4.6 Dishwasher dispenser and
detergents
SmartBoost™ Clean
This dishwasher includes the SmartBoost™
Clean system. SmartBoost™ Clean features
a separate spray arm that directly sprays the
detergent compartment which aids in
dissolving detergent faster. This reduces
detergent residue left on the dishes and in the
dish compartment.

The detergent dispenser has one covered
cup. The covered cup opens automatically to
release detergent.
To add detergent:
1. Press the dispenser cover latch to open
the main wash detergent cup.
2. Add the recommended amount of
detergent to the main wash cup.
3. Slide the main wash cover back over the
main wash cup to close.
1 2 3
• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents may cause
oversudsing.
14 ENGLISH
• When using automatic dishwashing
detergent tabs, place one tab in main
wash cup and close.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location.
Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve
properly.
NOTE
Hard water may cause lime deposit
buildup on the interior of the dishwasher.
For cleaning instructions see "Removing
Spots and Film” section.
CAUTION!
The use of industrial grade detergent can
damage parts of the dishwasher leading
to damage to the unit and surrounding
property. Use only household grade
automatic dishwasher detergent
How much detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on
the water hardness. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Using too little
detergent can result in poor cleaning and
hard water filming or spotting. Using too
much detergent in soft water can cause
etching to some glassware which is surface
damage that appears like a film but cannot be
wiped off. Your local water company, water
softener company or county extension agent
can tell you the water hardness in your area.
Dosage of detergent
Place a single detergent tablet or packet into
the detergent dispenser compartment.
Detergent usage chart
Water Hardness Soft Water
(0-3 grains)
Medium Hard Water
(4-8 grains)
Hard Water
(9-12 grains)
Amount (teaspoons) 4 teaspoons 6 teaspoons 8 teaspoons
Dispenser cup level: first line second line full
Filling the rinse aid dispenser
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces
water spots, filming, and lubricates wash arm
bearing for proper rotation. With it water
“sheets” off dishes rather than forming water
droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent
cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If
spotting and poor drying are problems,
increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed.
The indicator is dark when full.
To add liquid rinse aid:
1. Lift up the rinse aid cover to open.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
rinse aid until the liquid reaches the
indicated fill level. DO NOT overfill.
3. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly to
close.
4. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
NOTE
When using multi-product detergent
tablets or All-In-One packs with a rinse
aid component, the rinse aid dispenser
should be set at the lowest setting (L1).
The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66
washes, depending on setting.

to use the AIR DRY option saves pennies
per cycle. You may choose to select the
AIR DRY option; however, some items in
your dish load may not be completely dry
at the end of the cycle.
How to adjust the rinse aid setting

status window.
1. Press and hold NORMAL + DELAY for 3
seconds until the status window shows
the current rinse aid setting LO-L6.
2. Press the DELAY button to cycle though
to the desired level
3. Press START or wait 5 seconds to
confirm the selected setting. The setting
blinks in the status window, and an
audible beep confirms it is saved.
NOTE
Set the rinse aid dispenser to the lowest
setting (L1) when using multiproduct
detergents that have a rinse aid
component added to the detergent.
5. CARE AND CLEANING
5.1 Cleaning
Outside
Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive
detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Care of drain air gap

16 ENGLISH
click indicates that the filter is firmly in
place.
Clean the coarse filter
Take out the Cylinder Fine Filter and remove
the Coarse Filter from the dishwasher tub
bottom. Flush the Coarse Filter by holding it
under running water and replace.
Winterizing
A dishwasher left in an unheated place
should be protected from freezing. Have a
qualified person do the following:
To Disconnect Service:
1. Turn off electrical power to the
dishwasher at the supply source by
removing fuses or tripping circuit breaker.
2. Shut off water supply.
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve.
Disconnect water line from inlet valve and
drain into pan.
4. Disconnect drain line from pump and
drain water into pan.
To Restore Service:
1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical
power supply.
2. Turn on water and electrical power
supply.
3. Fill both detergent cups and run
dishwasher through a HEAVY WASH
cycle.
4. Check connections to make sure they do
not leak.
CAUTION!
Freezing temperatures may cause water
lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines
to and circulating lines within your
dishwasher are protected. Failure to do
so could result in property damage.
NOTE
See Installation Instructions for more
details on disconnecting and restoring
service to your dishwasher.
NOTE
If the dishwasher door is opened while
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL
button must be pressed and the door
shut immediately to return the unit to the
selected cycle and option. This must
happen within 10 minutes for the unit to
continue the cycle.
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on
the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and
glasses may also get spots and film for a
number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware
Spotted or Cloudy section). To remove
buildup, and film, clean using the following
instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL cycle. Press START.
Close and latch the door.
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the
second water fill (approximately 10
minutes).
5. Open the door, pour 2 cups of white
vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Press START. Close and latch door and
allow cycle to finish.

