IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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.

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
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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.

Silverware Spray (on some models)
Silverware Spray helps
remove stuck-on food.
It delivers a
concentrated shower
of water to the in-door
silverware basket to
eliminate rewashing.
Filtration system
Your dishwasher has the latest technology
in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system
minimizes sound and optimizes water and
energy conservation while providing
superior cleaning.
The level of cleaning performance may be
affected if filters are not properly placed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to
dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher
without filters properly installed. Be sure
lower filter is securely in place and upper
filter assembly is locked into place. If
upper assembly turns freely, it is not
locked into place.
See “Filtration System” in full User Guide for
complete removal and maintenance schedule.
Drying – Rinse aid is essential.
You must use a drying agent such
as a rinse aid for good drying
performance. Rinse aid along with
the Heat Dry option will provide best
drying and avoid excessive moisture
in dishwasher interior.
If you are using the all-in-one tablets or
packs, you must also use rinse aid. Not
all tablets and packs contain rinse aid.

Energy efficiency
OPERATING YOUR DISHWASHER
PUSH
SLIDE
Energy efficiency is gained by extending cycle time and reducing the
amount of wattage and water used during your dishwasher’s cycle. For
exceptional cleaning, cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses.
Several models contain an optical water sensor used to determine
water and energy consumption for great cleaning performance.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves on gas. Your first cycle will run longer to
calibrate the optical water sensor.
Press Start/Resume every time
youaddadish.
IMPORTANT: If the door is opened to add
a dish, (even during the Delay Hours option),
the Start/Resume button must be pressed
each time.
If Start/Resume is located on top of door:
Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of
pressing Start/Resume. If door is not closed
within 3 seconds, the start button LED will
flash, an audible tone will be heard, and cycle
will not start.
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard
items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
■ Make sure when dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking
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. Angle dirtiest dish surface
downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and
between dishes.
■ Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates, that may trap food.
■ Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in 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 racks.
■ Additional loading patterns are available online at
www.whirlpool.com.
■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep
your silverware separated for optimum wash.
2.Check that all arms spin freely
Items in rack can block
the spray arms.
3.Add detergent
Premeasured Detergents
High quality premeasured tablets and
packs are recommended for improved
performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been
proven better than powder, liquid, or gel
detergents at reducing filming on dishes.
Using tablets and packs over time will
start to reduce or eliminate white film.
They are suitable for all water hardness
and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse
aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of
white film (not all packs and tablets
contain rinse aid). Always place
premeasured detergents in main
compartment and close lid.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the
package when using other dishwasher
detergent types. See the complete
owners manual for more details about
powders, liquids, and gels.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just
before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.
■ 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 covers up and mix silverware types to keep
them separated.
NOTE: The AnyWare™ Silverware Basket can sit in the door for
completely usable rack space, letting you fit more items in the rack.
It can also go in your lower rack to fit your needs.
4.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. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of
dishes after final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware, and
when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.

■ Check the rinse aid indicator with the door down (varies by model).
