SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ARE VERY
IMPORTANT
To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the
instructions shown here must be followed. Incorrect operation due to
ignoring of instructions may cause harm or damage, including death.
The level of risk is shown by the following indications.
WARNING
This symbol indicates the possibility of
death or serious injury.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates the possibility of
injury or damage to property.
WARNING
This symbol indicates the possibility of
dangerous voltage constituting a risk of
electrical shock is present that could result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING/GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug if provided with the appliance. If the
plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:
This appliance 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. If this appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug, the plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded 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 appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
●
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
●
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
●
Use only detergents or rinse/wetting agents recommended for use
in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
●
When loading items to be washed:
●
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
door seal.
●
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-
type injuries.
●
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "Dishwasher
Safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer's recommendations.
●
Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential
fire hazard.
●
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
●
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
●
Do not tamper with controls.
●
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher door, or dish racks.
●
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a
dishwasher.
●
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. If the hot-water system has not
been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on
all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
●
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of
unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts.
All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using
only original equipment factory replacement parts.
●
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
●
Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is
operating.

HOW YOUR DISHWASHER CLEANS
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent
through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.
The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then
pumped through the multiple filters and spray arms. Soil particles are
separated from the water and go down the drain as the water is pumped
out and replaced with clean water.
The number of water fills will vary depending on the cycle selected.
BEFORE USING YOUR DISHWASHER
1. Check the filters for debris that may have been introduced from the
packaging or during installation. See the “Clean Filters” section.
2. Add Rinse Aid. See “Rinse Aid.”
USING YOUR NEW DISHWASHER
NOTE: To decrease cycle time and possibly improve performance, turn on
the hot water faucet nearest to the dishwasher until the water runs hot.
Turn off the water.
1. Load dishwasher. See “Dishwasher Loading.”
2. Add detergent. See “Filling the detergent dispenser.”
3. Select desired CYCLE and OPTIONS. See “Cycle and Option Charts.”
4. Close the door firmly to latch.
5. Press START.
6. Upon the completion of the cycle. The screen will display "END".

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 exces-sive
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.

DISHWASHER CARE
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).
