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.

MMPORTANT SAFETY MNSTRUCTMONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

[] Read aHinstructions 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 likeUyto 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 INSTRUCTUONS

[] 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.

GROUNDmNG mNSTRUCTmONS

m For a grounded, cordoconnected 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 pRugprovided with

the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

[] For a permanentmy 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 mNSTRUCTmONS

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.

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.

• 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.

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.

(Seerecommendedloadingpatternsshown.) NOTE:Thefeaturesonyourdishwasherrackmayvaryfromthe

drawingsshown.

To adjust the top rack

1. Hold the top rack with one hand near the adjuster.

2. With the other hand, pull out the top of the adjuster.

3. Raise or lower the rack to one of the preset positions.

4. Release the adjuster.

Repeat the steps for the remaining adjusters as needed. The 4 adjusters can be raised or lowered separately or together. The top rack does not have to be level.

Cup and g_ssload

Mixed load

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

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

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

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

• Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.

• Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

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

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

Light item clips (on some models}

The light-item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing. You can move a clip anywhere in the rack.

To move a clip

1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2. Reposition the clip on another tine.

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.

Adjustable 3-position top rack

(on some models}

You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top or bottom rack. Two adjusters are located on each side of the top rack. Each adjuster has 3 preset positions. The high and low positions are marked on the adjuster.

Mixedload

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 lead

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.

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.

Style 2 (on some models)

Models with ANYWARE TM silverware basket

To open the silverware basket Unlock the latch.

NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely latched before pulling out the bottom rack and before closing the dishwasher door.

• Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher 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 I (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.

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

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.

The silverware basket can be hung on the door or on the bottom rack (see illustration).

The silverware basket can also be placed inside the bottom rack.

To remove the basket from the door

1. Grasp the silverware basket by the handle. Slide it toward the top of the door.

2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the basket in the door

1. Set the silverware basket on the holding buttons,

2. Slide the basket toward the bottom of the door until it locks in place.

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.

Utensil caddy (on some models)

Use the utensil caddy to hold wooden spoons, spatulas, and similar items.

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.

The utensil caddy has three hooks. (See arrows.) For best wash

performance, hook the utensil caddy in the right rear corner of

the lower rack. You can also hook it in the left front corner.

NOTE: Spin the top spray arm. Be sure items in the utensil caddy do not stop the rotation of the spray arm,

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. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed. (See "Cycle Selection Charts.")

4. Close the dispenser cover.

The cover will open during the cycle to dispense the detergent.

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. Ifyou 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.

Where to fill

Top of 3rd step (9 tsp or 45 mL)

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.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.

Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered

detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.

IMPORTANT: See "Cycle Selection Charts" for which detergent dispenser sections to use with each cycle.

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

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 3 months. You do not

have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be sure 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.

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 should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the

faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.

To check water temperature

Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute.

Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup.

A "O" shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have some or all of the cycles shown.

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters. These models meet the ENERGY STAR®guidelines for energy

efficiency. Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time

indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the water, the longer the cycle time. Ifthe water is already hot enough, the cycle time will be as shown.

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

• To save water, energy and time, 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 a 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. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

Use the 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. If your home is equipped with awater softener, you may want

to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to 3oor wash performance.

Pots & Pans

Use this cycle for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware.

Use both detergent dispenser sections.
