Your dish asher comes equipped ith a manual dispenser
and, on some models, an automatic liquid dish asher
detergent dispenser (SmartDispense
TM
). You can use either
of these dispensers, but don’t use both at the same time.
The cover of the main ash section ill open during the
ash cycle. If you are using SmartDispense
TM
, leave the
cover of the main ash section dispenser open before
starting the cycle.
You may use po der, liquid, gel or tablets in the manual
dispenser. It is important to keep po dered detergents and
tablets fresh and dry so they don’t lose effectiveness.
Therefore, do not put detergent into the manual dispenser
until you are ready to ash dishes.
Filling Manual Detergent Dispenser
The amount of detergent to use depends on hether your
ater is hard or soft. With hard ater, you need extra
detergent. With soft ater, you need less detergent.
Protect your dishes and dish asher by contacting your
ater department and asking ho hard your ater is.
T elve or more grains is extremely hard ater. A ater
softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in
the ater valve, hich could stick hile open and cause
flooding. Too much detergent ith soft ater can cause a
permanent cloudiness of glass are, called etching.
Use the information in the table belo as a guide to
determine the amount of automatic dish asher detergent
to place in the dispenser. You may use po der, liquid, gel
or tablets in this dispenser.
When using automatic dish ashing detergent tablets,
simply place one tablet in the main ash section and close
the cover.
For heavily soiled loads, use a bit more detergent. For ater
temperatures above 140°F, use a bit less detergent.
For heavily soiled loads, use the Pots and Pans or eavy Wash
cycle.
DO NO USE HAND DISH DE ERGEN
NO E: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed
for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher
vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the
dish asher detergent in a separate space from all other
cleaners. Sho anyone ho may use the dish asher the
correct detergent and here it is stored.
While there ill be no lasting damage to the dish asher,
your dishes ill not get clean using a dish ashing
detergent that is not formulated to ork ith dish ashers.

This dish asher may have a SmartDispense™feature
hich automatically dispenses liquid automatic
dish asher detergent into each cycle based on soil
level and ater hardness.
To utilize the SmartDispense™Detergent Dispenser,
it must first be filled. Although any liquid or gel
automatic dish ashing detergent can be used in
the SmartDispense™system, all liquid or gel
automatic dish ashing detergents are not the same.
Most automatic dish ashing detergents are chlorine
bleach-based (such as Cascade®or Electrasol®)
hile others contain enzymes (such as Cascade
Complete®or Electrasol®Advanced™Gel).
Do not mix any chlorine bleach-based automatic
dishwashing detergent with any dishwashing
detergent containing enzymes as this could cause
the detergents to congeal and lead to blockage of
the SmartDispense™system. Check the detergent
label to determine if the detergent is chlorine
bleach-based or one that contains enzymes. It is
recommended that the same type of detergent be
used hen refilling your SmartDispense™system.
CAU ION! Absolutely do not add
po der detergent, tablets or any liquid soap or
detergent normally used for ashing hands or
dishes in a sink. Only use liquid or gel detergent
specifically designed for use in an automatic
dish asher.
Filling Dispenser
To open the dispenser for filling, push do n and
turn the blue cap counterclock ise until the cap
is loose. Lift cap off.
Set the door at a comfortable angle to fill the
dispenser.
Aim the detergent bottle at the opening in the door
and begin to fill.
The dispenser ill hold 40 oz of liquid dish asher
detergent (standard size bottle).
When full, replace the cap and turn clock ise
until tight to ensure that no ater enters the
SmartDispense™dispenser. If residue is left on
the door, it ill be ashed off in the next cycle.
An indicator light ill turn on to notify you hen the
dispenser needs to be filled again. After filling, the light
ill not turn off until the door is closed. A full dispenser
ill last approximately 1 month for the average user.
NO E: If you are not using SmartDispense™and you
ant to turn the LOW DE ERGEN LED light off, press
the ADDED HEA pad 5 times ithin 3 seconds. You
ill hear 3 beeps, then the light ill go off. You can

Loading the dishwasher racks.
Lower Rack
The lo er rack is best used for plates, saucers
and cook are. Large items such as broiler
pans and baking racks should go along the
left-hand side. Load platters, pots and bo ls
along the sides, in corners or in the back. The
soiled side of items should face the center of
the rack. If necessary, oversized glasses and
mugs can be placed in the lo er rack to
maximize loading flexibility.
Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item
such as a pot or dish handle extend through
the bottom rack. This could block the ash
arm and cause poor ashing results.
Fold-do n tines (on some models) provide
flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.
The tines may be left in the up position or
folded do n to customize the lo er rack.
Silverware Basket
A variety of options is available regarding
the three-piece silver are basket in your
dish asher. The complete basket is designed
to fit on the right side of the lo er rack.
Additionally, each end of the basket is
removable to add loading flexibility to
accommodate flat are and lo er rack
capacity needs.
To load flat are, simply push the adjustable
handle to either side. Put flat are in the
basket ith knife handles up to protect
your hands. Place spoons in the basket
ith handles do n. Mix knives, forks and
spoons so they don’t nest together.
The provided lids ith slots can be used
to avoid nesting of silver are. Small plastic
items, such as measuring spoons and
lids for small containers, should go in
the bottom of the silver are basket ith
silver are on top.
The lids of both end and middle baskets can
be closed to contain small items. Long items
can be placed on the utility shelf in the
upper rack.
Don’t let any
item extend
through bottom.
To remove end baskets, grasp the
basket at opposite corners and
slide apart.
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware
baskets may vary from your model.
Upper Rack
Although the upper rack is primarily for
glasses, cups and saucers, pots and pans can
be placed in this rack for effective cleaning.
Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This
is also a secure place for dish asher-safe
plastics.
The upper rack is adjustable (on some models)
to add flexibility in loading your dish asher.
To lo er, push tabs in and lo er rack. To raise,
just pull up on rack until it snaps.
The utility shelf (on some models) may be

The upper rack is good for all kinds of
odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing
bo ls and other items should be placed face

provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-
fit items.
Secure larger dish asher-safe plastics over
2 tines hen possible.
Make sure small plastic items are secure so
they can’t fall onto the heater.
Be sure that items do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block rotation of
the middle spray arm. This could result in
poor ash performance for items in the
upper rack.
Check to make sure that no items ill block
rotation of the ash arms.
