Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original replace-  
ment parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replace-  
ment parts.  
WARNING  
Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed  
or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual if you are not certain  
the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.  
this appliance must be grounded to a 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. see the Installation Instructions  
included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.

this dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. read and understand all instructions  
before using the dishwasher.

When loading items to be washed:  
-
-
locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.  
load knives and other sharp utensilswith their HanDles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.  
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safeor the equivalent. for plastic items not so marked, check the  
manufacturers recommendations.  
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.  
Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.  
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.  
to reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.  
When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure

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. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or  
longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydro-  
gen gas. As the gas is explosive, 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.  
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.  
Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by  
freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Clean the Exterior Door Panel  
Colored Doors  
use only a soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water.  
Stainless Steel Doors  
use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a liquid spray) made for cleaning stainless steel. for the best results,  
apply the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe the surface.  
Clean the Door Gasket and Door Seal

inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.  
Wash Cycle Information  
NOTE: to save energy, this dishwasher has a “smart Controlthat automatically adjust the cycle based on soil loads and  
incoming water temperature. the “smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust  
intermittently. the cycle times listed in the use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°f incoming water and  
will vary based on your actual conditions.  
See the Cycles Chart to determine the cycles available for your specific model.  
NOTE: on select models, the Half load feature will reduce the water consumption by approximately 30 percent in the power  
scrub plus, regular, and auto Wash cycles. the eCo option may be selected for the power scrub plus, auto, regular and  
Delicate cycles on select models. This reduces energy consumption approximately 10% due to lower main wash and final rinse  
temperatures, but extends cycle length 5-10 minutes to maintain drying performance and the water usage will be unmodified  
in comparison to the normal program cycles.  
THE NSF SYMBOL  
A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified by the NSF International to meet very strict  
requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. these requirements are  
explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certification is available at the  
nsf website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.  
Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are shown in the chart above. When these cycles  
are complete, the “sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate.  
NOTE: if your household water supply is too hot, your dishwashers heating time may be reduced and the “sanitized” light or  
symbol may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher installation Manual has information on the recommended temperature for your  
household hot water supply.

Self Help  
Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems that are unrelated to a malfunction of the dishwasher itself. the following information  
may help you with a dishwasher problem without your having to call a repair person.  
Dishes do not dry  
The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary. Dishware drying can be accelerated and  
enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack.  
Indicator light(s) do not come on  
a fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or  
reset the breaker if necessary.  
Dishwasher does not start  
the dishwasher door may not be properly shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and latched.  
Dishwasher runs a long time  
if the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water. Before starting  
the dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher. run the water until it runs hot, then turn off the water and  
start the dishwasher.  
Machine cycle does not advance to rinse  
NOTE: the installation Manual that came with your dishwasher will help you with the following instructions. the water supply line may  
be shut off. Check the water supply valve and open it if its shut.  
White spots left on dishes  
More rinse agent is needed. Go to the adding Detergent and rinse agent section of this manual for instructions on increasing the  
amount of rinse agent dispensed.  
Water not pumped from dishwasher  
Make certain the drain hose isnt kinked, clogged, or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of the drain hose is at least 20 inches  
above the dishwasher’s enclosure floor (see the Installation Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the filter system isn’t clogged  
(see the Care and Maintenance section of this manual). the kitchen sink drain may be clogged; you may need a plumber rather than a  
serviceman for the dishwasher. if an air gap is installed at sink, it may be clogged.  
Detergent dispenser cover will not shut  
You may not be correctly shutting the detergent dispenser cover, or a cycle was not finished and should be cancelled. Go to the Adding  
Detergent and rinse agent section of this manual for instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser cover. Go to the operating the  
Dishwasher section of this manual for instructions on canceling a cycle.  
Streaks on glassware  
too much rinse agent is being dispensed. Go to the adding Detergent and rinse agent section of this manual for instructions on  
decreasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed.  
Rattling noises  
utensils may not be properly arranged.  
Suds in dishwasher  
You may have used the wrong type of dishwashing detergent. use only automatic dishwasher detergents.  
Unsatisfactory washing results  
incorrect amount of detergent.  
utensils incorrectly arranged or rack overloaded.  
spray arm rotation blocked by utensils.  
spray arm nozzles need cleaning.  
Filters not properly fitted into position.  
unsuitable cycle selected.
