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 the desired cycle and options. (See “Dishwasher

Use.”)

The dishwasher starts filling when you press a cycle. You can select options as the machine is filling.

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.

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.

If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells

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.

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

NOTE:

dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
