SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Energy Saving Tips
You can help save energy if you:
1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled
dishwasher uses the same amount of
electricity and hot water as a fully loaded
machine.
2. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a
rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying
times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to
improve drying
3. Load correctly for best washing results.
Incorrect loading may cause poor
washing and the need to rewash all or
part of the load.
4. Do not pre-rinse normally soiled dishes.
Use the recommended amount of
detergent for good washing resufts
without hand rinsing.
5. Use your dishwasher during off-peak
hours. Local utilities recommend this to
avoid heavy usage of energy at certain
times of day.
6. Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and
efficiently through the use of your
dishwasher. Most appliance parts that
can fit in the dishwasher can be cleaned
by it. Burnedon soil, however, should be
cleaned by hand.

Proper Loading
Preparation for loading
lt is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher. Just
remove large pieces and quantities of food
and bones. The filtering system helps keep
food particles out of the wash water. Small
particles are flushed away as water is
pumped out. Larger particles are trapped
on the filter screen system. Refer to
“Dishwasher care and cleaning” on page 6
for filter screen cleaning instructions.
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are
reached by spray from rotating spray arm.
Water must be able to drain off completely
for best drying resutts. Be careful to
separate items so spray can reach all
surfaces.
Bottom rack loading
ttems with cooked-on or driedan food
should be loaded in the bottom rack with
soiled surfaces facing inward to the spray.
Mlxed load
l Make sure pot handles and other items
do not stop rotation of spray arm. Spray
arm must move freely.
l Load items so they do not block or cover
the spray tower.
l Securely place heavily soiled cookware
face down in rack.
Dlsh load
l Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between
prongs and facing the spray.
l Do not place items directly over spray
tower.
Utensil load
l Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other
items at sides or back. Loading items in
front may keep water spray from reaching
detergent dispenser.
NOTE:
l Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items
in the bottom rack.
l When lower rack is removed, replace
with bumpers in front.

Adding Detergent
What type of detergent to use
Use automatic dlshwasher detergent
only. Other detergents are too mild and
much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.
Different brands of dishwasher detergent
have different amounts of phosphorus for
softening water. If water is hard and
phosphorus content is low (6.0% or less),
you may need to use more detergent or use
a brand with a higher phosphorus content
(8.7% or higher).
Do not add detergent until you are ready
to wash. Fresh automatic dlshwasher
detergent Is necessary for best washlng
results. Store detergent tightly closed in a
cool, dry place.
The detergent dispenser
Cowr Comx latch
Use cowsred section Use both sections
alone for cycles with for cydes with two
one wash washes
The detergent dispenser has one section
with a cover and one without.
l Put detergent in both sections for cycles
with two washes (see page 3).
l Put detergent only in the covered section
for cycles with one wash.
l Push the cover down until it is latched.
Detergent in the open section falls into the
dishwasher when the door is closed. The
covered section opens automatically when
the main wash starts.
NOTE: It is normal for cover to open part-
ially when dispensing detergent. The cover
will open fully when the door is opened.
How much detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on
the hardness of your water. if too little is
used, dishes will not be clean. However, if
too much is used in sofi water, glassware
will begin to etch.
Find out your water’s hardness by asking
your local water department, water softener
company or county extension agent.
HARD-Fill 1 or both sections to top line if
water hardness is 8 or more grains per
gallon, or 136 or more parts per million.
MEDIUM-Fill 1 or both sections to mid-
dle line if water hardness is 5 to 7 grains
per gallon, or 85 to 119 parts per million.
SOFT-Fill 1 or both sections to bottom
line if water hardness is 0 to 4 grains per
gallon, or 0 to 68 parts per million.
Using Rinse Agent
Keep rinse agent
dispenser filled for
best drying results
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a
liquid rinse agent. A rlnse agent greatly
Improves the drylng of dlshes by
helplng water flow off of them during the
last rinse. A rinse agent also keeps water
from forming droplets and drying as spots.
A small amount of rinse agent is
automatically released into the rinse water
during the final rinse of each cycle.
For best drylng results, check the
dlspenser perlodlcally to see If it needs
refllllng. The center of the Fill Indicator
Cap will be clear when dispenser needs
refilling. An “E” will also be visible inside the
dispenser when the cap is removed and the
dispenser is empty.
The dispenser will hold 6 ounces of rinse
agent. Under normal conditions, this will
last about 3 months. You do not have to
wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it,
but do not overfill it.
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully
open when filling the dispenser. Do not fill
past the smallest opening in the lower part
of the dispenser. If you overfill, excess rinse
agent can come out. This will not harm the
dishwasher, but could cause over-sudsing.
Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a
damp cloth. Replace the Fill Indicator Cap
and keep it tightly closed.
NOTE: Because your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse agent, you do
not need to use a solid or bar-type rinse
agent.
Page 5

