How your dishwasher
cleans
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying
a mixture of hot water and detergent
through the spray arms against soiled
surfaces. First, the dishwasher drains for
a few seconds to remove soils dropped
while loading, then fills with water covering
the filter area. Water is then pumped
through the spray arms. Soil particles go
through and across the filter and down
the drain as the water is pumped out. This
series of steps are repeated as needed.
The number of water fills varies with the
cycle being used.
Getting started
To run your dishwasher, follow these basic
steps:
1. Load Dishwasher (see loading
instructions).
2. Add detergent to the dispenser (see
Filling the detergent dispenser).
3. Add Rinse Aid to the dispenser,
if needed (see Using the rinse aid
dispenser).
4. Run hot water faucet nearest
dishwasher until water is hot. Turn
water off.
5. Select desired cycles (see Cycle
selection).
6. Select desired options (see Option
selection).
7. To start, press START pad and close
door immediately.
NOTE
Racks and Features in your dishwasher
model may vary in appearance from
illustrations in this manual.

Features
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 will 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 then
turn the AIR DRY option off and select
one of the heated dry options. In response
the wash and rinse temperatures in the
cycle will be increased.
This will help the cleaning and it will also
get the dishwasher hotter. When the final
drain removes all standing water, the extra
heat stored in the dishware will act to
evaporate the remaining water.
Your unit provides a selection of cycles. In
general, the more water used by a cycle
and the hotter the temperatures it reaches
the more energy that it uses. Several
cycles, such as the NORMAL cycle will
change their response based on soil level,
NOTE
For the first cycle after power is applied
(when first installed or after a power
failure) the sensor will not be calibrated
and so cannot determine the soil load.
Therefore, your unit will provide a
response suitable for heavy soils on the
first run after power is restored. Energy
use during this first run may be higher
than would be typical.
Your unit has DishSense
TM
Technology
that is used to understand how heavily
soiled the dish load is so the cycle can be
automatically adjusted to the appropriate
response. This helps to prevent energy
waste. The sensor is calibrated at the
end of each cycle. This will assure that
whatever is loaded will be cleaned.
DishSense

technology
NOTE
If the dishwasher door is opened while
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL
pad 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.

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.

Cycles
Options
Operation
Cycle times are approximate and vary by
options selected. Hot water is necessary
to activate dishwasher detergent and melt
fatty food soils.
An automatic sensor checks the water
temperature for the main wash of each
cycle. When HI TEMP is selected,
the sensor checks for an even higher
temperature. Run hot water in a faucet
nearest the dishwasher until water is hot
before starting.
The Smart Sensor checks the soil level on
your dishes in the AUTO, NORMAL and
ECO cycles. Cycle time and water usage
will vary based on the amount of soil on
the dishes.
Press the START button to turn ON the
unit. Then, press a cycle pad to select
your cycle. The LED light above the
selection will illuminate when selected. The
estimated cycle time will also appear in the

AUTO
The Smart Sensor technology will
determine the type of cycle required to
clean the dishes and will clean more
efficiently every time. When a partial load
of lightly soiled dishes are placed in the
unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash
will automatically be performed. When
a full load of heavily solid dishes are
placed in the unit, a HEAVY wash cycle
will automatically be performed. Water
usage ranges from approximately 3.0
to 7.4 gallons. Wash time ranges from
approximately 118 to 200 mins.

HI TEMP
When HI TEMP option is selected, the
dishwasher heats water in the main wash
to approximately 140° F (60°C).
This increase in water temperature helps
dishwasher detergent remove food, grease
and soil from dishes more effectively and
aids in drying. HI TEMP option can only
be used with AUTO, HEAVY, NORMAL
and UPPER cycles.
Controls and Settings
SANITIZE
To sanitize your dishes and glassware,
select the SANITIZE option. This option
heats the water temperature in the final
rinse to 157°F (69.4°C) and maintains that
temperature for 7 minutes. SANITIZE
is available in AUTO, HEAVY, and
NORMAL cycles. Only these sanitization
cycles have been designed to meet NSF
requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the
proper water temperature is reached.
Washing action will continue during the
water heating delay. For best results, the
incoming water temperature should be at
least 120°F (49°C).
If the SANITIZE option is selected, the
pad illuminates with a blue light. The
sanitization criteria may not be satisfied
if there is an interruption of the cycle, a
power failure occurs, or if incoming water
temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
The SANITIZE pad will flash at the end
of the cycle if the NSF requirements for
sanitization are not reached.
AIR DRY
If the AIR DRY option is selected, the unit
will not energize the heating element. This
will reduce energy consumption, but will
reduce drying performance. Items in the
dish load may not be dry at the end of the
cycle.
MAX DRY
MAX DRY is available on AUTO, HEAVY,
NORMAL, UPPER and STEMWARE
cycles The cycle time will increase when
MAX DRY option is selected.

To achieve the best results from your dish-
washer, visit www.dishwashingexpert.com
for general tips regarding the performance
and operation of your dishwasher.
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

recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more
detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use
1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly add detergent
to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue
through the cycle.
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 will be dark when
full and the status window will show
“LOW RINSE” when it is time to refill.
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.
The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66
washes, depending on setting.
NOTE
Not selecting the AIR DRY option in
combination with rinse aid will enhance
drying performance. The energy required
to use the AIR DRY option saves
pennies per cycle. You may choose to
select the AIR DRY option; however you
will have items in your dish load that will
not be completely dry at the end of the
cycle.

Care and Cleaning
Cleaning
To replace the fine filter, press down and
rotate clockwise until the arrows are
aligned. A mechanical click will indicate
that the filter is firmly in place.
2. Lift it out and empty the contents.
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.
Clean the cylinder fine filter
The Cylinder Fine Filter is designed to
collect some big items such as broken
glass, bones and pits. The Cylinder Fine
Filter needs to be cleaned to maximize
wash performance.
Remove the Cylinder Fine Filter as shown:
1. Rotate it counterclockwise.
Outside
Occasionally wipe with a mild nonabrasive
detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Care of drain air gap
If a drain air gap was installed for your
built-in dishwasher, check to make sure
it is clean so the dishwasher will drain
properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted
on the counter top and can be inspected
by removing the cover. This is not part of
your dishwasher and is not covered by
warranty.
3. Clean the filter by rinsing under
running water and replace. It may be
necessary to use a sponge or bottle
brush to remove excess food residue.
20
Care and Cleaning
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 the 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 detergent cup and run the
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.

Troubleshooting
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.
Normal operating lights
Your dishwasher pad lights when either
the cycle or option desired is selected. All
cycle and option pads have a white back
light when the pads are deselected and
turn blue when selected. In delay selection
and rinse aid setting, the deselected pads
are turned off.
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.
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).
NOTE
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to
clear cool water from pipes.
NOTE
If the dishwasher door is opened while
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL
pad 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.
5. Unlatch an and open door and pour 2
cups of white vinegar into the bottom
of dishwasher.
6. Press START. Close and latch door
and allow cycle to finish.

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 Dishwasher 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
