All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ■ For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher: The dishwasher 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. 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.

Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down. 2. Unload and slide the bottom rack forward. (Remove bottom rack if necessary to reach filter screen.) 4.
CONNECTING THE DISHWASHER Connecting the Faucet Adapter NOTE: A special adapter must be installed on the faucet before the dishwasher can be connected. Complete Installation Instructions and the adapter are packed with your dishwasher. (See the Installation Instructions.) When moving your dishwasher, make sure the door is latched. Hold the dishwasher at the top front corners. Preparing the faucet 1. Remove the screen holder or aerator, screen, and washer from the end of the faucet. 2.
Using the Faucet Disconnecting the Dishwasher You can draw water from the faucet while the dishwasher is connected. NOTE: Do not draw water while the dishwasher is filling or while water is being pumped out. (This helps avoid a low fill when dishwasher is filling or mixing drain water with fresh water when dishwasher is draining.) Press the red button on the hose connector to draw water from the faucet. (The faucet is set on hot. Adjust the faucet for the water temperature you want.
No-flip clips (on some models) Loading Top Rack The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items. (See recommended loading patterns shown.) NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown. The no-flip 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.
■ Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser and silverware basket. ■ Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack. ■ Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely. ■ Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet opening.
Where to fill Rinse Aid Dispenser Top of 3rd step (9 tsp or 45 mL) Top of 2nd step (6 tsp or 30 mL) IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes during the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Checking the dispenser Check the center of the fill indicator cap. Clear means it needs filling.
Dishwasher Efficiency Tips Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spotfree. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function.
Light Wash Use this cycle for china and crystal. This cycle uses a light wash and gentle dry. The Air Dry option is automatic with this cycle, and the heater is turned off. Use covered detergent dispenser section. Wash Rinse Rinse Main Wash Rinse Rinse Dry Time (min) Water Usage (gal/L) ● ● ● ● ● 79 5.8/22.0 Canceling a Cycle You can cancel a cycle at any time. 1. Turn the cycle control knob slowly clockwise until you hear water draining. Let the dishwasher drain completely. 2.

DISHWASHER CARE To clean interior Cleaning Cleaning the exterior In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended. Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean. OR Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.
TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call... ■ Dishwasher is not operating properly ■ Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models) Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber. Dishes do not dry completely ■ Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water drainage? Do not overload. Refer to the “Dishwasher Loading” section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying. NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white vinegar rinse.
