START-UP GUIDE
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials.
Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important
safety information and useful operating tips.
Using Your New Dishwasher
1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse
aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)
4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run
hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water
is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.
5. Select the desired cycle and options. (See “Dishwasher
Use.”)
Stopping Your Dishwasher
You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.
1. Open the door slightly.
2. Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all
the way, if needed.
Close the door to continue the cycle.
OR
Press CANCEL/DRAIN. A 2-minute drain starts.
DISHWASHER LOADING
Loading Suggestions
■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 egg shells
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 like 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.
The dishwasher starts filling when you press a cycle. You can
select options as the machine is filling.
6
Loading the Top Rack
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.
Cup and glass load
Adjustable top rack
You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top
or bottom rack. One adjuster is located on each side of the top
rack.
To adjust the top rack
1. Hold the top rack with one hand near the adjuster.
2. With the other hand, turn the knob clockwise to raise a side
of the rack.
3. Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower a side of the rack.
Repeat the steps for the remaining adjuster as needed. The 2
adjusters can be turned separately or together to raise or lower
the top rack. The top rack does not have to be level.
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.
Extra-capacity fold-down shelves
Fold down the extra shelf on the right side of the top rack to hold
additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas.
Loading the Bottom Rack
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.
Mixed load
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.
■
7
■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.
Loading the Silverware Basket
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.
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 like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob
holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the
cover to hold small items in place.
Fold-down tines
You can fold down one row of tines at the back of the bottom
rack.
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger
dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
■
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
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.
8
To remove the basket from the door
Grasp the silverware basket by the handle. Slide it toward the
1.
top of the door.
Lift the basket off the holding buttons.
2.
To replace the basket in the door
Set the silverware basket on the holding buttons.
1.
Slide the basket toward the bottom of the door until it locks in
2.
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.
DISHWASHER USE
Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the
NOTE:
covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection
Chart” for more details.
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. If you 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.
■Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard
water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less
than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a
detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
Where to fill

1. Cover
2. Main wash section
3. Cover latch
4. Pre-wash section
The Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the
dishwasher during the main wash. (See the “Cycle Selection
Chart.”)
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 cycle.
■
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
■
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
NOTE:
Filling the dispenser
If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing
1.
the Cover latch.
Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How Much

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.
Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered
detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid
dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
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.
OR
Dishwasher Efficiency Tips
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 must be at least
120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as
well if the water temperature is too low.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at
least 1 minute.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring
cup.
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 three months. You do
not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep
it full, but be careful 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.
3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is
running into the cup.
4. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C),
have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat
setting.
■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 the 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 a water softener, you may want
■
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash
performance.

Cycle Selection Chart
Select the wash cycle and options desired. The dishwasher starts
filling once you press a cycle, unless you select a delay wash.
You can select an option as the machine is filling.
Your electronic dishwasher senses the soil level on your dishes.
Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of
heat added to a wash or rinse, and the number of washes and
rinses in a cycle.
Cycle time depends upon the soil on the dishes, and water usage
may be higher for large amounts of soil. If dishes are lightly
soiled, cycle time will be as shown.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new
options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.
A “●” 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.
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. If the water is already hot
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
