NOTE
The dishwasher is programmed to
remember your last cycle so you do not
have to reset each time. To start the dish-
washer using the same cycle and options
selected on the previous wash, just press
the START button.
NOTE
Not all cycles and options available on all
models.
NOTE
Why Energy Ecient Units run long
cycles: Several factors are important to
washing dishware. The energy use of
the dishwasher was reduced by apply-
ing more of the factors that don’t use so
much energy and less of the ones that
use more. As a result, you will see that the
wash cycles take longer.
NOTE
Very Important Information
- Read Before Operating Your
Dishwasher!
Normal Operating Sounds
This dishwasher does not sound like most
dishwashers - IT’S QUIETER.
Your Direct Feed Wash System dishwash-
er uses energy ecient motors for the
wash and drain portions of the cycle you
select. Each cycle has a series of water
lls and drains for washing and rinsing
dishes. As each cycle begins, you may-or
may not- hear the drain motor. The next
sound you will hear is the splashing water
as it enters the tub.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you compare this
dishwasher to previous models, you may
be surprised at what you DON’T hear.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
This symbols will help alert you to such
dangers as personal injury, burns, re
and electrical shock.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electrical shock
or injury when using your dishwasher,
follow the above basic precautions .
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
Items that are not marked dishwasher
safe may melt and create a potential
re hazard.
• When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items and knives so
that they are not likely to damage the
door seal or tub.
- Load sharp items and knives with
the handles up to reduce the risk of
cut type injuries.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Use care unloading the dishware when
the SANITIZE option has been selected.
Contents may be hot to the touch
immediately after the end of cycle.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot water
system that has not been used for 2
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before
using dishwasher, turn on all hot water
faucets and let water ow from each for
several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN
GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or
use an open ame during this time.
• Do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other ammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance.
• Disconnect electrical power to
dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualied
technician.
• To avoid entrapment and/or
suocation, remove door or door latch
mechanism from any dishwasher that
is discarded or not in use.
For your Safety
• Use your dishwasher only as instructed in
this User Manual.
• This Manual does not cover every
possible condition and situation that
may occur. Use common sense and
caution when installing, operating and
maintaining any appliance.
• NSF certied residential dishwashers
are not intended for licensed food
establishments.
• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED. This appliance must
be connected to a ground 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 this appliance. Read
the Assembly Instructions for details.
• This dishwasher is designed to operate on
regular house current (120V, 60Hz). Use
a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse
or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse
if dishwasher is connected with a food
disposer.
• Do not operate dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are in their proper
place.
• Keep young children and infants away
from dishwasher when it is operating.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or
play on door or racks of a dishwasher.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or on the
dishwasher.
• Use only detergents and rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher.
• Store dishwasher detergent and rinse
agents out of the reach of children.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food
disposer, make sure disposer is
completely empty before running
dishwasher.
• Do not wash plastic items unless
marked: “Dishwasher Safe” or
equivalent. Check with manufacturer
for recommendations, if not marked.

EN
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the
spray arms against soiled surfaces. First, the dishwasher drains for a few seconds to
remove soils dropped while loading, then lls with water covering the lter area. Water is
then pumped through the spray arms. Soil particles go through and across the lter and
down the drain as the water is pumped out. This series of steps are repeated as needed.
The number of water lls varies with the cycle being used.
Getting Started
1. Load Dishwasher (See Preparing and Loading Dishes).
2. Add detergent (See Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents).
3. Add Rinse Aid, if needed (See Rinse Aid).
4. Run hot water faucet nearest dishwasher until water is hot. Turn water o.
5. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart).
6. Select desired OPTION (See Option Selections).
7. To start, press START button and close door immediately.
Features may vary according to model.

