Tips
• Use the ENERGYSAVERDRY (no heat)
option whenever
possible. If your
incoming water temperature
is 140°F

Energy Saver Dry (no heat) can be used
with any Wash Selection to eliminate the
heat during the drying portion of a cycle. The
fan of the drying system will continue to
operate, helping the dishes to air dry
naturally. Under certain conditions, you may
find a few drops of water on the dishware
and silverware at the end of this cycle.
To Cancel A Cycle
The Cycle Selection Dial may be used to
cancel any cycle in progress. If water is
present in the dishwasher, turn the dial
slowly to the drain portion of the wash or
rinse. You will hear water draining when you
have advanced to the proper location. Let the
dishwasher drain completely. Lift the door
handle and advance the dial to the Pots/Pans
Cycle. This cancels the cycle.
If water is absent from the dishwasher, lift
door handle to stop dishwasher action.

During

A Cycle

You can add a forgotten item to the dishwasher anytime before the main detergent
wash portion of the cycle. To stop the cycle,
just unlatch the door handle. However,
opening the door during a cycle reduces the
cleaning power, so try to load all items before
starting the cycle.
TO RESTARTDISHWASHER -- Close the door
and latch the handle, push cycle button

Saver button. The cycle will start exactly
where it was stopped.

Your KitchenAid dishwasher
Js designed with lots of loading space. Glasses, mugs, saucers and
saucepans can be loaded in either the upper or lower rack. For best results, dishware should be
loaded so soiled surfaces face the rotating wash arm.

ALWAYS use at least one tablespoon of
automatic dishwashing detergent in Main
Wash compartment because there are
ingredients in detergent to help protect your
dinnerware. The amount of detergent
needed depends on the amount of food soil
on the dishes and the hardness of water. If
you have hard water, you will have to use
more detergent than if you have soft water.

Contact your local water utility, area water

Low Phosphate
Detergents

Caring For your
Dishwasher

If you live in a state that mandates
low-phosphate dishwasher detergents
(phosphate content of 8.7 percent or less),
you may have to use more detergent,
particularly if you have hard water.
Low-phosphate detergents usually work
well in soft water, but in hard water they
can cause spotting and filming, even if the
amount of detergent used is increased.

General

Rinse Agents

The control panel can be wiped clean with a
damp cloth, then dried. NEVER use detergents or abrasive or powdered cleansers
which can mar the finish.

Your dishwasher uses a liquid rinse agent. A
rinse agent helps water to sheet off dishware
faster than normal, reducing water spots and
speeding up the drying process.
To fill the rinse agent dispenser, unscrew the
cap located to the left of the detergent
dispenser. This reservoir will hold 7 fluid
ounces of rinse agent, enough to last a few
months. Be sure to replace the cap after filling
the reservoir. A small amount of rinse agent is
automatically released during the final rinse,
Liquid rinse agents such as JET-DRY® are
available in your local supermarket.

Cleaning

The porcelain enamel interior of your
dishwasher will seldom need cleaning.
However, if mineral deposits from hard
water accumulate, clean the interior with a
mild scouring powder or follow the suggestions indicated in the "Removing Spots and
Film" section on page 19.
DO NOT use any type of cleanser that may
cause foaming and sudsing. Run the dishwasher through a normal cycle.

The enamel or wood fronts and sides can be
cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild, nonabrasive soap and water solution. NEVER use
paper towels for cleaning. Always dry with a
soft cloth.

Seasonal
The Summer

Storage

Season:

Two simple steps will safeguard your
KitchenAid dishwasher during an idle
summer:
I. Turn off the water supply
2. Turn off electricity to the dishwasher.
The Winter

Season:

Drain Air Gap
Some state or local plumbing codes require
the addition of a drain air gap between a
built-in dishwasher
and the home drain
system. This device protects your dishwasher
against water backing up into it when a
drain clogs. The drain air gap is usually
located on top of the sink or countertop
near
the dishwasher.
Drain air gap accessory part
number 300096 is available from KitchenAid.
REMEMBER. This external plumbing
device is
not part of your KitchenAid Dish washer.

To protect against possible rupture of
fill valve, BE SURE water lines leading to, as well as in the dishwasher,
are well protected against freezing.
RUPTURES OF THIS KIND ARE NOT
COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

To safeguard your KitchenAid dishwasher
when it is exposed to freezing temperatures
in a seasonal dwelling, have a local qualified
person do the following:
1. Close and latch the door.
2. Turn off electricity

to the dishwasher.

3. Shut off water supply

To Clean

Air Gap:

Clean the drain air gap periodically
to insure

4. Place a pan under the drain valve outlet,
and disconnect the flexible tubing at the
drain valve. Drain machine water into
pan. Leave fill and drain valve disconnected.
To restore service, reconnect the fill valve and
the connection
at the drain valve. Turn on the
electricity and the water supply. Close and
latch the door. Select the LIGHT/CHINA
WASH CYCLE and let the machine complete
its cycle. Check connections
to make sure
they are water tight and do not leak.

Wash System

The Sure-ScrubTM Wash System in your dishwasher provides excellent cleaning results.
The wash water is continuously filtered by a
triple filtration and soil collector system to
prevent food particles from redepositing on
clean dishes. The triple filtration system
consists of a removable filter (A), an ultrafine
filter (B) and a removable coarse strainer (C).

The removable coarse strainer (C) prevents
bones, pits and other large objects from
entering the pump system. Occasionally
check the strainer for such items that may
have mistakenly gotten into the dishwasher.
The 4-Way Hydro Sweep Wash Arm, the
removable filter and the coarse strainer may
be removed and cleaned if necessary. If food

A

The removable filter continuously filters the
wash water and traps the food particles that
have been removed from the dishes on the
outside of the filter. These trapped food
particles are removed from the filter by the jet
spray action of water from the single spray
nozzle (D) underneath the wash arm. The
ultrafine filter is cleaned by the nine water
jets (E) underneath the 4-Way Hydro Sweep
Wash Arm.

Improper

Load dishes and glasses so that they are stable and do not strike
together from washing action. (Note: Some types of china and
glassware are too delicate for automatic dishwashing
and should be
hand washed; for example: antiques, featheredged
and similar types.)
Moving racks in and out smoothly will also minimize chipping.
