CareTroubleshooting
When using your 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/wetting agents recommended for use in
a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
•When loading items to be washed:
•Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door
seal.
•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.
•Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential
fire hazard.
•Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
•Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
WARNING/GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 appliance is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug if provided with the appliance. If the
plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:
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 electric current. If this appliance 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.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance 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 appliance.

Care Troubleshooting
•Do not tamper with controls.
•Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher door, or dish racks.
•To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a
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 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
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
•Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of
unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts.
All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using
only original equipment factory replacement parts.
•Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
•Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is
operating.
•Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line or plug,
and do not plug the dishwasher into a damaged outlet. Failure to
observe these instructions may result in electrical shock.
•This manual does not cover every possible condition or situation that
may occur.
•Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an
old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
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.

through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.
The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then
pumped through the multiple filters and spray arms. Soil particles are
separated from the water and go down the drain as the water is pumped
out and replaced with clean water.
The number of water fills will vary depending on the cycle selected.

packaging or during installation. See the “Clean Filters” section.
2. Add Rinse Aid. See “Proper Use of Rinse Aid.”
USING YOUR NEW DISHWASHER
NOTE: To decrease cycle time and possibly improve performance, turn on
the hot water faucet nearest to the dishwasher until the water runs hot.
Turn off the water.
