IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■
■
■
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
■
Do not tamper with controls.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
■
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks
of the dishwasher.
Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in
a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
■
■
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in
or on the dishwasher.
■
■
When loading items to be washed:
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.
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage
the door seal; and
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.
■
■
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after
use.
■
Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels
are properly in place.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
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.
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 ordinances.
■
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.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
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 Use
■
Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed, no items
are blocking the detergent dispenser.
STEP 1
■
Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and
drying results.
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other
hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before
washing.
■
■
Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
10 Place load pattern
■
■
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load
dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight
load items are secured in the racks.
When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down. Mix other items
pointing up and some pointing down.

■
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
1-hr Wash – Use for lightly soiled items. For fast results, 1-hr
Wash will clean the dishes using slightly more water and energy.
How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads
require more detergent.
The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
Rinse Only – (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent.
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.
Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)

You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired.
Repeatedly press the button until the
desired combination of options is
selected.
■
Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
High Temp – (use only with Pots & Pans

option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse to

to the cycle. This high temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and
glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for
Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not
intended for licensed food establishments.
Add Rinse Aid
■
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
Heated Dry – (use only with 1-hr Wash, Pots & Pans and Normal
wash cycles) Use for best drying results. When selected with the
1-hr Wash cycle, the time is increased by approximately
30 minutes.

Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can

Dishwasher Care
Cleaning the Dishwasher
Put 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.
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a
stainless steel cleaner is recommended - Stainless Steel Cleaner
and Polish Part Number 31462.
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.
If you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn't draining
well.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is
an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Storing the Dishwasher
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months,
turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the
winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing
temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second
home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your
dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
