i l Isnot used by children or anyone unable to operate it properly,
l Is properly maintained.
Important safety instructions
l Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
. DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED. See “Electrical Connection”
on page 14 for details.
l Be sure your dishwasher is located on a
level floor that will hold the weight, and in
an area suitable for its size and use.
l When discarding an old dishwasher, al-
ways remove the door to prevent acciden-
tal entrapment.
l REMEMBER,use your dishwasher only for the
job it was designed to do.
l Store dishwasher detergent in a cool, dry
place WHERECHILDREN CAN’T REACH IT.
l Use ONLY detergents and rinse aids recom-
mended for use in a dishwasher.
l Locate sharp items and knives so that they
are not likely to damage door seal or cut
the user.
l DO NOT let children play in or on the
dishwasher.
l DO NOT reach into the area below the bot-
tom rack until the heating element has
cooled for at least 20 minutes.
l DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked
“Dishwasher Safe” or the equivalent. If not

mendations.
l DO NOT use your dishwasher unless all en-
closure panels are properly in place.
l DO NOT sit on, stand on or abuse the dish-
washer door or dish racks.
l DO NOT tamper with controls.
l If hot water has not been used recently
(usually two weeks or longer), hydrogen
gases may build up in the water heater
and the hot water pipes. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or
damage, before using your dishwasher,
turn on all hot water faucets and allow
water to run for several minutes. This will
allow gases to escape. Do not smoke or

For Best Results
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mix-
ture of hot, clean water and detergent against
soiled surfaces of dishes. When a cycle is
started, the dishwasher fills with waterto about
the level of the heating element. This water is
pumped through the rotating spray arms,
drained through the filter system which re-
moves food and soil, and pumped back
through the rotating spray arms. Soiled water
is pumped out and replaced with clean water
during a cycle-the number of times depends
on the cycle being used.
,._1,.I
’ The self-cleaning filtering system and
removable pump guard help eliminate pre-
rinsing by removing food particles from the
The filtering system
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove
large pieces and quantities of food and bones.
The filtering system helps keep food particles
out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed
away as water is pumped out. Larger particles
are trapped in the pump guard.
To remove the pump guard for cleaning...
1. Walt at least 20 minutes after a cycle for
the heating element to cool down.
2. Unload and remove the bottom rack.
Temperature
Quiet operating tips
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face pow-
erful spray from rotating arms.
3. Press the outside wall of the pump guard at
the center to release the latch.
4. Lift out and rinse clean.
To replace the pump guard...
1. Insert pump guard legs [on inside wall) into
matching openings in filter screen.
2. Press down on outside wall until latch snaps
into place.
3. Replace bottom rack with rack bumpers in
front.
Water must be hot
For best cleaning and drying resufts, water should be at least
140°F (60°C).
1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run
until it is as hot as possible.
2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the stream of hot water
to measure the temperature.
3. If the temperature is too low, have a qualified person raise
the water heater thermostat setting.
To avoid thumping and clattering noises during
operation:
l Make sure lightweight load items are secured
in the rack.
or interfere with either of the spray arms
rotation.
l Load dishes so they don’t touch one another.
l Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans,
cookie sheets, etc. do not touch interior walls

Proper loading
Always load dishes so soiled surfaces are reached by spray from rotating spray arms.
Water must be able to drain off completely for best drying results. Be careful to separate
items so spray can reach all surfaces.
Top rack loading
UP AND GLASS LOAD
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses
and smaller items.
l Place so open ends face down for clean-
ing and draining.
l load glasses in top rack only. Bottom
rack is not designed for glasses. Damage
may occur.
l Place items in the rows between prongs.
Placing them over the prongs can lead
to breakage.
l Be sure lightweight items are held firmly
in place.
l China, crystal and other delicate items
must not touch each other during dish-
washer operation. Damage may occur.
UTENSIL LOAD
l Load plastic items only in the top rack.
Only plastic items marked “dishwasher
safe” are recommended.
l Plastic items can be melted in the bottom
rack.
l Small bowls, pans and other utensils can
be placed in the top rack.
l Items with cooked-on or dried-on foods should be loaded in the bottom rack with
soiled surfaces facing the spray.
5

Bottom rack loading
l Place plates, soup bowls, etc., between
prongs and facing the spray.
l Make sure pot handles and other items do
not stop rotation of either the upper or lower
spray arm. Spray arms must move freely.
l Load items so they do not block or cover
the spray tower.
l Securely place heavily soiled cookware
face down in rack.
l Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other
large items at sides or back. Loading
such items in front may keep water spray
from reaching detergent dispenser.
NOTE:
l Do not load glasses, cups or plastic items
in the bottom rack.
l When lower rack is removed, replace
with bumpers in front.
Silverware basket loading
Load the silverware basket while it’s in or
out of the bottom rack. The loaded basket
should be in the right front corner of the
bottom rack.
NO YES
Load forks and spoons so they don’t
nest together. Spray can’t reach nested
items.
Mix items in each section of the basket
with some pointing up and some down.
Small items - baby bottle caps, jar lids,
etc. - con be put in any section.

