DISHWASHER SAFETY

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 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.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You 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.

Before Using Your Dishwasher

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.

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.

■

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.

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

Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)

from dishes. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)

Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse

aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

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.

Select a drying option.

Use Air Dry for the Rinse Only cycle.

NOTE:

6. For Series 840, 850 and 890:

option selections. (See “Dishwasher Use.”) Turn the cycle control knob to the desired cycle to start.

Press the desired cycle and

Stopping Your Dishwasher

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.

Open the door slightly.

Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all

the way, if needed. Close the door to continue the cycle.

3. OR

Turn the cycle control knob slowly clockwise until you hear

water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely. Open the door.

Turn the cycle control knob to OFF.

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:

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:

dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells

For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during

Loading Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

NOTE:

drawings shown. Do not cover third level wash (on some models). See arrow.

Cup and glass load

Mixed load

■

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

■

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

■

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

■

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

■

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

■

Wedge lightweight items against one another or overlap them with heavier dishes.

■

Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”

■

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

Loading 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.)

The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

NOTE:

drawings shown. Do not cover spray tower. See arrow.

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.

■

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.

If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or

NOTE:

cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.

Loading Silverware Basket

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks

NOTE:

to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

Style 1 (on some models)

Style 2 (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:

pointing down.

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.

Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)

DISHWASHER USE

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

The 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.

Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

NOTE:

Filling the dispenser

If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing

the Cover latch. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How much

detergent to use.” Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash

section if needed.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the

NOTE:

covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection Charts” 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

Top of 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)

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.

For heavily soiled loads

■

Fill the Main Wash section to the top of the 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)

■

Fill the Pre-Wash section to the top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)

Checking the dispenser

Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs filling.

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.

Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.

Remove the Fill Indicator cap.

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.

Medium to Hard Water

7 to 12 grains per gallon

For normally soiled and heavily soiled loads

■

Fill the Main Wash section to the top of the 3rd step (3 tbs or 45 g)

■

Fill the Pre-Wash section to the top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g) if needed

Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.

NOTE:

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.

Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

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 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.

Cycle Selection Charts

For Series 810 and 811:

Turn the cycle control knob to the desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start and stop as the cycle control knob passes each cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can set the cycle control knob with the door unlatched.

For Series 840:

Press the desired cycle. Turn the cycle control knob to the desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start and stop as the cycle control knob passes each cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can set the cycle control knob with the door unlatched.

Heavy Wash, Normal Wash and Rinse Only all share the

NOTE:

same cycle button.

For Series 850 and 890:

To use Rinse Only, press HEAVY WASH or NORMAL WASH and turn the cycle control knob to Rinse Only.

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 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.
