IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Basic Precautions Before Use:
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• The manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this manual.
• When loading items to be washed:
• Load sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal
and tub.
• Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injury.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or the
equivalent. If not marked, check with the manufacturer for their recommendation.
Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.
• If the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal, make sure that the disposal is
completely empty before running the dishwasher.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use, especially if the
sanitize option has been selected.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, or stand on the door or the racks of the 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, turn on all
hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable. Do not smoke
or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and
keep them out of the reach of children.
• Keep young children and infants away from the dishwasher when it is operating.
• Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power cord or plug, and do not plug
the dishwasher into a damaged outlet. Failure to observe these instructions may
result in electrical shock.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher
from service or discarding it.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.

FEATURES
The dishwasher fills with water, covering the filter area at the bottom. Water is then pumped
through the various filter and spray arms, spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent
against the soiled surfaces of your dishes and silverware. Soil particles are separated and go
down the drain as the dirty water is drained and replaced with clean water. The number of
water fills is determined by the cycle selected.
Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Hot water is necessary to
activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor checks the
incoming water temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed to allow for
the water to heat for the main wash of all cycles.
Filter System
Your dishwasher has a multiple filter system which includes four separate filter meshes. It
separates dirty water and clean water into different chambers. The multiple filter system helps
your dishwasher to get better performance with less water and less energy.
Smart Wash System
Your dishwasher has a smart wash system under the normal wash program which selects the
wash cycle based on how large and how soiled the load is, permitting your dishwasher to clean
more efficiently every time. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a
short wash cycle is automatically selected. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in
the unit, a heavy wash cycle is automatically selected.
Adjustable Middle Rack
The middle rack of your dishwasher can be raised or lowered to accommodate loading dishes
of varying heights in either rack. After removing the 3rd rack, the middle rack clearance height
can be adjusted from 8" to 10". The lower rack clearance height can be adjusted from 11" to 13".
See "Loading the Middle Rack" on page 13.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser
Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of a rinse aid 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. Try to keep the dispenser full, but do
not over fill it.
2 Add rinse aid until the liquid touches the indicated fill level. Do not overfill since this can
cause over-sudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 35
to 140 washes, depending on the dial setting.
3 Replace the cap and turn it 1/4 turn clockwise.
1 Turn the rinse aid dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift it out.
17
Heat Dry Function
The heat dry function, when used with a rinse aid, enhances drying performance. If you do not choose
the heat dry function, items in your load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
Water Pressure
For optimum performance, the hot water supply line for your dishwasher must provide water
pressure of at least 20 psi (138 kPa) and not more than 120 psi (828 kPa). You may experience low
water pressure during high-demand periods, such as when laundry or showers are in use while
you are washing the dishes. To eliminate this problem, wait until hot water demand is reduced
before starting the dishwasher.
Important: To make sure that the water entering the dishwasher is hot, run hot water from the
nearest hot water faucet to clear cool water from the pipe before starting the cycle.
Factors Affecting Performance
Using Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid, your
dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. In addition, the heated 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.
If spotting and poor drying is a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the
dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap.
If the rinse aid is low, the rinse aid light turns on at the beginning and end of the cycle indicating
that it is time to refill. Refer to "Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser" on page 17.
Water Temperature
Hot water is required for optimum dish washing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher
should be at least 120° F (49° C) to achieve satisfactory results.
To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher:
1 Turn on the hot water faucet near the dishwasher and let it run for several minutes.
2 Hold a thermometer (a candy or meat thermometer will work) in the water stream to check the
temperature. If the temperature is below 120° F (49° C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.
18
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Panel
Clean the stainless steel door and handle regularly with a soft cloth and standard household
cleaner to remove the debris.
Cleaning the Control Panel
Clean the control panel gently with a soft, lightly dampened cloth.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub
The tub is made of stainless steel. It will not rust or corrode, even if the dishwasher should be
scratched or dented. Clean the spots on the steel inner door and tub with a damp non-abrasive
cloth.
Cleaning the Filters
The filters are designed to collect debris and need to be cleaned monthly to maximize wash
performance.
1 Remove the bottom rack.
Cleaning
CAUTION: TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Allow the heating element to cool before attempting to clean
the interior of your dishwasher.
CAUTION: Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or products containing chlorine to clean
the stainless steel door.

3 Lift the fine filter from the bottom of the tub.
2 Rotate the cylinder filter, then lift it out.
4 Take out the fabric filter.
5 Flush the filters by holding them under running water.
6 Replace the fabric filter, fine filter, and cylinder filter.
7 Replace the bottom rack.
20
Cleaning the Door and Tub Gaskets
Clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles regularly.
The inside of the dishwasher is self-cleaning under normal use. If needed, the tub gasket can be
cleaned with a damp cloth. Use a brush to clean the opening in the end of the gasket.
Cleaning the Air Gap
If there is an air gap installed with your dishwasher, make sure that it is clean so the dishwasher
will drain properly. The air gap is not part of your dishwasher.
Before you clean the air gap, turn off the dishwasher, then remove the plastic air gap cover and
clean with a toothpick.

Protecting Your Dishwasher for Long Periods of Non-Use
Your dishwasher should be protected from freezing if you plan to leave it for extended periods in an
unheated place. Have a qualified person do the following:
To Disconnect Service:
1 Turn off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or
tripping the circuit breaker.
2 Turn off the water supply.
3 Place a pan under the inlet valve, then disconnect the water line from the inlet valve and
drain it into a pan.
4 Disconnect the drain line from the pump and drain the water into a pan.
To Restore Service:
1 Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power.
2 Turn on the water and electrical power supply.
3 Fill the detergent cup and the rinse aid cup and run the dishwasher through a heated-
wash cycle.
4 Check all connections to make sure that they do not leak.
