Dishwasher Features  
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against  
soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter  
area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is  
pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Operating Instructions  
Appearance may vary from your model.  
Getting Started  
1. Load dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading  
Dishes).  
Very Important  
Information—Read Before  
OperatingYourDishwasher!  
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser &  
Detergents).  
3. Add rinse aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).  
4. Close door to latch.  
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart). The  
indicator light above the pad will glow when  
selected.  
6. Select desired OPTIONS (See Energy  
Options). The indicator light above the pad will  
glow when selected.  
Normal Operating  
Sounds  
This dishwasher does not sound like most  
dishwashers—IT'S QUIETER.  
7. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until  
water is hot. Turn water off.  
8. To start, press START/CANCEL pad.  
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.  
Note: The dishwasher is programmed to  
remember your last cycle so you do not have to  
reset each time. To start the dishwasher using  
the same cycle and options selected on the  
previous wash, just press the START/CANCEL  
pad.  
The next sound you will hear is the splashing  
water as it enters the tub. Then the spray arms  
rotate and circulate water.  
Wash Cycle Selections  
Note: Cycle times are approximate and will vary  
with options selected. Hot water is necessary to  
activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food  
soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming  
water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the  
timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in  
the main wash of all cycles. This happens even  
when HI-TEMP WASH option has not been  
selected. When HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an  
even higher temperature will be guaranteed to  
handle heavier soil loads.  
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this  
dishwasher to previous models, you may be  
surprised at what you DON'T hear!

Delay Start  
The DELAY START option allows you to  
automatically delay starting your dishwasher from  
1-24 hours.  
Options Selections  
Hi-Temp Wash  
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the  
dishwasher heats water in the main wash to  
approximately 140°F (60°C).  
On models with 1-24 hour delay, press the DELAY  
START pad until the desired delay time shows in  
the STATUS window. A light will come on  
indicating the delay start hours and will remain on  
until cycle starts.  
This increase in water temperature helps  
dishwasher detergent remove food grease and soil  
from dishes more effectively and aids in drying. HI-  
TEMP WASH option can be used with all cycles  
except CHINA CRYSTAL (some models) and  
RINSE and HOLD. HI-TEMP WASH is automati-  
cally provided when POTS & PANS cycle is se-  
lected.  
To cancel the DELAY START option and begin the  
cycle before the delay period is over, press the  
START/CANCEL pad.  
To Cancel a Cycle  
When HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, the light  
above the pad will come on and remain on until end  
of cycle. To turn off the HI-TEMP WASH option,  
press the pad a second time. The light above the  
pad will turn off.  
You can cancel a cycle anytime during the cycle.  
Press START/CANCEL pad and the dishwasher  
will start a 60 second drain. At the end of the drain,  
select the desired cycle.  
Heat Dry  
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid  
will enhance drying performance. The energy  
required to use the HEAT DRY option costs  
pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select  
the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items  
in your dish load that will not be completely dry at  
the end of the cycle.  
You may see water vapor coming from the vent  
during the drying portion of cycle. The drying option  
may be changed at any time during the cycle and  
affects only the drying period.  
Opening the door longer than one minute during  
the dry cycle cancels the selected dry program.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents  
Filling the Detergent Dispenser  
How much Detergent to use  
The detergent dispenser has one covered and one  
uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls  
into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The  
covered cup opens automatically to release  
detergent.  
The amount of detergent to use depends on the  
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in  
grainspergallon. Usingtoolittledetergentcanresult  
in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting.  
Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a  
permanent film called etching. Your local water  
company, water softener company or county  
extension agent can tell you the water hardness in  
your area.  
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing  
detergent. Other detergents will cause  
oversudsing.  
When using automatic dishwashing detergent  
tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and  
close.  
Cover  
Add detergent just before starting cycle.  
Main Wash Cup  
Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist  
or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.  
Cover Latch  
Pre Wash Cup  
The use of industrial grade detergent can  
damage the heating coil and other parts of the  
dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and  
surroundingproperty. Useonlyhouseholdgrade  
automatic dishwasher detergents.  
Note: If the cover is closed on the Main Wash  
Cup, open by pressing the cover latch.

