DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

KENMORE 14743 - 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

WARNING

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

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

KENMORE 14743 - WARNING - 1
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.

WARNING

KENMORE 14743 - WARNING - 1
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 sheltered from the elements.
Avoid possible rupture of fill valve from freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See the "Vacation or Extended Time Without Use" section.
■ 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 (such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See Installation Instructions for complete information.

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.

KENMORE 14743 - Press START/RESUME every time you add a dish. - 1

Detergent Dosing

It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See "Detergent and Rinse Aid" to determine the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness. Using high quality dishwasher detergent tablets or packs have been proven better than powder, liquid or gel detergents to reduce filming on your dishes.

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy consumption while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.

The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.

■ The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and foreign objects, along with very fine food particles out of the pump.
■ The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto your dishware.

KENMORE 14743 - Detergent Dosing - 1

text_image Upper Filter Assembly Lower Filter

In order to provide improved cleaning performance we suggest a monthly filter maintenance by removing and inspecting both the upper and the lower filter for any soils. Based on your dishwashing habits, cleaning of the filters may be required more or less often than what is indicated in the chart below.

The filters may need to be cleaned when:

■ Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.
■ There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is, soils still present on dishes).
■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

Removing and maintaining the filters is very easy. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

Recommended time interval to clean your filter.

Number of Loads Per WeekIf you wash before loadingIf you scrape and rinse before loadingIf you only scrape before loading*If you do not scrape or rinse before loading
8-12 Onceper year Every four monthsEvery two months Every two weeks
4-7 Onceper year Once per year Every four months Once per month
1-3 Onceper year Once per year Twice per year Every two months

*This is the manufacturer's recommendation: By only scraping your dishes before loading them you save considerable water, energy, personal time and effort.

Very Hard Water

If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Buildup of white residue on dishwasher surfaces indicates hard water. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level. For tips on removing spots and stains, see "Troubleshooting" section.

Filter Removal Instructions

  1. Turn the Upper Filter Assembly 14 turn counterclockwise and lift out.
  2. Grasp the Lower Filter in the circular opening, lift slightly, and pull forward to remove.
  3. Clean the filters as shown below.

To remove Upper Filter Assembly

Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.

Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.

Filter Reinstallation Instructions

  1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the Lower Filter under the Locating Tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher so the round opening for the Upper Filter Assembly lines up with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.
  2. Insert the Upper Filter Assembly into the circular opening in the Lower Filter.
  3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place. Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

text_image Locating tab

To replace Upper Filter Assembly

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the ULTRACLEAN™ filters properly installed. Be sure the Lower Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked into place. If the Upper Filter Assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

360° POWERWASH®

The 360° POWERWASH ^® lower wash arm provides exceptional spray coverage and reaches further into corners.

DISHWASHER EFFICIENCY TIPS

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dish washing results, water should be 120^ F ( 49^ C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low.

Additional efficiency tips:

■ To save water, energy and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utility providers 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 a rinse aid to improve drying.

DETERGENT AND RINSE AID

KENMORE 14743 - DETERGENT AND RINSE AID - 1

text_image Detergent Pre Wash Rinse Aid SLIDE OPEN

NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse cycle. Do not use detergent.

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

Premeasured Detergents

Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in main compartment of the dispenser and slide lid to close.

Push OPEN, as shown, and the lid will slide open.

Using high quality dishwasher detergent tablets or packs has 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. Also, by using a rinse aid you can minimize repeat buildup of white film.

IMPORTANT: Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types.

Rinse Aid
KENMORE 14743 - Premeasured Detergents - 3

text_image Pre Wash SLIDE

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.

Filling the dispenser

The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under most conditions this will last 1 to 3 months.

KENMORE 14743 - Filling the dispenser - 1

  1. To add rinse aid open the rinse dispenser lid by gently pushing in the center of the lid with your thumb and pulling up on the edge.
  2. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the dispenser is full. Do not overfill.
  3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.
  4. Then, close the dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid. NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is completely opened.

Rinse Aid Setting

Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results. If you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting. If you notice foam in your dishwasher, use a lower setting.

