Before Using Your
Dishwasher
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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground connector
in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
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. The
dishwasher isequipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged intoan appro-
priate outlet that is installedand 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 propedy
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installedby a qualified electrician.
• For a permanently connected dishwasher:.
The dishwasher must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiringsystem, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
dishwasher.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Install where dishwasher is protected from the
elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible
rupture offill valve. Such rupturesare not covered by
the warranty. See "Storing YourDishwasher" in the
"Caring for YourDishwasher" section for winter storage
information.
• Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the
weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.
• Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors
(such as the cap on the drain outlet)before installing.
See InstallationInstructionsfor complete information.

USING YOUR
DISHWASHER
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-
Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when
you close the door. The larger Main Wash section
automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher
during the wash cycle.
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 cycle.
= Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent resultsin better
cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
Filling the dispenser
1. Ifthe dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by
rotatingthe button.
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How
Much Detergent to Use."
3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fillthe Pre-
Wash section.
How Much Detergent toUse
• The amount of detergent to use depends on the
hardnessofyour water and the type of detergent. If you
usetoo little,dishes won't be clean. Ifyou usetoo
much insoft water, glassware will etch.
e
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find
out your water's hardness by asking your localwater
department, water softener company, or county
extension agent.
Youcan order a water hardness test strip. Call the
Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-422-1230 and
ask for Part Number 4171690.
Differentbrands ofdishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosphorous for softeningwater. If you
have hard water and usea detergent with a
phosphorouscontent of lessthan 8.7%, you might
need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a
phosphorouscontent higherthan 8.7%.

concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructionson
the package when using liquid dishwasherdetergent or
concentrated powdered detergent.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
A rinseaid prevents water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. It also improvesdrying by allowing
water to drain off of the dishes duringthe final rinseby
releasinga small amount of the rinse aid intothe rinse
water. Yourdishwasher isdesigned to use a liquid rinse
aid. Do not usea solid or bar-type rinseaid.
Rinse aid setting
The amountof rinseaid releasedintothe finalwash can be
adjusted. The factory setting isat 2. For most water
conditions set the adjuster to 1 or 2. Ifthere are ringsor
calcium (hardwater) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser knob, then turn the adjuster inside
the dispenserto the desired setting.
Dishwasher EfficiencyTips
Hot water dissolves and activate• the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishesand
helps glassesdry spot-free. For bastdishwashing results,
water must be at least 120°F (49°(3)as itenters the
dishwasher. Load• may not wash as well if the water
temperature istoo low.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
for at least I minute.
2. Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer placed in the runningstream of water.
Filling the dispenser
The rinseaid dispenser holds 5.2 oz (153.7 mL) of rinse
aid. Under normal conditions, this will lastfor about three
months. You do not have to wait untilthe dispenser is
empty to refillit. Try to keep itfull, but be careful not to
overfillit.
1. Make surethe dishwasher door isfully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to OPEN and lift itout.
....0_._
3. Add rinseaid untilthe indicator window looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinseaid with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn itto CLOSED.
3. Ifthe water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F
(49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's
thermostatsetting.
• Use a low energy,quick, or shortcycle whenever
possible. These cycles use lesshot water and energy
than the Normal wash cycle.
Use a delay feature (on some models)to run your
dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities
recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain
times ofday.
• Duringthe summer,run your dishwasher at night to
reduce daytime heat buildup.
• Use an air dry, or an energysaving dry option whenever
possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when
using these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
11
• Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash
or rinse portion of the cycle onlywhen needed.
• Run yourdishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle
after meals untilthe dishwasher isfull.

Wash System
The five-level wash system provides excellent cleaning
results.A triple filtration and soilcollector systemfiltersthe
wash water and prevents food particles from redepositing
on the clean dishes.
The wash water continuously flows through the Ultra-
Finefilter, trapping food particles.A small amount of
water remainsunder the filterto keep the pump seal
moist.
Drying System
During drying, you can see steam escaping through the
vent at the upper left corner of the door.This is normal as
the heat driesyour dishes.
__. % I I
• As the Ultra-Fine Filter traps food particles, the
pressure in the pump increases. The sensormonitors
this pressureand automaticallyadjusts the wash cycle
for the best wash performance.
• Two waterjets, located under the spray arm removethe
food particles from the Ultra-Fine filter.
• A coarse strainer prevents bones, pits, and other large
objects from entering the pump system.
NOTE: Periodicallycheck the coarse strainer and remove
anyobjects on the strainer.
How the sensor adjusts the cycle:
Once soil levelis determined, the sensor automatically
adds heat, time, or water as needed for propercleaning.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
Overfill ProtectionFloat
