It is not necessary to hand-rinse dishes before loading them into the
dishwasher with the following exceptions:
Foods such as mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and
tomato-based products may discolor stainless steel and plastics if
allowed to remain on them for any length of time.
Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading the cookware
into the dishwasher.
It is IMPORTANT for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best
drying results, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless
steel interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not
interfere with the spray arm rotation.
Make sure both the upper and lower spray arms are not blocked and
move freely.

background
The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings
shown.
Place items so that the open ends face downward for cleaning and
draining.
Load glasses and cups in upper rack only. The lower rack is not
designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.
Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over
the tines can lead to breakage, water spots, and poor cleaning.
Small bowls, pans and other utensils can be placed in the top rack.
Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other
during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them
during the cycle.
Make sure the items loaded in the upper rack do not
interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm located beneath
the upper rack. Check for interference by turning spray arm by hand.
background
The lower rack is designed for plates, soup bowls, cookware and
bakeware.
The adjustable upper rack allows you to load items up to 12.6in height in
the lower rack.
Items in the lower rack must be placed so that they do not
interfere with the rotation of the spray arms, block the water inlet, or keep
the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.
background
The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings
shown.
Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the lower rack.
Load small items in the lower rack only if they are secured in place.
Load plates, soup bowls, etc. between tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the
dishwasher tub.
Place heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
background
Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These
metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.
Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.), can
pit or corrode silverware. DO NOT WASH ALUMINUM COOKWARE IN
YOUR DISHWASHER.
The silverware basket consists of three separate sections. For optimum
exibility, the center section of the basket can be used
individually, joined with one or both side sections or removed.
Lift handle to remove the silverware basket and set the basket on a
counter or table top.
Lift up on each side section to disengage the center section from the
keyhole slots in the side sections.
Either replace the section(s) in the bottom rack and load the
silverware, OR load the silverware while the section(s) are on the
countertop and then replace the basket in the bottom rack.
background
Load items with handles down, using the separators to prevent
silverware from nesting.
Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders,
etc. in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold
small items in place.
Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid water
drops from falling on the silverware.
When handles are up, mix items in each section of the basket with
some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach
nested items.
Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down. Be sure that nothing protrudes through bottom of the basket or
rack that may block the wash arm.

Use automatic dish washing detergent only. Other detergents can
produce excessive suds that can ov ow out of the dishwasher and
reduce washing performance.
Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic
dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
background
The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your load, the
type of detergent used and the hardness of your water.
If you use too little detergent, dishes won’t be clean.
If you have soft water and use too much detergent, glassware will etch.
Water hardness varies depending on your water source. For the best
results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a
hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. Test kits are available from
all major appliance parts retail outlets. If your water has a hardness over 8
grains per gallon, you may consider installing a water softener or regularly
use an additive to enhance the performance of your detergent.
Rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or
streaks. A small amount of the rinse aid is released int
water, which allows water to drain from the dishes.
Rinse aid greatly improves drying performance aft e.
Your dishwasher is designed to use a LIQUID rinse aid. Do not use a solid
or bar-type rinse aid.
Under normal conditions, you will need t
approximately once a month. Rinse aid is released through an opening in
the dispenser. You do not need to wait until the dispenser is empty to r

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t draining well.
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air
gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. If a drain
is clogged, a drain air gap prevents water from backing up into the
dishwasher.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near
the dishwasher.
The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of
your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not
cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the
external drain air gap.
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of
your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
Turn off the dishwasher.
Lift off the metal cover, and then unscrew the plastic cap.
Clean the plastic cap with a toothpick.
Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage caused by
freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or
could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher
winterized by authorized service personnel.
Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher.
Turn off the water supply.
Place a pan under the inlet valve, and then disconnect the water line
