For your safety
- Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this User Manual.
- This Manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use common sense and caution when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.
- NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
- DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. This appliance must be connected to a ground 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 this appliance. Read the Installation Instructions for details.
- This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular house current (120V, 60Hz). Use a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if dishwasher is connected with a food disposer.
- Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place.
- Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.
- Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children.
- If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.
- Do not wash plastic items unless
marked: "Dishwasher Safe" or equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked. Items that are not marked dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.
- When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal or tub.
- Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Use care unloading the dishware when the SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents may be hot to the touch immediately after the end of cycle.
- Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.
Child safety
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
• DO NOT allow children to play in or
on the dishwasher
- DO NOT allow children to abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a dishwasher.
- Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the appliance is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
- Keep dishwasher products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
- To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.
- Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous – even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Contact your State/Provence Energy Office, Local Electric and Water Utilities or Conservation Program Office or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old washer or dryer.
Before you throw away your old appliance:
- Remove doors or door latch.
- Remove the electric power cord
- Secure all hoses and drain pipes to prevent water from leaking out and creating a slip hazard.
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher drains for a few seconds to remove soils dropped while loading, then fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the filter and down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed. The number of water fills varies with the cycle being used.

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.
Multiple filter system
This dishwasher has a multiple Filter System. In the System there are three mesh filters. It can separate soiled water and clean water in different chambers.
The multiple filter system helps to get better performance with less water and less energy.

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with the options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate the detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature. If it is not at the appropriate temperature the timer will delay the cycle to allow automatic water heating during the main wash. When the Hi Temp wash is selected an even higher temperature will be assured to handle heavier soil loads.
Wash cycles
AUTO
Auto Cycle uses sensors in the dish washer to determine the soil level of the dish load, then adjusts the wash cycle to optimize the wash performance, water and energy usage.
HEAVY

NORMAL
Recommended for lightly to heavily soiled loads.
FAST
A shorter wash recommended for lightly soiled loads.
RINSE
Recommended for pre-rinsing dishes or glasses. This is only a rinse that keeps food from drying on your dishes and reduces odor buildup in your dishwasher until you are ready to wash a full load. Do not use detergent.
Wash options
HI TEMP
When Hi Temp is selected, the temperature of the water will be maintained at 140^ F ( 60^ C) max.
SANITIZE

The bottom basket is designed to load plates, soup bowls, plates, saucers and cookware.
- The adjustable basket space will allow you to load items with a maximum height of 11 inches.
- The fold-down tines in the bottom basket make it easy to load 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 down for more space to load large pots or pans.
Load your plates into the dishwasher in two half rows, so that the front of each plate faces the back of the plate in front of it, and the open sides of the plates at the center of the dishwasher face each other.
Large items should be turned so that the inside faces downward. Load large items such as pans and pots into the dishwasher so their open sides face downwards. We recommend loading cups, stemware, and small plates into the upper basket.
Larger items should be placed along the edge so they do not interfere with the spray arm rotation. Check to ensure that they do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

WARNING
Make sure the loaded items do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arm located at the bottom of the upper basket. (Check this by rotating the spray arm by hand.)
Loading the silverware basket
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket as shown may vary from your model.
The silverware basket can be divided into three separate modules that can be used in both upper and lower racks.

Detergent and rinse aid dispenser
The detergent and rinse aid dispenser will automatically release the measured amount of detergent and rinse aid at the appropriate time during the dishwasher cycles.
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture.
The HEAT DRY option will not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.
Check the viewing port over rinse aid dispenser to determine if the rinse aid is low. Fill as needed.

NOTE
Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Under normal conditions, the rinse aid will last approximately one month. It is best to keep it full, but do not over fill.
Filling the detergent dispenser
- Push the dispenser cover release catch to open the main wash detergent compartment.

Cleaning the dishwasher
Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.
Cleaning the exterior
It's best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and avoid letting water come into contact with any of the electrical parts.

NOTE
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for Home Appliances or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.
Cleaning the interior

WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Allow heating element to cool before cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can result in burns.
Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend filling the detergent dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the NORMAL or FAST cycle with the SANITIZE option. This will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher after initial cleaning:
- Run the NORMAL cycle with the dishwasher empty and without detergent until it flushes.
-
Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower basket.
-
Close the dishwasher and let the cycle finish.

WARNING
Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
Cleaning the filter
To clean the filters:
- Turn off the dishwasher.

CAUTION
If the filter insert is not closed properly, its performance will be decreased.
Cleaning the lower spray arm
If your dishwasher does not seem to be cleaning adequately or the spray arm nozzles seem clogged, the lower spray arm can be removed and cleaned. Remove spray arm carefully to avoid damage.
To remove lower spray arm:
-
Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
-
If cleaning is needed, remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards.
-
Clean the nozzles, and then push the spray arm back into place.
-
Rotate the spray arm to check that it is properly in place.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with a hand adjusting a slot (no text or symbols)Winterizing
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be protected from freezing. Have a qualified person do the following.
To disconnect service:
-
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker.
-
Shut off water supply.
-
Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect water line from the inlet valve and drain into pan.
-
Disconnect drain line from pump and drain water into pan.
To Restore Service:
-
Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power supply.
-
Turn on water and electrical power supply
-
Fill detergent cup and run the dishwasher through a HEAVY wash cycle.
-
Check connections to make sure they do not leak.

CAUTION
Freezing temperatures may cause water lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and circulating lines within your dishwasher are protected. Failure to do so could result in property damage.

NOTE
See Installation Instructions for more details.
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 of 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 optimizes performance.
Loud ticking can mean that something is hitting wash arm. Vibrating or rattling sounds can mean dishes are touching each other. See Preparing and Loading Dishes.
Removing spots and film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove buildup, and film, clean using the following instructions:
- Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
- Do not add detergent.
- Select the NORMAL cycle. Press START. Close and latch the door.
- Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes).
- Unlatch an and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
- Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.
Factors affecting performance
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance you may need to wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.
Water temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120^ F ( 49^ C) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
- Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
- Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature.
- If temperature is below 120^ F ( 49^ C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

NOTE
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipes.
Before calling for service, review this list. If 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.
