We have provided many important safety messages in this Quick Reference Guide and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. 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 "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. [] Do not tamper with controls. [] 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 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.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
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.

Make sure nothing keeps spray arm from
spinning freely. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items are blocking the detergent dispenser.
Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and drying results.
Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack. Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe."
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight
load items are secured in the racks.

STEP2
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Add powder, liquid or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry
place.

A. Cover B. Main Wash section
The amount of detergent to use depends on: How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads
require more detergent.
The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) [typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water]
Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher
detergent.

Add Rinse Aid
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.
Rinse aid keeps 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.
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.

Cleaning the Dishwasher Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Ifyour dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a
stainless steel cleaner is recommended.
NOTE: Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe
measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
In U.S.A., www.whirlpool.com InCanada, www.whirlpool.ca
Dishwasher is not operating properly
Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle
Is the door closed tightly and latched? Is the right cycle selected?
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor
automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.
Is the water shutoff valve (if installed) turned on? It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several
seconds during the main wash.

Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down
to release.
Dishwasher seems to run too long
The dishwasher can run up to 31/2hours depending on soil
level, water temperature, cycles and options. Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The
dishwasher runs longer while heating water.
Is the dishwasher cycle time within the cycle times? See cycle sections wash times. A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles until the water reaches the proper
temperature. This dishwasher is equipped with an optical sensor wash that
detects water temperature, soil and detergent amount. Wash
cycles are adjusted based on what is sensed.
If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn't draining well.
Storing the Dishwasher
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the winter, if the
dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second home or vacation
home, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
IMPORTANT: The very first wash cycle after installation in your home will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses. This
cycle must not be interrupted for proper sensor adjustment. If this adjustment cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean
light comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle will repeat this sensor adjustment.
Water remains inthe dishwasher Is the cycle complete?
Detergent remains in the covered section of the dispenser Is the cycle complete?
Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary.
White residue on the front of the access panel Was too much detergent used?
Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.
Odor in the dishwasher Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle
once or twice a day until you have a full load. Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar
rinse as described in "Dishwasher Care."
Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models) Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from
the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.