For Best Results Dishwasher Care
And Cleaning
Hot water Is a must
For best cleaning and drying results, water
should be at least 140°F (60°C). To have a
reliable hot water supply:
Maintain 140°F (60%) water supply at
central water heater. To check water
temperature, turn on hot water faucet
nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until
ii is as hot as possible, then check with a
candy or meat thermometer. If the
temperature at the faucet is below 135°F
(57”C), have a qualified person raise the
water heater thermostat setting.
Quiet operatlng tips
To avoid thumping and clattering noises
during operation:
l Make sure lightweight load items are
secured in the rack.
l Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza
pans, cookie sheets, etc. do not touch
interior walls or interfere with the spray
arm’s rotation or cover the spray tower.
l Load dishes so they do not touch one
another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted
during dishwasher operation to prevent
noise transfer through drains.
Special tlps on dishwasher use
Remember, use your dishwasher only for
the job it was designed to do. Some items
are not dishwasher safe or may require
special care. Read these special tips for the
following items:
Aluminum: Aluminum loses its bright,
shiny appearance and darkens in color due
to minerals in the water and the alkalinity of
the dishwasher detergent. Colored
aluminum may fade.
TIPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid
placing directly in front of detergent
dispenser where it could be sprinkled with
undissolved detergent, causing spotting,
pitting, and discoloration. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
China: Check with manufacturer for
cleaning instructions. Hand-painted, metal-
trimmed, and antique china fade due to
high water temperatures and alkaline
detergent solution in the dishwasher.
NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not
be washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Load china carefully. Do not allow
pieces to touch each other. Test one piece
by washing it daily in the dishwasher for
several weeks. Then compare it with the
rest of the set to see if colors have
changed.
Crystal and decorative glasses: Crystal
can break from sudden exposure to high
water temperature. Metal trim and colorful
decoration on glass will fade in time when
washed in the dishwasher.
NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not
be washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Load crystal carefully in top rack
only. Be sure to bad a few larger items in
the bottom rack to reduce amount of force
of water spray reaching glassware from
lower spray arm. Use the shortest cycle.
Flatware: Salty and acidic foods may
tarnish silver and stainless flatware iI
allowed to remain on the utensils. A film
may form on sterling silver and silver plate
items washed in a dishwasher. This film is
caused by a reaction of silver with chlorine
in the detergent. Gold flatware IS not
dlshwasher safe. The adhesive used in
some flatware with hollow handles is not
heat resistant, causing the handles to come
off in the dishwasher. Wash by hand.
TIPS: Rinse flatware as soon as possible,
especially if it is not to be washed right
away. Dishwasher detergent may remove
antique finishes. Wash by hand. Tarnish
and film build-up can be removed with silver
polish.
Cast Iron utenslls: The seasoned finish
will be removed in the dishwasher. Rusting
will result.
TIPS: Wash by hand. To re-season, coat
with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for
an hour or two.
Plastks: Many plastics will have
“Dishwasher Safe’ written on them. Some
plastics are heat sensitive and may melt or
warp.
TIPS: If in doubt, try one piece. Place in
upper rack only. Drying without heat
provides additional protection.
Non-stkk flnlsh utenslls: Most can be
washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Wood: Many wooden items will crack and
warp or lose their finish.
TIPS: Do not wash cutting boards,
wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden
handles in the dishwasher.
Pewter or pewter-llke materlals: May
streak, discolor, and pit.
TIPS: To keep pewter at its very best,
hand wash with mild detergent.
Exterlor
Regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge
and a mikf detergent is all that is necessary,
in most cases, to keep the outside of your
dishwasher nice looking and clean.
lnterlor
Hard water minerals may cause a white film
to build up on the inside surfaces,
especially just beneath the door area. To
clean interior:
1. Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to
a damp sponge to make a paste.
or
2. Use liquid automatic dishwasher
detergent and clean with damp sponge.
Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type
of cleanser other than dishwasher
detergent because it may cause foaming or
sudsing.
Filter screen
The fitter system requires periodic cleaning
as needed. To clean screen:
Personal Injury Hazard
Walt at least 20 mlnutes after a cycle
for the heatlng element to cool
down. Failure to do so can result In
burn InjurIes.
1. Unbad and slide the bottom rack
forward. (Remove bottom rack if
necessary to reach filter screen.)
2. Remove collected particles from the
screen with your fingers or paper towel.
3. Return the bottom rack to original
position.

Clogged drain air gap Some plumbing codes require use of a
drain air gap between an undercounter
dishwasher and the drain system of the
house. The air gap is usually located
above the sink or on the top of the
counter near the dishwasher to prevent
the possibility of water backing up from
the drain into the dishwasher due to a
plugged drain. The drain air gap is NOT
a part of the dishwasher and is NOT
covered by the dishwasher warranty. The
drain air gap should be kept clean to
ensure proper draining of the
