IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
- Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
- Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
- Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
- When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
2) 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.
- If the dishwasher drains into a food dispenser, ensure dispenser is completely empty before running the dishwasher.
- Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
-
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
-
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the 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.
- Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line, or plug. Do not plug the dishwasher into a damaged outlet.
-
Do not use an extension cord.
-
When disposing an old dishwasher, remove the door from the washing compartment. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
READ AND 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. If the dishwasher is to be connected with a power cord the cord must have 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.
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.

FILTERSYSTEM
Your dishwasher has a multiple filter system. In the system there are three filters, a Coarse filter designed to collect large items such as toothpicks, a Fine filter designed to collect corn, beans etc. and a Micro filter designed to collect very small particles. It then separates soiled water from clean water in different chambers allowing your dishwasher to perform better while using less water and energy.


Filter Location
SENSOR WASH SYSTEM
Your dishwasher has a food soil sensing system. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the dishwasher, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be activated. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be activated. Your dishwasher can determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time.
STARTUPGUIDE
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.
HOW YOUR DISHWASHER CLEANS
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.
The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the multiple filter and spray arms. Separated soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water.
If the Sensor Wash system is activated, the number of water fills may vary with the cycle being used.

DISHWASHER LOADING
LOADING SUGGESTIONS
- Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. To conserve water and energy, and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash system is designed to remove food particles from the water.
It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces. - Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying results, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
- Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.
- Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
- Conserve water and energy, and save the time you would spend hand-rinsing by running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist, if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
- Make sure lightweight items are secured in the racks.
- Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.
- Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
ADJUST UPPER RACK
The Upper Rack height can be easily adjusted to accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack.
IMPORTANT: Remove any dishes before adjusting the rack.
To accommodate taller dishes in the bottom rack:
- Grasp each side and lift up to raise the upper rack.

To accommodate taller dishes in the upper rack:
- Pull up on the adjusting arm on each side to lower the upper rack.

LOADING UPPER RACK
The upper rack is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls and plastic items marked dishwasher safe.

14 Place Setting
IMPORTANT: Make sure the dishes loaded in the upper rack do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm located beneath the upper rack. Check by turning spray arm by hand.

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.
- Place items so open ends face downward for cleaning and draining.
- Load glasses and cups in upper rack only. The lower rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.
-
Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
-
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. Small bowls, pans and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

- China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
- Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.
LOADING LOWER RACK
IMPORTANT: Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not interfere with the middle or lower spray arm turning freely, or block the detergent dispenser from opening.
The lower rack is designed for plates, soup bowls, cookware and bakeware.
The adjustable upper rack allows you to load items up to 13" in height.
The fold-down tines in the bottom rack make it easier to load large items. The tines may be left in the up position for normal use, or folded down for more flexible loading.

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.
- Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the lower rack. Load small items in the lower rack only if they are secured in place.
- Load plates, soup bowls, etc. between tines.
- Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

- Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

- Place heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
- Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.
- Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet opening.
NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.
FOLD-DOWN AND/OR ADJUSTABLE TINES (ON SOME MODELS)
- Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
- Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
- Lay the row of tines down or adjust as needed in the rack to make room for larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.

THREE-PIECE SILVERWARE BASKET
The silverware basket consists of three separate sections. For optimum loading flexibility, the center section of the basket can be used either individually or joined with one or both side sections as desired.
- Lift handle to remove the silverware basket and set the basket on a counter or table top.
- Lift up on each side section to disengage the the center section from the keyhole slots in the side sections.
- Either replace the section(s) in the bottom rack and load the silverware, OR load the silverware while the section(s) are on the countertop and then replace the basket in the bottom rack.

A
Keyhole Slots
B
Prongs
NOTES:
- Load items with handles down, using the separators to prevent silverware from nesting.
- Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc. in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place.
-
Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid water drops from falling on the silverware.
-
When handles are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Be sure that nothing protrudes through bottom of the basket or rack that may block the wash arm.
DISHWASHERUSE
PROPER USE OF DETERGENT
IMPORTANT:
- Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
- Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
- Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
- All wash cycles except RINSE require detergent in the detergent dispenser.
DETERGENT DISPENSER
- If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pressing down on the cover latch. The cover will slide to the right.

A Cover
B Cover Latch
- Add the recommended amount of detergent to the detergent cup.
NOTE: If using dishwasher detergent in the tablet or pac form, place the detergent in the detergent cup, NOT in the tub to avoid premature breakdown of the detergent.


Detergent Cup
- Slide the dispenser cover to the left, and then press down on the ridged arrow to close.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO USE
The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much detergent in soft water, glassware will etch.
Water Hardness
Water hardness varies depending on your 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.
Soil Level of Load
Depending on how much soil is on your dish load, you may need to adjust the amount of detergent.
PROPER USE OF RINSE AID
Your dishwasher is designed to use a LIQUID rinse aid. Using a rinse aid greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse.
Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your Rinse Aid dispenser is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.
RINSE AID DISPENSER
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.
- Turn the rinse aid dispenser cap counterclockwise and pull up to remove.

- Pour rinse aid into the dispenser until the indicator points to MAX.
- You can adjust the amount of the rinse aid released during the rinse. The greater the number indicates a greater amount of rinse aid released.

A
Dispenser Cap
B
Less
C
More
- Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
- Replace the rinse aid cap, and then turn the cap clockwise to close.
If you have doubts about washing a particular item, check with the manufacturer to see if it is dishwasher safe.

DISHWASHER CARE
CLEANING
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 should be 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. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or create suds.
Clean the spots on the steel inner door and tub with a clean, soft damp cloth.
Using a damp cloth, clean around the door gasket regularly to remove food particles.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
The coarse filter needs to be cleaned regularly to maximize wash performance.
- Remove the bottom rack.
- Rotate the coarse filter counterclockwise a quarter turn and lift up to remove.
- Empty filter and rinse it under running water.
- Remove the Fine filter and Micro filter and clean by holding under slow running water.
- Replace filters by reversing the process.
DRAIN AIR GAP
Check the drain 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, the drain air gap protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it.
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:
- Turn off the dishwasher.
- Lift off the metal cover, and then unscrew the plastic cap.
- Clean plastic cap with a toothpick.
STORING
STORING FOR THE SUMMER
Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.
WINTERIZING YOUR DISHWASHER
Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage caused by freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
DISHWASHER NOT OPERATING PROPERLY
| PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION | ||
| Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle | Most cycles pause for 5 minutes near the start of a cycle to let the dishes soak. | This is normal, and reduces the energy required to clean the dishes. |
| The door is not closed tightly and latched. | Close and latch the door. | |

| Did not use enough detergent. | Use a minimum of 1 Tbsp. (15 g) of detergent per load. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent. | |
| Detergent is too old. Detergent must be fresh and dry to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. | ||

| Rinse aid dispenser is empty. | Add rinse aid to the dispenser. | |
| Silica lm or etching | Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware.

| Black or gray marks on dishes | Aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing. Disposable aluminum items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking. | Hand wash aluminum items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner. |
| Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior | Large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher. | Use a stain removal product to remove stains from your dishwasher. Stains will not affect dishwasher performance. |
DISHES DO NOT DRY COMPLETELY
| PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION | ||
| Dishes are not completely dry NOTE: Plastics often need towel drying. | Dishes are not loaded properly to allow water drainage. | Do not overload dishwasher. Place glasses and cups in the rack so that the bottom surface is slanted to allow water to run off. |
| Rinse Aid not used or dispenser is empty. | Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying and keep the dispenser full. | |
| Used an air dry or energy-saving option. | Use a heated drying option for dryer dishes. | |
