ERATE ON 115 VOLTS, 60 HERIZ
A.C. house current. They cannot be
converted to operate on 220 vohs, 50 hertz house
currc-n_.
FC)R SAFE FY'S SAKE . . . remove the door hinges
or [at(h mechanism if your dishwasher is dis-
(arded, or otherwise not in use. In California it is
a misdemeanor for anyone discarding the appli-
ance not to follow this safety procedure which
can save the lives of curious children at play.
A possibility exists that HYDROGEN GAS MAY
FORM IN AN UNUSED HOUSEHOLD WATER
HEATING SYSTEM (generally requires two weeks
or more). To prevent the remote possibility of in-
jury, we suggest opening the hot water faucet at
the sink before starting the dishwasher. I( hydro-
sen is present, there will probably be a sound
such as air escaping as the water begins to flow.
Avoid smoking or any open {lame near the faucet
while it is open.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTION: To protect against possible rupture of fin
valve, BE SURE water lines leading to the dishwasher
as well as water lines in the dishwasher are protected
against freezing. Such ruptures are not covered by
the warranty.
Operating Your Dishwasher
Step 1... Load dishes into racks according to in-
structions on pages 2 through 6.
Step 2... Add detergent to detergent dispenser--
page 7. Check rinse agent dispenser--
pa_e 8.
Step 3... Close and latch door.
Step 4... Push button for desired cycle -see page
9 for description of cycles. The rest is
automatic. The dishwasher will rinse,
wash and dry according to the cycle
selected and then turn itself off.
Loading Your Dishwasher
PREPARING THE LOAD
No hand rinsing is necessary. Scrape leftover food,
bones, toothpicks and other hard items from
dishes, silverware, pans, etc. Note: f)o not pre-
wash dishes with liquid detergent, a< this type de-
tergent wil! (ause sudsing in the dishwasher. Such
sudsing will _low wash arm and cause poor clean-
ingand/orspottingand filming on the dishes.
Certain dried-on foods are more difficult to re-
move if left to dry over a period of time. If dishes
are not going to be washed fairly soon after use,
run a Rinse & tSold Cycle. This cycle rinses most
of the soil from dishes and generally keeps them
moist until the next wash cycle is run.

Plates may be loaded front to ba_ k or side to side
as sho_'n.

6Loading Examples-Lower Rack
Plates may be loaded with pots, pans, and large Cereal bowls may be loaded in a variety of dif-
cook_ are. ferent ways depending on the shape of the bowls.
Silverware Basket
The silverware/cutlery basket is located at the
front of the l_wer rack and may be removed for
loading and unloading.
Silverware may be loaded with handles up,
down or mixed. Greater washing efficiency will be
obtained and nesting prevented by loading han-
dles in the down or mixed positions. Sharp uten-
sils should be loaded with handles up to prevent
possible user injury. Slim handle silverware should
always be loaded with handles up to prevent pro-
truding through the basket. This could cause pos-
sible damage to the silverware or dishwasher.
CORRECT LOADING
Do not leave food containing salt, vinegar, milk
products or fruit jui(eq on silver or stainless steel
silverware for long periods of time. Certain food
soils can damage the surface of the ware. See
Problem, Cause, Solution Chart, page 18.
Sterling silver and qilverplated silverware may
be dishwasher washed. It is a good idea to occa-
sionally buif the ware with a cloth as air drying
does not provide the buffing of hand towel drying.
Dishwasher detergentq will remove the black oxi-
dized (()ating found (_n some ornate silverware
!)attern_.
INCORRECT LOADING
The (utlery section, located in the front of the
basket, is to be u,,ed for long handled utensils and
long knives.
SMAH ITEMS BASKET
lhis basket is used for baby bottle nipples, corn
holders, nleasuring ',p )c n_ and other small items.
It can be placed in either dishwasher rack.

