All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

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.

■

Refer to Installation Instructions for instructions pertaining

to grounding.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not open dishwasher drawer until inside cabinet opening.

Doing so can result in serious injury.

START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety

information and useful operating tips.

NOTE: Each drawer has its own control panel and can run independently of the other.

Using Your New Dishwasher

1. Rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the rinse

aid dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. Each

filling will last about 1 to 2 months depending on your usage.

(See “Rinse Aid Dispenser.”)

2. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)

from dishes.

3. Check drain filter and spray arm. (See “Cleaning.”) Ensure the

drain filter is flush with the filter plate, and the spray arm can

rotate about the center easily.

4. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)

Load dishes with space in between so water will reach the

soiled surfaces. Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s)

from spinning freely.

5. Add powdered detergent. Always use a high quality brand

detergent. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

IMPORTANT: Only use powdered detergent recommended

for dishwashers. Do not use liquid or tablet detergents. Wash

performance could be negatively impacted if you use

anything other than powdered detergent.

6. Run hot water at the sink until the water is hot. (See

“Performance Tips.”) Turn off water.

7. Press the Power pad on the front of the drawer to turn the

dishwasher on or off. When the drawer is opened, the

dishwasher will automatically power up for 30 seconds even

if the Power pad has not been pressed. If no program

selection is made, it will power off again.

8. Press the (Cycle Select) or the HI TEMP pad on the top of

the drawer opening to select the desired wash cycle.

Continue to press the (Cycle Select) or the HI TEMP pad, and

the indicators will progress through the different cycles until

the desired cycle is selected. The next time you use the

dishwasher, it will remember the last cycle used. (See “Wash

Cycles.”)

9. Push drawer firmly closed. Press the Start/Resume button on

the front of the drawer to start the wash cycle.

NOTES:

■ If the dishwasher is operating and a power failure occurs,

it will stop. You may not be able to open the drawer at this

time. When the power supply is resumed, the dishwasher

will start in the same part of the wash cycle.

■ To end the wash cycle in mid-cycle, press the Power pad.

Any water in the drawer will be pumped out.

10. The dishwasher will beep 6 times to indicate the end of the

wash cycle. At the end of the wash cycle, the drying fan will

continue to run for a set time or until the drawer is opened.

The fan assists with drying and uses small amounts of energy.

NOTE: It is normal for some water to remain in the drain filter

area after the wash cycle is complete.

Wash System

The wash system provides excellent cleaning results. Two levels

of filtration filter the wash water and keep food particles from

redepositing on the clean dishes.

■ A filter plate keeps bones, pits, and other large objects from

entering the pump system.

■ Items small enough to pass through the filter plate are caught

in the drain filter.

■ The wash water continuously flows through the drain filter,

trapping food particles.

IMPORTANT: Before each wash load, check the drain filter for

evidence of food particles and clean. (A small amount of water

will remain in the drain filter area.) Food scraps may collect on the

filter plate, and the spray arm and filter plate may need cleaning.

The spray arm and filter plate may need cleaning about once a

month in normal use or more often, should the need arise. (See

“Cleaning the Spray Arm, Drain Filter and Filter Plate” in

“Cleaning” section.)

Sound System

The WHISPER QUIET

sound insulation system helps to maintain

a quiet home environment during dishwasher operation.

NOTE: If you do not load dishes properly, the quiet operation of

your dishwasher could be affected. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)

Drying System

At the end of the selected wash cycle, the drying fan will continue

to run for a set time or until the drawer is opened. The fan assists

with drying and uses a small amount of energy.

DISHWASHER LOADING

Loading Suggestions

■ Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard

items from the dishes. To conserve water, energy and save

time it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them

into the dishwasher.

NOTE: Dishes soiled with tomato-based products should be

prerinsed to avoid staining.

■ It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

■ Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if

possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all

surfaces.

■ Use special care when loading heavy pots and pans. Heavy

items can damage the interior of the door if they are dropped

or bumped.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, etc., do not interfere with the

spray arm rotation.

■ Conserve water, energy and save time over hand rinsing by

running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan

to wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta,

spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they

are left to dry over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

■ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, etc., do not touch interior

walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.

■ Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

Loading Rack

NOTE: If the rack is incorrectly placed in the drawer, the rack can

block the spray arm rotation. The rack is properly installed if it is

sitting flat on the bottom of the drawer.

The rack is designed for cups, glasses, plates, pans, casseroles

and utensils. Many items, up to 11" (28.38 cm), fit in the rack.

(See recommended loading patterns shown.)

IMPORTANT: Do not load anything above the inside top edge of

the drawer as it may keep the drawer lid from properly closing.

■ Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and

draining.

