IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
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 plastic items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after
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 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.
Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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.
WARNING:
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 dishwasher is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified 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.
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.

Start-Up/Quick Reference
Clean EQ Wash System removable filters to maintain
peak performance
Cleaning the filters
periodically helps keep the
dishwasher working at peak
performance. The filters can
be found at the bottom center
of your dishwasher.
See “Filtration System”
section for information on
removing and maintaining
the filters.
Drying - Rinse Aid is essential
You must use a drying agent
such as a rinse aid for good
drying performance (sample
included). Rinse aid along with
the ProDry™ option will
provide best drying and avoid
excessive moisture in the
dishwasher interior.
For best drying use the
ProDry™ option.
Dispensers vary by model
Express Wash - When you need fast results.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water
and energy, just as driving a car slower saves
on gas. When you need fast results, the
Express Wash will clean your dishes using
slightly more water and energy. Select the
ProDry™ option to include automatic drying
(adds approximately 38 to 45 minutes to the
Express Wash cycle).

ProWash™ cycle for optimal cleaning
The most advanced and versatile cycle.
ProWash™ cycle senses the soil amount and
toughness of soil to adjust the cycle for
optimal cleaning using only the amount of
water and energy needed. The ProWash™
and Tough cycles are recommended for tough
soil. No need to pre-rinse dishes; just scrape
leftover food into the trash or disposal
and load.
ProScrub® Option to clean baked-on food
When the ProScrub®
option is selected, it
provides a
concentrated wash
on the back of the
lower dish rack for
hard-to-clean dishes.
Place these dishes
with the soiled
surface of the dish
toward the ProScrub®
spray jets in the lower
rack of the
dishwasher. A. Back of dishwasher
Press START/RESUME every time you add a dish
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such
as, to add a dish, even during the Delay
option), the Start/Resume button must be
pressed each time.
Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of
pressing START/RESUME. If the door is not
closed within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume
button LED will flash, an audible tone will be
heard, and the cycle will not start.
Proper Detergent Dosing
We recommend quality tablets and packs for convenience and
improved performance.
It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. This
can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Add Detergent” and
“Add Rinse Aid” in the “Dishwasher Use” section, to determine
the amount of detergent needed based on your water hardness.

7
Be sure that items in the rack do
not block the upper or lower
spray arms.
Make sure that when the
dishwasher door is closed no
items are blocking the detergent
dispenser.
Items should be loaded with
soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown.
This will improve cleaning and
drying results.
Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.
Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load
dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight
load items are secured in the racks.
Improper loading can cause dishes to be chipped or damaged.
When loading glasses or mugs, it is best to load these items in
between rows of tines instead of loading them over tines.
If you do not want to use the covers you can remove them.
Load the silverware with sharp items pointed down and avoid
“nesting” of spoons and forks by alternating some up and
some down.
Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid
or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry
place. We recommend tablets and packs for convenience and
improved performance.
Premeasured Detergents
Many detergents now come in several forms (gel packs, tablets, or
powder packs).
We recommend that you use high quality tablets or packs for
convenience and improved performance. High quality tablets and
packs have been proven better than powder, liquid or gel
detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs
over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. Also, by using
a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film. These
forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place
detergents in the main compartment and slide lid to close.
Powders and Gels
The amount of detergent to use depends on:
How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads
require more detergent.
The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware can etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)
[well water and some city water]
Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown if needed.

Follow instructions on the
package when using gel
dishwasher detergents.
Premeasured forms are
suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured
detergents in the main compartment and close the lid.
Add Rinse Aid (Dispenser varies by model)
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks
and interior of your dishwasher.
Select a Cycle
See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following
section.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is
approximately 2 hours, but can take less or more time to complete
depending on selections.
Select Options
See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following
section.
You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If
you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option.
Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is
selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash.
Start or Resume a Cycle
Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water.
After selecting the cycle and options, press START/RESUME
to start the dishwasher.
OR
Press START/RESUME once to show which selections you
previously used and press START/RESUME again to repeat the
same cycle.
To resume a cycle press START/RESUME and close the door
within 3 seconds.
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish,
even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button
must be pressed each time.
If the Start/Resume button is located on the top of the door,
press START/RESUME. Ensure the light beside the button is lit
and the countdown timer (on some models) is counting down
while you firmly push the door closed. The door must be closed
within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME or you will hear a
series of beeps and the cycle will not start.
NOTE: For best results, press the buttons lightly with the flat part of
your finger instead of with your fingertip.
Check the rinse aid indicator with the door down (varies by
model). Add rinse aid when indicator drops to “Add” level.
Add rinse aid to this style
dispenser by twisting the
dispenser cap ¼ turn
clockwise to open and lift off.
Pour rinse aid into the
opening until the indicator
level is at “Full.” Replace the
dispenser cap and turn to
“Lock.” Make sure cap is
fully locked
To add rinse aid to this style
dispenser, open the rinse
dispenser lid by gently
pushing in the center of the
lid with your thumb and
pulling up on the edge. Pour
rinse aid into the opening
until the dispenser is full.
Then, close the dispenser
by pushing down gently
on the lid.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give
good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a
higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by
either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into
the center of the arrow and turning.
Higher numbers dispense more rinse aid. You should change this
setting only a little at a time and then run a few cycles before
changing it again because just enough rinse aid is more effective
than too much.

