DISHWASHER LOADING TIPS
NOTE: Features are model specific. Your dishwasher may not have all features described.
Silverware Baskets
Use silverware basket lids to provide optimal spacing and best cleaning performance.
NOTE: If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, open the lids (Style 1) or lift on the ends of the lids and pull to remove (Style 2). Mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons for best cleaning results.
Removing Upper Racks
In order to make space for tall items, your upper racks are removable. The manner in which to remove will depend on whether the rack is mounted with Style 1 or Style 2. Remove dishes prior to removing any racks.
To remove the rack, pull the rack forward about halfway out of the tub. On one side, press the tab on the track in and pull up the front end of the rack, out of the track. Then repeat this step on the other side to completely remove the front end of the rack. Then remove the rack by pulling the back end out using a forward and upward motion.
To replace the rack, Push back of rack into rail first and then push front down.
To remove the rack, pull the rack out until it stops. On the left and right side of the rack, push the plastic track stops on the front of the rail sideways to open them. Pull out the rack. To replace the rack, push the rack back onto the rails. Push the track stops closed.
Sliding Bowl Tines
The sliding bowl tines allow you to easily load bowls of multiple sizes. Grab the moveable tine row in the lower rack and slide into the desired position.
Fold Down Tines
Fold down tines allow you to optimize the spacing in the rack. Fold down tines might be in the lower rack , the second level rack and/or third level rack depending on your model. To fold or unfold the tine, hold the tine nearest the clip at the end of the tine row and gently push it past the stop on the clip and in the direction you want to fold it.
Stemware Holder
Use the stemware holders to support wine glasses and other stemware. Push them up to rotate them out of the way when not needed.
Cup Shelf
Use the cup shelf to hold additional cups or small items. Push up to fold out of the way when not needed.
DISHWASHER CARE
Interior Cleaning
Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions.
NOTE: We recommend the use of high-quality, premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.
Countertop Air Gap
If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn't draining well.
Extended Time Without Use
To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or Extended Time Without Use
■ When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.
■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home.
■ Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher. Abrasive cleaning products can damage the finish.

KEY USAGE TIPS
Filtration system and maintenance
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning. The filter system consists of two parts, an upper filter assembly and lower filter.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without filters properly installed. Be sure lower filter is securely in place and upper filter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
■ Visible objects or soils are on upper filter assembly.
■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch. See the “Filtration System” section in the full online User Instructions for complete removal and maintenance schedule.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters. Rinse filter under running water until soils are removed. If you have hard to remove soils or calcium deposits because of hard water, a soft brush may be required.
Drying – Rinse aid is essential
You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance. Rinse aid along with the Heat Dry, Extended Heat Dry option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in dishwasher interior.
Heat Dry
Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is gained by extending cycle time and reducing the amount of wattage and water used during your dishwasher’s cycle. For exceptional cleaning, cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Your first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical water sensor.
Premium Top Rack Adjuster
You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall items in either the top or bottom rack. Adjusters are located on each side of the top rack.
To raise the rack:
Press both rack adjuster thumb levers and lift the rack until it is in the up position and level.
To lower the rack:
Press both rack adjuster thumb levers and slide the rack to its down position and level.
NOTE: The top rack must be level.
Touch START/RESUME every time you add a dish
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish, even during the Delay option), Start/Resume must be touched each time to resume the cycle. Push the door firmly closed within 4 seconds of touching Start/Resume. If the door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start keypad light will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
OPERATING YOUR DISHWASHER
1.Prepare and load the dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
■ Make sure when the dishwasher door is closed no items are blocking detergent dispenser.
■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest dish surface downward, allowing space for water to flow up through rack and between dishes.
■ Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates that may trap food.
■ Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in upper rack.
■ Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in racks.
■ Use the slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.
■ If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them and mix silverware types to keep them separated.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as shown.
2.Check that all arms spin freely
Items in the rack can block the spray arms.
3.Add detergent
Premeasured Detergents
High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance. Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. They are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in main compartment and close lid.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the complete User Instructions for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.
To close lid
Place selected detergent in the dispenser. Place finger, as shown, and slide lid closed. Press firmly until it clicks.
To open lid
Push OPEN, as shown, and the lid will slide open.
4.Add rinse aid
■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heating and drying options will not perform as well without rinse aid.
■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of dishes after final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware, and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.
■ To add rinse aid, open the dispenser lid by gently pushing in the center of the lid with your thumb while lifting up on the edge.
■ Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level shows that it is full.
■ Close dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results.
If you are experiencing poor drying performance, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster to the next higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid.
5.Select a cycle
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 21 /2 hours but can take less or more time to complete depending on selections. Push door firmly closed and touch START to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle, or select another cycle appropriate for your load. See the Cycle Guide.
6.Select options
You can customize your cycles by selecting the options desired. See the Cycle Guide. If you change your mind, touch the option keypad again to turn off the option. Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash. Adding options may increase the cycle time.
7.Start or resume a cycle
NOTE: If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until water is hot. Turn off water. With door firmly closed, touch START.
IMPORTANT: If the door is opened for more than a few seconds after the cycle is started (even during the Delay time), the Start keypad must be touched again after the door is closed. If Start keypad is not touched, the Start keypad light with flash, and audible tone will be heard, and cycle will not resume.
8.Follow the progress of your dishwasher
The display will indicate cycle progress such as Washing, Drying, Clean, and Sanitized. The cycle has completed when the Clean light is lit. Refer to the Control chart in the Cycle Guide section for operation of the Sanitized indicator.
CYCLE GUIDE
IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.
CYCLES ESTIMATED WASH TIME* W/O OPTIONS (HR:MIN). WATER USAGE GALLONS (LITERS)
*The government energy certifications are not based on this cycle. See the Normal cycle description for the government energy certification cycle. Using the ProWash™ cycle may increase your energy usage.
**No other washing and drying temperature options were selected, and the dishwasher was not subjected to truncated testing. Rinse aid was not used, and there was no detergent used in the prewash.
OPTIONS CAN BE SELECTED WITH WHAT IT DOES ADDED TIME TO CYCLE (HR:MIN) ADDED WATER GALLONS (LITERS)
TROUBLESHOOTING
The Clean light is flashing
Check the following:
■ Was the cycle interrupted? Touch START/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds.
■ Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.
■ Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. (This is very important following the new installation of your dishwasher.)
■ Check for suds in the dishwasher. For more information on suds, see the “Dishwasher does not clean completely” section.
Dishes do not dry completely
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. Use of rinse aid along with the Heat Dry option is needed for proper drying. Proper loading of items can affect drying.
■ For improved results, place items on the more slanted side of the rack. Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when you are unloading the dishwasher.
■ Unload the bottom rack first.
Spotting/Filming
NOTES:
■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
■ Use the correct amount of detergent. If using powder or liquid/gel products, use package instructions. Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See the “Dishwasher Care” section. If it does not come clear, it is due to etching. Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C). Try using the Hi-Temp Wash or Sani Rinse option. To remove spotting, see the “Dishwasher Care” section.
Dishwasher does not clean completely
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance. See the “Operating Your Dishwasher” section. Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Ensure the water intake screen on the floor of the dishwasher is not plugged with food or debris. Clean if required. Select the proper cycle for the type of soils. The ProWash™ cycle can be used for tougher loads. Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled loads and hard water conditions. Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse). If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water. Suds can come from:
■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent for hand-washing dishes.
■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid dispenser.
■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALL OPTIONAL MOISTURE BARRIER - RECOMMENDED FOR WOOD COUNTERTOPS
Moisture barrier/wood shims
Make sure the area under the cabinet is clean and dry for installation of the moisture barrier. Remove the backing of the moisture barrier, and apply to underside of the countertop along the front edge of the counter.
NOTE: The use of this moisture barrier is recommended but not required.
NOTE: Install wood shims if side anchoring and the gap between the sides of the cabinet and sides of the dishwasher are greater than 1/2" (1.27 cm) on each side or are greater than the length of the side anchor screws.
5. Built-up floors – add shims as needed
Note: The wood runners that come with the shipping base work well for shims.
Built-up floors: If the kitchen floor is higher than the cabinet opening’s floor - for example, the kitchen floor tile does not extend into the cabinet opening - add shims, as needed, in the area shown to bring cabinet floor up to same level as the kitchen floor.
NOTE: Shims must be securely attached to floor to avoid movement when the dishwasher is in use.
6. If installing into a 331/2" (85.1 cm) opening
Cut insulation blanket along perforation for cabinet opening height of 331/2" (85.1 cm). For other cabinet opening heights, do not cut the insulation blanket.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
– For Direct Wire, begin with Step 7
– For Power Cord, wait until Step 18
7. Direct wire – route cable
If installing with direct wire, route the cable as shown. Do not connect the wire to the product at this time. This connection will be made later, after the unit is installed into the cabinet opening. Route cable from power supply through cabinet hole. (Cable must extend to the right front side of cabinet opening.) Tape cable to the floor in area shown. This will prohibit cable from moving when dishwasher is moved into cabinet opening.
PREPARE DISHWASHER
Tip Over Hazard Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install dishwasher. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
8. Put the dishwasher on its back
Helpful Tip: Remove all internal shipping material, drain hose, installation kit, and handle (if included,) before laying on it’s back, and not to remove film on the door at this time.
Place cardboard under dishwasher until installed in cabinet opening to avoid damaging floor covering.
Using two or more people, grasp sides of dishwasher door frame, and place the dishwasher on its back.
Do not use the door panel as a worktable without first covering it with a towel to avoid scratching the door panel.

16. Tighten 90° elbow fitting to valve
'
Be sure rubber washer is properly seated in fitting. Slide the 3/4" (19 mm) fitting of the 90° elbow up to the valve and hand tighten it to avoid cross-threading. Hand tighten until the coupling is tight. Using pliers, check the tightness of the coupling. An additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn may be required to seal the rubber gasket. Route fill hose out the rear left side of unit.
NOTES:
■ Do not use tape with compression fittings.
■ Do not over-tighten. Damage to the coupling can result.
■ Route water supply line out rear of unit before setting unit up.
DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION
17. Connect drain hose
Put provided silver clamp over elbow end of drain hose. Then push the hose onto the drain port with the hose facing underneath the dishwasher. Using pliers squeeze, open the drain hose clamp and slide it over the elbow to ensure those hose is attached in place. Route the hose out of the back of the product.
NOTE:
■ If the hose is installed with the rubber elbow facing out, the drain hose may become kinked causing slow or incomplete draining in tight cabinet installations.
■ There may be a plastic plug in the drain port for shipping purposes where you will connect the drain hose. Remove this plug before installing drain hose, if present.
POWER CORD CONNECTION
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
If installing product using a Power Cord.
NOTE: Route drain hose out the back of unit before standing unit upright. Proceed to Step 18. If installing a product with direct wiring, wait until after Step 44 when the unit has been installed in the cabinet opening.
18. Remove terminal box
To remove the terminal box, depress the plastic latch, slide the box toward the left of the unit along the metal tube and rotate the left side of the box forward. Make sure that the product wiring will still be attached within the terminal box.
19. Remove terminal box cover