6. SAVING ENERGY
6.1 Energy use
The yellow energy guide label that came on
your unit tells how much energy it would use
in one year and how it compares to others
that are available. The energy is based on the
NORMAL cycle response to tests that apply
soils and dishware that simulate the average
use. Eight place settings of dishware and
some serving pieces are used during the test.
The total energy is based on running the
average number of cycles per year, applying
typical soil levels to the dishware and half the
time, selecting the option of using extra
energy to more fully dry the dishware. Actual
energy and water use depend upon the cycle
and options you select.
This unit uses an in-line water heating
element that is located under the tub. There
is no exposed heater that plasticware might
come in contact with or that is accessible to
touch. The heat is taken to the dishware
through the heated water. For this reason,
plastic dishware may be placed where it best
fits in either the top or bottom rack.
Temperatures are uniform throughout the
dishwasher.
If the user prefers to save energy and dry the
dishes by hand they select the AIR DRY
option. If you prefer to spend slightly more
energy to get the dishes drier select one of
the heated dry options. In response the wash
and rinse temperatures in the cycle increase.
This aids cleaning and also heats the
dishwasher. When all standing water is
removed in the final drain, the extra heat
stored in the dishware acts to evaporate the
remaining water.
In general, more energy is used when more
water and heat are used in a cycle. Several
cycles, such as the NORMAL cycle, change
based on soil level, options selected, and
ambient conditions. The NORMAL cycle is
good for all around use. Other cycles are
focused toward special use like the HEAVY
cycle that is designed for heavily solid
cookware.
6.2 DishSense™ technology
Your unit has DishSense™ Technology that
works to sense how heavily soiled the dish
load is so the cycle is automatically adjusted
to the appropriate response. This helps to
prevent energy waste. The sensor is
calibrated at the end of each cycle. and
assures a clean load.
NOTE
For the first cycle after power is applied
(when first installed or after a power
failure) the sensor is not calibrated and
cannot determine the soil load.
Therefore, the unit provides a response
suitable for heavily soiled dishes on the
first run after power is restored. Energy
use during this first run may be higher
than would be typical.
7. NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
7.1 Normal operating sounds
Your dishwasher uses energy efficient motors
for the wash and drain portions of the cycle
you select. Each cycle has a series of water
fills and drains for washing and rinsing
dishes. As each cycle begins, you may or
may not hear the drain motor. You may also
hear the splashing of water as it enters the
tub and the spray arms as they rotate and
circulate water. The wash motor often
pulsates throughout the cycle, which varies
water pressure and optimizes performance.
7.2 Normal operating lights
Your dishwasher buttons light up when the
cycle and option are selected. All cycle and
option buttons have an LED that lights white
when selected. Deselected buttons are
turned off when the control lock is active.
18 ENGLISH
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
8.1 Factors affecting performance
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must
provide water pressure between 20 and 120
psi.
Low Water pressure may occur when laundry
or showers are in operation. If you experience
poor wash performance you may need to wait
until water use is reduced before starting
dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give
satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering
dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest
dishwasher for several minutes to clear
cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the
water stream to check the temperature.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C),
have a qualified person raise the hot water
heater thermostat setting.
IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to
clear cool water from pipe.
Power Alert
The dishwasher stops temporarily if a period
of abnormal voltage occurs while the
dishwasher is running.
NOTE
A power abnormality is when the voltage
is either too low or too high to properly
run appliances or electronic devices. A
power outage is when no power is
available to run any electronic devices.
During this time the UI displays 2 dashes and
a POWER message with a lit START LED.
Once the voltage returns to normal, the
dishwasher automatically resumes the wash
cycle if the door has not been opened. If the
door is opened during the abnormal power
condition, press start and close the door
within 4 second for the cycle to resume when
power returns to normal.
The POWER indicator in the status window
turns off once power is returned to normal.
If power becomes abnormal during cycle
selection, the START LED goes out and the
status window displays the POWER message
and 2 dashes.
NOTE
The buttons on the control panel may be
disabled when voltage is too low for the
dishwasher to operate.
Resume the wash after power outage
When power is restored, the control panel
lights up for 3 seconds while the dishwasher
starts up. After startup completes, the wash
settings of where the cycle left off display on
the control panel and status window. The
POWER message displays in the status
window and the START LED blinks to
indicate power was out. The control panel
stays in this state until any button other than
CANCEL is pressed. Pressing CANCEL
cancels the cycle.
To resume a wash cycle after a power
outage, open the door to show where the
ENGLISH 19
wash settings left off. Press START to
resume the wash cycle.
Touch any button except START or CANCEL
to acknowledge a power alert without
resuming a wash.
NOTE
The control panel times out in 4 seconds
if the START button is not pressed after
opening the door. The start button must
be pressed to resume the wash if power
is lost and then restored during a running
cycle.
If a power outage occurs during a wash
delay, the dishwasher restarts upon power
restoration. When the restart is complete,
upon opening the door, the remaining delay
time countdown shows up in the status
window.
If power is lost during cycle selection, once
power is restored, the control panel lights up
for 3 seconds while the dishwasher starts up.
After start-up completes, cycle selections can
then be made if the door is open.