■ China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each

other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

■ Load small items in the rack only if they are secured in place.

■ Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move

them during the cycle. Only plastic items marked

“dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■ To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

■ Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the

rack.

■ Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.

■ Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

■ 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 tines. Do not nest bowls

because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

■ Load cake pans and other large items at the sides and back.

Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from

reaching the rinse aid dispenser.

■ Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

NOTE: Do not load items between the rack and the detergent

dispenser because they might block the water inlet opening

located at the base of the dispenser.

Fold-Down Cup Shelves

Fold down the cup shelves on the sides of the drawer to hold

additional cups, stemware or long items such as utensils and

spatulas. Fold up when you need room for larger items in the

main rack.

SURE-HOLD

light item clips

The light item 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.

SURE-HOLD

base rack and removable rack inserts

The SURE-HOLD

removable rack inserts (see illustration below)

allow you to adjust the rack for the type of load you are washing.

You can remove one or more of the inserts to customize the rack

for a particular load. This is useful when washing a variety of

dishes, pots and pans, or roasters.

NOTE: The removable inserts are not designed to be lifted out of

the drawer while loaded with dishes.

A. Large insert

B. Medium insert

C. Base rack

D. Drain filter access panel

To remove either insert

1. Gently pull in and up on the handle to release the insert

handle from the base rack.

2. Once the handle is lifted up, tilt the insert to the left or right to

release the insert legs on the other end from their position

under the base rack wire.

To install either insert

1. Tilt the rack insert end to the left or right to insert the legs

under the base rack wires as shown below.

2. Straighten the insert into position along the bottom of the

base rack.

3. Gently pull in and push down on the insert handle until the

insert locks into position in the base rack.

Loading Silverware Basket

The FLEXI-BASKET™ silverware basket can be separated and

placed into the rack in several locations. Hold joined basket firmly

and slide each basket until the tab aligns with the keyhole on the

back of each basket and pull apart. Now use both sections or just

one to load silverware.

Load the silverware basket while it is in the rack or take the

basket out for loading on a counter or table. The silverware

basket can be removed for easy unloading.

Use the center section with cover down to load silverware in set

positions and avoid nesting. Mix items in end sections of the

basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting.

Spray cannot reach nested items.

Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob

holders, etc., in the middle section with the hinged cover. Close

the cover over the section to hold small items in place.

To remove the center basket cover

1. Slide the cover to one side until one hinge end pops out of

the holder.

2. Tilt cover and slide in the opposite direction until the other

hinge end pops out of holder. Remove cover.

To install the center basket cover

1. Insert a cover hinge end into holder on one side.

2. Slide the cover until you can insert the opposite hinge end

into the holder on the other side and slide into place.

IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing

down.

NOTES:

■ Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless

steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each

other during washing.

■ Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,

etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do

not have a full load to wash immediately.

■ Check the bottom of the silverware basket to ensure items

have not come through as they may stop spray arm rotation.

DISHWASHER USE

Detergent Use

The detergent and rinse aid dispenser is located on the front

inside wall of the drawer. The detergent dispenser has two

sections, the pre wash section is the smaller and the other is for

the main wash detergent. The pre wash and main wash sections

both have inside fill line markings. The pre wash section has one

marking which represents 1 tsp (5 mL). When it is full, it holds

2 tsp (10 mL). The main wash section has two markings, the

lowest mark indicates 2 tsp (10 mL), the middle mark 4 tsp

(20 mL), and when it is full it contains 6 tsp (30 mL).

NOTE: The detergent dispenser is designed for use with

powdered detergent. Liquid and tablet detergents are not

suitable to be used in the dispenser. (Posts inside dispenser are a

reminder not to use detergent tablets.)

IMPORTANT:

■ Use powdered, automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other

detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out

of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

■ Add detergent just before starting a cycle.

■ Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Using

fresh, automatic dishwasher detergent results in better

cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

Filling the powdered detergent dispenser

1. Press the latch down and the door will open.

2. Pour in detergent. No detergent is needed for the Rinse cycle.

3. After filling the section(s), close the dispenser door until it

clicks shut. The detergent will automatically be released into

the drawer during the wash cycle.

How much powdered detergent to use

■ The detergent quantities suggested in the chart are for

individual drawer use.

■ The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of

your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,

dishes will not be clean. If you use too much in soft water,

glassware will etch.

■ Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out

your water’s hardness by asking your local water department,

water softener company, or county extension agent.

■ You can order, at no charge, a water hardness test strip. In

the U.S.A., call the Customer eXperience Center and ask for

Part Number 4171690. (See “Assistance or Service.”)

■ 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 might need to use more detergent, or use

a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

*tsp = teaspoon. 1 tsp = 5 mL.

