We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can killor hurt you and others, All safety will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or This is themessages safety alert symbol. "WARNING." These words mean: You wiJ be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions. You _ be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions. All safety messages will identify the hazard, 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 likelyto 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 unlessthey are marked "dishwashersafe" 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 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 to the washing compartment removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it. when SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3 i ( Before Using Your shwash, r ") ° r_ 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 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. - 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 s 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 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 Your Dishwasher" in the "Caring for Your Dishwasher" 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.

Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips. Using Your New Dishwasher Loading Suggestions • 1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes. 2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Loading Your ' Dishwasher.") Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely. Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them in 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 egg shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur. \ Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the spray (down or inward). It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces. 3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See "Using Your Dishwasher.") • Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces. Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped. 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 like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time. 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. Quiet operating tips To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: 5. Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See "Using Your Dishwasher.") Press START. • 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 dudng dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains. 7 • China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage can occur. The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended leading patterns shown.) • Wedge lightweight items against one another or overlap them with heavier dishes. NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.. • Load plastic items securely in the top rack only. Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe." • Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be pieced in the top rack. • Load bowls in the center section for best stability. Loading the Top Rack Cup shelf Fold down the extra shelf on the right side of the top rack to hold additional cups, or long items such as utensils and spatulas. 10 place setting load Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining. Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can OCCU_ Split fold-down tines The row of tines on the right side of the top rack can be adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes. The tine adjusters have teal colored tips. 12 place setting load Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs. Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage. To adjust the front half 1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder. 2. Gently push the tine out of the tine holder, 3. Move the tines to the left to make room for larger dishes. Move the tines to the right to wedge plastic or other lightweight items against the side of the rack. To adjust the back half Push the tines down gently toward the center of the rack. Cup andg/assload • 8 To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. Fold-downtines The row of tines on the left side of the top rack can be adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes. The tine adjuster has a teal colored tip. Gently push the tine down, toward the center of the rack, to make room for larger dishes. Loading the Bottom Rack The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See recommended loading patterns shown.) NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may yaP/ from the drawings shown. Stemware holders Use the stemware holders (attached to the cup shelf) to keep water goblets, wine glasses, etc., in place and prevent damage during washing. Mixed load 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 prongs and facing inward to the spray. No-flip clips Overlap the edges of plates for large loads. The no-flip clips hold lightweight plastic items like cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing. You can move a clip anywhere in the rack. 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 prongs. Do not nest bowls because the spray wilt not reach all surfaces. 1. Pull the clip up and off the tine. 2. Reposition the clip on another tine. Utensil 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. You can block the water inlet opening. 9 Split silverware basket The split silverware basket can be separated and placed into the bottom rack in several locations, Loading the Silverware Basket Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table. NOTE: You can remove the basket for easy unloading. Always unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware. This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the bottom rack in several locations. Hold the basket firmly and slide it apart. Load silverware in both sections or just one, depending upon your load. Hold the basket firmly and slide apart. You can use both sections or just one section to load silverware. Cup shelf Fold down the extra shelf on the left side of the lower rack to hold small items such as cups or utensils. Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in the section(s)with hinged cov'_(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place. Mix items in each section of the basket with soma pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items. Fold-down tines You can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of the bottom rack. IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing down. 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. 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. 