Use & Care Guide for Dishwasher
FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Your dishwasher, illustrated below, cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water, and detergent against the soiled surfaces of your dishes and tableware. 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. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.
Smart Wash System
This dishwasher has a Smart Wash System. It can determine the type of cycle required and automatically adjust the cycle to clean the dishes more efficiently. 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wash Cycle Selections
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 High Temp wash is selected an even higher temperature will be assured to handle heavier soil loads.
Wash Cycles
Heavy Wash
Recommended for pots, pans, casseroles and dinnerware having light to heavily soiled loads.
Normal Wash
Recommended for lightly to heavily soiled loads.
1 Hour Wash
A shorter wash recommended for lightly soiled loads that do not need drying.
China Crystal
Recommended for lightly soiled China and Crystal.
Energy Saver
Recommended for lightly soiled and pre-rinsed dishes and silverware.
Rinse Only
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
Press the Options button to scroll through the options. The indicator light will illuminate when the option has been selected.
Sanitize
When Sanitize is selected, the temperature of water will be maintained at 156.2°F (69°C) max. The max temperature may not be reached if the incoming water temperature is not correct. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
WARNING
The Sanitize option is only available with Heavy Wash and Normal Wash cycles.
High Temp
When High Temp is selected, the temperature of the water will be maintained at 140°F (60°C) max.
Heat Dry
When Heat Dry is selected, the heater will work during the drying process.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash system will remove the remaining food particles. Burned on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time.
Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once it is best to rinse off these food soils. If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
Loading the Upper Basket
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket as shown may vary from your model.
The upper basket has been designed for small plates, mugs, glasses, and plastic items marked “dishwasher safe”, etc. For best results, place the bowls, cups, glasses with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage. Load small plates and bowls 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.
When loading dishes, pull the upper basket out sufficiently so you can load it without striking the counter.
WARNING
Make sure the loaded dishes 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 Lower Basket
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket as shown may vary from your model.
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 dishes 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.
1. Spoons
2. Knives
3. Salad forks
4. Forks
5. Large spoons
6. Large forks
WARNING
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
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.)
Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
1. Make sure there is a full wash cycle yet to be completed so that any added items are thoroughly washed and rinsed.
2. Open door slightly until wash action stops before completely opening.
3. Add the item.
4. Close door firmly to latch and press the START/Cancel button to resume the wash cycle.
WARNING
TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot water may splash out of dishwasher. Failure to do so may result in injury.
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
1. Push the dispenser cover release catch to open the main wash detergent compartment.
NOTE
The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.
2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the detergent compartment.
3. Press down on the top of the cover to secure.
Filling the Rinse Aide Dispenser
Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher.
This dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid only. Using a powdered rinse aid will clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction.
WARNING
• DO NOT add regular detergent to the rinse aid dispenser.
• DO NOT use powdered rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser.
NOTE
Visually check viewing port to determine if rinse aid is low. Fill as needed.
To refill the rinse aid dispenser:
1. Lift up the end tab of rinse aid cover to open.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid rinse aid until full. DO NOT overfill.
NOTE
Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir.
WARNING
Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow during the wash cycle.
3. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly to close.
CARE AND CLEANING
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 Express 60 cycle with the sanitize option. This will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, 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).
1. Turn off the dishwasher.
2. Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the filter insert.
3. Remove the fine filter (flat, rectangular).
4. Remove any dirt or other remains from the filters, and then rinse them under running water.
5. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.
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.
Remove lower spray arm
1. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
2. If cleaning is needed, remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards.
3. Clean the nozzles, and then push the spray arm back into place.
4. Rotate the spray arm to check that it is properly in place.
Cleaning the Door Gasket
If the dishwasher door is not closing properly or if water is leaking from the door during the cycle, check that door gasket is clear of debris. If needed, clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and ensure a tight seal.
