DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others is 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 hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or

“WARNING.” These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You follow instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

■ Read all instructions 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 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.

: When using the dishwasher, follow bas ic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■ 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 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 to the washing compartment when

removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

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.

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. 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.

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 cover ed by the warranty. See “Storing Your Dishwasher” in the “Caring for Your Dishwasher” section for win ter st or age 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.

5. Select the desired cycle. (See “Using Your Dishwasher.”)

Using Your New Dishwasher

1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.

2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Loading Your Dishwasher.”) 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 “Using Your Dishwasher.”)

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.

6. Select the desired option. (See "Option Selections.")

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.

3. Cl ose the door to continue the cycle. OR

1. Turn the Cycle Control knob slowly clockwise until you

hear water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely.

2. Open the door.

3. Turn the Cycle Control knob to OFF.

LOADING YOUR

DISHWASHER

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 in the dishwasher.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells enter the wash system, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash system. Damage can occur.

■ Load dishes so soil ed surfa ces fa ce the s pray ( down or

inward). 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.

Loading the T op 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.

Do not cover third level spray (on some models). See arrow.

Cup and glass load

■ 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.

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 fo r glasses and cups. Dama ge can occur.

■ Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs.

Placing them over the prongs 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.

Extra-capacity f old-do wn shelv es (on some models)

Fold down the extra shelf on the top rack to hold additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas.

■ 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. You can 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

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 s urface s fa cin g in ward to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the 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 s ecured in place.

■ Load plates, sou p bowls, etc., between prongs and

facing inward to the spray.

Silverware Basket

Load the silverwar e ba sk et whi le it is i n the bot tom r ack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilli ng water droplets on the silverware.

Style 1 (on some models)

Style 2 (on some models)

■ 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 prongs. Do not nest bowls becau se 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.

Mix items in each section of th e basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp item s (knives, skewers, forks, etc.) 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 w ashing.

■ Some foods (such as salt, vine gar, milk products, fruit

juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not hav e a full lo ad to was h immedi atel y.

USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Detergent Dispenser

The deterg ent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empt ies detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

1. Cover

2. Main wash section

3. Cover latch

4. Pre-wash section

The Main W ash 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.

2. 3.

How much deter gent 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 ti me. Fi nd

out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

■ Differ ent bran ds of di shwash er de ter gen t hav e dif f er ent

amounts of phosphorous 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)

Top of 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g)

Top of 1st step (1 tb or 15 g)

■ Add detergent just before starting cycle.

■ Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place.

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

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. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the PreWash section if needed.

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

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection Chart” for more details.

Water Har dness Amount of Detergent

Soft to Medium Hard Water

0 to 6 grains per gallon

For normally soiled loads

■ Partially fill the Main Wash

section (2 tbs or 30 g)

■ Partially fill the Pre-Wash

section (2 tbs or 30 g) if needed

NOTE: Add only 1 tb or 15 g of detergent to both sections if dishes are pre-rinsed or the water is very soft (0 to 2 grains per gallon).

For heavily soiled loads

■ Fill the Main Wash section

(3 tbs or 45 g)

■ Partially fill the Pre-Wash

section (2 tbs or 30 g)

Medium to Hard Water

7 to 12 grains per gallon

For normally soiled and heavily soiled loads

■ Fill the Main Wash section

(3 tbs or 45 g)

■ Partially fill the Pre-Wash

section (2 tbs or 30 g) if needed

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.

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 formin g 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 dis penser

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

Or you can remove the Fil l 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 rins e aid to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.

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.

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

4. I f 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 and energy, 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 ene rgy than the Normal cycle.

■ Use a delay feature (on some models) to run y our

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 to

reduce daytime heat buildup.

■ Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option

whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these option s. 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.

4. Cl ean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

Cycle Selection Chart

Select the wash cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start and stop as the Cycle Contr ol 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.

If your dishwasher has mor e than one was h cycle, you can change a cycle anytime during a cycle.

1. Lift the door latch to stop the cycle.

2. Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise.

3. Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled

properly for the new cycle. NOTE: Turning the Cycle Control knob can cause the

covered Detergent Dispenser section to open and release the de t ergent. Check the cover ed se ction if the cycle uses detergent in both section s.

Low Energ y Washing (on some models)

Select this low energy washing option to reduce water temperature during the main wash and final rinse. This will reduce the amount of electricity needed to run the dishwasher.

NOTE: Low Energy Washing (on some models) is an option with all cycles.

4. Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher starts a new cycle.

Adding Items During a Cycle

You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts, or the Cycle Control knob reaches Light Wash.

1. Lift up the door latch to stop the cycle. Wait for the spraying action to stop before opening the door.

2. Open the door and add the item.

3. Close the door, but do not latch it. Wait 30 seconds for

the air in the dishwasher to warm up. This reduces the amount of moisture escaping from the vent when restarting a cycle.

4. Close the door firmly until it latches. The dishwasher resumes the cycle.

Option Selections

You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option any time before drying begins.

No Heat Dry

Select this energy-saving option to dry without heat. No Heat drying is useful when loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be sensitive to high temperatures.

Delay Hours (on some models)

Select this option to run your dishwasher at a later time or during off-peak hours.

To delay the start

1. Close the door.

2. Select a wash cycle and option.

Press the desired cycle. Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise to the number of hours you want the dishwasher to delay the start.

The dishwasher start s the cycle in t he selected n umber of hours. You can add items while the time is counting down.

3. Close and latch the door. The Cycle Control knob will not advance if the door is unlatched.

NOTES:

■ To cancel the delay, turn the Cycle Control knob to the

desired cycle.

■ Rinse Only and the Light Wash cycles cannot be

delayed.

The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur. For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

NOTE: Rinse Only automati cal ly us es t his opt ion. No Heat Dry is an option with all other cycles.

IMPORTANT:

■ Operate your dishwasher only when you are at home.

■ If your home is equipped with a water softener, do not

start the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener.

Drying System

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.
