Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety symbols and

statements. Please pay special attention to

these symbols and follow any instructions

given. Here is a brief explanation of the use

of the symbol.

This symbol alerts you to

hazards such as fire,

electrical shock, or

other injuries.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - When using the dish-

washer, 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 agents recom-

mended for use in the 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

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 to the washing compart-

ment when removing an old dishwasher

from service or discarding it.

For a grounded, cord connected dishwasher:.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The dishwasher must be grounded. In

the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of electrical

shock by providing a path of least resist-

ance 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 electrical shock. Check with a

qualified electrician or service representa-

tive if you are in doubt whether the

dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not

modify the plug provided with the dish-

washer; if it will not fit the outlet, have

a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

This section tells you how to properly load your dishwasher for the best washing

and rinsing results.

Preparing to load the dishwasher

• Scrape leftover food, bones, toothpicks,

and other hard items from dishes. It is not

necessary to rinse dishes before putting

them into the dishwasher.

_,Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the

spray (down or inward). It is important for

the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

,, Take care when loading heavy pots or pans

into the dishwasher. They can dent the

stainless steel interior of the door if they are

dropped or bumped.

• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza

pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch

interior walls or interfere with the spray

arm rotation.

• Run a Rinse Only cycle to keep dishes

moist if you do not plan to wash them soon.

Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and

cooked cereals may be hard to remove if

they are left to dry.

Loading the upper rack

The upper rack is designed for cups,

glasses, and other small items.

* Load cups and glasses in the upper rack

only, in the rows between the prongs.

Placing them over the prongs can cause

them to chip or break.

" China, crystal, and other delicate items

must not touch each other during dish-

washer operation. Damage may occur.

, Place items so open ends face down for

best cleaning and draining.

- Load plastic items securely in the upper

rack only. Wash only plastic items marked

"dishwasher safe."

- Secure lightweight items so they don't

overturn during washing. Wedge light-

weight items against one another or

overlap them with heavier dishes. (See

page lOon using the Sure-Hold clips.)

, Load bowls in the center section for best

stability.

, Racks with teal-colored tips can be ad-

justed for different loads.

Sure-Hold dips

The Sure-Hold clips hold lightweight plastic

items like cups, lids, or bowls in place during

washing. Move a clip anywhere in the rack

by pulling it up and off the tine and reposi-

tioning it in another tine.

Sure-Hold clip

The lower rack is designed for plates, pans,

casseroles, and utensils.

_ Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food

in the lower rack with soiled surfaces facing

in toward the spray.

_ For maximum capacity and stability of an

all-plate load, stagger or overlap small

plates with large ones.

Load plates side to side along with pots,

pans, and large cookware, as shown.

_ Do not put small items in the lower rack if

they are not secured in place.

_,Racks with teal-colored tips can be ad-

justed for different loads.

3.Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the

rack in a variety of ways depending upon

their size and shape. Load bowls securely

between the rows of prongs. Do not nest

bowls because the spray won't reach their

surfaces.

Do not load items between the bottom rack

and the side of the dishwasher tub. This

can block the water inlet opening.

The detergent dispenser has two sections.

The smaller Prewash section empties

detergent into the dishwasher when you

close the door. The larger Main Wash

section empties detergent into the dish-

washer during the wash cycle.

If the dispenser cover is closed, open the

cover by rotating the blue button down.

Rotate blue

button to open.

PRE-WASH

Fill the Main Wash section with detergent.

The amount of detergent needed depends

on the amount of food soil on the dishes

and water hardness. See the detergent

usage chart on page 16.

Close the dispenser cover and fill the

Prewash section.

,:, :;.... Do not use detergent with the Rinse

Only cycle.

Main Wash section Prewash section

Using the detergent dispenser

What type of detergent to use

* Use automatic dishwasher detergent only.

NOTE: Never use soap, hand-dishwashing

detergent, or laundry detergent. These

products will produce excessive suds which

could cause flooding and reduce washing

performance.

" Follow manufacturer's instructions when

using powdered, liquid, or gel dishwasher

detergents. Concentrated (Ultra) powdered

detergents usually call for lower usage than

do standard powdered detergents.

* Add detergent to the dispenser just before

starting the dishwasher.

Keep detergent container tightly closed in a

cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.

After opening, a box of detergent should

stay fresh for about one month. Detergent

exposed to moisture over a period of time

might become caked and ineffective.

How much detergent to use

WATER HARDNESS AMOUNT OF DETERGENT

Soft to Medium Hard For normal loads:

Water

0-6 grains per gallon

,, Partially fill the Main Wash section (2 tablespoons or

30 grams)

,, Fill the Prewash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)

NOTE: Add only 1 tablespoon or 15 grams of detergent

to the Prewash section if dishes are prerinsed or water is

very soft.

For heavily soiled loads:

,, Fill the Main Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams)

* Fill the Prewash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)

Medium to Hard Water * Fill the Main Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams)

6-12 grains per gallon * Fill the Prewash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)

Different brands of dishwasher detergent

have different amounts of phosphorus for

softening water. If you have hard water and

use a detergent with a phosphorous content

of less than 8.7%, you may need to use

more detergent, or use a detergent with a

phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

', Excessive amounts of detergent combined

with soft water may cause etching of

glassware.

NOTE: Water hardness may change over a

period of time. Contact your focal water utility

or area water softening company to determine

your water hardness, or order water hardness

test strip part number 4171690 through the

Consumer Assistance Center.

Using the rinse agent dispenser

A rinse agent prevents water from forming

droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It

also improves drying by allowing water to

drain off the dishes during the final rinse by

releasing a small amount of the rinse agent

into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is

designed to use a liquid rinse agent. Do not

use a solid or bar-type rinse agent.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 5.2 fluid

ounces of rinse agent. Under normal

conditions, this will last for about three

months. You do not have to wait until the

dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it

full, but be careful not to overfill it.

t. Make sure the dishwasher door is

fully open.

2. Turn the dispenser knob to Open and lift

it out.

3. Add rinse agent until the indicator window

looks full. If you overfill, the excess rinse

agent may overflow the dispenser and

cause oversudsing during the wash cycle.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a

damp cloth.

5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn it

to Closed.

Indicator Dispenser

window knob

Rhise agent: setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the

final wash can be adjusted. The factory

setting is at 2. For most water conditions set

the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or

calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a

higher setting (4, 5, or 6).

To adjust setting

Remove the dispenser knob, then turn

the adjuster inside the dispenser to the

desired setting.
