MAYTAG MDB4949SHZ - Your safety and the safety of others are very important. - 1

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

! DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

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

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.
    ■ 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.

■ 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, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
■ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on 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 or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

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.

WARNING: 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.

KEY USAGE TIPS

Filtration system

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. The Clean Water Wash system continuously removes food particles from the wash water for excellent performance. Plus, there is no need to ever remove and clean the filter.

Drying - Rinse aid is essential

You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance. Rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option will provide improved drying and avoid excessive moisture in dishwasher interior.

natural_image Illustration of a hand pouring liquid into a device with a blue bottle (no text or symbols visible)

Energy efficiency

The Auto cycle senses load size, soil amount, and toughness of soil. This cycle is optimized to achieve the best cleaning with using minimal water and energy consumption. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Your first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor. When you need fast results, Quick Wash will clean your dishes but use slightly more water and energy.

Lower rack
Rack may vary by model

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

■Make sure when dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking detergent dispenser.
■Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and between dishes.
■Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates, that may trap food.
■Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in upper rack.
■Wash only items marked "dishwasher safe."
■To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in racks.
■Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.

3. Add detergent

Premeasured Detergents

High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance.

Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. They are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in main compartment and close lid.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the complete User Instructions for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.

■Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
■Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.

4. Add rinse aid

■Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heating and drying options will not perform as well without rinse aid.
■Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of dishes after final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware, and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.

■To add rinse aid, open the dispenser lid by gently pushing in the center of the lid with your thumb while lifting up on the edge.

5. Select a cycle

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 2^1/2 hours but can take less or more time to complete depending on selections. Push door firmly closed and select the cycle appropriate for your load (see Cycle Guide).

6. Select options

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected for a given cycle, lights will flash.

7. START or resume a cycle

NOTE: If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off water. With door firmly closed press START.

IMPORTANT: If the door is opened for more than a few seconds after the cycle is started (even during the Delay time), the START button must be pressed again after the door is closed. If START button is not pressed the START button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not resume.

8. Follow the progress of your dishwasher

The indicator light will indicate the cycle progress such as Add Dish, Washing, Drying, Clean, and Sanitized. The cycle has completed when the Clean light is lit. Refer to the Controls and Cycle Status section for operation of the Sanitized indicator.

CYCLE GUIDE

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all cycles and options described.

IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with only a soft, damp cloth, and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, it may have a coating that is resistant to fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior

Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as affresh ^® Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affresh ^® Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions.

NOTE: Maytag recommends the use of high-quality, premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.

†affresh® is a registered trademark of Whirlpool, U.S.A.

If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn't draining well.

To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

■When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.
■Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

If you experience

Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycleIt is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during the main wash.Is the door closed tightly and latched?Is the right cycle selected?Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service. Is the water shutoff valve (if installed) turned on?
The START indicator is flashingIf the Start light is flashing, close the door and press START within 4 seconds. If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run.
Dishes do not dry completelyNOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying. Proper loading of items can affect drying.Adjust your rinse aid dispenser to a higher number, allowing a larger amount of rinse aid to dispense.See section on adding rinse aid. Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when you are unloading the dishwasher.■Unload the bottom rack first.
If you experienceRecommended Solutions
Noise NOTE: Common noises:■ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the wash cycle and during the drain cycle.■Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.■ A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.■Improper installation will affect noise levels.■ A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms. Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.
Spotting/FilmingLiquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting. Use the correct amount of detergent. Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes and dry the item. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See the “Dishwasher Care” section. If the cloudiness on glass does not come clear, it is due to etching. Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).Try using the High Temp Wash or Sani Rinse option.
Dishwasher does not clean completelyBe sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance. Check that all spray arms spin freely.Select the proper cycle for the type of soils. The Auto or PowerBlast®cycle can be used for tougher loads.Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier soiled loads or hard water conditions. Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water. Suds can come from:■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as dish detergent for hand washing dishes, laundry detergent.■ Loading dishes that have been prewashed with handwash dishwashing detergent without rinsing them.■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.■Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
Dishwasher does not drainBe sure the cycle has been completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not, resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START.If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed from the disposer inlet.Check for kinks in the drain hose.Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer.Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
