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 s 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." The 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 dan 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 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 the dishwasher.
■ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play 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 not programmable, 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).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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. The 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 ordinance.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance — If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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.

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 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 of dishwasher and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time 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 affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions.

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

Place (do not pour) 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-oan energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar 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 dis cleaning and daily care.

If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dis 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 the warranty.
■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

Water Softening System

IMPORTANT: If you have hard water (above 15 grains) and have a whole house water softener, the water softener and heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation. In such instances of hard water, the water so in the dishwasher should be used.

The water softener reduces water hardness thereby reducing calcium buildup on the heater, inside the dishwasher, and o

dishes. Soft water also allows your detergent to operate most IMPORTANT: Run a cycle every time as soon as you completely efficiently. This system regenerates using salt, so it is necessarying the salt reservoir to avoid corrosion.

Water Hardness Setting

Determine your water hardness by obtaining information from water quality report from your water supplier or purchase a hardness test kit at a hardware store.

The water softening system is turned off from the factory (hardness setting "0"). To turn on your water softener, you set the water hardness level in the "SETTING MENU" using a hardness setting value from the following "WATER HARDNESS TABLE". Once the system is turned on, the salt reservoir filled with special dishwasher softener salt and water.

Filling The Salt Reservoir

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (under the lower rack on the left side). Once your water is clean the filters as shown.

(under the lower rack on the left side). Once your water softer system is turned on, you must fill the reservoir with dishwasher softener salt and water. As the salt supply is used up with successive system regenerations, a low-salt indicator will light on the control panel indicating it's time to refill the salt. Once salt refilled, the light will turn off.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (by turning the cap counter-clockwise).

2. Position a funnel (comes along with your dishwasher) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 0.5 kg); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

3. If filling the reservoir for the first time, it is also necessary that the reservoir with water after filling with salt. When refilling the salt, there is no need to add more water.

4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the opening. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that detergent or food can get into the reservoir during the dishwasher use (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

IMPORTANT: Run a cycle every time as soon as you complete, resulting in the salt reservoir to avoid corrosion.

Cleaning the Filters

*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) and you do not have whole house water softener system, be sure to turn on and use the water softener in the dishwasher. Also clean your filter at once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwash 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 Guid

Drain Requirements

A new drain hose is supplied with your dishwasher. If drain hose is not long enough, use a drain hose extension with maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m).
■ Make sure to connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer above drain trap in house plumbing and 20" (508 mm) minimum above the floor. It is recommended that the drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the counter or be connected to an air gap.

IMPORTANT: This product is not equipped with a high loop on side of the dishwasher. The installer is responsible for adding a high loop in the adjacent cabinet. A high loop is required if the dishwasher will drain into a floor drain. This prevents water drain off from the dishwasher during operation. When the drain is connected to a sink drain, counter-top air-gap or disposer, the high loop is generally not required. An check valve internal to drain prevents back-flow into the dishwasher.

■ Make sure to use an air gap if the drain hose is connected where plumbing lower than 20" (508 mm) above subfloor or floor.

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.

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 cos 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 issues to information referenced in your Quick Start Guide.

Additional Tips

Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 25 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 optica 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 dry performance.

Start/Resume light may flash:

When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is closed within 4 seconds. If you do not close the door within 4 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.)

1. Remove the adhesive strips from the T-Gasket and attach it to the top surface of custom access panel. Start along the left or right edge and continue along that edge.
2. Using a paper towel or cloth, press along the front surface of the T-Gasket to ensure it is flushed well.
