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 potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or This is themessages safety alertwillsymbol. "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 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WAR N ING; 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 likely to damage the door seal; and 2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. • To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. • 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 or dish racks of 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. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS when GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher: The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a r'nalfunction 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. Tip Over Hazard WARNING: Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts. 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 death, fire, or electrical shock. can result in 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 "Dishwasher Care" 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 as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See Installation Instructions for complete information. 4 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.

Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips. 1, Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks from dishes, 2. Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water, energy and save time it is not necessary to rinse 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. or bones) Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher Loading.") Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely. 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. \ It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces. 3. Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See "Dishwasher Use.") 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. 4. Conserve water, 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 like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time. 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 5.

The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur. Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots. 10 place setting Cup and glass load • China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur. • Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended. • Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle. • To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. • Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability. 12place setting 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 tines. Overlap the edges of plates for large loads. 7 • Load soup, cereal, and serving bow_s in the rack in a vadety 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. CULINARY CADDY TM utensil basket Use the Utensil basket to hold specialty cooking utensils (wooden spoons, spatulas, and similar items), or overflow silverware items. iI Utensi_load • The basket hangs on the bottom rack in the right corner. Load the basket while it is on the bottom rack or remove the basket for loading on a counter or table. NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms. 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. Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table. NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware. Mixed 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. FLEXI-FOLD DOWN TM flexible tines You can fold down one or both rows of ti_es at the back of the bottom rack. 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. 8 Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items. 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. DISHWASHER (:_ _ _ !_i i _¸'i USE _ _i:_ _ The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door. 2 _ _ 1. Cover latch 2. Main wash section 3. Pre-wash section 4. Cover The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Chart.") 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. In the U.S.A., call the Customer Interaction Center at 1-800-422-1230 and ask for Part Number 4171690. 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 Soft to Medium Hard Water For normally soiled loads Oto 6 grains per gallon • Partially fill the Main Wash section (5 tsp or 25 g) • Fill the Pre-Wash section (4 tsp or 20 g) m Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance. NOTE: Add only 2 tsp or 10 g of detergent to the Pre-Wash section if dishes are pre-rinsed or the water is very soft (0 to 2 grains per gallon). m Add detergent just before starting a cycle. For heavily soiled loads • Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. • Partially fill the Main Wash section (7 tsp or 35 g) • Fill the Pre-Wash section (4 tsp or 20 g) NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle. Filling the dispenser 1, If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the cover latch, Medium to Hard Water For normal and heavily soiled loads 7 to 12 grains per gallon • Partially flu the Main Wash section (7 tsp or 36 g) • Fill the Pre-Wash section (4 tsp or 20 g) Very Hard Water 2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How Much Detergent to Use." 13 grains per gallon and above 3. Fill the Pre-Wash section, if needed. 4. Close the dispenser cover. NOTE: It might be necessary to use the Heavy cycle, or the Normal cycle with Hi-Temp Scrub, for best wash performance with very hard water. it is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent. NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the main wash section for cycles with 1 wash. See the "Cycle Selection Chart" for more details. For normally and heavily soiled loads • Fillthe Main Wash section (8 tsp or 40 g) • Fillthe Pre-Wash section (4 tsp or 20 g) • Turn the rinse aid dispenser to a higher setting. See "Rinse Aid Dispenser" later in this section. 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. 9 Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve 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. 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. Filling the dispenser The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 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 check water temperature 1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute. 1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. 2. Open the dispenser 2.

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Use the Normal cycle whenever possible. This cycle uses less hot water and energy than other cycles, Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day. NOTE: The cover latch clicks when the cover is closed and latched. 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. Check the temperature running into the cup. II During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen. • 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. To adjust the setting Open the dispenser cover. Turn the adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting. 10 Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle. Only NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, the dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and options that you selected when you press Start. • If the power is off or the door is open for an extended period of time, the Start button memory will default to the Normal cycle with heated drying. • If you do not run the dishwasher daily, close the door to maintain memory.

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. 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. 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 damp sponge. OR detergent and clean with a See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting dishes" in "Troubleshooting." and filming on NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the interior. 14 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 drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it. ! The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher.
