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:

DANGER

WARNING

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

■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.

■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.

BeforeUsingYourDishwasher

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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” 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.

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 equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

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.

UsingYourNewDishwasher

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

2.Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”) Make sure nothing keeps 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.Press the desired cycle and option selections.

6.Press START/RESUME.

NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not resume until the door is closed, and Start/Resume is pressed.

StoppingYourDishwasher

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 and press START/RESUME to continue the cycle.

OR

Press CANCEL/DRAIN. A 2-minute drain starts.

DISHWASHER LOADING

LoadingSuggestions

■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. To avoid damage to the dishwasher, do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module.

■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 avoid noise transfer through drains.

LoadingTopRack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

10 place setting

7

12 place setting

■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 and water spots.

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

■Load lightweight 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.

Cup shelves (on some models)

Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such as utensils and spatulas.

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those shown below.

Light item clips (on some models)

The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing.

To move a clip

1.Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2.Reposition the clip on another tine.

Side clip (on some models)

The side clip holds lightweight plastic items such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing.

To move a clip

1.Pull the clip up and off horizontal rack wire.

2.Reposition the clip on another horizontal rack wire.

Utensil clip (on some models)

The utensil clip holds specialty cooking items (wooden spoons, spatulas, and similar items).

To move a clip

1.Pull the clip up and off horizontal rack wire.

2.Reposition the clip on another horizontal rack wire.

Adjustable 2-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. Raise the top rack to accommodate items up to 9" (22 cm) in the top rack and 13" (33 cm) in the bottom rack, or lower the top rack to accommodate items up to 11" (28 cm) in both the top and bottom racks. Two adjusters are located on each side of the top rack. Each adjuster has 2 preset positions. The high and low positions are marked on the adjuster.

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.

5.Repeat the steps for the remaining adjusters.

NOTE: The top rack must be level.

8

LoadingBottomRack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Many items, up to 13" (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

■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.

10 place setting

12 place setting

■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.

■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.

Mixed load

■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.

Fold-down tines (on some models)

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.

Utensil load

LoadingSilverwareBasket

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

Style 1 (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.

■Use suggested loading patterns as shown to increase the washability of your silverware, if your silverware basket has these covers.

■If your silverware basket does not have covers, or when covers are up, 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).

NOTES:

■Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

How much detergent to use

■The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your dishes, hardness of your water, and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes will not 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.

Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.

11

RinseAidDispenser

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months.

1.Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2.Turn the dispenser knob to “Open” and lift it out.

DishwasherEfficiencyTips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spotfree. 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

Additional efficiency tips

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.

■To save water and 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.

12

■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, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.

CycleSelectionCharts

Select the wash cycle and options desired and press START/ RESUME. The dishwasher starts filling once you press START/ RESUME, unless you select a delay wash. You can change cycles and options as the machine is filling.

After completing a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the cycle and options. It uses the same cycle and options again in the next wash cycle, if you press only START/RESUME.

NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not resume until the door is closed and Start/Resume is pressed.

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

Display time is for models with the dual digit display on the console.

After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used. It uses the same options in the next wash cycle, if you press only START/RESUME.

Soak & Scour (on some models)

Select this option to presoak your dishes for 4 hours in your dishwasher instead of presoaking them in the sink. When you select Soak & Scour, the dishwasher fills and then sprays for 8 minutes. It will then pause for 16 minutes while dishes soak, and then spray for 90 seconds to keep dishes wet. Pausing for

16 minutes and spraying for 90 seconds are repeated for 4 hours. At the end of the 4 hours, the dishwasher drains and then starts the cycle you have selected. The Main Wash heating time will be extended to allow the water temperature to reach 145°F (63°C).

This presoaking uses only one additional fill of water and does not require special detergent. Use standard detergent according to cycle recommendations.

Hi-Temp Wash

Select this option to increase the target water temperature during the wash portions of the cycle. Hi-Temp Wash raises the target water temperature to 145ºF (63ºC) in the main wash. Heating the water helps improve washing results. Hi-Temp Wash is useful when loads contain baked-on food.

This option adds heat, wash time and water to the cycle.

NOTE: Hi-Temp Wash is an option with Pots & Pans and Normal cycles. Selecting Hi-Temp Wash with the Sani Rinse option has no effect, as it already raises the main wash to 145°F (63°C).

Sani Rinse

Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C). The Sani Rinse option adds heat and time to the cycle. The Main Wash heating time will be extended to reach 145°F (63°C). In the Pots & Pans and Normal cycles, this high-temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

NOTE: Use the Sani Rinse option with Pots & Pans and Normal cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet the NSF/ANSI requirements.

Heated Dry

Select this option to dry dishes with heat.

Switching off Heated Dry skips the dry period. This is useful when loads contain plastic dinnerware that may be sensitive to high temperatures. The dishes take longer to dry and some spotting may occur. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

For best drying, use a liquid rinse aid.

NOTE: Heated Dry is an option with all cycles, except GLASS XPRESS™ and Rinse Only cycles. Heated Dry begins automatically with all cycles unless you switch it off.
