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.
W10350359B
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.
WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
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 equipmentgrounding 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.

What’s New in Your Dishwasher
Energy
Congratulations on purchasing your water and energy efficient dishwasher! This dishwasher cleans by spraying the dishes with water and pauses to allow the detergent to soak into and release the soils on the dishes. The cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Several models contain an optical water sensor. The optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum water and energy consumption for great cleaning performance. The first cycle using the sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.
Performance
Rinse Aid
Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance. This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard water deposits. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water “sheeting” action of rinse aid for total optimal performance.

Refill
Detergent
The United States has passed a restriction limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in the household dishwasher detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous detergents contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in detergents as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With these recent changes it is recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and improved performance.
Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal cleaning performance. Regular maintenance of your filters will sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both your upper and lower filter and rinse under running water at least once a month.

■Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from spinning freely. It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
■Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items are blocking the detergent dispenser.
■Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will improve cleaning and drying results.
■Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
■Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as shown. If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, flip the covers up and mix silverware types to keep them separated.
■Use suggested
loading patterns, as shown, to better clean your silverware.
■Use the slots in the covers to keep your silverware
separated for optimum wash. (See illustration, right.)
STEP 2
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse cycle. Do not use detergent.
■Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
■Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.
■For optimum performance,
tablet detergent is recommended.

Add Rinse Aid
■Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.
■Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
■Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when

Cycle and Option Descriptions
This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all the cycles and options described.
You can customize your cycle by selecting an option.
See option selections. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option, or select a different option. You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins. At each stage of the wash cycle, you may hear noises that you are not used to hearing in your previous dishwasher. Each cycle will provide a series of pauses and water sprays throughout the wash cycle. This is normal and will provide optimal cleaning performance.
*Maximum wash times depend on water temperature, heavy soil condition, dish load size and options selected.
