ecautions Opera ting Requirements Parts and

oubleshooting 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 rinse/wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.

When loading items to be washed:

Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

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.

Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Do not opera te your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

WARNING/GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug if provided with the appliance. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. For a grounded, cord-connected appliance: This appliance 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. If this appliance 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. For a permanently connected appliance: This appliance 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 appliance.

Do not tamper with controls.

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

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.

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.

Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line or plug, and do not plug the dishwasher into a damaged outlet. Failure to observe these instructions may result in electrical shock.

This manual does not cover every possible condition or situation that may occur.

Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO USE

The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your load, the type of detergent used and the hardness of your water.

If you have soft water and use too much detergent, glassware will etch. Water Hardness Water hardness varies depending on your water source. For the best results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. Test kits are available from all major appliance parts retail outlets. If your water has a hardness over 8 grains per gallon, you may consider installing a water softener or regularly use an additive to enhance the performance of your detergent.

PROPER USE OF RINSE AID

Rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. A small amount of the rinse aid is released into the final rinse water, which allows water to drain from the dishes. Rinse aid greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse. Your dishwasher is designed to use a LIQUID rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.31 Saf ety Precautions Oper ating Requirements arts and Features tart Up Guide ontrols Dish washer Loading Dish washer Use Dish washer Care

Under normal conditions, you will need to fill the rinse aid dispenser approximately once a month. Rinse aid is released through an opening in the dispenser. You do not need to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it. Open the dishwasher door.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to clean outside of your dishwasher. Clean the stainless steel door and handle regularly with a clean, soft cloth to remove debris. IMPORTANT: Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or products containing chlorine to clean the stainless steel door. Control Panel Gently clean the control panel with a clean, soft cloth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

The tub is made of stainless steel designed to resist rust and corrosion if the dishwasher is scratched or dented. 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. Wear rubber gloves.

Check the dr ain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t draining well. Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. If a drain is clogged, a drain air gap prevents water from backing up into the dishwasher. The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher. 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. To Clean the Drain Air Gap: Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. With most types:

urn off the dishwasher.

Lift off the metal c over, and then unscrew the plastic cap.

SSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle There is no power to the dishwasher. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. The door is not closed tightly and latched. Close and latch the door. Most cycles pause for

minut es near the start of a cycle to let the dishes soak. This is normal, and reduces the energy required to clean the dishes. Certain cycles repeatedly pause for 15 to 65 seconds during the main wash. This is normal. The Delay feature is selected. To reset, see “Options” in the Controls section. Dishwasher does not start a cycle Control Lock feature is activated. Door not closed within

sec onds of START button being pressed Deactivate Control Lock. See “Additional Features” in the Controls section. Close door within

sec onds of pressing START. Dishwasher will not fill The water shutoff valve is not turned on. Turn on the water valve. The door is not closed tightly and latched. Close and latch the door. Water pressure is too low. Verify a minimum of

psi w ater pressure is maintained during the filling operation.37 Safety Precautions Operating Requirements Parts and Features Start Up Guide Controls Dishwasher Loading Dishwasher Use Dishwasher Care Troubleshooting

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Dishwasher seems to run too long The water supplied to the dishwasher is not hot enough. The dishwasher runs longer while heating water, and a delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles until the water reaches the proper temperature. Run the water in the adjacent sink until it gets hot before turning on the dishwasher. The Sanitize option is selected. The cycle time increases to heat the water to the correct temperature for sanitizing. The cycle time will vary depending on soil level. When heavy soil is detected, the Normal cycle will automatically increase the cycle time. Dishwasher is connected to the Cold water supply. Verify the dishwasher is connected correctly to the Hot water supply. Water remains in the dishwasher NOTE: A small amount of clean water around the outlet in the bottom of the tub is normal. It keeps the seal lubricated. The cycle is not complete or it is in a pause. The water will drain when the cycle is completed. The drain hose is kinked. Straighten the drain hose. The knockout plug is still in the garbage disposal. Remove the knockout plug. Drain hose is connected to the garbage disposal, and the garbage disposal is not empty. Run the garbage disposal until it is empty. Drain is clogged. Check the air gap. Detergent remains in the dispenser The cycle has not completed. Close the door and press START to complete cycle. The detergent is damp or has clumped. Remove detergent and replace with fresh dry dishwasher detergent. An item was blocking the dispenser. Remove item. Remove detergent and replace with fresh dry dishwasher detergent. The spray arm is blocked.

