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements.

• Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the weight, and in an area suitable

for its size and use.

• Properly connect dishwasher to electricity, water, and drain.*

* See Installation Instructions for complete

information.

• Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such as the cap on the drain

outlet) before installing.*

• Remove all hang tags and temporary labels.

• Make sure dishwasher is not used by

anyone unable to operate it properly.

• Properly maintain dishwasher. See the

"Caring for Your Dishwasher" section.

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 will be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

You can 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:

• 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 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 EXPLO- SIVE. 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.

Your

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

. 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: Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock,

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher.

Connect ground wire to green ground connector in terminal box.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions

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.

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

1. Load the dishwasher. See the "Loading

6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the dishwasher until water is hot.

[_ Your Dishwasher" section.

2. Spin the spray arms. They should turn freely.

3. Add detergent. See the "Using the

Dispensers" section.

4. Add rinse agent, if needed.

5. Close door firmly until it latches.

Turn off water.

7. Press a Cycle. If desired, press one or more Options. The dishwasher starts filling once

you press a Cycle unless you select the delay wash

cycle. You can press Options

as the machine is filling.

The indicator glows when a

cycle or an option is selected.

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle. All you have to do is:

• Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling or spraying action to stop before opening

the door all the way. Close the door to

continue the cycle.

• Press Cancel/Drain. Once pressed, a 2-minute drain starts.

Your

,hr

* To save water and energy, do not rinse

dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

* Remove large pieces of food, bones, and

other hard items. The POWER CLEAN TM

filter 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 filter 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 filter

module. Damage can occur.

* 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

Only cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon.

* Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the

rotating spray arm.

* 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

* Secure lightweight load items in the racks. * Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie

sheets, etc. should not touch interior walls or interfere with the spray arm's rotation.

* Load dishes so they do not touch one

another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation

to prevent noise transfer through drains,

section section

*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.

* Find out your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water softener

company, or county extension agent.

Cover latch

Filling the detergent dispenser The detergent dispenser has one section

with a cover and one without. Push the

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. It is normal for the cover to open partially when

dispensing detergent. NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with

two washes. Use only the covered section

for cycles with one wash. See the cycles

chart for more details.

Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent greatly improves dish drying by helping water

flow off during the last rinse. A rinse agent also keeps water from forming

droplets and drying as spots or streaks,

A small amount of rinse agent automatically

releases into the rinse water during the final rinse of each cycle, For best drying

results, check dispenser periodically to see if it needs filling.

To check dispenser:

• Check center of Fill Indicator Cap, Clear

means it needs filling, OR

• Remove Fill Indicator Cap, An "E" is visible when dispenser is empty,

To fill dispenser: The rinse agent dispenser holds 6 ounces

(175 mL). Under normal conditions, this lasts about 3 months,

1. Open dishwasher door completely,

2. Remove Fill Indicator Cap,

3. Add rinse agent, Fill to smallest opening

in lower part of dispenser only, Overfilling may cause rinse agent to leak out, This

will not harm the dishwasher, but could

cause oversudsing.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with

a damp cloth,

5. Replace Fill Indicator Cap, Keep it

closed tightly,

NOTE: You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty before refilling, but do

not overfill it, Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse agent, You do not need

to use a solid or bar-type rinse agent,