Always add detergent to dispenser just before
running the dishwasher. Detergent exposed to mois-
ture over a period of time may become caked and
ineffective. An open box of detergent will stay fresh
for about one month.
DOUBLE FILL is used for Low Energy Wash, Heavy
Wash and Sani Cycles. Check with chart to deter-
mine how much detergent to use. Place detergent
in MAIN WASH compartment as explained for a
Single Fill and also add detergent to left-hand,
PREWASH compartment. Close cover by rotating
it in a clockwise direction.
TRIPLE FILL is used for Pots/Pans Soak & Scrub
Cycle onlv. Check with chart to determine how
much detergent to use. Place detergent in both
compartments, as explained for a Double Fill, and
also place 2 Tablespoons in the indentation.
AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE
ALWAYS use at least one tablespoon of automatic
dishwashing detergent in Main Wash compart-
ment because there are ingredients in detergent
to help protect },'our dinnerware. The amount of
detergent needed depends on the amount of food
soil on dishes and hardness of water, tteavy soil
and/or hard water will generally require the addi-
tion of more detergent. See chart below for rec-
ommended amount of detergent to add to each
compartment.

LOW PHOSPHATE DETERGENTS
In some areas of the country, legislation requires
low-phosphate dishwasher detergents. In these
detergents, phosphorus content has been reduced
from a normal 12 to 13% to approximately 8.7%
or lower. (The percentage is printed on the box.)
With these detergents, you may find it neces+
_,arv to increase the amount of detergent used. In

soft water, reduced phosphate detergents should
give good cleaning results. However, in [lard
water, low-phosphate detergents will probably
cause an increase in spotting and filming, even
when you used additional detergent. Please see
page 16 for removing spots and film from glasses
and dinnerware.
WARNING: DISHWASHER DETERGENTS AND
RINSE AGENTS CAN BE HARMFUL IF TAKEN
INTERNALLY. FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, STORE DETER-
GENT AND RINSE AGENT ON AN UPPER SHELF
OUT OF CHILDREN'S REACH.

A liquid rinse agent, such as Jet Dry, may be pur-
chased at your local supermarket.
TO FILL tile automatic rinse agent dispenser, un-
screw the cap located to the ]eft of the detergent
dispenser. Tile reservoir holds 7 fluid ounces (207
mL) of rinse agent liquid, enough for a few months
supply. Replace cap after filling reservoir.

FILTRATION SYSTEM
The water in vour dishwasher is being continuously
filtered by a three part filtration system. The outside
filter (C) and the inside filter (D not shown) work
simultaneously to trap food soils and prevent them
from recirculating and redepositing on dishes. These
filters should not need cleaning under normal use,
but if necessary, the outside filter can be easily lifted
out for cleaning TO REMOVE the outside filter, lift

lower wash arm straight up. Lift filter out. TO RE-
PLACE, clip outside filter over the inside filter and
then replace wash arm. When replacing wash arm,
be sure that water holes are facing up as shown in
photo. If the outside filter needs frequent cleaning,
or if there is foodsoil remaining on dishware, check
underside of washarm for blockage of the single
outside filter spray nozzle (G) or the nine inside filter
spray nozzles (H). Clean out with a toothpick.

12 Energy Savings and Your Dishwasher
Your new Superba dishwasher has been designed
to maximize energy savings both in your dish-
washer and throughout your entire house.
The Superba dishwasher automatically heats the
first water fill on all wash cycles to approximately
140°F (60°C). This means that the home water heater
can be turned down to allow for 120°F (49°C) water
inside the dishwasher rather than 140°F (60°). Thus
saving 10% or more of your total household water
heating energy.
If water temperature is 120°F (49°C) in the dish-
washer tank, it will take approximately 15 minutes
to heat the first water fill to 140°F (60°C). Water tem-
peratures above 120°F (49°C) in the dishwasher will
shorten the cycle time and water temperatures below
120°F (49°C) will lengthen cycle time and possibly
decrease washing performance.
Further energy savings carl be achieved by using
the Energy Saver Dry Heat Off button. This fea-
ture turns "OFF" the external air heater used dur
ing the dry and allows the fan to (irculate the
warm air inside the tank.
FLASH DRYING
Because of the heat built-up in the dishes through-
out the wash cycle, dishes can be "Flash Dried."
Flash drying is a process where the water evap-
orates very quickly off the dishes. To do this, push
Cancel Cycle button shortly after dry light comes
on; when dry light goes out, open door and pull
out racks. NOTE: In hard water areas, flash drying
will increase the likelihood of spotting and filming
in the dishwasher.
USE ENERGY WISELY
The following tips will help maximize energy
savings using your KitchenAid dishwasher.
•Operate your dishwasher only when it is fully
loaded.
•Do not rinse dishes before loading the dish-
washer.
•Run the dishwasher at night during summer
months to reduce heat load during the day.
•Turn down home water heater to allow for
120 °F (49 °C) water coming in the dishwasher.
•Use the Energy Saver--Dry Heat Off button.
Convertible Portables
Convertibles are essentially built-in dishwashers
with portability features added. They must be
connected to the sink faucet and an electrical
outlet to operate.
FAUCET ADAPTER KIT
An adapter kit, furnished with your dishwasher has
an aerator faucet adapter with all parts necessary
to connect the coupler to most faucets with ex-
ternal or internal threads.
If the adapter cannot be used on your faucet,
other adapters may be obtained from your
KitchenAid dealer or distributor, a plumbing sup-
ply dealer or a hardware store.