  1. Gently pull the tracks forward in dishwasher until they stop. Remove track stops. (See steps 1-3 above)
  2. Place the back wheels on each side of the rack into the track and roll the rack into the tracks, but do not push the rack all the way into the tub.
  3. Insert front rack wheels on each side of the rack into the track.
  4. Slide the rack into the dishwasher.
  5. Replace the track stops by coming up from under the track and slipping the track stop into the lower slot of the track (See Track stop - Right) and rotate the track stop into place. Then press on the edge of the ridged area while pushing the track stop straight toward the track. This action locks the retaining tab back into place.
  6. Test the track stop by pulling it toward the opposite track to ensure that it is locked in place.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the track stops are locked in place and cannot be easily removed. They keep the rack from coming out of the track.

natural_image Line drawing of a hand cleaning a wall with a cloth (no text or symbols)

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. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Cleaning the interior
KENMORE 14743 - Cleaning - 2

natural_image Line drawing of a hand placing a stone on a kitchen counter with a tray and sink (no text or symbols)

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. You may want to 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 detergent and clean with a damp sponge.

OR

See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Cloudy or spotted dishware" in "Troubleshooting" section.

NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.

Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure

To help avoid hard water residue in your dishwasher, use affresh ^®† dishwasher cleaner (recommended) once a month as part of routine maintenance. affresh ^® dishwasher cleaner is effective in all dishwasher brands.

To clean the drain air gap

Drain Air Gap

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air gap when your dishwasher is not draining well.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or counter top near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, please call 1-884-553-6667. Ask for Part Number 300096. You may also purchase the part online: www.searspartsdirect.com.

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.

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.

Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

To reduce the risk of property damage

If 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 damage 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUNNOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME.Be sure the door is closed and latched.Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the back of the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and latched.Be sure you have selected a cycle. See “Cycles and Options Information.”Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped.If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.
DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE DISPENSER OR TABLET IS ON BOTTOM OF TUBCheck for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.Be sure the cycle has completed (green light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:■ To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run for up to 3 hours.■ A water heater setting of 120^ ( 49^ ) is best. The dishwasher will delay longer while heating cooler water.■ Some options will add time to the cycle. See “Cycles and Options Information” section. The Smart Dry option adds 12 hour.Try the Express Wash cycle.Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before selecting and starting the cycle.
DISHWASHER NOT DRYINGNOTE: 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. (See specific loading instructions within this guide.) Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when unloading.■ Unload the bottom rack first.■ Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
WILL NOT FILL Be sure the wateris turned on to the dishwasher.Check that the float is free from obstructions. See “Parts and Features.”Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT DRAINBe sure the cycle has completed (the green light is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.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.
HARD WATER(WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE)NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it difficult to achieve good cleaning. You may bring water samples to Sears to check your water hardness level. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is 15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:Use a cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month. See the “Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure” section.Clean the ULTRACLEANTM filters at least once per month.Always use a rinse aid.Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent.Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.
ODORSNOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load until a full load is ready to run, or use the Top Rack Only option for partial loads.Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. Do not use detergent.The dishwasher may not be draining properly. See “Water remains in the tub/will not drain” in “Troubleshooting.”
NOISY NOTES:■ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.■ 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.Be sure the filters are properly installed.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.
FOOD SOILS REMAIN ON DISHESBe sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance (see “Loading for Best Cleaning and Drying Performance”.Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See “Cleaning Instructions” in “ULTRACLEANTM Filtration System” for details.Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots Pans cycle with the TurboZone®(on some models) option 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 and hard water conditions.Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).
DID NOT SANITIZEIf the Sani Rinse indicator light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final rinse, or your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120°F (49°C).
DAMAGE TO DISHWAREImproper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. See specific loading instructions within this guide.
BLINKING LIGHTSIf Start/Resume or any status lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, close the door and push START/RESUME. If the dishwasher still will not run, call service at 1-844-553-6667.
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED DISHWARE (AND HARD WATER SOLUTION)NOTES:■ Liquid 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. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid.See “Hard Water (White Residue On Dishwasher Interior Or Glassware)” in “Troubleshooting.”If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120^ ( 49^ ).Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options.To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.■ Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack.Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. No detergent is needed.
ETCHING (PERMANENT CLOUDINESS)This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120^ ( 49^ ).
LEAKING WATER Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid overfilling.
TUB IS DISCOLORED NOTES:■High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.■Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.■A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
