DANGERImmediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death WARNING

WARNINGHazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death. CAUTION

CAUTIONHazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in minor personal injury or product or property damage. Questions on cleaning or usage? Refer to Product Assistance at www.amana.com

To avoid risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury, or death when using your dishwasher, follow these basic precautions:

1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before attempting to service.

4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back must be enclosed and the front panels must be

attached before electrical power is applied to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for proper grounding procedures.

5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or play in, with, or around this dishwasher.

7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with

the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.

8. Be careful not to touch the heating element on the bottom of the tub during or at the completion of a cycle.

9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry

detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products out of reach of children.

10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

11. 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.

12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so

marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

13. Do not tamper with controls.

14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation risk, always remove the door to the washing

compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper disposal of your appliance: Important: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerouseven if they sit "just for a few days". If you are getting rid of your old appliance: Remove dishwasher door completely from unit. Keep shelves or racks in place so that children may not easily climb inside.4 Washing the Dishes

1. Prepare dishes for washing

Scrape off bones or large food particles. Remove excessive quantities of greasy/oily substances. Scrape or soak items with burnt on foods as they require more energy than the rest of the load to clean. Scrape off tomato based food soils. If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher. This allows proper draining. Mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon and other acidic foods can cause rust or discoloration on stainless steel. Rinse these pieces as soon as possible. Starch from foods like potatoes, pasta, rice and oatmeal require more energy to clean than the rest of the load.

This rack is designed to hold glasses, cups, small plates, bowls, cookware, etc. Small plates or bowls should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing the center of the rack. The twin shelf (select models) on the right side of the upper rack folds up or down. Fold it down to hold long- handled knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items like bowls, plates, etc. Place glasses in any row of the upper rack for proper cleaning and rinsing. Do not load glasses over tines. Upper rack can be removed when tall or oversized items need to be loaded into the lower rack.

To ensure best cleaning: Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing the center of the racks. Wedge flat, lightweight items next to the silverware basket or along the sides and back of the racks. Load items so they do not rest over the wash tower located in the center of the lower rack. Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not allowing items to extend beyond the racks. Large items may be placed in any convenient location in this rack. Keep soiled surfaces facing the center of the rack. The back of this rack accommodates a row of dinner plates or two rows of smaller plates. Serving bowls and large pans fit across the front of the rack or on the left side. Folding tines (some models) located on the right side, provide loading flexibility for large-shaped items.5

4. Load Silverware Basket

For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together by placingsome items in the basket with handles up and some with handles down. Load knives, handles up, through the slots in the covered section whenclosed (select models). Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through the basket.This could block the lower wash arm. Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic measuring spoonsshould be placed in the covered section (select models) of the basket forwashing.

5. Check rinse aid dispenser

Regular use of a rinse aid improves drying, reduces spotting and filming,and reduces moisture left on the dishwasher interior.

6. Add dishwashing detergent

Use detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher.Be sure it is fresh and stored in a cool, dry place (not under the sink).

7. Run hot water & check food disposer

Before starting the dishwasher, turn on the hot water faucet and let it rununtil the water is hot. This assures that the initial fill of water is hot.If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer isempty before starting the dishwasher. Washing the Dishes (cont'd)

After loading the dishwasher and adding detergent, close the dishwasher bypressing the door until the latch clicks.

9. Select wash cycle

To start the dishwasher, firmly press the desired cycle and options pads.After a pause, the fill will begin. To prevent unplanned cycle or optionchanges, these selections are 'locked in' after 1 minute. The indicator lightsfor the selected cycle and options will glow. To cancel an option, press thepad again, to cancel a cycle, press the DRAIN/OFF pad. Forget something? For best cleaning, the forgottenitem should be added early in thecycle.1. Press the Delay/Resume pad orunlatch the door.2. Wait for the water circulation to stop.3. Open the door and add the item.4. Close and latch the door.5. If Delay/Resume was pushed, push itagain to restart the dishwasher6. After five seconds, the cycle resumesautomatically at the point ofinterruption. CAUTION

