• Prerinse is not required. Simply scrape off any bones or large food
particles.
• If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the disposer is
empty before starting the dishwasher.
• Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 21 ).
Remove certain foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice,
vinegar, salt or dressings from stainless steel flatware as soon as
possible. These foods may cause rusting and pitting if allowed to remain in

Glasses, cups, stemware, light-weight plastics, plates, bowls, pans, long-
handled utensils etc. can be loaded in this rack. Do not load glasses
over the tines.
The Cup Shelf on the right side of the upper rack folds up or down for
loading flexibility. Fold it down to hold long-handled knives, spatulas and
spoons or short items like cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items
like glasses, bowls, plates, etc.
The edge of the Cup Shelf is designed to hold stemware in place. Taller
stemware will fit better on the right side as the upper rack is deeper on
this side.
The Folding Tines located in the front right corner provide convenient
loading space for large, bulky items like pots and pans or mixing bowls.
To lower tines, carefully push the tines out of each holder toward the
center of the rack and lay the tines down.
The Cup Clips located in the center of the upper rack can be used to hold
light-weight plastic items, cooking utensils, knives, etc. in place. Clip the
item between the tine and the clip.

REMOVINGTHE UPPER RACK
[] i I I i I ! m s i I n l i n n • • n • i
The rack can be removed when tall or oversized items need to be loaded into the
lower rack. Unload the rack before removing it from the dishwasher.
To remove rack with tab-lock rack stops:
1. Roll the rack 1/3 to 1/2 of the way out.
2. Locate the rack stops at the end of each track. Squeeze the tab in the
middle of the rack stop and pull the rack stop straight out. Take care to
support the rack while removing the rack stops.
3. Roll the rack all the way out of the track and remove from the
dishwasher.
To replace:
1. Replace the dishwasher rack by guiding the wheels into the tracks.
2. Push each rack stop squarely into the end of the track until the catch pops
into the small hole on the side of the track.
Dishwasher Use
HOT WATER
i • i I i i I I i I • I | | | I • • I •
For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The
incoming water temperature should be at least 120 ° F (49 ° C) to properly
activate the detergent and melt greasy food soils.
To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the hot water faucet nearest
the dishwasher and let it run into a glass in the sink. Place a candy or meat
thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising.
If temperature is below 120 ° F (49 ° C), have a qualified person raise the water
heater thermostat setting.
DETERGENT
• • • I • i ! ! ;! i If | | • • | • • I • • •
Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Be sure
it is fresh. Store granular detergent in a cool, dry place (not under the sink) out of
reach of children.
Recommended Amount
Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water filming/spotting and poor
drying. Too much detergent can cause permanent etching/cloudiness.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent carefully and
use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in
soft water. Try another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.

Medium(5-9gpg) LightSoil 4 tsp 6 tsp
NormalSoil 4 tsp 6 tsp
HeavySoil 5 tsp 7 tsp
Hard (10-12gpg) AllLevels 5 tsp 8 tsp
The amount of detergent to use is determined by the hardness of the water
and soil level of the load. Refer to the following chart for detergent usage
recommendations.
*Your local water utility or state university extension service can tell you the degree of
water hardness in your area.
In extremely hard water conditions (13 grains per gallon or more*), it is
difficult to achieve good results with any dishwasher. A mechanical water
softener may be necessary to improve water quality, detergent effectiveness,
and protect the dishwasher parts from the damage that hard water can cause.
Dishwasher Use
Add recommended amount of detergent to each cup as shown and close
the detergent lid.
Do not use detergent with the Rinse cycle. Leave the detergent lid open
when running Rinse.
RINSE AiD
[] | m [] I | II m | | | ;| | _• | • • ;• • •
Regular use of a rinse aid improves drying, reduces spotting and filming,
and reduces moisture left on the dishwasher interior.
An automatic rinse aid dispenser is located next to the detergent cup.
The window next to the dispenser cap indicates when the rinse aid reservoir
needs to be refilled. When the level of rinse aid is below the indicator marks and
the window is nearly clear, it is time to refill the dispenser. Check the dispenser
monthly.
To add rinse aid to the dispenser, turn the cap counterclockwise to open.
Remove the cap and pour liquid rinse aid into the opening. The amount of
rinse aid dispensed during the cycle is adjustable by moving the lever inside the
reservoir area. For most water conditions use the manufacturer recommended
setting of "3". Adjust it up to the "MAX" setting for hard water. Set the lever
anywhere between these amounts as needed to get the best results. Replace
the cap and turn it clockwise to close.

Care & Cleaning
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
l I i i i i i i i i it m i m | | in • i • • •
• The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning. Periodically check the
bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if any large particles remain.
• Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil splashes which
occurred during loading.
• When cleaning stainless steel, always wipe with the grain. Never use
products containing chlorine bleach or citric acid.
• The color from some tomato-based food soils may occasionally adhere
to various components of the dishwasher interior, causing temporary
discoloration.
To minimize this:
• Remove excess tomato-based food soils from dishes, before loading.
• Run the Heavy cycle when washing loads containing tomato-based food
soils.
• Use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.
OUTSIDE
l I i i i i i i i i it m m m | | _1 • I • • •
Occasionally wipe the outside surfaces of your dishwasher with a mild nonabrasive
detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Stainless Steel Door
Clean the stainless steel door and handle with hot, soapy water and a dishcloth.
Rinse with clean water and a cloth. Do not use harsh scrubbing cleaners. Use
only kitchen cleaners made especially for cleaning stainless steel.
Care & Cleaning
STORAGE/MOVING
[] ! | I ! | I I | | I I I I I I • • I • • •
Fill detergent cup with a fresh-scented dishwasher detergent or baking soda and
select the Normal cycle. Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the
water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, press the START/Cancel pad
once to activate the dishwasher. Press START/Cancel again to activate the drain.
Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is removed. Last, disconnect
the electrical supply and prop open the door.
When turning the water supply to the home off, the water shut-off at the
dishwasher must be turned off also.
