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.

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 your 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 wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out the reach of children.
  ■ When loading items to be washed:

• Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and

• 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 your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
■ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a 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 to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
■ Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 ordinance.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

DISHWASHER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

User-Maintenance Instructions

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 affreshDishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions.

Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar rins. However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

Place (do not pour) 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

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

If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher not 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.

Cleaning the Filters

It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

Recommended Time Interval to Clean Your Filter
Number of loads per week	If you only scrape before loading*	If you scrape and rinse before loading	If you wash before loading
8–12 Every two	months	Every four months	Once per year
4–7 Every two	months	Once per year	Once per year
1–3 Twice per er	year	Once per year	Once per year

*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes. This will also save you time and effort.

Very Hard Water

If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see the online "Troubleshooting" section.

NOTE: Online references can be found in the Quick Start Guide.

Filter Removal Instructions

1. Turn the upper filter assembly 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out.
2. Separate the upper filter assembly by gently pulling apart.
3. Clean the filters as shown.

6" (152 mm)

NOTE: Leave unit about 6" (152 mm) out from cabinet in order to install anchor brackets and adjust door tension if needed.

Choose Anchor Attachment Method

IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet as one of the final steps. Prepare the dishwasher for this by attaching the 2 brackets found in the parts bag to the dishwasher.

• For countertops that are wood, laminate, or another similar surface, use Countertop Attachment: go to step 36
• For countertops that are marble, granite, or another hard surface, use Side Attachment: go to step 37

NOTE: If the gap between the top of the door and the underside of the countertop is tight (less than 1/4" [6.35 mm]), we suggest using Side Attachment to keep from scratching the User Interface or console with the anchor screws.

Countertop Attachment:

1. Insert bracket

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component or bracket assembly (no text or symbols)

Check Operation

• Read the dishwasher Quick Start Guide that came with your dishwasher.
  ■ Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were skipped. Check that you have all tools used.

If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or unplug dishwasher and refer to the "If Dishwasher Does Not Operate" section.

If Dishwasher Does Not Operate

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

■ Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown?
■ Is the door closed tightly and latched?
■ Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?
■ Is the water turned on?

If none of these possible solutions work, refer to the contact information referenced in your Quick Start Guide.

Additional Tips

Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 2-5 hours per load but use nearly 40% less energy than older models. Designed with a low-wattage, low-energy-consumption motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water sensor, so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past 3.5 hours.

Rinse aid is necessary for good drying results:

This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good drying performance and controlling hard-water-deposit buildup. Energy-efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying performance.

Start/Resume light may flash:

When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the door within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash until you press it again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.)

Front Status Light:

For dishwashers that have a status light on the front of the door, this light will turn ON when a cycle is started and will remain on until the end of the cycle (this includes through the dry portion of the cycle) or the cycle is canceled. This front status light will turn off when the cycle is complete or canceled.
