Your dishwasher, illustrated below, cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water, and detergent against
the soiled surfaces of your dishes and tableware. Each cycle starts with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher
fills with water to a level even with the heating element. This water is constantly pumped through the rotating
spray arm and center wash tower and sprayed onto the dishes. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced
with clean water during a cycle. The number of water fills depends upon the cycle being used.

It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting
them into the dishwasher. Just remove large
pieces and quantities of food, bones, pits, etc.
Empty glasses and cups. It may be necessary to
presoak or lightly scour firmly cooked-on or
baked-on foods.
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 rinse off these food soils.
• Load dishes facing the center of the rack so
that the water spray from the rotating spray
arm and center wash tower can reach soiled
surfaces.
• Be sure large items do not block the detergent
dispenser, preventing it from opening during
the wash cycle.
• To be sure an item is dishwasher safe, read
the manufacturer's care instructions.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
be sure disposer is completely empty
before dishwasher is started.
• To save energy, wash full loads.
• For best washing results, load correctly and
avoid overloading.

The detergent dispenser has one covered and one

falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed.
The covered cup opens automatically to release
detergent.
• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents will cause
oversudsing.
• When using automatic dishwashing detergent
tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and
close.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist

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 filming or
spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water
can cause a permanent film called etching. Your
local water company, water softener company or
county extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.

*Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve

of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent
to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

Water pressure should be between 20 and 120
pounds per square inch. Low water pressure
occurs most often during periods of high water
consumption, such as when laundry or showers
are being done. To determine if you have enough
water pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher.
It should fill in less than 14 seconds. Be sure all
other faucets are turned off during test.

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher should
be 120°F to give satisfactory results. Improved
performance may be obtained by raising water
temperature to 140°F. Water temperature should
not exceed 160°F. Check your water heater for
proper temperature.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher,
turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for
several minutes to clear cool water from water
pipes. Place a glass under faucet and use a candy
or meat thermometer to check temperature of the
water collected.
If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a
qualified person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.
Do not operate the dishwasher during or just after
other heavy use of hot water, such as laundry or
bathing.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot
water through faucet to clear cool water from
pipe.

Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and
reduces water spots and filming. Water
“sheets” off 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 by rotating the
dial to a higher number. The dial is located
under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be
dark when full and will show clear when it is
time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4
turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse
aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level.
Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause
oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.

An electrical supply of 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amps is required. For
your safety, the dishwasher must be grounded. If there is a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce risk of electrical shock. This dishwasher
has a power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a
mating 3-prong grounding type receptacle, installed and grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and any local codes and
ordinances.

Dishes not clean—Check pages 5 to 9 for
information on correct wash cycle, proper loading,
water temperature, water pressure, hard water,
amount of detergent, old and ineffective detergent,
and dish placement.
Dishes not drying can be greatly improved
by using a rinse aid and very hot water. Hot water
raises temperature of dishes to speed up drying.
When loading, invert cups and bowls so that water
can run off. Avoid nesting of articles. If dishes are
not completely dry at end of cycle (which may
occur when NO HEAT DRY setting is used), open
door, roll out racks, and allow dishes to air dry.
Spotting—Spots form when hard water
droplets evaporate leaving a deposit. Low
phosphate detergents increase the problem in
hard water. To prevent, use hot water and a
detergent with a higher level of phosphates
(preferably 8.7% or higher), or use more of a low
phosphate detergent. Be sure to use a rinse aid. If
water is very hard, it may be necessary to install a
water softener. Load glasses and plates so they
have minimum contact with racks and pins. Avoid
overloading. Spotting will occur where dishes and
glasses touch.
Cloudy films and streaking are usually
caused by a combination of hard water and an
insufficient amount of detergent. Low phosphate
detergents are also a factor. To correct, increase
amount of detergent, check water temperature
and always use a rinse aid. If water is very hard, it
may be necessary to install a water softener.
Etched film on glassware is caused by
using too much detergent in soft or softened
water. This film cannot be removed. It is more
likely to occur on soft leaded glass or expensive
crystal. An early warning of this condition is a
cloudy iridescent appearance on glasses. To
prevent, be sure dishwasher is getting a full fill of
water. Water should reach base of heating
element. If water level is low, have water pressure
checked by a plumber. Use less detergent and
make sure water temperature is not higher than
150°F (66°C). Underload to assure thorough
rinsing. Use the NO HEAT DRY option.
Chipped dishes and glasses can result
from rough handling and improper loading. Do not
put glasses in direct contact with other items.
Place glasses securely against pins.
Crazing of older china and pottery
happens when items are subjected to very hot
water. Once crazing (fine cracks in the glaze)
appears, it cannot be removed. Do not machine
wash again or condition may worsen.
Coffee and tea stains can occur when
water contains traces of iron. To avoid stains,
rinse cups out immediately after use. Increase
amount of detergent and use a rinse aid. Water
temperature should be approximately 140°F
(60°C). If problem persists, install a water softener
with an iron removal unit. To remove stains, hand
wash cups in solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach
and a quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
Gray-black stains on dishes are caused
by manganese in water supply. To correct, install
a manganese filtering system into house water
supply.
Reddish-brown stains on dishes,
glasses and interior are caused by iron in
water. To avoid iron stain, increase detergent, use
water heated to approximately 140°F (60°C) and a
rinse aid. It may be necessary to install a water
softener with an iron removal unit. To improve
appearance, use a commercial rust and lime scale
remover.
Plastic items can lose their shape due to high
temperatures of automatic dishwashing. Read
labels before washing. Place washable items in
top rack away from heating element.
Discoloration of plasticware by some
foods, such as tomato sauce, can stain
plasticware. If stained, soak item in solution of 1
tablespoon dishwasher detergent and a quart of
hot water or in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml)
bleach and a quart of hot water.
Fading of patterns and metallic trim is
due to many washings, detergent and hot water.
Most of today's china is dishwasher safe. Antique,
handpainted china, and handpainted pottery
should be washed by hand.