Adding detergent
The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of
getting your dishes clean. Read this section carefully.
Use automatic dish-
washer detergent only.
Other detergents are
too mild and much too
sudsy to work in the
dishwasher.
Different brands of
dishwasher detergent
have different amounts
of phosphorus. Phos-
phorus softens water and
helps prevent water
spots on dishes.
If water is hard and
phosphorus content is
low (6.0% or less), you
may need to use more
detergent or use a brand
with a higher phosphorus
content (8.7% or higher).
Do not add detergent
until you are ready to
wash. Fresh automatic
dishwasher detergent
is necessary for best
washing results. Store
detergent tightly closed
in a cool dry place.
L
PHOSPHORUS
The detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one section with
a cover and one without.
l Put detergent in both sections for cycles with
two washes.
l Put detergent in the covered section only for
cycles with one wash.
l Push the cover down
until it is latched.
Detergent in the open
section falls into the dish-
washer when the door is
closed. The covered sec-
tion opens automatically
when the main wash
starts.
NOTE: It is normal for cover to open partially
when dispensing detergent. The cover will open
fully when the door is opened.
Use covered section for... Use both
LIGHT Cycle sections for...
NORMAL Cycle
How much detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use
depends on the hardness of your
water. If too little is used, dishes won’t
be clean. However, if too much is
l HARD - Fill 1or both sections to top line
if water hardness is 8 or more grains
per gallon, or 136 or more parts per
million.
l MEDIUM - Fill 1or both sectio Ins to mid-
dle line if water hardness is 5 to 7 grains
per gallon, or 85 toll9 parts per million.
l SOFT - Fill 1or both sections to bottom
line if water hardness is 0 to 4 grains per
gallon, or 0 to 68 parts per million.

gin to etch.
Find out your water’s hardness by
asking your local water department,
water softener company or county
extension agent.

Energy saving tips
You can help save energy if you:
1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dish-
washer uses the same amount of electricity
and hot water as a fully loaded machine.
3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid
drying cycle. Allow longer drying times
(overnight).
\
2. Use the LIGHT WASH Cycle for normally
soiled loads. It uses less hot water and energy
than NORMAL WASH.
4.
5.
6.
load correctly for best washing results. In-
correct loading may cause poor washing
and the need to rewash all or part of the
load.
Don’t pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Se-
lect the correct cycle for the load and use
the recommended amount of detergent for
good washing results without hand rinsing.
Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours.
Local utilities recommend this to avoid
heavy usage of energy at certain times of
day.
7. Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and
efficiently through the use of your dishwasher.
Most appliance parts that can fit in the dish-
washer can be cleaned by it. Burned-on soil,
however, should be cleaned by hand.

Special tips on dishwasher use
Remember, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do.
Some items are not dishwasher safe or may require special care.
Read these special tips for the following items:
AhU’UiUUUl: Aluminum loses its bright, shiny appearance and darkens in color due to minerals in
the water and the alkalinity of the dishwasher detergent. Colored aluminum may fade.
TIPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid placing directly in front of detergent dispenser where
it could be sprinkled with undissolved detergent, causing spotting, pitting, and discoloration.
Follow utensil manufacturers’ cleaning instructions,
China: Hand-painted, metal-trimmed, and antique china fade due to high water temperatures
and alkaline detergent solution in the dishwasher. NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be
washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Load china carefully. Do not allow pieces to touch each other. Test one piece by washing it
daily in the dishwasher for several weeks. Then compare it with the rest of the set to see if colors
have changed.
Crystal and decorative &SSeS: Crystal can break from sudden exposure to high water
temperature. Metal trim and colorful decoration on glass will fade in time when washed in the
dishwasher. NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.
TIPS: Load crystal carefully in top rack only. Be sure to load a few larger items in the bottom rack
to reduce amount of force of water spray reaching glassware from lower spray arm. Use the
shortest cycle.
Flatware: salt-y and acidic foods may tarnish silver and stainless flatware if allowed to remain on
the utensils. A film may form on sterling silver and silver plate items washed in a dishwasher. This film is
caused by a reaction of silver with chlorine in the detergent. Gold flatware is not dishwasher safe.
The adhesive used in some flatware with hollow handles is not heat resistant, CCIUSing the handkS to
come off in the dishwasher, Wash by hand.
TIPS: Rinse flatware as soon as possible, especially if it is not to be washed right away. Dishwasher
detergent may remove antique finishes. Wash by hand. Tarnish and film build-up can be removed
with silver polish.
Cast iron utensils: The seasoned finish will be removed in the dishwasher. Rusting will result.
TIPS: Wash by hand, To re-season, coat with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for an hourortwo.
Plastics: Many plastics will have “Dishwasher Safe” written on them. Some plastics are heat
sensitive and may melt or warp.
TIPS: If in doubt, try one piece. Place in upper rack only. AIR DRY option provides additional
protection.
Non-stick finish utensils: Most can be washed in the dishwasher
TIPS: Follow manufacturers’ suggestions.
Wood: Many wooden items will crack and warp or lose their finish.
TIPS: Do not wash cutting boards, wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden handles in the
dishwasher.
Pewter Or pewter-like materials: May streak, discolor, and pit.
TIPS: To keep pewter at its very best, hand wash with mild detergent.
Dishwasher care & cleaning:
Exterior - Regular use of a soft damp
and a mild detergent is all that is net
to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and
clean. Interior - Hard water minerals may cause a
white film to build-up on the inside surfaces,
especially just beneath the door area.
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning
the dishwasher interior. Do not use
any type of cleanser other than :
dishwasher detergent because
it may cause foaming or sudsing.

2. Start dishwasher and unlatch door to stop it when it has
filled for the wash part of the cycle.
3. Add % to l/Z cup (120 to 240 mL) of citric acid crystals
[usually available in drugstores).
A. Close and latch door to complete cycle.
Permanent solution: Install an iron or manganese filter to
home water supply.
Rinse flatware that is to stand for several hours before
washing (use Rinse & Hold]. Clean stained items with silver
polish and re-wash. Do not put stalnless steel and sllver
tlatware In the same sllverware basket compartment.