10 USING YOUR DISHWASHER How Much Detergent to Use • The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won't 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. • You can order a water hardness test strip. Call the Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-422-1230 and ask for Part Number 4171690. Detergent Dispenser The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller PreWash 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 cycle. 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 c(_ol, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%. Water Hardness Amount of Detergent NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle. Soft to Medium Hard Water For normal loads Filling the dispenser 0 to 6 grains per gallon 1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by rotating the button. Partially fill the Main Wash section (2 tbs or 30 g) Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tbs or 30 g) NOTE: Add only 1 tb or 15 g of detergent to the Pre-Wash section if dishes are prerinsed or the water is very soft. For baked on soil loads: • Fill the Main Wash section (2 tbs or 30 g) • Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tbs or 30 g) 2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How Much Detergent to Use." For heavily soiled loads: 3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the PreWash section. • Fill the Main Wash section (3 tbs or 45 g) • Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tbs or 30 g) Medium to Hard Water For normal and heavily soiled loads: 7 to 12 grains per gallon • Fill the Main Wash section (3 tbs or 45 g) • Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tbs or 30 g) It is normal for the cover to open partially when, dispensing detergent. NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the "Cycle Selection Chart" for more details. 11 3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full. Water Hardness Amount very Hard Water For normal loads: 4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a clamp cloth. 13 grains per gallon and above • 5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn it to CLOSED. NOTE: It might be necessary to use the Soak & Scrub cycle, or the Normal cycle, with a High Temp wash option or Super Scrub (if available) for best wash performance with very hard water. of Detergent Fill the Main Wash section (3 tbs or 45 g) Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tbs or 30 g) Turn the rinse aid dispenser to a higher setting. See "Rinse Aid Dispenser" later in this section. Rinse aid setting The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For most water conditions set the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. For heavily soiled loads; • Fill the Main Wash section. (3 tbs or 45 g) • Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tbs or 30 g) • Turn the rinse aid dispenser to a higher setting. See "Rinse Aid Dispenser" later in this section, ii ,ll NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent. Rinse Aid Dispenser A rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Filling the dispenser The rinse aid dispenser holds 5.2 oz (153,7 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it. To adjust the setting Remove the dispenser knob, then turn the adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting. Dishwasher Efficiency Tips 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 must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. To check water temperature 1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute. 2. Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer placed in the running stream of water. 1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. 2. Turn the dispenser knob to OPEN and lift it out. 3, If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's thermostat setting. Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible. These cycles use tess hot water and energy than the Normal wash cycle. Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher during off-peek hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day, During the summer, run your dishwasher at night to reduce daytime heat buildup. 12 • Use an air dry, or an energy saving dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. 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. • Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full. Use this cycle for loads with normal amounts of food soil. This cycle adds heat to the main wash and heats the water to 140°F (60°C) in the final rinse. (The energy usage label is based on this cycle.) When the wash sensor detects extra food soil, heating time is added in the main wash, if needed, to ensure a 140°F (60°C) wash temperature. Use both detergent dispenser sections. Cycle Selection Chart PreWash Select the wash cycle and options desired. Press START to use the same cycle and option(s) as the previous cycle. NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cyc)e, the dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and options(s) that you selected when you press Start. A "Q" shows what steps are in each cycle. % Rinse This cycle is the most aggressive cycle to virtually eliminate bacteria from your dish load. Also use this cycle for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles and regular tableware. The water heats to 135°F (57°C) during pre-wash, 145°F (63°C) in the main wash, and 155°F (68°C) in the final rinse; and when combined with our aggressive wash action and your regular dishwasher detergent, virtually eliminates food-soil bacteria.

A rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Once soil level is determined, the sensor automatically adds heat, time, or water as needed for proper cleaning. D t, n " gSy"stem RINSE AID U During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper _eft corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes. EMPTY If the Rinse Aid dispenser is empty, the light glows when you select a cycle or while e cycle is running. Sani-Rinse Completed light if you select the Sani Rinse option, SANI-RINSE COMPLETED glows when the Sani Rinse cycle is finished. SANI-RINSE COMPLETED IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying. I...JI if your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted. The light goes off when you open the door. Overfill Protection Float The overfill protector (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate. Wash System The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results. A triple filtration and soil collector system filters the wash water and prevents food particles from redepositing . on the clean dishes. • The wash water continuously flows through the UltraFine filter, trapping food particles. A small amount of water remains under the filter to keep the pump seal moist. Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down. As the Ultra-Fine filter traps food particles, the pressure in the pump increases.
