WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, injury to persons,

or damage when using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Certied residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

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;

2) Load sharp knives with the

handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

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.

If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, ensure disposer is completely empty before running the dishwasher.

Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water and energy, and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash system is designed to remove food particles from the water.

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 results, 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.

Conserve water and energy, and save the time you would spend hand-rinsing by running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist, if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.15

QUIET OPERATING TIPS

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

Make sure lightweight 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 during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

The Upper Rack height can be easily adjusted to accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack. IMPORTANT: Remove any dishes before adjusting the rack. To accommodate taller dishes in the bottom rack:

1. Grasp each side and lift up to raise the upper rack.

To accommodate taller dishes in the upper rack:

1. Pull up on the adjusting arm on each side to lower the upper rack.16

The upper rack is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls and plastic items marked dishwasher safe. 14 Place Setting IMPORTANT: Make sure the dishes loaded in the upper rack do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm located beneath the upper rack. Check by turning spray arm by hand. NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

Place items so open ends face downward for cleaning and draining.

Load glasses and cups in upper rack only. The lower 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.17

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.

China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not interfere with the middle or lower spray arm turning freely, or block the detergent dispenser from opening. The lower rack is designed for plates, soup bowls, cookware and bakeware. The adjustable upper rack allows you to load items up to 13” in height. The fold-down tines in the bottom rack make it easier to load large items. The tines may be left in the up position for normal use, or folded down for more exible loading. NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.18

Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the lower rack. Load small items in the lower rack only if they are secured in place.

Load plates, soup bowls, etc. between tines.

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 tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

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.

Place 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 because they might block the water inlet opening. NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.19

FOLD-DOWN AND/OR ADJUSTABLE TINES

(ON SOME MODELS) 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 or adjust as needed in the rack to make room for larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.

THREE-PIECE SILVERWARE BASKET

The silverware basket consists of three separate sections. For optimum loading exibility, the center section of the basket can be used either individually or joined with one or both side sections as desired. Lift handle to remove the silverware basket and set the basket on a counter or table top. Lift up on each side section to disengage the the center section from the keyhole slots in the side sections. Either replace the section(s) in the bottom rack and load the silverware, OR load the silverware while the section(s) are on the countertop and then replace the basket in the bottom rack.

a Keyhole Slots b Prongs NOTES: Load items with handles down, using the separators to prevent silverware from nesting. Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc. in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place. Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid water drops from falling on the silverware.20

When handles are up, 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, etc.) pointing down. Be sure that nothing protrudes through bottom of the basket or rack that may block the wash arm. DISHWASHER USE

PROPER USE OF DETERGENT

IMPORTANT: Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance. Add detergent just before starting a cycle. Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. All wash cycles except RINSE require detergent in the detergent dispenser. DETERGENT DISPENSER 1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pressing down on the cover latch. The cover will slide to the right.

a Cover b Cover Latch21

2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the detergent cup.

NOTE: If using dishwasher detergent in the tablet or pac form, place the detergent in the detergent cup, NOT in the tub to avoid premature breakdown of the detergent. a Detergent Cup

3. Slide the dispenser cover to the left, and then press down on the ridged arrow to

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 detergent in soft water, glassware will etch. Water Hardness Water hardness varies depending on your source. For the best results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. Test kits are available from all major appliance parts retail outlets. If your water has a hardness over 8 grains per gallon, you may consider installing a water softener or regularly use an additive to enhance the performance of your detergent. Soil Level of Load Depending on how much soil is on your dish load, you may need to adjust the amount of detergent.22

PROPER USE OF RINSE AID

Your dishwasher is designed to use a LIQUID rinse aid. Using a rinse aid greatly improves drying performance after the nal rinse. Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain o of the dishes during the nal rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your Rinse Aid dispenser is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Under normal conditions, you will need to ll the rinse aid dispenser approximately once a month. Rinse aid is released through an opening in the dispenser. You do not need to wait until the dispenser is empty to rell it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overll it.1. Open the dishwasher door.2. Turn the rinse aid dispenser cap counterclockwise and pull up to remove.3. Pour rinse aid into the dispenser until the indicator points to MAX.4. You can adjust the amount of the rinse aid released during the rinse. The greater the number indicates a greater amount of rinse aid released.

a Dispenser Cap b Less c More 5. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.6. Replace the rinse aid cap, and then turn the cap clockwise to close.23

