shwasher Safety
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the
word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured
if you don't follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING -When using the *Do not operate the dishwasher unless
dishwasher, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
. Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
. 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.
all enclosure panels are properly in
place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the
door 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 EXPLO-
SIVE. 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 to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Starting Your
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until
completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury
or cuts.
shwasher
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground
connector in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
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 dish-
washer 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 -

1. Load the dishwasher. See the "Loading
Your Dishwasher" section. 6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the
_ dishwasher until water is hot.
Turn off water.
2. Spin the spray arm. It should turn freely.
3. Add detergent. See the "Using the
Dispensers" section.
4. Add rinse agent, if needed.
7. Press the desired Cycle and Option
_ elections. (See the "Setting
the controls" section,)
NOTE: Select Air Dry for the
Rinse & Hold cycle,
8. Turn the Cycle Control knob clockwise to
_, the desired cycle. You will
feel a definite "stop" at each
cycle mark. The dishwasher
automatically starts the cycle
you select.
NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear
the cycles start and stop as the control
knob passes each cycle mark. This is
normal and does not hurt the dishwasher.
If you prefer, you can set the Cycle
Control knob with the door unlatched.
5. Close door firmly until it latches.
You can stop your dishwasher anytime
during a cycle. All you have to do is:
,, Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling
or spraying action to stop before opening
the door all the way. Close the door to
continue the cycle.
OR
• Turn the Cycle Control knob slowly clock-
wise until you hear water draining.
Let the dishwasher drain completely. Then
open the door and turn the Cycle Control
knob to Off.

• To save water and energy, do not rinse
dishes before putting them into the
dishwasher.
,, Remove large pieces of food, bones, and
other hard items.
,, Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked
cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry
over a period of time. Run a Rinse & Hold
cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not
plan to wash them soon.
• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the
rotating spray arm.
• Load dishes so they are not stacked or
overlapping. It is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best
washing. For best drying, water must be
able to drain from all surfaces.
Loading for quiet operation
•Secure lightweight load items in the racks.
,, Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., should not touch interior
walls, interfere with the spray arm's
rotation, or cover the spray tower.
,, Load dishes so they do not touch
one another.
NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain
plugs inserted during dishwasher operation
to prevent noise transfer through drains.
*Load the silverware basket while it is in Style 1
the dishwasher or take the basket out for
loading on a counter or table.
Style 2
• Mix items in each section of the basket
with some pointing up and some down
to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach
nested items.
iMPORTANT: Always load sharp items
(knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing down.
,, Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,
etc.) in any section.
• You can also remove the basket for easy
unloading. Always unload or remove the
basket before unloading the racks to avoid
spilling water on the silverware.

•Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between
prongs and facing inward to the spray.
,, Make sure pot handles and other items do
not stop rotation of the spray arm. Spray
arm must move freely.
,, Load items so they do not block or cover
the spray tower.
° Load heavily soiled cookware face down
in rack.
,, Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water
spray must reach all soiled surfaces for
best results.
Utensil load
" Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other
large items at sides and back. Loading
such items in front may keep water spray
from reaching detergent dispenser and
silverware basket.
NOTES:
° Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items
in the bottom rack.
" Do not load items between the bottom rack
and the dishwasher tub. This can block the
water inlet opening.

Use automatic dishwashing detergent
only. Other detergents are too mild and
much too sudsy.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry
place. Fresh automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better cleaning.
Filling the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one section
with a cover and one without. Push cover
down firmly until it latches. Detergent in the
open section falls into the dishwasher when
closing the door. The covered section opens
automatically for the main wash.
NOTE: It is normal for the cover to open
partially when dispensing detergent.

i!
Use only covered Use both sections for:
section for: - Normal Wash
- Light Wash - Pots -N- Pans
How much detergent to use
• The amount of detergent to use depends
on the hardness of your water and the type
of detergent. If you use too little, dishes
won't be clean. If you use too much in soft
water, glassware will etch.
,, Different brands of dishwasher detergent
have different amounts of phosphorus for
softening water. If you have hard water
and use low phosphorous content deter-
gent (6.0% or less), you may need to use
more detergent or use a detergent with a
higher phosphorous content (8.7%).
• Find out your water's hardness by asking
your local water department, water soft-
ener company, or county extension agent.

Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a
liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent greatly
improves dish drying by helping water
flow off during the last rinse. A rinse
agent also keeps water from forming
droplets and drying as spots or streaks.
A small amount of rinse agent automatically
releases into the rinse water during the final
rinse of each cycle. For best drying
results, check dispenser periodically to
see if it needs filling.
To check dispenser:
•Check center of Fill Indicator cap. Clear
means it needs filling.
OR
• Remove Fill Indicator cap. An "E" is visible
when dispenser is empty.
To fill dispenser:
The rinse agent dispenser holds 6 ounces
(175 mL). Under normal conditions, this
lasts about 3 months.
1. Open dishwasher door completely.
2. Remove Fill Indicator cap.
3. Add rinse agent. Fill to smallest opening
in lower part of dispenser only. Overfilling
may cause rinse agent to leak out. This
will not harm the dishwasher, but could
cause oversudsing.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with
a damp cloth.
5. Replace Fill Indicator cap. Keep it
closed tightly.
NOTE: You do not have to wait until the
dispenser is empty before refilling, but do
not overfill it. Your dishwasher is designed
to use a liquid rinse agent. You do not need
to use a solid or bar-type rinse agent.