CAUTION
Property Damage Hazard
Before starting dishwasher be sure that
the water is connected and turned on.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the
pump seal and result in water leakage.
Wash Cycle Selections
Cycle times are approximate and will
vary with options selected. Hot water is
necessary to activate dishwasher detergent
and melt fatty food soils. An automatic
sensor will check the incoming water
temperature and, if it is not hot enough, the
cycle will be lengthened for automatic water
heating in the main wash and nal rinse of
all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP
WASH option has not be selected. When
HI-TEMP WASH is selected, an even higher
temperature will be reached to handle
heavier soil loads.
Option Selections
Wash Pressure
The programmed cycles default to the
“surge” pressure option which varies the
pressure optimally for the cycle’s intended
normal use. If a very low “spray” is desired,
press the WASH PRESSURE button. Due to
wash cycle optimization, some pressure
options are not selectable in all wash cycle.
Wash Temp
The programmed cycles default to the
“normal” temperature option, to choose HI-
TEMP or SANITIZE press WASH TEMP button
again.
Hi-Temp Wash Option
HI-TEMP WASH option is selected, by
pressing the WASH TEMP button. The
dishwasher heats water in the main wash
to approximately 140°F (60°C) and increases
the temperature higher in the nal rinse to
help with the drying stage.
This helps dishwasher detergent remove
food grease and soil from dishes more
eectively and aids in drying performance
by adding additional rinse aid and
increasing the water temperature.
Recommended Cycle for typical use:
The Normal cycle with its factory default
options of normal temperature and
heated dry together provide the best all
around performance. This cycle selection
is recommended for everyday use and is
suitable for a large range of both dish load
sizes and food quantities remaining on those
dishes.
Sanitize Option
To sanitize your dishes and glassware, select
SANITIZE option, by pressing WASH TEMP
button. When selected, the light will come
on and remain on until end of cycle. The
water temperature in the nal rinse will
be raised to 155°F (68°C) and will maintain
that temperature for 9 minutes. This option
is available in Heavy and Normal Cycles.
Only these sanitization cycles have been
designed to meet NSF requirements.
The cycle time will be extended until the
proper water temperature is reached.
Washing action will continue during the
water heating delay. For best results, the
incoming water temperature should be at
least 120°F (49°C).
The sanitize criteria may not be satised if
there is an interruption of the cycle, power
failure or if the incoming water temperature
is below 120°F (49°C).
To turn o the SANITIZE option, press the
Wash Temp button. The SANITIZE light will
turn o.
NOTE
The dishwasher checks the soil level on your dishes. In response, automatic cycle adjust-
ments are made to assure the dishwasher gets clean – with less food the cycle gets shorter.
Cycle time will also vary based on the options selected and the incoming water temperature.

Status Indicator Lights
The CLEAN light will remain on after door is
opened.
When the SANITIZE option is selected and
the criteria is met, the Sanitized indicator
will display and remain on after the door
is opened. If the sanitization criteria is not
achieved, the indicator will not display. This
can happen if the cycle is interrupted or if
the sanitization temperature could not be
reached due to incoming water temperature
signicantly below 120°F.
To Cancel a Setting
If you have selected your cycle and options
and decide to cancel, by pressing the START
button, the unit will go into a stand-by
mode, which all LEDs will go out.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Dish Preparation
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones,
pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously
ltered wash uid will remove remaining
food particles. Burned-on foods should be
loosened before loading. Empty liquids from
glasses and cups.
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise,
vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based
products may cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to
sit for a long period of time. Unless the
dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is
best to pre-rinse or use the rinse only cycle
to rinse o these food soils.
• Load racks so that large items do not
prevent the detergent dispenser from
opening.
• Check manufacturer’s
recommendations before washing
items in question.
• If the dishwasher drains into a
Food Disposer, be sure disposer is
completely empty before starting
dishwasher.

EN OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can
damage parts of the dishwasher leading
to damage to the unit and surrounding
property. Use only household grade
automatic dishwasher detergents.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends
on the water hardness. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Using too
little detergent can result in poor cleaning
and hard water lming or spotting. Using
too much detergent in soft water can cause
etching to some glassware which is surface
damage that appears like a lm but cannot
be wiped o. You can also determine the
water hardness with a water hardness test
kit from a hardware store.