Dishwasher is not level. Level the Dishwasher. See Installation Instructions. Rinse Aid light is on The Rinse Aid level is low. Add liquid Rinse Aid.

DISHES ARE NOT COMPLETELY CLEAN

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Food residue remains on the dishes Dishwasher is not loaded correctly. See “Dishwasher Loading.” The wrong wash cycle for the dish load was selected. Select the wash cycle based on the most difficult soil in the dishwasher load. If you have some items with heavier soils, use a heavier washing cycle. Water temperature is too low. For best results, the temperature of the incoming water should be a minimum of 120°F (49°C). Used incorrect amount of detergent. Use a minimum of 1 Tbsp. (15 g) detergent per load. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally requires additional detergent.39 Safety Precautions Operating Requirements Parts and Features Start Up Guide Controls Dishwasher Loading Dishwasher Use Dishwasher Care Troubleshooting

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Food residue remains on the dishes (cont.) Detergent is too old. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Detergent is caked in the dispenser. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser and refill with fresh, dry detergent. The pump or spray arm is clogged with labels from bottles and cans. Check pump and spray arm for labels and remove the labels. The pressure of the water coming into the home is too low. Water pressure should be 20 to 80 psi (138 to 552 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low. High suds are slowing the wash arm. Use only detergent recommended for the dishwasher. Do not use soap or laundry detergents.

SPOTS AND STAINS ON DISHES

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Spotting and filming on dishes Rinse Aid dispenser is empty. Add a liquid rinse aid to the dispenser. Hard water. High mineral content in your water Use a rinse aid and keep the dispenser filled to help eliminate spotting and filming. Increase setting on Rinse aid dispenser 1 number per cycle until spotting is eliminated. NOTE: If your water hardness is 13 grains (223 ppm) or above, it is strongly recommended that you install a home water softener. Water temperature is too low. For best results, water should be a minimum 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Did not use enough detergent. Use a minimum of 1 Tbsp. (15 g) of detergent per load.

Le lave-vaisselle ne fonctionne pas ou arrête de fonctionner pendant un cycle Il n’y a pas d’alimentation en électricité. Remplacer le fusible ou réarmer le disjoncteur. La porte n’est pas hermétiquement fermée et verrouillée. Fermer et verrouiller la porte. La majorité des cycles pausent pendant 5 minutes au début du cycle pour laisser tremper la vaisselle. Ceci est normal et réduit l’énergie consommée pour nettoyer la vaisselle. Certains cycles prévoient une pause répétée de 15 à 65 secondes pendant le lavage principal. Ceci est normal. La caractéristique “Delay” [Lavage différé] a été sélectionnée. Pour corriger le réglage, consulter “Options” dans la section de Commandes. Le lave-vaisselle ne démarre pas un cycle La caractéristique “Control Lock” [verrouillage des commandes] est activée.

PROBLÈME CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Le lave- vaisselle semble fonctionner trop longtemps. L’eau pour le lave- vaisselle n’est pas suffisamment chaude. Le lave-vaisselle fonctionne plus longtemps pendant qu’il chauffe l’eau, et un retard survient automatiquement dans certains cycles de lavage et de rinçage jusqu’à ce que l’eau atteigne la bonne température. Faire couler l’eau dans l’évier adjacent jusqu’à ce qu’elle devienne chaude avant de mettre le lave-vaisselle en marche. L’option “Sanitize” [Hygiénique] est sélectionnée. La durée du cycle augmente pour chauffer l’eau à la bonne température pour le nettoyage hygiénique. La durée du cycle varie selon le niveau de salissure. Lorsque le lave-vaisselle détecte un niveau élevé de salissure, le cycle Normal augmente automatiquement la durée du cycle. Le lave-vaisselle est raccordé à l’alimentation en eau froide. S’assurer que le lave- vaisselle est correctement raccordé à l’alimentation en eau chaude. L’eau reste dans le lave-vaisselle REMARQUE : Une petite quantité d’eau propre autour de la conduite de vidange dans le fond de la cuve est normale. Elle lubrifie le joint. Le cycle n’est pas terminé ou est en pause. L’eau se videra lorsque le cycle est terminé. Le tuyau de vidange est plié. Redresser le tuyau.