To avoid risk of personal injurywhen opening dishwasher doorduring a cycle, wait a fewseconds to allow cold air toslowly expand inside dishwasher.Dishwasher may be hot.6 Custom Features Sensor Clean Amana recommended cycle choice for all day-to-day soil types. Normal dishloads vary from day to day. Sensor clean is recommended because it selects the number of fills and wash time best suited for the soil level of each load. Depending on the number of fills required water usage ranges from 4 to 10 gallons. If These Features are Different from Yours These features are intended to show the variety that is available in the product line. If your dishwasher does not have all the options that are shown, it is not a mistake. The information provided applies to several of the models in the product line. Drain/Off To drain the dishwasher and then turn it off, press Drain/Off once. Press Drain/Off twice to turn the dishwasher off without draining. Control Lock Option The control touchpads can be locked to prevent unwanted use. If this feature is activated between cycles, the dishwasher cannot be operated until the controls are unlocked. If desired, the controls can be locked after a cycle or delay has started. NOTE: This option does not lock the door, only the dishwasher controls. Setting the control lock: 1.Press the pad for three seconds. 2.An indicator light above the pad will illuminate when the controls are locked. To cancel: 1.Press the pad for three seconds. 2.The indicator light will go off. NOTE: If a cycle or option pad is pressed after the controls have been locked, the indicator light above the Control Lock pad will flash five times. Indicator Lights The CLEAN light illuminates at the end of the cycle and remains lit until the door has been open for 30 seconds continuously. The DRY light illuminates during the entire dry period and goes out when the cycle is completed. The WASH light illuminates during all rinse and wash portions of the cycle. The HEATING PAUSE light illuminates when the cycle is being extended to heat the water. High Temp Rinse High Temp Rinse provides a water temperature check in the main wash and also in the final rinse cycle. If necessary, the heating element will turn on and the cycle will be extended to heat water to the proper temperature. Select High Temp Rinse with any cycle (except Rinse Only) to assure proper hot water temperature and to enhance drying results. High Temp Wash Use High Temp Wash when washing loads with hard-to-remove food soils. High Temp Wash can be selected with any cycle, except Rinse Only. Depending on which cycle is being used, selecting High Temp Wash adds fills, heat and/or wash time to the wash cycle. For baked-on, dried-on soils, select Pots and Pans along with High Temp Wash option. The use of an enzyme detergent is recommended Delay/Resume The Delay/Resume option can be used to automatically start the cycle at a later time, such as during off-peak hours for reduced energy cost or to reduce daytime heat buildup in the home. To set up a delay:

1. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load.

2. Press the Delay/Resume pad until the desired amount of delay time

is selected. The delay time will begin counting down when the pad is released.

3. The Delay/Resume indicator light will remain lit until the delay time has

4. The cycle will automatically start as soon as the delay time expires.

NOTE: If Delay/Resume is chosen without selecting a cycle and/or options, the dishwasher will select the last cycle used. (It will not remember the Rinse Only cycle.)

How Much Detergent to Use Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water filming/spotting and poor drying. Too much detergent can cause permanent etching/cloudiness. Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Other types (laundry, hand soap, etc.,) will cause oversudsing. Be sure to use fresh detergent and store it in a cool, dry place (not under the sink). The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness measured in grains per gallon* (gpg) and the amount of soil on the dishes. Generally detergent amounts should be increased for harder water and heavier soil. Refer to the following chart for detergent usage recommendations. If the water hardness is 13 gpg or harder, it is difficult to achieve good results with any dishwasher. The solution is a mechanical water softener to improve water quality, detergent effectiveness, and to protect the dishwasher parts from the damage that hard water deposits may cause. Water, Detergents and Rinse Aids Rinse Aids Regular use of a rinse aid improves drying, reduces spotting and filming, and reduces moisture left on the dishwasher interior. Your dishwasher features an automatic rinse aid dispenser located near the detergent cups in the door. The clear window in the center of the dispenser cap allows you to see if there is rinse aid in the reservoir. When the window is colored, there is rinse aid in the dispenser. When the window becomes clear, it is time to refill the dispenser. Check the dispenser monthly. To add rinse aid to the dispenser, turn the cap counterclockwise to open. Remove the cap and pour liquid rinse aid into the opening. Replace the cap and turn it clockwise.

