PRODUCT FEATURES

LARGE CAPACITY

SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE dishwashers allow you to load very large items in both the upper and lower racks. The tall tub provides extra overall capacity and the clearance to accommodate large dishes. Extra large items (max. 14 in.) may be loaded in the lower rack by raising the upper rack.

This system effectively dries dishes without the use of a heating element that would increase energy consumption.

STEAM WASHING

Steam technology provides better cleaning performance than regular wash systems. Steam provides the most energy-efficient gentle care for your finest china and stemware.

VARIABLE SPRAY SYSTEM

Because the water spray alternates between the upper and lower racks, all of the power from the motor is directed to one rack at a time. This concentrates all the cleaning power of the motor on each rack in turn.

SMART FUNCTIONS

Push Alerts - Turn on the Push Alerts to receive appliance status notifications.

Monitoring - Check the current status, cycle, options, running time and cycle end time for the appliance on a single screen.

Smart Diagnosis™ - Should you experience technical difficulty, your appliance has the capability of transmitting data by phone to the Customer Information Center to diagnosis the problem.

Step1: Preparing Cabinet Opening

1 This dishwasher is designed to fit a standard dishwasher opening.
2 Select a location as close to the sink as possible for easy connections to water and drain lines.
3 To ensure proper drainage, the dishwasher should not be installed more than 12 ft. (3.65 m) from the sink.
4 If the dishwasher is to be installed in a corner, a minimum of 2 in. (50 mm) is required between the dishwasher and the adjacent wall.
5 To allow for proper clearance of plumbing and electrical, use the template included with the literature to determine the clearance on the side of the cabinet where the cabinet meets the back wall. Using a 2 ^1/2 " diameter hole saw, drill a hole in the target area as shown on the template. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING HOLE UNLESS IT IS IN THE TARGET AREA.

SIGNATURE UPDF9904ST - Step1: Preparing Cabinet Opening - 1

CAUTION

Failure to properly locate the hole for the water and drain lines may prevent the dishwasher from installing flush with the cabinets and could result in kinked or damaged lines. Installation damage is not covered by the warranty, and leaks caused by improper installation may result in property damage.

An opening may be needed on both sides to route plumbing and electrical connections.

SIGNATURE UPDF9904ST - CAUTION - 1

Adding Cleaning Detergent Adding Detergent to the Dispenser

  • Only use detergent intended for automatic dishwashers.
  • Put detergent into the detergent compartment before starting any cycle, except the Rinse Only cycle.
  • Use less detergent if the dishes are only lightly soiled. Using excess detergent can leave a film on dishes as well as in the dishwasher, resulting in poor wash performance.
  • The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.

NOTE

  • Remove the label on the dispenser prior to running the dishwasher for the first time.
  • Do not add detergent when the Rinse Only cycle is selected.

1 Press the lever on the bottom side of the lid to open the dispenser.

natural_image Line drawing of a hand inserting a small object into a device (no text or symbols)

NOTE

  • Too much detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher, resulting in poor wash performance.
  • Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash cycles. The tablet may not dissolve completely, causing detergent residue on dishes and inefficient cleaning. Using a wash booster helps remove spots, residue, and the white film caused by hard water. It does not help remove excess detergent residue.

SIGNATURE UPDF9904ST - NOTE - 1

CAUTION

Detergent Information

Use only detergent intended for automatic dishwashers. Incorrect detergent may cause the dishwasher to fill with suds during operation. Excess suds may reduce wash performance and may cause the dishwasher to leak. DO NOT use hand dishwashing detergent in this dishwasher.

Adding Rinse Aid to the Dispenser

The Low Rinse Aid indicator appears in the display when more rinse aid is needed.

The use of rinse aid is recommended to prevent water spots on dishes and to enhance drying performance.

Rinse Aid Dispenser Adjustment

The rinse aid dispenser is set to level 4, which provides the best performance under most conditions. Adjust the setting higher if you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishes.

If you notice a film on your dishes, use a lower setting. Setting the rinse aid control too low will contribute to spotting and streaking on dishes and poor drying performance. Setting the control too high can cause foaming, which will cause poor wash performance. To adjust the rinse aid dispenser setting, remove the cap and adjust the rinse aid lever to the desired setting. Point the arrow to the left for a lower setting, and to the right for a higher setting.

SIGNATURE UPDF9904ST - Rinse Aid Dispenser Adjustment - 1

text_image Rinse-aid indicator Adjust lever (Rinse)

Refilling the Rinse Aid

How often the dispenser needs to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used. If the rinse aid level is low, the Rinse Aid light on the control panel illuminates.

Rinse Aid Filling Tips:

  • The Low Rinse Aid indicator appears in the display when more rinse aid is needed.
  • Do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser.

TROUBLESHOOTING

FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this dishwasher require a rinse aid to be used?

A: Rinse aid is strongly recommended to enhance the drying performance of the dishwasher. In order to be more energy efficient, the hybrid drying system does not use a heating element to assist in drying, so a rinse aid plays an integral role in the drying process. If a rinse aid is not used, water may remain on the dishes and the tub. Rinse aid helps to ensure that the majority of the water has been sheeted off of the dishes at the end of the rinse and that the load is ready for the dry cycle.

