WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precauons, including the following:
■Read all instrucons before using the dishwasher.
■Use the dishwasher only for its intended funcon.
■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 plasc items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plasc items not
so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendaons.
■Do not touch the heang element during or immediately
aer 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, lid, 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 condions, 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 ow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during
this me.
■Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Kenmore Elite 2013 Tall Tub Stainless Steel Dishwasher n 1-3
Before Using Your Dishwasher
• Install where dishwasher is sheltered from the elements.
Avoid possible rupture of ll valve from freezing. Such
ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See “Storing”
secon for winter storage informaon.
• Install and level dishwasher on a oor that will hold the
weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.
• Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors
(such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See
Installaon Instrucons or complete informaon.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher: The dishwasher
must be grounded. In the event of a malfuncon 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.
WARNING: Improper connecon of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or service representave
if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
dishwasher; if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied 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 lead on the dishwasher.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.

Door Spring Adjustment
1. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
2. Remove the dishwasher from the installaon.
3. With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it
from pping, open and close the door a few mes. IF the
door closes or falls open under its own weight, the door
tension will need to be adjusted.
4. To adjust the door spring tension, unhook the spring from
the rear leg of dishwasher. See gure 1.
5. Using a 5/16” nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw
from the tensioner.
6. The screw can be put into one of 3 holes (1, 2, 3) in the
front leg of dishwasher, see gure 1. If the door closes by
itself, move the tensioner to a lower-numbered hole and
replace screw.
7. Reaach door spring to rear leg.
NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be
secured at same holes.
Water Inlet and Drain Hose

To adjust the door spring tension, unhook the spring from the rear
leg of dishwasher.
Using a ⁵⁄₁₆" nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw from the
tensioner.
The screw can be put into one of 3 holes (1, 2, 3) in the front leg of
dishwasher. If the door closes by itself, move the tensioner to a
lower-numbered hole and replace screw. Reattach door spring to
rear leg.
NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured
at same holes.
When door is unlatched, if door opens by itself, move the
tensioner to a higher-numbered hole and replace the screw.
Reattach door spring to rear leg.
NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured
at same holes.
IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor when
moving the dishwasher. Slowly move dishwasher completely into
cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch water line, drain hose,
power supply cord or direct wire between dishwasher and
cabinet. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher.
NOTES:
■It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do
not remove insulation blanket – the blanket reduces the sound
level.
■If using power cord, make sure to route end through hole in
cutout before sliding dishwasher into cabinet opening.
■For models with water softener, make sure that the drain hose
stays on the hanger that is on the right-hand side and is
tucked in on the side of the unit.
Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors.
You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets.
