"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.
IM PORTANT 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.
•
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.
•
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.
S
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.
•
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.

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.
Tip OverHazard
Donot usedishwasheruntil completely
WARNING:
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 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 a_d connected to the
equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on the
dishwasher.
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
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 "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.

options as the previous cycle.
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.

from dishes.
or bones)
2,
Properly load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher Loading.")
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.
The lights on the top control panel will turn off and the cycle will
begin. If the door is opened during the cycle, the cycle arid option
lights will turn back on.
NOTE: If the dishwasher is not started within 30 seconds
after closing the door, the cycle and options will revert back
to the last cycle and options completed.
IMPORTANT:
•
When the cycle starts you will see a moving pattern of lights
in the display window indicating that the unit is operating.
This pattern will continue for up to 6 minutes while the
multiple sensors check the incoming water temperature, rinse
aid usage and soil level on dishes and cookware. The sensors
then determine the ideal cycle for your dish load. After
sensing is complete, the display will show the number of
minutes left in the cycle and the cycle countdown will begin.
•
The cycle countdown pauses and the water heating light
glows while the dishwasher heats the water to a set
temperature. (See "Cycle Selection Charf.")
\
3.
Add detergent and check the nnse aid dispenser. Add rinse
aid if needed. (See "Dishwasher Use.")
DISHWASHER
LOADING
4.
Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off
water.
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.
5.
Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See
"Dishwasher Use.")
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.
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if
possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all
surfaces.
6.
Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.
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.
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.
Quiet operating tips
To avoid thumping/clattering
noises during operation:
•
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.
•
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.

DISHWASHER
USE
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pro-Wash
section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close
the door.
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%.

Rinse
Dishwasher
Aid Dispenser
Efficiency Tips
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 mE) 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.

NOTE: The cover latch clicks when the cover is closed and

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.
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.
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.

How the sensor adjusts the cycle:
While the dishwasher is "sensing," it may perform a series of
short drains and fills skimming off small amounts of soils and
dirty water. These are simultaneously replaced with clean water.
This removes trapped food particles from the pump for improved
wash performance. Once soil level is determined, the sensor
automatically adds heat, time, or water as needed for proper
cleaning.

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.
16
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or
countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap call your
local dealer, or in the U.S.A., call the Customer Interaction Center
at 1-800-422-1230 and 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

Storing for the summer
Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning
off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.
Winterizing
your dishwasher
Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage 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.

Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar
rinse as described in "Spotting and filming on dishes" later in
this Troubleshooting guide.
•
Condensation

counter (built-in
models)
Is the dishwasher aligned with the counter top? Moisture
from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the
counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more
information.
•
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? If needed, turn home
water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is at
least 120°F (49°C). 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. Never use less than 1 tb (15 g)
per load. 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. A booster
pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too
low.
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 (473 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 or an energy saving 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 prevent the
problem, except by hand washing.
To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but
not less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. 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.
n
White spots on cookware with non-stick finish
Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware
seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the
dishwasher.
•
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.
•
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.

out slowly.
NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of
china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic
dishwashing. Wash by hand.