Do not place silver next to or touching
stainless steel utensils in dishwasher silverware
basket. This can cause pitting of stainless steel
blades. (Most silver knives have stainless steel
blades. Do not let blades touch other stainless
steel utensils during wash cycle.)
Tarnish on silver plate occurs when worn
down to the base metal and turns a bronze color
when exposed to hot water and detergent.
Remove bronzing by soaking item in vinegar for
10 minutes or use a silver polish. For permanent
protection, have silver replated.
Silver tarnish can be caused by prolonged
contact with air or with foods containing sulphur
like eggs, mayonnaise, or seafood. Contact with
undissolved detergent can also cause tarnish. To
prevent this, rinse silver soon after use. Use care
not to pour detergent directly onto silver. Remove
tarnish with a silver polish.
Discoloration of stainless steel—Food
soil can create a film or discoloration. To avoid,
rinse stainless items promptly. Food soil films can
be removed with a stainless steel cleanser or mild
cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.
Pitting of stainless steel is caused by
prolonged contact with detergent granules and
foods like salt, mayonnaise, fruits, butter or milk.
To prevent, rinse soon after use. Do not allow
detergent to fall directly onto stainless steel items.
Discoloration of aluminum—Anodized
(colored) aluminum cannot withstand machine
washing. Resulting loss of color is permanent.
Other aluminum may darken when machine
washed. To decrease chance of discoloration, do
not place aluminum directly beneath detergent
dispenser. To brighten darkened items, scour with
soap filled steel wool pads. For severely darkened
pans, simmer an acidic food or a solution of 2
teaspoons (10 ml) cream of tartar per quart (1 L)
of water for 1/2 hour. Scour with soap filled steel
wool pad, rinse and dry.
Knife handles become loose when the
cement is exposed to very hot water. Test wash a
single knife for several weeks. Damaged knives
should be professionally re-cemented.

Noise problems?
It is normal to hear swishing and pulsating sounds.
These sounds mean that water is circulating
through the dishwasher.
It is normal to hear motor sounds before water
enters tub.
Loud ticking usually means something is hitting
wash arm. See Preparing and Loading Dishes.
Vibrating or rattling sounds can mean dishes are
touching each other. See Preparing and Loading
Dishes.
Operating problems?
Be sure door is firmly closed. It is normal for
dishwasher to pause between cycles.
Leaking?
Check for items sticking out of dishwasher that
could prevent door from closing and sealing
properly. Use only fresh dishwashing detergent to
avoid oversudsing.
Water coming through door vents? When a dish is
added after starting dishwasher, wait a few
seconds before latching door. This permits
entering cold air to expand slowly inside
dishwasher.
Dishes not dry?
Check to see if rinse aid dispenser needs refilling.
Hot water temperature may be too low
(min. 120°F 49°C). If NO HEAT DRY option is
being used, additional drying time may be required
with door open.
Water in tub?
A small amount of water in bottom of tub is
normal. It keeps water seal lubricated.
Detergent left in cup?
Detergent may be too old. Discard old detergent.
Use fresh detergent.
Dishes may not be loaded properly. Be sure items
do not protrude from front of bottom rack
preventing detergent cup from opening.
Before calling for service, review this list. It may save
you both time and expense. This list includes
common experiences that are not the result of
defective workmanship or material.

Los platos no necesitan ser enjuagados antes de ser
colocados en el lavavajillas. Solo tiene que limpiar
los pedazos grandes de alimentos, huesos, pepitas,
etc. Vacíe los líquidos de los vasos y tazas. Los
alimentos quemados o encostrados pueden
necesitar un remojo o un frotado ligero.
Los alimentos tales como la mostaza, la mayonesa,
el vinagre, el jugo de limón y los productos a base
de tomate pueden causar una decoloración del
acero inoxidable y del plástico si se dejan sin
limpiar durante algún tiempo. A menos que vaya a
poner el lavavajillas en funcionamiento de
inmediato, es mejor enjuagar estos alimentos.
• Coloque los platos mirando hacia el centro de la
rejilla para que el rocío de agua que sale del
brazo giratorio de lavado y la torre central
puedan llegar hasta las superficies sucias.
• Asegúrese de que los artículos grandes no
bloqueen el dispensador del detergente,
evitando que se abra durante el ciclo de lavado.
• Para asegurarse de que un artículo puede
lavarse en el lavavajillas, lea las instrucciones
del fabricante.
• Si el lavavajillas se vacía en un eliminador de
alimentos, asegúrese de que el eliminador
está completamente vacío antes de poner el
lavavajillas en funcionamiento.
• Para ahorrar energía, lave cuando tenga una
carga completa.
• Para obtener los mejores resultados de lavado,
llene el lavavajillas correctamente y evite
sobrecargarlo.
