CLEANS Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. Middle Spray Arm Top Rack Silverware Basket (Lids may vary in some models) Rinse Aid Dispenser Detergent Dispenser Lower Spray Arm Adjustable Rack Assembly Cabinet Seal Side Kit Bottom Rack Upper Spray Arm Versa Tray Cup Shelf Serial Label Champagne Glass Holder Utility Tray The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used. (in some models) (in some models) (in some models) (Not shown in image)5 Operating Instructions GETTING STARTED NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS Your dishwasher uses energy efficient motors for the wash and drain portions of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a series of water fills and drains for washing and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins, you may or may not hear the drain motor. You may also hear the splashing water as it enters the tub and the spray arms as they rotate and circulate water. The wash motor often pulsates throughout the cycle, which varies water pressure and optimizies performance. To run your dishwasher, follow these basic steps: 1 Load dishwasher. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.) 2 Add detergent. (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents, pages 12-14.) 3 Add rinse aid, if needed. (See Rinse Aid, page 14.) 4 Select desired CYCLE. (See Cycle Selections, pages 6 -7.) The Symbols are illuminated when selected. 5 Select desired OPTIONS. (See Energy Options Selections, page 7.) The light surrounding the pad will glow when selected. 6 To start, press START/CANCEL pad and close door. (See Start/Cancel, page 8.) Press and hold HI-TEMP icon for 5 seconds before first use. EIDW6305 EIDW61056 Operating Instructions

WASH CYCLE SELECTIONS

Cycle times are approximate and vary by options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor checks the water temperature for the main wash of each cycle. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, the sensor checks for an even higher temperature. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot before starting. CYCLE SELECTIONS The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on your dishes in the Auto, Normal and Eco cycles. Cycle time and water usage will vary based on the amount of soil on the dishes. Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature. My Favorite Normal Wash For regularly soiled dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately 4.4 to 9.5 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 91 to 144 mins. Eco Wash For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage ranges from approximately

5.7 to 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from

approximately 78 to 80 mins. Quick Wash For lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Water usage is approximately 6.9 gallons. Wash time is approximately 45 mins. Heavy Wash For pots, pans, casserole dishes and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soils. Water usage is approximately 9.5 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 130 to 149 mins. This cycle allows you to program your preferred cycle and options into one button. To program the Favorite Cycle: press and hold the Favorite key for 3 seconds. As the Favorite key starts to blink; select the cycles and options (Favorite key will remain blinking). Press start to save the Favorite cycles and options that you have chosen. The Favorite key remains solid which indicates the settings are saved. All the settings that were chosen are illuminated. Once programmed, simply press the Favorite key followed by Start/Cancel to have your programmed Favorite Cycle begin. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be performed. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed. Water usage ranges from approximately 5.5 to 10.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 99 to 162 mins. Auto Wash The dishwasher's Smart Sensor technology will determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time.7 Operating Instructions

ENERGY OPTION SELECTIONS

Hi-Temp Wash Sanitize OPERATION SELECTIONS Delay Start The Delay Start option allows you to automatically delay starting your dishwasher from 1 to 24 hours on EIDW6305 and 2-4-6 on EIDW6105 models. Press the DELAY START key until the desired delay time shows in the STATUS window on the EIDW6305. Press the DELAY START key until the desired delay time LED is lit on EIDW6105. Display will indicate the delay start time and will countdown until cycle starts. To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the cycle before the delay period is over, press the START/CANCEL pad. Stemware For lightly soiled China and Crystal. Water usage is approximately 6.8 gallons. Wash time ranges from approximately 85 to 92 mins. Rinse For rinsing dishes that will be washed later. Water usage is approximately 2.8 gallons. Cycle time is approximately 20 minutes. When HI-TEMP option is selected, the dishwasher heats water in the main wash to approximately 140°F (60°C). HI-TEMP ON will be displayed. This increase in water temperature helps dishwasher detergent remove food, grease and soil from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. HI-TEMP option can only be used with AUTO, HEAVY and NORMAL cycles. When HI-TEMP option is selected, the icon will light up and remain on until the door is closed. To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select the SANITIZE option. SANITIZE ON will be displayed when selected, the light surrounding the icon will turn red until the START key is pressed or the door is closed. This option heats the water temperature in the final rinse to 157°F (69.4°C) and maintains that temperature for 7 minutes. SANITIZE is available in Auto, Heavy, and Normal cycles. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet NSF requirements. The cycle time will be extended until the proper water temperature is reached. Washing action will continue during the water heating delay. For best results, the incoming water temperature should be at least 120°F (49°C). If the SANITIZE option is selected, SANITIZED will be displayed at the end of the cycle. The sanitization criteria may not be satisfied if there is an interruption of the cycle, a power failure occurs, or if the incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C). Sanitize will not display at the end of the cycle if the NSF requirements for sanitization are not reached.