Pull hoqes and coupler from hide-away com-
partment at the back of the dishwasher. Attach
coupler (G) to adapter (F) by depressing outer
ring (Hi. When adapter and coupler are joined,
release outer ring which snaps upward for snug
fit.
Step 3
Connect Power Cord to Grounded Outlet.
Your KitchenAid portable dishwasher operates on
regular 115-volt. 60 Hertz A.C. house current to be
supplied by a 3-PRONG GROUNDING RECEPTACLE
LISTED BY UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES. The
_ircuit used should be protected by a 1S-amp. fuse or
(ircuit breaker.
Caution: The use of an extension cord is not
recommended.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance 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 ele(tric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-ground-
ing conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in a(cordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified ele(lrician or service-
man if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Step 4
Close and latch door.
Push the desired cycle button and dishwasher will
start.
Please refer to Operating Instructions, page 2. If
dishwasher does not start, the timer may not have
reset itself after previous cycle. To reset, lift latch
and wait until you hear two clicks. Then latch door
and push desired cycle button.
Turn the hot water lap on full. Do not use any
cold water.

If hot water is needed while the dishwasher is
connected, press the red release button (I)-but
NOT when the dishwasher is filling or draining.
CAUTION: IF YOUR SINK HAS A SPRAY AT-
TACHMENT, IT MAY BURST AS A RESULT OF
BACK PRESSURE, PARTICULARLY IF IT IS OLD.
We suggest you disconnect the spray attachment
hose and (:lose the hole with a chrome plug or
cap which \ou can obtain at your local hardware
qore or plumber, or replace it with a new and
stronger hose that will withstand the back pres-
sure.
Step 5
When cycle iscomplete, disconnect the
dishwasher.
1. Before disconnecting power cord, lift latch to
reset timer. You will hear two clicks.
2. Disconnect power cord from outlet and return
to hide-away compartment,
3. Turn off hot water.
4. Press red button on coupler to release water
pressure and prevent splash back.
5. Depress coupler ring and remove couf)ler from
faucet adapter. Return hoses to hideaway corn
partment.
Once the dishwasher has performed its washing,
rinsing and final drain action, you may wish to
remove the coupler from the faucet for conven-
ient access to the water supply and sink area. To
make sure dishwasher has made the final drain,
wait a few minutes after you see the action in-
dicator light for the dry cycle turn on. Coupler

pier frum sink area if you run a Cancel Cycle as
water \',ill drain again at the end of this cycle. DO
NOT DISCONNECT POVVER CORD UNTIL CYCLE
IS COMPLETED.
CARE OF DISHWASHER TOP
The wood top is prefinished with a protective
lacquer seal. For daily care, wipe with a damp
cloth after using. To remove stubborn stains, let
dampened '-touring powder remain in contact
with the wood for three to five hours. Then wipe
away with a damp cloth.
After an extended period of use it may be neces-
sary to recondition the top. To recondition, lightly
sand off all remaining lacquer; saturate a clean
cloth with mineral oil and wipe on. Allow over-
night absorption. Repeat oil treatment the follow-
ing day and allow to stand four to six hours before
removing excess oil with soft, dry cloth. The top
is then ready for use. Repeat this treatment every
six to eight months as necessary.
CONVERTING TO A BUILT-IN
There are no additional parts needed to convert
your portable to a built-in dishwasher. Instruc-
tions were packaged with your dishwasher. If you
have misplaced these instructions, a new set may
be obtained by writing Customer Relations Dept.,
KitchenAid Division, Hobart Corporation, Troy,
OH, 45374.
