START-UP
Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Consumer Reference Guide, as well as the User
Instructions. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.
Using Your Dishwasher
For all models:
1. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the
dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each filling
will last about 1 to 3 months depending on your usage.
2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)
from dishes. You do not need to prerinse your dishes.
3. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Loading.”) Load dishes
with space in between so water will reach the soiled surfaces.
Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning
freely.

4
4. Add detergent. Always use a high-quality brand detergent.
(See “Dishwasher Use” in the User Instructions.)
5. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water.
6. Press the desired cycle and option selections on the top, or
front, of the dishwasher door. (See “Cycles and Options.”)
For models KUDP01IL and KUDP01FL: Press START. Or
press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the
previous cycle. The selected cycle and option lights will flash
once.
NOTE: If the dishwasher is not started within 30 seconds after
selecting the cycle and options, it will revert to the last cycle
and options completed.
7. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically.
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher may vary from those
in the illustration below.
For Model KUDP01DL:
8. Press the Start pad on the front of the dishwasher door. Or
press the Start pad to repeat the same cycle and options as in
the previous cycle.
NOTE: If the dishwasher is not started within 30 seconds after
selecting the cycle and options, it will revert to the last cycle
and options completed.
IMPORTANT:
■When the cycle starts, you will see a rotating pattern of lights
in the display window indicating that the unit is operating.
This pattern will continue for up to 6 minutes while the multiple
sensors check the incoming water temperature, rinse aid
usage and soil level on dishes and cookware. The sensors
then determine the ideal cycle for your dish load. After sensing
is complete, the display will show the number of minutes left
in the cycle and the cycle countdown will begin.
■The cycle countdown pauses and the water heating light
glows while the dishwasher heats the water to a set
temperature. (See “Cycle Selections.”)
LOADING
Top Rack
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.
Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See
recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
■Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
■Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is
not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.

■Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing
them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
■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.
■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. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
FLEXI-FOLD DOWN™ flexible tines
The row of tines on the left-hand side of the top rack can be
adjusted to make room for a variety of dishes.
To adjust the flexible tines
1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently push the tine out of the holder.
3. Lay the tines down, toward the center of the rack.
SURE-HOLD®light item clips
The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items such as cups,
lids, or bowls in place during washing.
To move a clip
1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.
2. Reposition the clip on another tine.
SURE-HOLD®utility shelf
Fold down the extra shelf on the left-hand or right-hand side of
the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such
as utensils and spatulas.
Bottom Rack
The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and
utensils. Many items, up to 13" (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack.
(See recommended loading patterns shown.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the
drawings shown.
■Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack.
Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in
place.
■Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.
■Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.
■Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of
ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls
securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls
because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