Gently scrape away burned-on food with a non-scratch utensil or let dish soak before washing (See Figure 1). Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods containing vegetable oil and/or chemical additives such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice or tomato-based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.

  • Load racks so that large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
  • Check manufacturer's recommendations before washing items in question.
  • If the dishwasher drains into a food disposal, be sure disposal is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
  • Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur if placed in bottom rack unless Stemware Cycle is selected.
  • Load items with open ends facing down for better cleaning and draining.
  • Damage may occur if delicate items touch each other during dishwasher operation.
  • Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in the top rack's versa tray.
  • Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the rack to block rotation of middle spray arm.

LOADING THE TOP RACK

The top rack is designed for flexibility in loading a wide variety of items including cups, glasses, stemware, small plates, bowls, etc. 10 place settings standard loading pattern 14 place settings standard loading pattern Figure 110 NOTE Features in your dishwasher’s model may vary in appearance from illustrations in this manual. Preparing & Loading Dishes

LOADING THE BOTTOM RACK

  • Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not block the middle spray arm rotation.
  • For best results, place bowls, casserole dishes,and sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.
  • Make sure tall items do not block middle spray arm rotation.
  • Be sure pan handles do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block the lower spray arm rotation. Fold-down Tines The fold-down tines in the lower rack and upper rack make easy loading for those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading. Fold tines down for ease in loading large pots or pans.

ADJUSTING RACK HEIGHT

To accommodate taller dishes in the bottom rack, there are 3 positions available: The top rack height can be easily adjusted to accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack. Height should be adjusted without dishes in the racks. 10 place settings standard loading pattern 14 place settings standard loading pattern To raise the rack to the middle or upper position, simply lift the rack. The lever is spring loaded to engage the middle or upper position. To lower the rack to the middle or lower position, push the lever with your thumbs and pushing downward simultaneously. Releasing the lever will all the middle position to be engaged. To ensure ease of adjustment when adjusting the rack, ensure that the rack remains level from front to back with both sides at the same height. Our adjusted rack space allows you to put items up to 15” in the bottom rack. The bottom rack is designed for plates, saucers, bowls, and cookware.11 Preparing & Loading Dishes

LOADING THE SILVERWARE

BASKET TO AVOID CUT INJURY: Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Failure to do so may result in injury. Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottomrack or take the basket out for loading on a counteror table.• Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold small items in place.• Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the lower spray arm.• Do not mix silver and stainless items to avoid damaging the silver finish.When covers are up, mix non-sharp items in eachsection of the basket with some pointing up andsome down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannotreach nested items.

To add or remove items after wash cycle starts: 1 Open door slightly and wait a few secondsuntil wash action stops before completelyopening.2 Add the item.3 Close door firmly to latch and cycle willautomatically resume. TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot water may splash out of dishwasher. Failure to do so may result in injury. VersaTray The versa tray can be used in the upper rack tohold spatulas, large spoons and other largeutensils.12 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

FILLING THE DETERGENT

DISPENSER The detergent dispenser has one main wash and one pre-wash cup. The covered cups open automatically to release detergent.

  • Use only automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents will cause oversudsing.
  • When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close.
  • Add detergent just before starting cycle.
  • Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO

USE The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). “Hard water” contains large amounts of harsh minerals in granulated form, above 10-11 grains per gallon (gpg), which can affect water quality. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called “etching.” (See Etching, page 19.) Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area. The use of industrial grade detergent can damage parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.13

DETERGENT USAGE GUIDE

Refer to the following table for recommended detergent usage. As shown in the last column of this table, a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance when using very hard water. Other suggestions:

  • Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle.
  • As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub.
  • Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle. Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents Cycle Soft Water (0-3 Grains) Medium Hard Water(4-8 Grains) Hard Water (9-12 Grains) Very Hard Water* (Over 12 Grains) Heavy, Auto