Q: What can be done if my dishes have a cloudy, white film on them after a wash?

A: The cloudy film is usually caused by minerals in the water reacting with the dishwasher detergent. First, be certain not to use too much detergent. Refer to Adding Detergent to the Dispenser section for recommended detergent amounts. Add an extra rinse to the cycle. SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE Dishwashers use less water than traditional dishwashers, so adding an extra rinse aids in rinsing the film away. If the water supply is hard, it may be necessary to add a performance booster that addresses the hard water condition.

Q: What is the Sanitary option and how is it activated?

A: When selected, the Sanitary option increases the temperature of the heated rinse to approximately 161 °F (72 °C). The normal heated rinse temperature varies from cycle to cycle. Depending on the model, activate the Sanitary option as follows: either press the Sanitary button, press the Option button repeatedly, or press the Rinse button repeatedly until the Sanitary light shows in the display.

Q: What steps can I take to improve drying results?

A: Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your dishwasher is far away from your home's hot water heater, it may be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of hot water from start to finish. Using the Sanitary setting also aids in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins.

SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will maximize the amount of water that has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry cycle begins. If a rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used by the indicator on the rinse aid cap. 4 is the default setting, but if necessary set the level to 5 so more rinse aid is used.

Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is opened in the middle of the dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes.

Q: What is the hybrid drying system?

A: The dishwasher does not rely on a heating element for the drying process; instead, it relies on the heat that is retained by the dishes and the tub during the wash and rinse cycles to turn the moisture in the tub into humidity.

Warm, moist air in the dishwasher is then pulled into a condensing duct in the door by a fan. The air then cools, which causes the humidity to condense. Room temperature air is also drawn into the duct to help the air cool down faster. When this moisture condenses into a liquid, it is drained out.

NOTE

Rinse aid is required to enhance the drying performance. If no rinse aid is used, water may remain on the dishes and the tub.

Q: Why am I hearing a whistling sound from the dishwasher?

A: It is important to determine the duration of the noise and when it happens (what part of the cycle). When water is drawn into the dishwasher, a whistling noise can be heard. This is normal. If the water pressure is too high, it will be louder, so it may be necessary to adjust the water valve to lower the pressure if the noise is too loud.

Q: What is Steam Dual?

A: Steam Dual are an option that fully customizes the wash cycle intensity for the upper and lower racks independently in the same load. For example, wash delicate stemware in the upper rack and pots and pans in the lower rack by selecting a soft spray for the upper rack and a strong spray for the lower rack.

Q: What kinds of dishes can be placed in the dishwasher?

A: Ensure that the dishes you place in the dishwasher are dishwasher safe. Plastic dishware will not dry as effectively as glass and metal dishware. Plastic items do not retain heat as well as glass and metal dishware. Plastic cups and dishes may require some hand drying before being put away at the end of the cycle.

Q: Can I perform a drain only cycle?

A: To drain standing water, press and hold Cancel or Cancel and Drain until the display shows dr and the cycle stops. Once the dishwasher finishes draining, the power turns off. See the Operation section for how to select Cancel or Cancel and Drain for this model.

Q: How long does the clean indicator stay lit after the cycle is complete?

A: The clean indicator light on the dishwasher will stay lit for four minutes before turning off. However, you can program the dishwasher so that the clean light stays on until the dishwasher door opens by turning the power on and then pressing and holding the Extra Dry and Half Load buttons at the same time until Off or On appears in the display. The dishwasher will remember the setting until manually changed.

Q: Why does my dishwasher continuously beep if I open the door during a cycle or right after the cycle has finished?

A: This is normal. The dishwasher is letting you know that the interior temperatures of the unit are hot and to use caution when placing your hands inside. Once the unit has cooled down, the beeping will stop.

Q: What is the benefit of steam?

A: Steam allows for thorough cleaning of baked on foods while using less water than other Power Scrub methods. Steam also allows for enhanced cleaning performance when cleaning fine china and stemware items on a delicate cycle. Stream particles are smaller and more active, so their penetrating power is more effective. Steam also increases the interior temperature of the dishwasher, which helps in melting oily or waxy substances, like lipstick along the rim of a glass.

Q: What is Child Lock and how is it activated?

A: Child Lock is a feature that prevents the controls from being changed during the cycle. It does not prevent the door from being opened or the unit from being powered off. To activate or deactivate, press Spray and Rinse simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Q: Why is PF showing up on the display?

A: PF is not an error code indicating a malfunction. PF indicates that there was a power failure. This function protects the dishwasher in the event that the power goes out or the power to the unit is disrupted. When power is returned and a button is pushed, this will display for 10 seconds and then go away.

Q: Can I add an extension to the drain hose?

A: If an extension drain hose is required, use for connecting the two hose ends. 58 " or 78 " inside diameter, 2-3 ft. length hose and a coupler

Q: Before loading dishes, should I pre-rinse dishes?

A: No you don't need to pre-rinse the dishes before loading especially if using the Normal and Auto cycles. The dishwasher washes dishes clean without pre-rinsing.

Before Calling for Service