Rinse Aid Dispenser

The regular use of liquid rinse aid gives the best drying results.

Rinse aids keep water from forming droplets that can dry as

spots or streaks. They also help keep metal from tarnishing. They

improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during

the final rinse. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse

aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.

The rinse aid dispenser is located on the front inside of the

drawer underneath the detergent dispenser.

How much rinse aid to use

The regulator may need adjusting to suit your water conditions.

The lowest setting is “1” and the highest is “5.” For hard water,

the rinse aid dispenser should be used with its setting fixed at 5.

(See “Option Selections and Adjustments” section.)

NOTE: If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce

the rinse aid dispenser setting. If dishes are wet or streaky after

drying, increase the rinse aid dispenser setting.

Filling the rinse aid dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 1.7 oz (50.28 mL) of rinse aid.

Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 2 months.

Try to keep it full, but be sure not to overfill it.

1. Turn the plug counterclockwise and remove.

2. Pour the rinse aid into the circular opening.

3. Take care not to spill rinse aid into the drawer. Any spills must

be wiped up to avoid excess foaming.

4. Fit the plug back into the original position.

Rinse Aid indicator

If the rinse aid indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse

aid indicator light is not lit, there is enough rinse aid for the wash.

You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill.

Performance Tips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.

Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry

spot-free. 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. If your water heater is located far from

the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the

faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold

water in the water line.

To check water temperature

1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at

least 1 minute.

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring

cup.

3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is

running into the cup.

Additional efficiency tips

■ To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before

putting them into the dishwasher.

■ Choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil on your

dish load.

■ Do not worry about mixed loads. Any item that is dishwasher

safe can be washed using any cycle. (See “NOTES:” in the

“Loading Silverware Basket” section.)

■ Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak

hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of

energy at certain times of day. (See “Option Selections and

Adjustments.”)

■ Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

■ Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse

portion of the cycle for better performance.

■ Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after

meals until the dishwasher is full.

■ If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want

to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of

the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash

performance.

DISHWASHER CARE

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. Dry with a clean, lint-free

cloth.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the

inside surfaces.

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.

To clean interior

Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp

sponge and clean.

See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Spotting and filming on

dishes” in “Troubleshooting.”

NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the

interior.

Cleaning the Spray Arm, Drain Filter and Filter Plate

To clean the Spray Arm

1. Gently remove the base rack. Lift from the back end first so

that you do not bump the detergent and rinse aid dispenser.

2. Lift the spray arm and shake out any foreign material.

3. Rinse the spray arm under running water and wipe it with a

damp cloth.

4. Place the spray arm back onto the impeller.

To clean the Drain Filter

1. If the base rack is in place, lift up the drain filter access panel

located under the silverware basket.

2. Lift and remove the drain filter out of the drawer.

3. Empty the drain filter, rinse under clean running water, and

place back into the drain space.

4. Make sure that the drain filter is flush with the filter plate.

To clean the Filter Plate

1. Make sure that the dishwasher is cool before you start

cleaning the filter plate and follow the instructions for

removing the spray arm and drain filter.

2. In the center of the filter plate, there are two rings — an outer

ring and a center ring. Hold the center ring still and turn the

outer ring counterclockwise, ¹⁄₈ turn, until the tabs and

notches in both rings align. This will release the filter plate.

3. Lift up the filter plate. Remove any soil, wash in hot soapy

water, and rinse thoroughly in clean water. The bottom of the

drawer can be wiped with a damp cloth.

4. Replace the filter plate so that it lies flat in the base of the

drawer.

5. Align the outer ring making sure that the tabs align with the

notches in the center ring.

6. To lock the filter plate into position, hold the center ring while

you turn the outer ring clockwise until the lines on the two

rings align. (See illustration above.)

7. When properly installed, you should not be able to move the

filter plate.

IMPORTANT: For best performance, the drawer must be used

with the filter plate, drain filter, and spray arm correctly in place.

Drain Air Gap

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t draining

well.

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a

drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain

system. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your

dishwasher from water backing up into it.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or

countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, call your

local dealer; or call us or your designated service center and ask

for Part Number 300096. For more information, see “Assistance

or Service.”

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. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the

manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover.

Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if

necessary.

Storing

Storing for the summer

Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning

off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

Winterizing your dishwasher

Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to

freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal

dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have

your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

Dishwasher is not operating properly

■ Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle

Is the drawer closed tightly?

Is the correct wash cycle selected? Refer to“Wash Cycles.”

Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse

blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or

reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an

electrician.

Is an Error Code indicated? (See “Error Codes.”)

■ Dishwasher will not fill

Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?

■ Dishwasher seems to run too long

Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The

drawer runs longer while heating water. Refer to the

“Performance Tips” section.