Normal 2 Teaspoons (Main Wash Cup – ¼ Full) 5 Teaspoons (Main Wash Cup – fill to line above “Regular”) 8 Teaspoons (Main Wash Cup Completely Full) Each Cup – Completely Full (Water Softener Recommended) Quick, Eco, Delicate, Stemware 2 Teaspoons (Main Wash Cup – ¼ Full) 5 Teaspoons (Main Wash Cup – fill to line above “Regular”) 8 Teaspoons(Main Wash Cupcompletely full) Main Wash Cup – Completely Full (Water Softener Recommended) Rinse No Detergent No DetergentNo Detergent No Detergent (Water Softener Recommended)14 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents RINSE AID Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. It causes the water to “sheet” off of dishes rather than form water droplets that cling and leave spots. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. If the rinse aid is low, LOW RINSE displays at the beginning and end of the cycle on the EIDW6305 model. If the rinse aid is low, the LOW RINSE LED is illuminated at the beginning and end of the cycle on the EIDW6105 model indicating that it is time to refill. To add liquid rinse aid: 1 Turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. 2 Pour in rinse aid until liquid reaches the flat surface marked MAX in the Rinse Aid dispenser. Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. 3 Replace cap. 4 Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting.15 Factors Affecting Performance WATER PRESSURE The hot water line to the dishwasher must providewater pressure between 20 and 90 pounds persquare inch (psi).Low water pressure may occur when laundry orshowers are in operation. Wait until water use isreduced before starting dishwasher. WATER TEMPERATURE Hot water is needed for best dishwashing anddrying results. Water entering the dishwashershould be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactoryresults. To check water temperature entering the dishwasher: 1 Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasherfor several minutes to clear cool water frompipes.2 Hold a candy or meat thermometer in streamof water to check the temperature.3 If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have aqualified person raise the water heaterthermostat setting. IMPORTANT Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe.16 Care & Cleaning OUTSIDE Occasionally wipe the outside surfaces of yourdishwasher with a mild nonabrasive detergent andwater. Rinse and dry. Stainless Steel Door Clean the stainless steel door and handle with hot,soapy water and a dishcloth. Rinse with cleanwater and a cloth. Do not use harsh scrubbingcleaners. Use only kitchen cleaners madeespecially for cleaning stainless steel. IMPORTANT Read before operating your dishwasher!

Periodically, the Glass Trap Filter andLarge Food Particle Trap may need to be cleaned tomaximize wash performance.The Glass Trap Filter is located in the center of theLarge Food Particle Trap. The Glass Trap Filter isdesigned to collect pieces of broken glass, straws,bones and pits. To remove items in the Glass TrapFilter, grasp the handle, lift out, empty and replace.Glass Trap Filter INSIDE Remove spots on the door and tub with a damp,nonabrasive cloth.17 Care & Cleaning Care of Drain Air Gap If a drain air gap was installed for your built-indishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so thedishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap isusually mounted on the sink at the countertop andcan be inspected by removing the cover. This is notpart of your dishwasher and is not covered bywarranty. Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within dishwasher are protected. Failure to do so could result in property damage. WINTERIZING A dishwasher left in an unheated place should beprotected from freezing. Have a qualified person dothe following: To Disconnect Service: 1 Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher atthe supply source by removing fuses ortripping circuit breaker.2 Shut off water supply.3 Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnectwater line from inlet valve and drain into pan.4 Disconnect drain line and drain water into pan.

See Installation Instructions for more details. NOTE18 Solutions to Common Problems IMPORTANT Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or material in your dishwasher.

  • Check incoming water temperature. (See Getting Started, page 5.) It should be at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance, page 15.)
  • Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
  • Check rack loading section for proper loading—avoid nesting items.
  • Home water pressure may be too low— should be 20 to 90 pounds per square inch (psi).
  • Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page 13.)
  • Use fresh detergent.
  • Make sure items are not blocking any of the spray arms, preventing them from rotating.
  • Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
  • Increase the amount of rinse aid (See Rinse Aid, page 14).
  • Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120°F (49°C).
  • Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items.
  • Plastic items may need to be towel dried. More water collects on plastic items when cycle is complete because they do not get as hot as glass or metal items.
  • Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. DISHWARE CHIPPED
  • Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.)
  • Place delicate items in top rack.
  • Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
  • Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
  • Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when rack is pushed in.
  • It is recommeded to wash fine antique china and crystal by hand.
  • Hold down HI-TEMP ICON for 5 seconds to reset unit to Normal Operating Mode.
  • Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page 13.)
  • Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance, page 15.)
  • Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.)
  • Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
  • Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
  • Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being used for cycle selected. (See Detergent Dispenser, pages 12-14.)
  • Home water pressure may be too low—it should be 20 to 90 pounds per square inch (psi).
  • Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A water filter installed in-line with your water supply will correct this problem.
  • Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items. Load properly.
  • Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
  • Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting on the stainless steel utensils. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver. Solutions to Common Problems ETCHING
  • Using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that cannot be removed.
  • Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Usage Guide, page 13.)
  • Lower the water temperature.
  • Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
  • Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
  • Check to see if cycle has been completed.
  • Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
  • Make sure the upper rack is firmly engaged to the nozzle on the back of the tub before closing the door.20 Solutions to Common Problems DISHWASHER LEAKS
  • Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.
  • Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
  • Check to see that dishwasher is level (See Installation Instructions).
  • Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor sounds.
  • Pump pulsing will cause motor speed to increase and decrease at regular intervals during cycles.
  • It is not normal for water to remain in the bottom of the tub at the end of a cycle. If water remains in the bottom of the tub at the end of a cycle, the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly, page 21.) The filter may also need to be cleaned. (See Care of Filter, page 16.) Note: It is normal to see a small amount of water under the filter at the end of a cycle.

DISHWASHER WON’T RUN

  • Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.
  • Make sure water supply is turned on.
  • Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions, pages 5-8.)
  • Check to see if the Delay Start option has been selected.
  • Make sure door is closed and latched.
