a++safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbo+ alerts you to hazards that can k+++or hurt you and others.
All safety messages wi+lbe 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
foltow instructions.
All safety messages wi++identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
UMPORTANT SAFETY UNSTRUCTUONS
WARNING: When using the 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 rec+
ommendations.
®Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
®Do not operate the dishwasher unless 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 pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used for
two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
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 min-
utes. 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+

®AnULTRAWASHSensorthatmonitorsthesoillevelin
thewashloadandadjuststhecycleaccordingly,
Here's how the ULTRA WASH Soil Remova_
System works:
1. When you load the dishwasher, all you need to do is
remove bones, large chunks, or burned-on food. Any
remaining food will be ground up and disposed.
2. Hot water fills the dishwasher to a level near the bot-
tom of the overfill protector.
3. While the water is heated, the Water Heating indicator
on the control panel glows and the cycle time on the
electronic display holds.
4. When the water reaches the proper temperature, the
Water Heating indicator turns off and the cycle time
countdown resumes.
5. Detergent is added at the correct times from the deter-
gent dispenser, and hot water is pumped through the
ULTRA WASH pump.
6. Food particles are removed from dishes, pots and
pans, tableware, and cutlery as the dishwasher sprays
a mixture of hot water and detergent through two
spray arms against their soiled surfaces.
7. Food soil in the dishwasher is held in an accumulating
chamber so it does not recirculate into the dishwasher.
8. Water is pumped again through the ULTRA VVASH
pump to remove soil particles from the water, and
"hold" them in the accumulating chamber El.
9. Soil in the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal System is dis-
posed down the drain with the wash water FI.
10. Fresh, hot water enters the dishwasher, sprays on the
dishes to rinse them, and the rinse water is pumped
through the ULTRA WASH System to remove any
remaining soil.
11. Soil that is held in the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System is disposed down the drain with the
rinse water.
12. Final rinse water is heated and a rinse agent is added
to prepare the dishes for drying.
How the ULTRA WASH Sensor adjusts
the cycle:
®When the Sensing indicator light on the control panel
glows, the ULTRA WASH Sensor is measuring the
amount of soil in the dishwasher.
,_Once the soil level is determined, the dishwasher skips
any unnecessary portions of the cycle. The cycle count-
down display is adjusted automatically.
®For lighter soil loads, the dishwasher will use fewer
water exchanges and shorten the cycle time. Example:
A 90-minute Normal cycle with a light soil level adjusts
to a 70-minute Normal cycle (including dry time).

Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher untimcompmeteJy
installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
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.
GROUNDUNG UNSTRUCTUONS
®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 dishwasher 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.
WARNUNG: 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 Headon the dishwasher.

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller
items. (See recommended loading patterns below.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings below.
®Load correctly for best washing results. Incorrect load-
ing may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all
or part of the load.
o Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dishwasher uses
the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully
loaded machine.
o To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
Remove large pieces of food, fruit pits, bones, and
other hard items. The ULTRA WASH* module wiii
remove food particles from the water. The module con-
tains a chopping device which wiii reduce the size of
food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg
shells enter the ULTRA WASH module, you might hear
chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds.
Those sounds are normal when hard items enter the
module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle
screws) get into the ULTRA WASH module. They could
damage the ULTRA W/ASH module.
o Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cere-
als may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a
period of time. Run a Quick Rinse cycle to keep dishes
moist if you do not plan to wash them soon.
o Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the rotating
spray arms.
®Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if
possible. 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 aii surfaces.
10 place setting
12 place setting
® Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
o Load glasses in top rack only - bottom rack is not
designed for glasses. Damage may occur.
® Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs.
Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.
® Secure lightweight items.
o China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch
each other during dishwasher operation. Damage
may occur.
® Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic
items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.
o Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not
move them during the cycle.
® To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other
items.
® Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in
the top rack.

Utensil basket
Use this extra capacity basket on the top rack to hold
spatulas, wooden spoons, and similar items.

This basket fits in the top rack. Use it to hold small items
that could otherwise "fly" around inside the dishwasher
during a cycle.
12 Place setting
®Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the
bottom rack.
,_Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and fac-
ing inward to the spray.
,_Overlap edges of plates for large loads.
®Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
,_Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop
rotation of the upper or lower spray arm. The spray
arms must move freely.
Fold-down dividers
Fold-down dividers at the back of the rack can be low-
ered to make room for deep bowls, roasters, and other
large items.

®Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack
or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: You can remove the basket for easy unloading.
Always unload or remove the basket before unloading
the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silver-
ware.
+ Place small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc.) in a
section with a hinged cover. Close the cover over the
section to hold small items in place.
+ 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, skew-
ers, forks, etc.) pointing down.
+ You can separate the two small baskets from the large
basket and position the small baskets elsewhere in the
upper or lower rack.
To remove a small basket:
1. Hold the center basket with one hand, and one of the
small baskets with the other hand.
2. Slide the small basket to release tabs from
corresponding slots.
3. Pull baskets apart.
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
+ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in
the racks.
®Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with
the spray arm's rotation.
®Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher
operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

+ Use automatic dishwashing detergent onmy.Other
detergents are too mild and much too sudsy+
®Add detergent just before starting cycle.
+ Store tightly closed detergent 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 the cover down firmly until it latch-
es. Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher
when closing the door. The covered section opens auto-
matically for the main wash. It is normal for the cover to
open partially when dispensing detergent.
NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with two washes.
Use only the covered section for cycles with one wash.
See the cycles chart for more details.
Cover Cover match
Main wash section Pre+wash section
+ 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.
+ Find out your water's hardness by asking the water softener department in your local Sears store or your local water
department.

A rinse agent greatly improves dish drying and helps pre-
vent spots or streaks. The rinse agent helps water flow off
dishes and keeps water from forming droplets. A small
amount of rinse agent automatically releases into the final
rinse water.
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with aliquid
rinse agent. For best drying results, periodically check
the dispenser as follows to see if it needs filling:
o Check center of rinse aid indicator cap II1 . Clear
means it needs filling.
OR
o Remove rinse aid indicator cap. An "E" is visible at the
bottom of the dispenser when empty [] .
To fill dispenser:
1. Open dishwasher door completely.
2. Remove rinse aid indicator cap.
3. Add rinse agent []. Fiii only to smallest opening in
lower part of dispenser. Overfilling may cause rinse
agent to leak ouL This wiii not harm the dishwasher,
but could cause oversudsing.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
5. Replace rinse aid indicator cap. Keep it closed tightly.
NOTES:
o Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse agent.
Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse agenL
®The rinse agent dispenser holds 6 ounces (175 mL).
Under normal conditions, this lasts about 8 months.
®You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty
before refilling, but do not overfill iL
{
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and
helps dry, glasses spot-free. For best dishwashing results,
water must be at bast 120°F (49°C) as it enters the
dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water
temperature is too low.
NOTE: Use the Water Heat option on your dishwasher if
you keep your water heater at a low setting. The time
showing on the electronic display pauses while water is
heating. For more information, see "Dishwasher seems to
run too long" in the "Troubleshooting Guide" section.
To check water temperature:
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
for at bast 1 minute.
2. Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer placed in the running stream of water[] .
3. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F
(49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's
thermostat setting.

Cleaning the exterior
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge
and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the
outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean II1
C_eaning the interior
Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build up on
the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
To clean interior:
®Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a damp
sponge to make a paste.
OR
®Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean
with damp sponge I1.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.
Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser
other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause
foaming or sudsing.

Moving or winterizing your dishwasher
Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage
due to freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a
seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing
temperatures, have a qualified person do the following:
1. Disconnect power supply to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off water supply to the dishwasher.
3. Remove the 4 screws on the lower access panel and
remove the lower access panel II1
4. Place a shallow pan under the water supply valve.
Then, use a wrench to disconnect the water inlet from
the water supply valve. Separate the water inlet from
the water supply valve and drain water into the pan I1.
5. Remove the spring clamp from the water outlet and
separate from the water supply valve; drain water
into pan.
6. Reconnect both water inlet and water outlet to the
water supply valve.
7. Empty the pan and reposition it under the water pump.
8. Remove the clamp and disconnect the drain hose
from the water pump; drain water into pan.
9. Reconnect drain hose to the water pump, being sure
to position the clamp over the connection.
10. Replace the lower access panel.
Reconnecting your dishwasher
1. Remove the 4 screws on the lower access panel and
remove lower access panel.
2. Turn on the water supply to dishwasher.
3. Turn on power supply to dishwasher.
4. Run dishwasher through a complete cycle and check
for leaks.
5. Replace lower access panel.
NOTE: If your dishwasher is connected to a garbage dis-
posal, do not run water into the sink after winterizing.
This could cause water to refill the drain hose on your
dishwasher.
Storing for the summer