NOTE
Hard water may cause lime deposit
buildup on the interior of the dishwasher.
For cleaning instructions see “Removing
Spots and lm” section.
NOTE
Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs may
not dissolve completely if used with the
QUICK WASH cycles. If one of these prod-
ucts are used, place the tab or pack directly
on the bottom of the tub in a corner before
starting the dishwasher, rather than placing
these products in the dispenser.
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has a main wash
cup where you will add your detergent or
detergent tab.
• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents may cause
oversudsing.
• When using automatic dishwashing
detergent tablet, place one tablet in
main wash cup and close.
• Add detergent just before starting
cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location.
Moist or caked detergent may not
dissolve properly.
To add detergent:
1. Press the dispenser cover latch to open
the main wash detergent cup.
2. Add the recommended amount of

IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to
clear cool water from pipe.
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must
provide water pressure between 20 and 120
psi.
Low water pressure may occur when
laundry or showers are in operation. If you
experience poor wash performance you
may need to wait until water use is reduced
before starting the dishwasher.
How to adjust the rinse aid
dosage
Press and hold the RINSE ONLY and DELAY
START button for 5 seconds until the status
window shows rinse aid level. Pressing
the DELAY START button increases the
increment level (L0-L6).
Once the rinse-aid level reaches L6, the
status window will start back at level L0.
Pressing the START button or just pausing
for a few seconds conrms the rinse aid
level setting: the status window shows the
duration of the cycle.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing
and drying results. Water entering
dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C)
to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering
dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest
dishwasher for several minutes to clear
cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer
in the water stream to check the
temperature.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C),
have a qualied person raise the hot
water heater thermostat setting.

Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying,
reduces water spots, lming. With
it water “sheets” o dishes rather than
forming water droplets that cling and leave
spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent
cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.
If spotting and poor drying are problems,
increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed.
The indicator will be dark when full and will
show clear when it is time to rell.
To add liquid rinse aid:
1. Lift up the rinse aid cover to open.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
rinse aid until the liquid reaches the
indicated ll level. DO NOT overll.
3. Press the rinse aid cover down rmly to
close.
4. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66
washes, depending on setting.
NOTE
The HEAT DRY option in combination with
rinse aid will enhance drying performance.
The energy required to use the HEAT DRY
option costs pennies per cycle. You may
choose not to select the HEAT DRY option;
however you will have items in your dish
load that will not be completely dry at the
end of the cycle.

yellow or brown lm. A special lter
installed in the water supply line will
correct this problem. (See Removing
Spots and Film).
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black
marks when they rub against other
items. Load Properly.

in silverware basket can cause pitting of
the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing
stainless steel and silver.

EN TROUBLESHOOTING
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup
on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes
and glasses may also get spots and lm
for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/
Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To
remove buildup, and lm, clean using the
following instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils
or silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL cycle. Press START
button. Close and latch the door.
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts
the second water ll (approximately 10
minutes).
5. Unlatch an and open door and pour 2
cups of white vinegar into the bottom of
dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to
nish.
Dishwasher Leaks
• Use only fresh detergent designed
for automatic dishwashers. Measure
detergent carefully. Try a dierent
brand.
Etching
• Using too much detergent especially in
soft or softened water causes damage
that looks like a lm but cannot be
removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent
based on the water hardness. (Check
Detergent Chart).
• Lower the water temperature.
Detergent Left in Dispenser Cup
• Detergent may be old. Discard and use
fresh detergent.
• Be sure the dish load doesn’t block
spray from entering the detergent cup.
• Check to see if cycle has been
completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.
Vapor at Vent
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and
lead to overowing. Wipe up any spills
with a damp cloth.
• Water vapor escapes from the vent
during the drying part of the cycle. This
is normal.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level.
(See Assembly Instructions).
Dishwasher Won’t Run
• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped
or if a fuse is blown.
• Make sure water supply is turned on.
• Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See
Operating Instructions).
• Is dishwasher set for Delay Start Option?
• Make sure door is closed and latched.
Dishwasher Won’t Fill
• Is water supply turned on?
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
• If unit is hooked up to a food waste
disposer, make sure the disposer is
empty.
• Check to see if the knockout plug has
been removed from inside the food
waste disposer inlet.
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a
pause.
Dishwasher has an Odor
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too
long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only
cycle.
• There will be a “new” smell when rst
installed. This is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly.
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Properly).
Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware
with tomato based soil can cause a
pink/orange appearance. This will not
aect performance and will gradually
fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using the
Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance
of staining. Using air dry option will
lessen staining.
Opening the door during cycle
• If the dishwasher door is opened while
the unit is running, the START button
must be pressed and the door shut
immediately to return the unit to the
selected cycle and option.
