iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
[] Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. [] Do not tamper with controls.
[] Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
[] Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in
a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
[] When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage
the door seal; and
2) 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 abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks
of the dishwasher.
[] To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in
or on 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
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 or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
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.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
Tip Over Hazard

The United States has passed a restriction limiting the amount of
phosphorus (phosphates) in the household dishwasher
detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous detergents
contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have reformulated their
dishwasher detergent for this change in detergents as another
step in eco-conscious awareness. With these recent changes it is
recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and
improved performance. \

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher
filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and
optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal
cleaning performance. Maintenance of your filters regularly will
sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both
your upper and lower filter and rinse under running water at least
once a month.

hard items from the dishes. Remove labelsfrom containers before
washing.
10 Place load pattern (when silverware basket is in
lower rack)
Upper rack Lower rack
Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from
spinning freely. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items
are blocking the detergent dispenser.
• Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and
drying results. Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that
may trap food.
• Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic 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 the racks.
Use slots in the covers (if provided) and suggested loading
pattens to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.
When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down. Mix other items
pointing up and some pointing down.
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
• Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid
or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
• Fresh automatic
dishwasher
detergent results in
better cleaning.
Store tightly closed
detergent container
in a cool, dry place.
• For optimum
performance, tablet
detergent is
recommended.

Add Rinse Aid
HardWaterSoftWater
Pre-Wash
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 heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by
allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final
rinse.
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the
dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and
energy conservation while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require
maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter
assembly and a lower filter.
• The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and
foreign objects, along with very fine food particles, out of
the pump.
• The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto
your dishware.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
• Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.
• There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is,
soils still present on dishes).
• Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart
below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes. This
will also save you time and effort.
Very Hard Water
Ifyou have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least
once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher
indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
"Troubleshooting" section.
Filter Removal Instructions
1. Turn the Upper Filter
Assembly 1¼turn
counterclockwise and lift
out.
2. Separate the upper filter
assembly by gently pulling
apart.
3. Clean the filters as shown.

Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc. as they
may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. Ifyou
have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a
soft brush may be required.
To remove Upper Filter Assembly

Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. Noting the previous
illustrations, place the
Lower Filter under the
Locating Tabs in the
bottom of the dishwasher
so the round opening for
the Upper Filter Assembly
lines up with the round
opening in the bottom of
the tub.
2. Insert the Upper Filter
Assembly into the circular
opening in the Lower Filter.
Locating tab
3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place.
Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the
filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn
the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.
NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow does not have to
align with the arrow in the Lower Filter as long as the filter is
locked.
IMPORTANT: Toavoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your
dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the Lower
Filter is securely in place and the Upper Filter Assembly is locked
into place. If the Upper Filter Assembly turns freely, it is not locked
into place.
To replace Upper Filter Assembly
CLEANING THE DISHWASHER Drain air gap
Cleaning the exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a
stainless steel cleaner is recommended - Stainless Steel Cleaner
and Polish Part Number 31464.
Cleaning the interior
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is
an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe
measuring cup on the bottom rack. 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.
Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure
Removal of Hard Water /Filming: Recommended use of a
monthly maintenance product such as affresh ®tDishwasher
Cleaner Part Number W10282479.
• Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by
filming/hard water).
• Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.
• Select cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start
dishwasher.
NOTE: Recommended to use a premeasured detergent tablet or
pack for regular daily use.
If you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn't draining
well.
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.

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?
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown,
or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the
circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
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 shutoff valve (if installed) turned on?
It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several
seconds during the main wash.
•The Clean light is flashing
Call for service.
•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
The dishwasher can run up to 31/2hours depending on soil
level, water temperature, cycles and options.
Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The
dishwasher runs longer while heating water.
Is the dishwasher cycle time within the cycle times? See cycle
sections wash times. A delay automatically occurs in some
wash and rinse cycles until the water reaches the proper
temperature.
This dishwasher is equipped with an optical sensor wash that
detects water temperature, soil and detergent amount. Wash
cycles are adjusted based on what is sensed.
IMPORTANT: The very first wash cycle after installation in your
home will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses. This
cycle must not be interrupted for proper sensor adjustment. If
this adjustment cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean
light comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle will
repeat this sensor adjustment.
•Water remains in the dishwasher
Is the cycle complete?
Detergent remains in the covered section of the dispenser
Is the cycle complete?
Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary.
Is the dispenser door blocked by dishes or cookware when the
dishwasher door is closed?
White residue on the front of the access panel
Was too much detergent used?
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 "Dishwasher Care."
Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)
Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from
the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.
Dishes do not dry completely
•Dishes do not dry completely
Did you use a 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 heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.
•Dishes are not dry
Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water drainage?
Do not overload. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying.
Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.
Is the rinse aid dispenser empty?
Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving dry option? Use a
heated drying option for dryer dishes.
•Excess moisture on racks and dishwasher interior
Check the rinse aid indicator to see that there is rinse aid in the
dispenser.
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. Ifyou do not wish 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 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.
Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use
recommended dishwasher detergents only. Do not use less
than 1 tbs (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be
effective. 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. If you have questions about
your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
NOTE: To remove spots and film from glassware, remove all
silverware and metal items and see the "Dishwasher
Maintenance Procedure" in the "Dishwasher Care" section.

