READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS P/N154749801(0809)

Important Safety Instructions

This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as
personal injury, burns, fire, and electrical shock.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury
when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions
including the following:

Read all instructions before using your
dishwasher.

Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this
Use and Care Manual.

• This Manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating and maintaining any appliance.

• NSF certified residential dishwashers are not
intended for licensed food establishments.

DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions

for details.

• This dishwasher is designed to operate on
regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a
circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit
breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if dishwasher is
connected with a food waste disposer.

• Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are in their proper place.

• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove
door or door latch mechanism from any

dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

• Keep young children and infants away from
dishwasher when it is operating.

• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on
door or racks of a dishwasher.

Use only detergents and rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher.

Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents
out of the reach of children.

• Do not wash plastic items unless marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. Check with
manufacturer for recommendations, if not

marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe
may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
make sure disposer is completely empty before

running dishwasher.

• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher
before servicing.

° Repairs should be done by a qualified

technician.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.

• Use care unloading the dishwarewhen the

SAN ITIZE option has been selected. Contents
may be hot to the touch immediately after the
end of cycle.

• Water vapor from the vent may be hot to the

touch when the SANITIZE option has been

selected. Use care and do not let small children
play around or touch the vent area of the

dishwasher.

When loading items to be washed:

Locate sharp items and knives so that they

are not likely to damage the door seal or
tub.

Load sharp items and knives with the
handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type

injuries.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has

not been used for such a period, before using
dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let

water flow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.

HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Energy Options

Hot or Heat Dry Option

HOT or HEAT DRY option provides faster drying
since the heating element is on during the drying
portion of the cycle.

The HOT or HEAT DRY option in combination with

rinse aid will give you excellent drying results. The
energy to use HOT or HEAT DRY costs pennies
per cycle. You may turn off the HOT or HEAT
DRY option, however you will have items in your
dish load that will not be dry at the end of the cycle.

Appearance may vary from your model.

wash cycle selections

Normal Wash

For regularly soiled dishes and silverware:

• Turn dial to NORMAL WASH.

• Select desired OPTIONS.

Light Wash

For lightly soiled or pre-rinsed dishes and

silverware:

• Turn dial to LIGHT WASH.

• Select desired OPTIONS.

Cool or Air Dry Option

COOL or AIR DRY option saves electricity since

the heating element is off during the drying portion

of the cycle. To speed drying process, open the
door slightly after the cycle is complete.

Some water droplets may remain on door and tub
and in areas where dishes touch silverware basket

and rack.

With either option, you may see water vapor

coming from vent during drying portion of cycle.

The drying option may be changed at any time

during the cycle and affects only the drying period.

Water Heating Delay

This dishwasher is equipped with a thermostat to
ensure that the water is heated to the proper
temperature to deliver optional cleaning and drying

results. The knob/timer on the dishwasher may

pause at approximately the 7pm position. The
dishwasher is not "stuck" here, but is simply heating
the water to the proper temperature before
advancing. If the dishwasher holds this position on
every cycle, then the incoming (house) water
temperature may be low. A minimum water
temperature of 120°F is recommended to avoid this

water heating delay.

with options selected. Hot water is necessary to
activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food
soils. Hot water is needed for best dishwashing
and drying results. Water entering dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory

results.

Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of
basket or rack to block the spray arm.

Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.

Failure to do so may result in injury.

The HOT OR HEAT DRY option in combination
with rinse aid will give you excellent drying results.
The energy to use HOT OR HEAT DRY costs
pennies per cycle. You may turn off the HOT OR

HEAT DRY option, however you will have items in
your dish load that will not be dry at the end of the

cycle.

Factors Affecting Performance

Water Pressure

The hot water line to dishwasher must provide
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.

Low water pressure may occur when laundry or
showers are in operation. Wait until water use is

reduced before starting dishwasher.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher should
be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory

results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:

° Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher

for several minutes to clear cool water from

pipes.

° Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of

water to check the temperature.

° If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a

qualified person raise the hot water heater

thermostat setting.

Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot

water at the tap to clear cool water from pipe.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one main wash and one
pre wash cup. The covered cups open automatically
to release detergent.

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents will cause
oversudsing.

• When using automatic dishwashing detergent
tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and

close.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

° Store detergent in a cool,dry location. Moist

or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the
heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading
to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use
only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.

How much Detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the

water hardness. Water hardness is measured in

grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can
result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or
spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water
can cause a permanent film called etching. Your
local water company, water softener company or
county extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.

Rinse Aid

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces

water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off

dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling
and leave spots.

A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup,

automatically releases a measured amount of
rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor
drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse
aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher
number. The dial is located under the dispenser
cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will

show clear when it is time to refill.

To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn
counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until

liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.

Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,

depending on setting.

Care of Drain Air Gap

If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in

dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the
dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is
usually mounted on countertop and can be
inspected by removing the cover. This is not part
of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty.

F

Property Damage Hazard

Freezing temperatures may cause water lines
to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and
circulating lines within dishwasher are
protected. Failure to do so could result in
property damage.

Winterizing

A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be

protected from freezing. Have a qualified person
do the following:

Filter

Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup
on the interior of the dishwasher.

U .....

Spray arm/tower assembly

Overfill Protector--keeps dishwasher from

overfilling and is located in the left front corner of
the tub.

• Clean occasionally with
household cleaner

containing vinegar or

bleach to dissolve any
buildup.

• Overfill Protector

should move up and
down freely about one

inch. If it does not __
move, lift and clean
underneath.

To Disconnect Service:
