safety information
Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them
out of the reach of children.
After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
-
-
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.
For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
Do not push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the
dishwasher or cause harm.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
-
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 the dishwasher turn
on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
Disconnect the power cable (or disconnect the circuit breaker) before servicing your
dishwasher.
Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. They may harm themselves or
damage the dishwasher.
Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly, repairs
and modifications are permitted by authorized service technicians only. Work done by an
unauthorized person may void your warranty.
Before disposing of your dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment or the
door latch so that children or small animals do not get trapped inside.

The dishwasher is extremely heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry the dishwasher by
yourself. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries.
After the dishwasher is installed, check that the drain hose is properly connected and
that there is no leakage from the hose connectors. If the drain hose is loose, it may cause
property damage.
The water supply line is susceptible to breakage. As time goes by, it becomes less flexible.
Check the line periodically. If it is swollen, torn, cut or there is a water leak, replace it
immediately.
Do not put gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials inside the dishwasher. Do not
wash dishes exposed to these materials.
Keep your dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children. Detergent has an adverse
effect on human organs. It contains elements for polishing and is corrosive. Avoid letting the
detergent come into contact with your skin and eyes.
Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from
open flames.
If the dishwasher is left unused for an extended period of time, turn off the water supply.
This dishwasher is intended for residential use only.

Electrical supply and grounding
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest
Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner
to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
Never use an extension cord.
When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:
CAUTION
•
•
A 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker
An individual branch circuit serving only your dishwasher
Your dishwasher must be grounded. If your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks down, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric
current.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
for a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and then connected to
the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Water supply
Your dishwasher will fill properly when your water pressure is 20~120 psi (140~830 kPa). Water
pressure less than 20 psi (140 kPa) may cause water supply valve failure, not allowing the water
supply valve to shut off completely. Or, it may take the dishwasher longer to fill than what the
controls allow, resulting in your dishwasher turning off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent
overflowing/flooding if an internal line becomes loose, is built into the controls.)
Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply lines of various lengths up to 10 feet (305
cm) long.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
•
•
•
Making water faucets easily accessible.
Turning off faucets when the dishwasher is not in use.
Periodically checking for leaks at water supply line fittings.
Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check all connections at the water supply valve
and faucets for leaks.
WARNING
Flooring
For best performance, your dishwasher must be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
Never install your dishwasher on a platform or poorly supported structure.
Your dishwasher must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation guide before it is used. If
you did not receive an Installation guide with your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our website

cleaning and maintaining your
dishwasher
Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary
repairs, and lengthens its life.
clEanIng thE ExtErIor
It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft damp cloth on the
control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or
alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and may cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by
sprinkling water over it and avoid water coming into contact with any of the electrical parts.
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, it can be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner for
Home Appliances or similar product using a clean, soft cloth.
clEanIng thE IntErIor
Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the
dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend running the dishwasher
periodically (using a Quick or Delicate cycle with the sanitize option) with an empty load after inserting
dishwasher detergent. This will keep your dishwasher clean.
Do not remove the Seal tub front (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
CAUTION
clEanIng thE nozzlES
If the cleaning performance of your dishwasher is continually low or the nozzles seem clogged, you can
clean each of the nozzles. When removing the nozzles, take care as they may break.

StorIng your dIShwaShEr
If you need to store your dishwasher for an extended period of time, first drain and disconnect it, as your
dishwasher may be damaged if water is left in the hoses and internal components before storage.
After draining and disconnecting the dishwasher, be sure to turn off the water supply valve and circuit
breaker.