20 ENGLISH
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES/SOLUTIONS
Food soils left on dishes
• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
• Choose the HI TEMP wash option.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading.
• Avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low-should be 20
to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Check incoming water temperature. It should be
about 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Per‐
formance.)
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it
may be necessary to install a water softener. (See
Detergent Chart).
• Use Fresh Detergent.
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms,
preventing them from rotating.
Dishes not dry
• Select heat dry option.
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Increase the discharge setting of rinse aid. (See
Rinse Aid).
• Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is
at least 120°F (49°C).

• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load
them at the far left of the upper rack so they will be
held in a tilted position.
Glassware/ flatware spotted or cloudy
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it
may be necessary to install a water softener. (See
Detergent Chart).
• Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely
low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting
Performance.
• Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Pre‐
paring And Loading he Dishes).
• Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
• Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Check to see that proper amount of detergent is be‐
ing used for cycle selected. Also, check phosphate
level. (See Detergent Dispenser).

20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
ENGLISH 21
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES/SOLUTIONS
Dishware chipped
• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing
and Loading Dishes).
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not over
pins.
• Load items so they are secure and don't jar loose
when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and
out slowly
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top
of tub when rack is pushed in.
Water in bottom of tub
• Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is com‐
plete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of
the tub, the dishwasher may not be draining proper‐
ly. (See Dishwasher does not drain properly).
Dishware stained or discolored
• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains
by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml)
bleach and one quart (1L) of warm water. Rinse
thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown
film. A special filter installed in the water supply line
will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and
Film).
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks
when they rub against other items. Load Properly.
• Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a
long period. Use the RINSE cycle or rinse by hand
if not operating dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silver‐
ware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel
blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.
Cycle takes a long time
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
• Has the DELAY option been selected?
• Has the SANITIZE option been selected?
Normal sounds you will hear
• Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation
and motor sounds.
Dishwasher leaks
• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic
dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a dif‐
ferent brand.
Etching
• Using too much detergent especially in soft or soft‐
ened water causes damage that looks like a film but
cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water
hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).
• Lower the water temperature.
22 ENGLISH
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES/SOLUTIONS
Detergent left in dispenser cup
• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh deter‐
gent.
• Be sure the dish load doesn't block spray from en‐
tering the detergent cup.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dis‐
penser from opening.
Vapor at vent
• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the dry‐
ing part of cycle. This is normal.
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to over‐
flowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See Installa‐
tion Instructions).
Dishwasher won't run or fill (error code E10)
• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse
is blown.
• Check that the water supply is turned on and the
pressure of the water supply is not too low. (Contact
your local water company).
• Check that the water tap is open and is not clogged.
• Check that the cycle is set correctly. (See Operating
Instructions).
• Check that the dishwasher is not set for DELAY.
• Check that the door is closed and latched.
• Check to that the filter in the inlet hose is not clog‐
ged and is free of kinks and bends.
Dishwasher does not drain properly (error code E20)
• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make
sure the disposer is empty.
• Check to see if the knockout plug has been re‐
moved from inside the food waste disposer inlet.
• Check the sink spigot is not clogged.
• Check to see if drain hose is free of kinks and
bends.
• Check to see if the cycle is complete, not in a
pause.
Dishwasher has an odor
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create
an odor. Use the RINSE cycle.
• There will be a "new" smell when first installed. This
is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dish‐
washer Does Not Drain Properly).
Stains on tub interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato
based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance.
This will not affect performance and will gradually
fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using the RINSE cy‐
cle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat
dry option will lessen staining.
