Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a

dishwasher that is connected to a hot water

system that has been unused for two weeks

or longer, 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 explosive, do not smoke or

use an open flame during this time.

• Remove the door to the washing

compartment when removing an old

dishwasher from service or discarding.

• To avoid floor damage and possible mold

growth, do not allow wet areas to remain

use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon

(15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The

detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure

detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75

tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of

detergent will completely fill the detergent

dispenser cup.

avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do

not allow wet areas to remain around or under the

dishwasher.

Check/Clean the Stainless Steel

Inner Door and Tub

Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel

regularly to remove debris that might collect there

from normal loading.

If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub

or inner door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir

is full.

or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of

the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the

dishwasher’s enclosure floor (see the Installation

Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the

filter system isn’t clogged (see the Care and

Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen

sink drain may be clogged; you may need a

plumber rather than a serviceman for the

dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it

may be clogged.

Detergent dispenser cover will not shut

You may not be correctly shutting the detergent

dispenser cover, or a cycle was not finished and

should be cancelled. Go to the Adding Detergent

and Rinse Agent section of this manual for

instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser

cover. Go to the Operating the Dishwasher

section of this manual for instructions on

canceling a cycle.

the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of

this manual for instructions on decreasing the

amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems

that are unrelated to a malfunction of the

dishwasher itself. The following information may

help you with a dishwasher problem without your

having to call a repair person.

Dishes do not dry

The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check

the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary.

Dishware drying can be accelerated and

enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly

and propping it open with the top rack.

Indicator light(s) do not come on

A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker

tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your

fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or

reset the breaker if necessary.

Dishwasher does not start

The dishwasher door may not be properly shut.

Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and

latched.

Dishwasher runs a long time

If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run

time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to

cold incoming water. Before starting the

dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink

nearest the dishwasher. Run the water until it

runs hot, then turn off the water and start the

dishwasher.

Machine cycle does not advance to rinse

NOTE

: The Installation Manual that came with

your dishwasher will help you with the following

instructions. The water supply line may be shut

off. Check the water supply valve and open it if it’s

shut.

White spots left on dishes

More rinse agent is needed. Go to the Adding

Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual

for instructions on increasing the amount of rinse

agent dispensed.