WASHING SPECIAL ITEMS

If you have doubts about washing a particular item, check with the manufacturer to see if it is dishwasher safe. Material Dishwasher Safe Comments Aluminum Possible High water temperature and detergents can aect nish of anodized aluminum. Unnished aluminum will be discolored. Disposable Aluminum No Do not wash disposable aluminum pans in the dishwasher These might shift during washing and transfer black marks to dishes and other items. Bottles and cans No Wash bottles and cans by hand. Labels attached with glue can loosen and clog the spray arms or pump and reduce washing performance. Cast Iron No Seasoning will be removed and iron will rust. China / Stoneware Yes Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing. Antique, hand-painted, or over- the-glaze patterns may fade, gold leaf can discolor or fade. Crystal Yes Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing. Some types of leaded crystal can etch with repeated washing. Gold No Gold-colored atware will discolor. Glass Yes Milk glass yellows with repeated dishwasher washing. Hollow- Handle Knives No Handles of some knives are attached to the blade with adhesive that can loosen if washed in the dishwasher. Pewter Brass, Bronze No High water temperatures and detergent can discolor or pit the nish. Disposable Plastics No Cannot withstand high water temperatures and detergents. Plastics Yes Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing. Plastics vary in their capacity to withstand high temperatures and detergents. Load plastics in top rack only. Stainless Steel Yes Run a rinse cycle if not washing immediately. Prolonged contact with food containing salt, vinegar, milk products, or fruit juice can damage nish. Sterling Silver or Silver Plate Yes Run a rinse cycle if not washing immediately. Prolonged contact with food containing salt, acid, or sulde (eggs, mayonnaise, and seafood) can damage nish. Tin No Can rust. Wooden Ware No Wash by hand. Always check manufacturer’s instructions before washing. Untreated wood can warp, crack, or lose its nish.24 DISHWASHER CARE CLEANING

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 clean outside of your dishwasher. Clean the stainless steel door and handle regularly with a clean, soft cloth to remove debris. IMPORTANT: Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or products containing chlorine to clean the stainless steel door. Control Panel Gently clean the control panel with a clean, soft cloth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

The tub is made of stainless steel designed to resist rust and corrosion if the dishwasher should be scratched or dented. Hard water minerals can cause a white lm 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 create suds. Clean the spots on the steel inner door and tub with a clean, soft damp cloth. Using a damp cloth, clean around the door gasket regularly to remove food particles.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

The coarse lter needs to be cleaned regularly to maximize wash performance.

1. Remove the bottom rack.

2. Rotate the coarse lter counterclockwise a quarter turn and lift up to remove.

3. Empty lter and rinse it under running water.

4. Remove the Fine lter and Micro lter and clean by holding under slow running

5. Replace lters by reversing the process.25

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. 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:

1. Turn o the dishwasher.

2. Lift o the metal cover, and then unscrew the plastic cap.

3. Clean plastic cap with a toothpick.

Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning o the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

WINTERIZING YOUR DISHWASHER

Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage caused by 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.26 TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Dishwasher Leaks Excessive suds caused by using improper detergent. Use only detergent approved for automatic dishwashers. Dishwasher is not level. Level the Dishwasher. See Installation Instructions.

DISHES ARE NOT COMPLETELY CLEAN

Food soil left on the dishes Dishwasher is not loaded correctly. See “Dishwasher Loading.” Selected the wrong wash cycle for the dish load. Select the cycle for the most dicult soil in the dishwasher load. If you have some items with heavier soils, use a heavier washing cycle. Water temperature is too low. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be a minimum of 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Used incorrect amount of detergent. Use a minimum of 1Tbsp. (15 g) detergent. (15 g) per load. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent. Detergent is too old. Detergent must be fresh to be eective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Detergent is caked in the dispenser. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser and rell with fresh, dry detergent. The pump or spray arm is clogged with labels from bottles and cans. Check pump and spray arm for labels and remove the labels. The pressure of the water coming into the home is too low. Water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher ll. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low. High suds are slowing the wash arm. Use detergent recommended for the dishwasher only. Do not use soap or laundry detergents.29

SPOTS AND STAINS ON DISHES

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Spotting and lming on dishes NOTE: To remove spots and lm 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. See “Cleaning .” Hard water. High mineral content in your water Use a rinse aid and keep the dispenser lled to help eliminate spotting and lming. If your water hardness is 13 grains or above, it is strongly recommended that you install a home water softener. Water temperature is too low. For best results, water should be a minimum 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Did not use enough detergent. Use a minimum of 1 Tbsp. (15 g) of detergent per load. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent. Detergent is too old. Detergent must be fresh and dry to be eective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Home water pressure is too low to ll dishwasher properly. Water pressure to the home should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher ll. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low. Rinse aid dispenser is empty. Add rinse aid to the dispenser. Silica lm or etching Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by some combination of softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insucient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and the heat of drying. Silica lm and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. To slow this process, use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tbsp. (15g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and under load the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Do not use heated drying. The inlet water temperature exceeds 150°F (65°”C). Lower the incoming water temperature. White spots on cookware with non- stick nish The dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning. After washing in the dishwasher, season cookware again.30

PROBLÈME CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Film de silice ou attaque Il y a parfois une réaction chimique de l’eau avec certains types de verres. Ceci est habituellement imputable à certaines combinaisons d’eau adoucie, à une solution de lavage alcaline, à un rinçage insusant, à un chargement excessif du lave-vaisselle ou à la chaleur de séchage. Il n’est pas possible d’éliminer le lm de silice ou l’eet de l’attaque chimique qui demeurent en permanence. Pour ralentir ce processus, utiliser la quantité minimale de détergent, mais pas moins d’une cuillerée à soupe (15 g) par charge. Utiliser un agent de rinçage liquide, et ne pas trop charger le lave- vaisselle pour permettre un rinçage en profondeur. Ne pas utiliser un séchage avec chaleur. La température d'arrivée d'eau est supérieure à 150 °F (65 °C). Diminuer la température d'arrivée d'eau.