Filtration System
(for models with EQ filtration system)
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and
energy conservation while providing superior cleaning performance. Throughout the life of your dishwasher, the filter will require
maintenance to sustain peak cleaning performance.
It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.
*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes. This
will also save you time and effort.
Very Hard Water
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least
once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher
indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see
“Troubleshooting” section.
Cleaning Instructions
IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they
may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If you
have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a
soft brush may be required.
The triple filter system consists of 2 parts, an upper filter
assembly and a lower filter.
The upper filter assembly keeps oversized items and
foreign objects, along with very fine food particles, out
of the pump.
The lower filter keeps food from being recirculated onto
your dishware.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
Visible objects or soils are on the Upper Filter Assembly.
There is degradation in cleaning performance (that is,
soils still present on dishes).
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the
filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn
the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.
NOTE: The Upper Filter Assembly arrow does not have to
align with the arrow in the Lower Filter as long as the filter
is locked.
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, such as affresh®† Stainless Steel Cleaner.
Cleaning The Interior
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces,
especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may want to wear
rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent
because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
Removal of Hard Water/Filming:
We recommended to use a monthly maintenance product such as affresh®
Dishwasher Cleaner.
Load your dishwasher (preferably with dishes affected by filming/ hard water).
Place tablet in main wash compartment of detergent dispenser.
Select the cycle/option best for heavily soiled dishes and start the dishwasher.
To Manually Clean Interior:
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.
OR
See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Cloudy or spotted dishware (and hard water
solution)” in the “Troubleshooting” section.
NOTE: Run a normal cycle with dishwasher detergent after cleaning the interior.

Drain Air Gap
Vacation or Extended Time Without Use
Cleaning Advanced Racks
(on some models)
If you would like to clean hard water filming or other soil buildups from the interior
surfaces of the dishwasher, we recommend using a monthly maintenance product
such as affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner. If you desire routine cleaning, use a soft
damp cloth.
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a
built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air gap when your
dishwasher is not draining well.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your
dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs
directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.
To clean the drain air gap Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. With
most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil
buildup. Clean if necessary.
To reduce the risk of property
damage
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water
and power supply to the dishwasher.
Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice
formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your
dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your
dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
DISHWASHER DOES
NOT RUN NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.
If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME.
Be sure the door is closed and latched.
Be sure you have disabled Sleep Mode by pressing either START/RESUME or CANCEL, or opening
and closing the door before selecting your cycle/option.
Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the back
of the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and latched.
Be sure you have selected a cycle. See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section.
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped.
If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.
DETERGENT REMAINS IN
THE DISPENSER OR
TABLET IS ON BOTTOM
OF TUB
Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be
blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.
Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.
Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to resume
the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:
To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run
for up to 3 hours.
A water heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is best, the dishwasher will delay longer while heating
cooler water.
Some options will add time to the cycle. See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section. The
ProDry™ option adds approximately ¹⁄₂ hour.
Try the Express Wash cycle.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous
surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the ProDry™ option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying. See specific loading instructions within this guide.
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items
when unloading.
Unload the bottom rack first.
Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
WILL NOT FILL Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the Overfill Protection Float is free from obstructions. See “Parts and Features”.
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate
properly or may not fill with water. See “Blinking Lights” in “Troubleshooting” section.
WATER REMAINS IN THE
TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle
by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door; or you can press CANCEL/DRAIN to cancel the
current cycle.
If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed
from the disposer inlet.
Check for kinks in the drain hose.
Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer.
Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
19
HARD WATER
(WHITE RESIDUE ON
DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR
GLASSWARE)
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it
difficult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is
15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:
Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month.
Always use a rinse aid.
Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent.
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.
See “Cleaning the interior” section to use an automatic dishwasher cleaner.
ODORS NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load until a full load
is ready to run, or use the Top Rack Only option (on some models) for partial loads.
Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright
glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the ProDry™ option turned off. Do not
use detergent.
The dishwasher may not be draining properly, see “Water Remains In The Tub/Will Not Drain” in the
“Troubleshooting” section.
NOISY NOTES:
Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.
Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.
A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and
when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
Improper installation will affect noise levels.
A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms.
Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.
FOOD SOILS REMAIN
ON DISHES Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing
performance. See “Dishwasher Use” section.
Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See “Cleaning Instructions” in “Filtration
System” section.
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The ProWash™ or the Tough cycle with the
ProScrub® (on some models) option can be used for tougher loads.
Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled loads and hard
water conditions.
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).
DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN
DISHWASHER/CYCLE
NOT COMPLETE
If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate
properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as dish detergent for hand washing dishes, laundry
detergent, or hand soap.
Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
Call for service.
If no water was present in the machine at any time during a heated wash cycle, the cycle will end and
the Clean LED will not come on. See “Will Not Fill” in the “Troubleshooting” section.
SANITIZED LIGHT BLINKING If the sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final rinse, or
the temperature for your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120ºF (49°C).
DAMAGE TO DISHWARE Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. See specific loading instructions
within this guide.
BLINKING LIGHTS Blinking LED(s) will occur when the cycle is paused or when the cycle has been interrupted by opening
the door. In this case, the Start/Resume button LED, the Cycle Status Indicator LED(s), and the
countdown bars on the Cycle Status Display all blink together to indicate that attention is needed. See
“Start or Resume a Cycle” in the “Dishwasher Use” section.
Blinking LED's can also occur when certain errors have been detected. In this case, the
Clean/Complete LED will blink 4 times in a row with a pause in between each set of blinks. When this
error occurs, the controls will lock out and not allow another cycle to be started.
Call for service.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
20
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED
DISHWARE (AND HARD
WATER SOLUTION)
NOTES:
Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the
cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See “Hard
Water (White Residue On Dishwasher Interior Or Glassware)” in the “Troubleshooting” section. If it does
not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and metal
items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a
normal cycle with the ProDry™ option turned off. No detergent is needed.
ETCHING (PERMANENT
CLOUDINESS) This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water that is
too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing. Detergent needs food soil to
act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid further etching,
adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating
options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
LEAKING WATER Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only detergents
designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent
if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid overfilling.
TUB IS DISCOLORED NOTES:
High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
