er 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.

• 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.

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.

shwasher

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.

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,

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.

1. Load the dishwasher. See the "Loading

Your Dishwasher" section.

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

Turn off water.

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

3. Add detergent. See the "Using the Dispensers" section.

7. Press a Cycle pad. If desired, press one or more Option pads. The

dishwasher starts filling once you press a Cycle pad unless you select the delay wash

cycle. You may press Option pads as the machine is filling.

The pad indicator glows red when a cycle or an option is

selected.

4. Add rinse agent, if needed.

5. Close door firmly until it latches.

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.

Load= Your shwasher

• 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*

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.

Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food

in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray.

Mixed load

• Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between

prongs and facing inward to the spray.

• Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm. Spray

arm must move freely.

• Load items so they do not block or cover the spray tower.

• Load heavily soiled cookware face down in rack.

• Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water spray must reach all soiled surfaces for

best results.

Utensil load

such items in front may keep water spray from reaching detergent dispenser and

silverware basket.

NOTES:

* Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items

in the bottom rack.

* Do not load items between the bottom rack

and the dishwasher tub. This can block the water inlet opening.

* If you have removed the bottom rack for

Cover

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.

Main wash Pre=wash

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.

WATER HARDNESS Soft to Medium Hard Water

0 to 6 grains per gallon

Medium to Hard Water 7 to 12grains per gallon

AMOUNT OFDETERGENT

using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent,

iiiJ ii i i !!ill ii iiiiiill

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,