•Dishes are not completely clean
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 avoid the
problem, except by hand washing.
To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but
not less than 1 tbs (15 g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and
underload 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 nonstick finish
Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning?
Reseason cookware after washing it 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 installation of
an iron removal unit is suggested.
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.
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. If the
noise persists after a complete cycle, call for service.
•Food soil left on the dishes
Is the dishwasher loaded correctly?
Did you choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil in
your dishwasher? If you have some items with heavier soils,
use a heavier cycle.
Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results,
water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.
Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use
recommended dishwasher detergents only. Do not use less
than 1 tbs (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be
effective. 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 labels from bottles and
cans?
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. If you have questions about
your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or
laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher detergents
only.
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.

iFelicitaciones por haber comprado la lavavajillas con bajo consumo de agua y energia! Esta lavavajillas limpia
rociando la vajilla con agua y hace pausas para permitir que el detergente remoje la vajilla y afloje la suciedad de
los platos. Para obtener una limpieza excepcional, los ciclos se hacen mas largos debido al remojo y las pausas.
Varios modelos tienen un sensor optico de agua. El sensor optico de agua se usa para determinar el consumo
optimo de agua y energia para un desempe_o de limpieza ideal. Las lavavajillas eficaces funcionan por mas tiempo
para ahorrar agua y energia, de la misma manera que se ahorra gasolina cuando se conduce un automovil m_s
despacio. El primer ciclo con sensor durarA m_s tiempo para calibrar el sensor optico.
Agente de enjuague
El uso del agente de enjuague hara optimo el desempe_o de
lavado y secado. Esta lavavajillas ha sido dise_ada
especificamente para usarse en conjuncion con agente de
enjuague, para obtener un mejor desempe_o de secado y
controlar la acumulacion de depositos de agua dura. Las
lavavajillas con bajo consumo de energia usan menos agua y
energia, de modo que dependen de la accion de desplazamiento
del agua por obra del agente de enjuague para asegurar un
6ptimo desempe_o.
Estados Unidos ha aprobado una restriccion que limita la
cantidad de fosforo (fosfatos) en los detergentes para lavavajillas
domesticas a no m_s de 0,5%, mientras que los detergentes
previos contenian 8,7%. Los principales fabricantes han
reformulado su detergente para lavavajillas de acuerdo a este
cambio, un paso mas en la conciencia ecologica. Con estos
cambios recientes, se recomienda usar pastillas y paquetes por
conveniencia y para mejorar el desempe_o.

Su lavavajillas cuenta con Io Oltimo en tecnologia de filtracion

todas las superficies sucias.
AsegQrese de que cuando este cerrada la puerta de la
lavavajillas no haya articulos bloqueando el deposito de
detergente.
Los articulos deberAn cargarse con las superficies sucias
mirando hacia abajo y hacia adentro, hacia el rociador, como
se muestra. Esto mejorarA los resultados de limpieza y de
secado.
• Evite superponer los articulos como tazones o platos, que
puedan atrapar la comida.
• Coloque los plasticos, platos peque_os y vasos en la canasta
superior. Lave solo articulos de plastico marcados como
"lavable en la lavavajillas".
• Use las ranuras en las cubiertas (si se han provisto) y los
modelos de carga sugeridos para mantener los cubiertos
separados y obtener un lavado optimo.
Cuando cargue la canastilla de los cubiertos,
coloque siempre los articulos filosos con las
puntas hacia abajo. Mezcle otros articulos de
modo que algunos esten hacia arriba y otros
hacia abajo.

• La cantidad de
detergente a usar depende de:
Cuanta suciedad permanece en los articulos - Las cargas con
suciedad profunda requieren mas detergente.

instrucciones del paquete Lavadoprincipal Prelavado
cuando use otro detergente para lavavajillas.
Agregue el agente de enjuague
Para obtener un buen secado, su lavavajillas ha sido dise_ada

humedad. La opcion de secado con calor no funcionar_ tan
bien sin usar el agente de enjuague.
Los agentes de enjuague evitan que el agua forme _ Full
gotitas que pueden secarse como manchas o rayas.
