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:
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
WARNING:

SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

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

m Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

m Do not tamper with controls.

m Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

m Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks
of the dishwasher.

m Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use
in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
m 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.
m 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.
m Do not touch the heating element during or immediately
after use.
m Do not operate the dishwasher
are properly in place.

unless all enclosure panels

m To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in
or on the dishwasher.
m 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.
m Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

GROUNDING

iNSTRUCTiONS

For a grounded, cord-connected

Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher

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.

until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

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

Connect ground wire to green ground connector
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 sheltered from the
elements. Avoid possible rupture of fill valve from
freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by the
warranty. See "Storing" section for winter storage
information.

IMPORTANT: The very first wash cycle after installation in
your home will be adjusted to include an additional 2
rinses for optical soil sensor calibration. For proper
calibration, the first cycle should not be interrupted. If this
calibration cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean
light comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle
will repeat this sensor calibration.

Sensors automatically adjust the temperature and the
amount of water used for the load.

This dishwasher will automatically calibrate the sensor
approximately once a year to your water quality.

How the TURBOZONE
TM
wash option works
When the TURBOZONE
TM
option is selected, it provides a
concentrated wash to a specific zone in the back of the
lower dish rack for large, hard-to-clean dishes.
• 4 rotating spray jets on the TURBOZONE
TM
manifold are
periodically activated at the back of the tub throughout
the wash cycle.
•

Intensified cleaning is provided only to this specific
wash area, allowing you to gently clean the rest of the
dish load.

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.

Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the
dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each
filling will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your
usage.

4. Add detergent. Always use a high-quality brand
detergent. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

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

5. Push door firmly closed. The door latches
automatically.

3. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher
Loading.") Load dishes with space in between so water
will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing keeps
the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

6. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until
the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.")
Turn off water.

7. Pressthedesiredcycleandoptionselections.(See
"Dishwasher
Use.")

Press START/RESUME, or press START/RESUME to
repeat the same cycle and options as the previous
cycle.
IMPORTANT: The Start/Resume light will flash if the
door is opened during a cycle. Power interruptions
during a cycle may also cause the Start/Resume light
to flash. Press START/RESUME to continue a cycle.

DISHWASHER LOADING
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. To conserve water and
energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse
dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm
rotation.
Conserve water and energy and save time over hand
rinsing by running 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.

NOTE: Prerinsing dishes soiled with tomato-based
products is recommended to avoid staining the
dishware.
The wash module removes food particles from the
water. The module contains a triple action filtration
system that intermittently filters soil from the water.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and
eggshells enter the wash module, you might hear
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.
For best drying, water must be able to drain from all
surfaces.

Place items so open ends face down for best cleaning
and draining.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering

•

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(s).

•

Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled
surfaces.
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping

The removable top rack allows you to wash larger items
such as stock pots, roasters, and cookie sheets in the
bottom rack.
IMPORTANT: Remove dishes prior to removing the rack
from the dishwasher.

To remove the top rack
1. Pull the rack forward slightly to access clips.
2. While pressing the ridges in, push back on the clip until
the outer side releases. Slide the clip to the inside of
the track edge to remove the clip.

Deluxe 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. Adjusters are located on each side of the
top rack.

i i¸ ,

Flexible tines
The row of tines on the left-hand and right-hand sides of
the top rack can be adjusted to make room for a variety of
dishes.

_i)i

To adjust the flexible tines
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently push the tine out of the holder.
3. Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack.
To raise the top rack

To lower the top rack
Depress both tabs on rack adjusters, as shown above, and
slide the rack back to its original position.

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.

No-flip clips (on some models)
The no-flip 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.

Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
If using TURBOZONE
TM
wash option, load cookware in
TURBOZONE
TM
wash area. (See "TURBOZONETM wash
area.")
•

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.

2. Reposition the clip on another tine.
TURBOZONETM wash area
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.

The TURBOZONE
TM
wash area is located at the back of the
lower dish rack.
NOTE: You must select the TURBOZONE
TM
wash option to
utilize this wash feature. Do not face items toward the rear
of the dishwasher if you are not using this wash option.

TURBOZONE TM wash area

10 place setting

•

Load pans, casserole dishes, etc. in the back of the
lower dish rack with the soiled surfaces facing the
TURBOZONE
TM
spray jets. Make sure items do not
interfere with the water feed tube, spray arms, or
TURBOZONE
TM
spray jets.

•

Tip items toward the rear of the dishwasher between
the back two rows of tines to maximize coverage.

Do not load glasses, cups, or lightweight 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.

IMPORTANT: Only one row of items may face the
TURBOZONE
TM
spray jets. Load items so they do not
interfere with the rotation of the TURBOZONE
TM
spray
jets. Stacking, overlapping, or nesting items will keep
the TURBOZONETM spray jets from reaching all of the
surfaces.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or
take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
•

Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids,
corncob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the
cover to hold small items in place.

Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase
washability of your silverware. Load items using the
slots with the covers down to avoid silverware nesting.
•

•

Some silverware baskets can be separated and placed
into the bottom rack in several locations. Load
silverware in all sections or just one, depending upon
your load.
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.

To remove a small basket Ion some models}
1. Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the
small basket forward to release the tabs from the
corresponding slots.