• Your local water utility or state university extension service can tell you the degree of water hardness in your area. ** Add recommended amount of detergent to both compartments for Pots and Pans or Normal wash cycles, and to the main cup only for the Light wash cycle. Water Hardness* Soil Residue Detergent amount** (teaspoons) Light Soil 5 Normal Soil 6 Soft (0-4 gpg) Heavy Soil 8 Light Soil 7 Normal Soil 8 Medium (5-9 gpg) Heavy Soil 10 Light Soil 9 Normal Soil 10 Hard (10-12 gpg) Heavy Soil 12 Hot Water For best results, the incoming water temperature should be 120140°F. Check the water temperature by turning on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and letting it run into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising. If it is below 120°F have a qualified person raise the water heater setting. If the outside temperature is unusually low, or if your water travels a long distance from the water heater to the dishwasher, you may want to turn on the hot water faucet at the sink and allow it to run until the water is hot. This assures that the initial fill of water is hot.8 Most tableware, cookware and flatware can safely be washed in your dishwasher. If you have any doubts about an item, check with the manufacturer. Dishwashing Recommendations Removing the Upper Rack The upper rack can be removed when tall or oversized items need to be loaded into the lower rack. NOTE: Avoid resting items over the center wash tower. To remove: Roll the upper rack 1/3 to 1/2 of the way out. Remove the plastic rack stop from the end of each track. To remove each plastic rack stop, push inward (toward the rack) on the ridged area of the rack stop. The rack stop will snap open and can be easily removed by pulling straight out. Take care to support the track while removing rack stops. Roll the rack all the way out of the track and remove from the dishwasher. Reverse the above procedure to replace the upper rack into the dishwasher.

Food waste disposer Check for food obstruction in the drain or disposer. Knock-out plug Be sure the knock-out is removed from disposer inlet. Refer to Installation Instructions. Siphoning Be sure the drain hose is elevated at least 32” so water cannot siphon back into the tub. Dishwasher will not drain Water in tub bottom Kinked drain hose Make sure drain hose is straight. Water supply Be sure the water is turned on. Unlatched door Be sure door is latched securely. Kinked inlet hose Check inlet hose for a kink. Dishwasher won’t fill Clogged water valve Check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary. Low water temperature Check water temperature. Water temperature needs to be at least 120°F (49°C). Run hot water at sink before starting dishwasher. Select High Temp Wash if available. Normal function Water droplets may form on the interior as a part of the drying process. Plastic and Teflon items are difficult to dry because the porous surface tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. Glasses with concave bottoms hold water and require towel drying. No rinse aid Always use a rinse aid. Heated Dry is not selected Select Heated Dry Not enough detergent Increase detergent amount to match the water hardness. See Water, Detergent and Rinse Aids section. Items not properly dried Moisture is present on the interior after the dry cycle Improper loading Load dishwasher properly. See Washing the Dishes. Stains and Films Stain Removal or Prevention Iron deposits (yellow, brown or orange film) RoVer Rust Remover (part no. R0131565) can be used to remove rust. Do not use RoVer along with dishwasher detergent. Fill both cups with RoVer and complete a Normal Wash cycle. Follow with a short wash cycle using a dishwasher detergent. Aluminum marks (gray or black marks) Aluminum utensils or pans can leave marks when they rub against other items. Leave a slight space between items. Discoloration of plastics or dishwasher tub Color from tomato sauces may adhere to the tub. If light staining has occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain away. For removal of heavier stains, try a citric acid containing dishwasher cleaning product such as Glisten (part no. R0131566). Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining. Pitting of stainless steel No treatment. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver utensils. Remove food soils as quickly as possible. From the stainless steel. Prolonged adhesion, especially with an acid based food, can cause discoloration or pitting. Cloudy/Spotted Confirm the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water hardness. Be sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a high quality brand. If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too hot, from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and be sure incoming water temperature is not greater than 140°F (60°C). Use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).Ó 2001 Amana, Iowa 52204 Amana Warranty Amana Appliances Online http://www.amana.com IN NO EVENT SHALL AMANA BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