& Detergents (continued)  
Factors Affecting  
Performance  
Rinse Aid  
Water Pressure  
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide  
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.  
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces  
water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off  
dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling  
and leave spots.  
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or  
showers are in operation. Wait until water use is  
reduced before starting dishwasher.  
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup,  
automatically releases a measured amount of  
rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor  
drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse  
aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher  
number. The dial is located under the dispenser  
cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will  
show clear when it is time to refill. On models with  
a STATUS window, LO will appear at the end of  
the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.  
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 stream of  
water to check the temperature.  
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn  
counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until  
liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.  
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a  
qualified person raise the hot water heater  
thermostat setting.  
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.  
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.  
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,  
depending on setting.  
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot  
water to clear cool water from pipe.  
Dispenser Opening  
Indicator  
The HEAT DRY option in combination with  
rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The  
energy required to use the HEAT DRY option  
costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not  
to select the HEAT DRY option; however you  
will have items in your dish load that will not be  
completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Care and Cleaning  
Each part of the assembly should be cleaned often  
to ensure that all food fragments are removed from  
the dishes. To remove food fragments from the  
filter assembly, the filters must be removed from  
the dishwasher. To remove the filters,rotate the  
cup counterclockwise to remove cup and main  
filter. Next, rinse the main filter and fine filter under  
running water.  
Burn Hazard  
Allow heating element to cool  
before cleaning the interior.  
Failure to do so can result in  
burns.  
OutsideOccasionally wipe with a mild  
Cleaning with a brush may also be necessary to  
remove any fragments trapped in the filters. Once  
cleaning has been completed, simply reassemble  
the filter as shown in the drawing above. To  
ensure that the filter is fully seated, please press  
down on the top of the main filter. Using the  
dishwasher without a properly installed filter is  
not recommended as it will reduce the  
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.  
Models with Stainless Steel Door—  
Clean outer door with warm soapy water and a  
dishcloth or sponge. Rinse with clean water and a  
dry cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners.  
Inside—The inside of the dishwasher is self-  
cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean around  
the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.  
cleaning efficiency and may damage dishware.  
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup  
on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning  
instructions see “Removing Spots and Film”  
section.  
Care of Drain Air Gap  
If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in  
dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the  
dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is  
usually mounted on countertop and can be  
inspected by removing the cover. This is not part  
of your dishwasher and is not covered by  
warranty.  
Cleaning the Filter  
For optimum performance, your dishwasher is  
equipped with a filter assembly featuring a main  
filter, cup and fine filter as shown in the drawing  
above. All food fragments are removed from the  
dishwasher as water passes through the filter  
assembly.

Care and Cleaning (continued)  
Property Damage Hazard  
Freezing temperatures may cause water lines  
to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to and  
circulating lines within dishwasher are  
protected.  
Failure to do so could result in property  
damage.  
Winterizing  
Cleaning the Spray Arm  
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be  
protected from freezing. Have a qualified person  
do the following:  
The spray arm may need to be cleaned to insure  
that there are no clogs to the spray arm jets and  
bearings due to hard water chemicals.  
To Disconnect Service:  
1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher at  
the supply source by removing fuses or  
tripping circuit breaker.  
To remove spray arm simply hold the spray arm in  
place and turn the retaining nut clockwise and  
pull up on the spray arm lifting off the shaft.  
To clean the spray arm use warm soapy water  
using a soft brush to clean the jets and bearings.  
2. Shut off water supply.  
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect  
water line from inlet valve and drain into pan.  
To replace the spray arm simply set the spray arm  
on the shaft, take the retaining nut and turn it  
counter clockwise till it has locked into place.  
4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain  
water into pan.  
Note: See Installation Instructions for more  
details.

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems  
(continued)  
Dishware Stained or Discolored  
Dishwasher Leaks  
Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the  
stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2  
cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of  
warm water. Rinse thoroughly.  
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or  
brown film. A special filter installed in the  
water supply line will correct this problem.  
(See Removing Spots and Film.)  
• Use only fresh detergent designed for  
automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent  
carefully. Try a different brand.  
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead  
to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a  
damp cloth.  
• Check to see that dishwasher is level.  
(See Installation Instructions.)  
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black  
marks when they rub against other items.  
Load properly.  
• Certain high acid foods can cause  
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics  
if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the  
Rinse & Hold cycle or rinse by hand if not  
operating dishwasher at once.  
Normal Sounds You Will Hear  
• Normal sounds include water fill, water  
circulation and motor sounds.  
• There is a noticeable change in sound  
when the wash action switches between the  
lower and middle spray arm. This is normal  
since each spray arm has its own sound.  
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in  
silverware basket can cause pitting of the  
stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing  
stainless steel and silver.  
• It is normal for dishwasher to pause (no  
sound) when the wash action is switching  
between the lower and middle spray arms.  
Water in Bottom of Tub  
Etching  
• Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is  
complete is not normal. If water remains in  
the bottom of the tub, dishwasher may not  
be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does  
Not Drain Properly.)  
• Using too much detergent in soft or softened  
water causes this film that cannot be  
removed.  
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the  
water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)  
• Lower the water temperature.

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems  
(continued)  
Dishwasher Does Not Drain  
Removing Spots and Film  
Properly  
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,  
spots and film, clean using the following  
instructions:  
• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer,  
make sure the disposer is empty.  
• Check to see if the knockout plug has been  
removed from inside the food waste  
disposer inlet.  
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.  
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.  
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal  
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or  
silverware.  
Cycle Takes a Long Time  
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?  
2. Do not add detergent.  
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close  
and latch door. Press START/CANCEL  
pad.  
• Has the delay start option been selected?  
Dishwasher Won’t Fill  
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the  
second water fill (approximately 10  
minutes).  
• Iswatersupplyturnedon?  
• Does overfill protector move up and down  
freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)  
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of  
white vinegar into the bottom of  
dishwasher.  
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to  
finish.  
Dishwasher Has an Odor  
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long  
can create an odor. Use Rinse & Hold cycle.  
• There will be a “new” smell when first  
installed. This is normal.  
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water  
softener should be considered.  
• Check to see if unit is draining properly.  
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)  
Stains on Tub Interior  
• Washing large amounts of dishware with  
tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange  
appearance. This will not affect performance  
and will gradually fade over time. Pre-  
rinsing or using the Rinse & Hold cycle will  
reduce the chance of staining. Using no  
heat dry option will lessen staining.
