SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Warning! – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to  
persons, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the  
following:  
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.  
3. Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher,  
and keep them out of the reach of children.  
4. When loading items to be washed:  
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;  
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type  
injuries.  
5. 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.  
6. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.  
7. Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in  
place.  
8. Do not tamper with controls.  
9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the  
dishwasher.  
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the  
dishwasher.  
11. 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 faucet's 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher: The dishwasher must be  
grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the  
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.  
The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment- grounding  
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate  
outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and  
ordinances.  
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can  
result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service  
representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded.  
Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet,  
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.  
For a permanently connected dishwasher:  
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring  
system, or an equipment- grounding conductor must be run with the circuit  
conductors and connected to the equipment- grounding terminal or lead on the  
dishwasher.

START-UP GUIDE  
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire  
Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful  
operating tips.  
USING YOUR NEW DISHWASHER

dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling  
will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.  
2. Scrape leftover food and hard items ( toothpicks or bones )  
from dishes. You do not need to pre-rinse your dishes.  
3. Properly load the dishwasher. ( See" Dishwasher Loading" ) Load dishes with  
space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing  
prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely..  
4. Add detergent. Always use a quality brand detergent. ( See "Dishwasher Use" )

DISHWASHER LOADING  
LOADING SUGGESTIONS  
• Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes.  
To conserve water and energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes  
before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module removes food  
particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which will  
reduce the size of food items.  
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash  
module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing  
sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do  
not let metallic items ( such as pot handle screws ) get into the wash  
module. Damage can occur.  
• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.  
• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying  
results, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.  
• Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel  
interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.  
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not  
interfere with the spray arm rotation.  
• Conserve water, energy and save time spent hand-rinsing by running a rinse  
cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods such  
as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if  
they are left to dry over a period of time.  
QUIET OPERATING TIPS  
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:  
• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.  
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch  
interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.  
• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.  
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher  
operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

3. Pre-Wash section  
4. Cover  
The larger Main wash section automatically empties detergent into the  
dishwasher during the wash ( See the "cycle Selection Charts" )  
• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce  
excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing  
performance.  
• Add detergent just before starting a cycle.

phosphorous for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent  
with a phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more  
detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

Cleaning the exterior  
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent  
is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and  
clean.  
Cleaning the interior  
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces,  
especially just beneath the door area.  
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. Wear rubber gloves. Do  
not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may  
cause foaming or create suds.

To clean interior  
Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and  
clean.  
OR  
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.  
OR  
See the vinegar rinse procedure in "spotting and filming on dishes" in  
"Troubleshooting."  
NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the interior.  
DRAIN AIR GAP  
Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn't draining well.  
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap  
between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system.If a drain is clogged,  
the drain air gap protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it.  
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the  
dishwasher.  
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your  
dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover  
service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external  
drain air gap.  
TO clean the drain air gap  
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your  
dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer. With  
most types: Lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Check for any soil  
buildup. Clean if necessary.  
STORING  
Storing for the Summer  
Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water  
supply and power supply to the dishwasher.  
Winterizing your dishwasher  
Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage caused by freezing  
water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be exposed  
to near freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized  
service personnel.

call...  
DISHWASHER IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY  
• Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle  
Is the door closed tightly and latched?  
Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the Cycle Selection charts.  
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown or circuit  
breaker tripped?  
Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets  
itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.  
Is the water shut-off valve ( If installed ) turned on?  
It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during  
the main wash.  
• Dishwasher will not fill  
Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to  
release.  
• Dishwasher seems to run too long  
Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The dishwasher runs  
longer while heating water Refer to the "Dishwasher Performance Tips" section.

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different brand to reduce  
foaming and eliminate buildup.  
• Odor in the dishwasher  
Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle once or twice a  
day until you have a full load.  
Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar rinse as  
described in "Spotting and filming on dishes" later in this troubleshooting  
guide.

English  
Dishes are not completely clean  
• Food soil left on the dishes  
Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the "Dishwasher Loading" section.  
Did you choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil in your  
dishwasher? lf you have some items with heavier soils, use a heavier cycle.  
Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should  
be 120ºF ( 49 ºC ) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher  
Performance Tips" section.  
Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use recommended  
dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser " section. Never  
use less than 1 tb ( 15g ) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective.  
Store detergent in a cool, dry area Heavy soil and/or hard water generally  
require extra detergent.  
Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow  
detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when  
caked detergent is present.  
Is the pump or spray arm clogged by Iabels from bottles and cans? If you  
wash bottles and cans in your dishwasher, check for labels clogging the pump  
or spray arm.  
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home  
water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi ( 138 to 828 kPa ) for proper  
dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure  
is too low.  
Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Never use soap or laundry detergents.  
Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.  
SPOTS AND STAINS ON DISHES  
• Spotting and filming on dishes  
Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water?  
Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate  
spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled. Always use a high-  
temp option. If your water hardness is 13 grains or above, it is strongly  
recommended that you install a home water softener if you do not wash to  
drink softened water, have the softener installed onto your hot water supply.  
Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should  
be 120ºF ( 49ºC ) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher  
Performance Tips" section.  
Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use recommended  
dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Never  
Use less than 1 tb ( 15g ) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective.  
Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally  
require extra detergent.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home  
water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi ( 138 to 828 kpa ) for proper  
dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure  
is too low.  
NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white vinegar rinse. This  
procedure is intended for occasional use only vinegar is an acid and  
using it too often could damage your dishwasher.  
1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy saving dry option.  
Remove all silverware or metal items.  
2. Put 2 cups ( 500 mL ) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring  
cup on the bottom rack.  
3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an  
energy saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the  
wash water.  
• Silica film or etching ( silica film is a milky, rainbow- colored  
deposit; etching is a cloudy film )  
Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware.  
This is usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline  
washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and the  
heat of drying. It might not be possible to prevent the problem, except by hand  
washing.  
To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tb  
( 15 g ) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and under load the dishwasher to  
allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be  
removed. Do not use heated drying.  
• White spots on cookware with non-stick finish  
Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning? Reseason  
cookware after washing in the dishwasher.  
• Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior  
Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes Using 1 -3 tsp ( 5-15  
ml ) of citric acid crystals added to the covered section of the detergent  
dispenser .Do not use detergent. Follow with a Normal wash cycle with  
detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, the  
lnstallation of an iron removal unit is recommended.  
• Black or gray marks on dishes  
Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing? Disposable aluminum  
items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking, Hand wash these  
items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.  
• Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior  
Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher?  
It may be necessary to use a stain removal product to remove stains from your  
dishwasher.Stains will not affect dishwasher performance.

DISHES DO NOT DRY COMPLETELY  
• Dishes are not dry  
Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water drainage?  
Do not overload. Refer to the "Dishwasher Loading" section. Use a liquid rinse  
aid to speed drying.  
Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.  
Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the "Rinse Aid Dispenser" section.  
Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving dry option? Use a heated drying  
option for dryer dishes.  
DISHES ARE DAMAGED DURING A CYCLE  
• Chipping of dishes  
Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and glasses so they are  
stable and do not strike together from washing action. Minimize chipping by  
moving the rack in and out slowly.  
NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of china and glassware  
might be too delicate for automatic dishwashing. Wash by hand.  
Noises  
• Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds  
A hard object has entered the wash module ( on some models ). When the  
object is ground up, the sound should stop.