2. Pull the baskets apart.
NOTES:
•

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

•

Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit
juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse
cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

•

Unload or remove the basket before unloading the
racks to avoid spilling water droplets onto the
silverware.

DISHWASHER USE
The detergent dispenser has two sections. The smaller
Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher
when you close the door. The larger Main Wash section
automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher
during the wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Charts.")

Filling the dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by
moving the cover latch to the right.

A. Cover latch
B. Main Wash section
C. Pre-Wash section

2. Add the correct amount of detergent to the Main Wash
section of the dispenser according to the the chart
below. If you are using a tablet detergent, it must be
placed in the Main Wash section. (See "How much
detergent to use.")
3. Add the correct amount of detergent to the Pre-Wash
section of the dispenser, if needed, according to the
chart below.

Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other
detergents can produce excessive suds that can
overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing
performance.
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 Quick Rinse cycle.

4. Close the dispenser cover and secure by pressing on
the cover directly above the cover latch.
It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing
detergent.
NOTE: See the "Cycle Selection Charts" for which section
to fill depending on the cycle selected.

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 Sears Sales
Associate, local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

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.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Place the knob back into the opening and turn to the
"Lock" position.
Rinse aid setting
The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be
adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of
2 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice
rings or calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a
higher setting.

Add

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 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.

.

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

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher.
Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during offpeak 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 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.
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.

DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge
and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the
outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your
dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel
cleaner is recommended.

Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on
the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.
You may want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type
of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it
may cause foaming or sudsing.
To clean interior
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a
damp sponge and clean.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with
a damp sponge.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting and filming on
dishes" in "Troubleshooting."

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn't
draining well.
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of
a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the
home drain system. If a house drain is clogged, the drain
air gap keeps water from water backing up into
dishwasher.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or
countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap,
please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME ®.Ask for Part Number
300096.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device
that is not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided
with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly
associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain
air gap.
To clean the drain air gap
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper
drainage of your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning
instructions provided by the manufacturer. With most
types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic
cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean
if necessary.

NOTE: Run a normal cycle with detergent after cleaning
the interior.
Storing for the summer
Turn off the water supply and power supply to the
dishwasher during the summer to avoid damage to your
dishwasher.
Winterizing your dishwasher
Avoid water damage to your dishwasher and home due to
freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal
dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing
temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by
authorized service personnel.

pushed into the dishwasher. Make sure dishes do not
interfere with the spray arms, water feed tube, or
TURBOZONE
TM
spray jets.
Are items loaded so they do not overlap? Load items
only one row deep without any overlap so that the
TURBOZONE
TM
spray jets can reach all surfaces.
Are the TURBOZONE
TM
spray jets free to rotate? Make
sure that no loaded items are interfering with the spray
jets' rotation.

Spots and stains on dishes
•

Spotting and filming on dishes
Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in
your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a
liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming.
Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled.
Is the water temperature too low? For best
dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it
enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher
Efficiency Tips" section.
Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent?
Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer
to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Detergent must
be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry
area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require
extra detergent.
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper
dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20
to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If
you have questions about your water pressure, call a
licensed, qualified plumber.
NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a
white vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for
occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too
often could damage your dishwasher.
1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy
saving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal
items.
2. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or
dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom
rack.
3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing
cycle using an air-dry option. Do not use detergent.
Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbowcolored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)
Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with
certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by
some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline
washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the
dishwasher, and the heat of drying. It might not be
possible to avoid the problem, except by hand
washing.
To slow this process use a minimum amount of
detergent per load. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser"
section. Use a liquid rinse aid and underload the
dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and
etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do not
use heated drying.

•

White spots on cookware with nonstick finish

Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the "Rinse
Aid Dispenser" section.

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware
seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the
dishwasher.
•

Did you use an air-dry option? Use a heated drying
option for dryer dishes.

Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior
Does your water have high iron content? Rewash
dishes using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals
added to the covered section of the detergent
dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a Normal
wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more
often than every other month, the installation of an iron
removal unit is recommended.

Dishes are damaged during a cycle

Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes
and glasses so they are stable and do not strike
together from washing action. Minimize chipping by
moving the rack in and out slowly.
NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar
types of china and glassware might be too delicate for
automatic dishwashing. Wash by hand.

Black or gray marks on dishes
Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing?
Disposable aluminum items can break down in the
dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these
items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild
abrasive cleaner.
Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher
interior
Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes
placed in the dishwasher? Stains gradually fade over
time. Regular use of heated drying will slow fading.
Stains will not affect dishwasher performance. Regular
use of a rinse cycle and an air-dry or energy-saving dry
option will reduce the likelihood of staining.
Dishes do not dry completely
•

Dishes are not dry
Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water
drainage? Do not overload. Refer to the "Dishwasher
Loading" section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed
drying.

Chipping of dishes

Noises
•

Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds
A hard object has entered the wash module (on some
models). When the object is ground up, the sound
should stop. If the noise persists after a complete
cycle, call for service.
Dishwasher exterior is dirty or marked

•

Marks, smudges or residue on dishwasher exterior
Did you clean the dishwasher with a mild detergent and
cloth or use a stainless steel cleaner on models with a
stainless steel exterior? In most cases, regular use of a
soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all
that is necessary to keep the outside of your
dishwasher looking fresh and clean. If your dishwasher
has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is
recommended.

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.