A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles

until the water reaches the proper temperature.

■ Water remains in the dishwasher

Is the cycle complete? A small amount of water will remain in

the drain filter area.

■ Excess water in the dishwasher

Are there blocked drain filters? Clean the drain filter and filter

plate. (See “Cleaning.”)

Is the drain hose bent or kinked? Straighten or unblock

hoses. (See “Error Codes.”)

■ Odor in the dishwasher

Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle

once or twice a day until you have a full load.

Does the drawer have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar

rinse as described in “Spotting and filming on dishes.”

Dishes are not completely clean

■ Food soil left on the dishes

Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? If not, it can block

rotation of the spray arm. Refer to the “Dishwasher Loading”

section.

Can the spray arm rotate freely? Check that no items are

obstructing the spray arm path.

Are the spray arm holes blocked? Clean the spray arm. See

“Cleaning the Spray Arm, Drain Filter and Filter Plate” in

“Cleaning” section.

Are the drain filter and filter plate clean and installed

correctly? See “Cleaning the Spray Arm, Drain Filter and Filter

Plate” in “Cleaning” section.

Is the base rack correctly installed? Refer to “Loading Rack.”

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing

results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the

dishwasher. Refer to the “Performance Tips” section.

Is the correct cycle selected? Refer to “Wash Cycles.”

Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use

recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the

“Detergent Use” section. Do not use less than 1 tsp (5 mL)

per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store

detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water

generally require extra detergent.

Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and

cans?

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.

Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or

laundry detergents. Use recommended powdered

dishwasher detergents only.

Spots and stains on dishes

■ Spotting and filming on dishes

Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your

water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse

aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid

dispenser filled.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing

results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the

dishwasher. Refer to the “Performance Tips” section.

Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use

recommended powdered dishwasher detergents only. Refer

to the “Detergent Use” section. Do not use less than 1 tsp

(5 mL) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store

detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water

generally require extra detergent.

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 drawer fill. If you have

questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified

plumber.

NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white

vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for occasional use

only. Vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage

your drawer.

1. Wash and rinse dishes. Remove all silverware or metal

items.

2. Put 1 cup (250 mL) white vinegar in a glass or

dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the rack.

3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle.

Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash

water.

■ Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-

colored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain

types of glassware. This is usually caused by some

combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing

solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the drawer, and the

heat of drying. It might not be possible to avoid the problem,

except by hand washing.

To slow this process use a minimum amount of powdered

detergent but not less than 1 tsp (5 mL) per load. Use a liquid

rinse aid and underload the drawer to allow thorough rinsing.

Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be

removed.

■ White spots on cookware with nonstick finish

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware

seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the drawer.

■ Brown stains on dishes and drawer interior

Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes

using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the

detergent dispenser main wash section. Do not use

detergent. Follow with a Normal wash cycle with detergent. If

treatment is needed more often than every other month, the

installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

■ Black or gray marks on dishes

Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing?

Disposable aluminum items can break down in the

dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these items.

Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.

■ Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior

Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed

in the dishwasher? It may be necessary to use a stain

removal product to remove stains from your dishwasher.

Stains will not affect dishwasher performance.

Dishes do not dry completely

■ Dishes are not dry

Did you load your drawer to allow proper water drainage? Do

not overload. Refer to the “Dishwasher Loading” section. Use

a liquid rinse aid to speed drying. You may need to adjust the

Rinse Aid setting. (See “Option Selections and Adjustments.”)

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.

Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the “Rinse Aid

Dispenser” section.

Dishes are damaged during a cycle

■ Chipping of dishes

Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and

glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from

washing action.

NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of

china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic

dishwashing. Wash by hand.

Excessive pump noise

■ Are the filter plate and/or spray arm correctly placed?

■ Is there water in the pump area? It is normal during first use

or after the dishwasher has not been used for long periods of

time. Run the drawer through a wash cycle.

Water leaking

■ Is the drain hose disconnected from a waste pipe?

Reconnect the drain hose to the waste pipe.

■ Is the supply inlet hose correctly connected? Make sure that

the inlet hose is connected securely.

■ Are there other leaks? Turn off water and power supplies to

the dishwasher. Contact an authorized service agent. (See

“Assistance or Service.”)

Dishwasher will not open

■ Is the Keylock option selected? Turn Lock off. Hold down the

Lock button until the green light disappears and/or press the

Power button to open the drawer. Refer to “Option Selections

and Adjustments.”

Intermittent beeping

■ The dishwasher is in a pause mode. Close the drawer and

press the Start/Resume button.

Continuous beeping

■ A failure has occurred. (See “Error Codes.”)

Error Codes
