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.
WARNING

What’s New in Your Dishwasher
Energy
Performance
Congratulations on purchasing your water and energy efficient dishwasher! This dishwasher cleans by spraying the
dishes with water and pauses to allow the detergent to soak into and release the soils on the dishes. The cycles are
longer due to the soak and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Your dishwasher contains an optical water sensor. The
optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum water and energy consumption for great cleaning
performance. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas.
The first cycle using the sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.
Rinse Aid
Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance.
This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid
for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard
water deposits. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and
energy, so they depend on the water “sheeting” action of rinse
aid for total optimal performance.
Detergent
The United States and Canada have passed regulations limiting
the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in the household
dishwasher detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous
detergents contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have
reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in
detergents as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With
these changes, we recommend quality tablets and packs for
convenience and improved performance.
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 optimal
cleaning performance. Maintenance of your filters regularly will
sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both
your upper and lower filters and rinse under running water at
least once a month.

Dishwasher Use
Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and
other hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from
containers before washing.
Check that when dishwasher door is closed, no items are
blocking detergent dispenser.
Tough soiled items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing
down and inward to the spray. 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 racks.
Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep
your silverware separated for optimum wash.
NOTE: Silverware basket may vary by model.
Check that nothing blocks the upper or lower spray arms.
Add Detergent
Premeasured Detergents
High quality premeasured tablets
and packs are recommended for
improved performance.
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. They are suitable for all
hardness and soil levels. Also,
by using a rinse aid, you can
minimize repeat buildup of white film (not all packs and tablets
contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in main
compartment and slide lid closed.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the complete owners manual for
more details about powders, liquids, and gels.
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just
before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool,
dry place.
STEP 1
Upper rack Lower rack
When loading silverware, always place sharp
items pointing down and avoid “nesting.”
If your silverware does not fit into the
designated slots, flip the covers up and mix
silverware types to keep them separated.
Items in rack can
block the spray arms.
STEP 2
To close lid To open lid
Place selected detergent in
the dispenser. Place finger,
as shown, and slide lid closed.
Press firmly until it clicks.
Push OPEN, as shown, and the
lid will slide open.

Powders and Gels
*The prewash compartment is on top of the sliding door of
the dispenser.
**A full main wash compartment contains 2 Tbsp. (30 ml).
IMPORTANT: Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains
per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher
and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.
Rinse Aid
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The
use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain
from the dishes after the final rinse. Rinse aid also keeps water
from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
Filling the dispenser
The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse
aid. Under most conditions, this will last
1 to 3 months.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when
door is completely opened.
1. To add rinse aid, open the
rinse dispenser lid by gently
pushing in the center of the
lid with your thumb and
pulling up on the edge.
2. Pour rinse aid into the
opening until the dispenser
is full. Do not overfill.
3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid.
Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.
4. Then, close the dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.
To add rinse aid: 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.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For
most water conditions, the factory setting will
give good results. If you have hard water and
notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you
may want to try a higher setting. If you notice
foam in your dishwasher, use a lower setting.
To adjust the setting:
Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to
increase the amount of rinse aid.
Select a Cycle (varies by model)
See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.
Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length.
Select Options (varies by model)
See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.
You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired.
Start or Resume a Cycle
Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water.
For best dishwashing results, water should be 120ºF (49ºC)
as it enters the dishwasher.
Push door firmly closed. Select the wash cycle and options
desired. Press START/RESUME to start the diswasher.
NOTE: To repeat the same cycle and options used previously,
press START/RESUME twice.
You can add an item anytime at the beginning of the cycle.

Cycle and Option Descriptions
Estimated cycle times may increase or decrease depending on water temperature, soil conditions, dish load size, and options selected.
You can customize your cycle by selecting an option.
See option selections. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option or select a different option. You can change
an option anytime before the selected option begins. At each stage of a wash cycle, you may hear noises that you are not used to hearing
in your previous dishwasher. Each cycle will provide a series of pauses and water sprays throughout the wash cycle. This is normal and
will provide optimal cleaning performance.
IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the
cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle
will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

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.
*We recommend this practice because it 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. Buildup 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.

Dishwasher Care
CLEANING THE DISHWASHER
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild
detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a
stainless steel cleaner is recommended, such as affresh
®
Stainless
Steel Cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the
exterior of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the interior
Clean the interior of the dishwasher with a paste of powdered
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is
an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe
measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry
option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
Dishwasher maintenance procedure
Removal of Hard Water/Filming
Recommended use of a monthly maintenance product such as
affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner.
Place affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner tablet in main wash
compartment of detergent dispenser.
Select a normal cycle and start the dishwasher.
NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of premeasured detergent
tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for regular daily use.
Drain air gap
To reduce risk of property damage during vacation or
extended time without use
When 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 cause damage to 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.
Filter Reinstallation Instructions
1. Noting the previous
illustrations, place the
Lower Filter under the
Locating Tabs in the
bottom of the dishwasher
so the round opening for
the Upper Filter Assembly
lines up with the round
opening in the bottom of
the tub.
2. Insert the Upper Filter
Assembly into the circular
opening in the Lower Filter.

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. Check to see if any items are protruding through the bottom or back of the rack. Also
check to see if tall items are hitting the upper rack or spray arm. 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 Heat
Dry option adds approximately 45 minutes.
Try the 1 Hour 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
surfaces which tend to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the Heat Dry 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” section.
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 indicator is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the
cycle by closing the door and pressing Start/Resume.
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.
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.
Clean the upper and lower filters at least once per month. See “Cleaning Instructions” in the “Filtration
System” section.
Always use a rinse aid.
Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent.
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.
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.
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 Heat Dry 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.
Be sure the filters are properly installed.
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 the
“Filtration System” section for details.
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Sensor or Heavy cycle with the
Hi Temp Wash 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.
Inadequate rinsing off detergent from dishes washed by hand before loading them into
the dishwasher.
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 indicator will not come on. See “Will Not Fill” in the “Troubleshooting” section.
DID NOT SANITIZE 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.)
PROBLEM SOLUTION
15
BLINKING LIGHTS Blinking indicators 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 indicators can also occur when certain errors have been detected. In this case, the Clean
indicator 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.
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 Wash 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 Heat Dry 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 prewashing. 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 prewashing, 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. Large amounts of tomato-based foods should
be removed from the dishes before loading.
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.

INSTRUCCIONES IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD
ADVERTENCIA:
Cuando use la lavavajillas siga precauciones básicas, incluyendo las siguientes:
GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES
Lea todas las instrucciones antes de usar la lavavajillas.
Use la lavavajillas únicamente para las funciones que fue
diseñada.
Use únicamente detergentes o agentes de enjuague
recomendados para ser usados en las lavavajillas y
manténgalos fuera del alcance de los niños.
Al introducir los artículos para lavar:
1) Coloque los artículos puntiagudos de manera que no
dañen el sello de la puerta
2) Introduzca los cuchillos filosos con los mangos hacia
arriba para reducir el riesgo de cortaduras.
No lave artículos de plástico que no lleven la indicación
“lavables en la lavavajillas” u otra similar. Lea las
recomendaciones del fabricante para los artículos de
plástico que no lleven tal indicación.
No toque el elemento de calefacción durante o
inmediatamente después de usar la lavavajillas.
No haga funcionar la lavavajillas a menos que todos los
paneles estén colocados debidamente en su lugar.
No juegue con los controles.
No abuse, ni se siente ni se pare sobre la puerta, la tapa o
sobre las canastas de la lavavajillas.
Para reducir el riesgo de lesión, no permita que los niños
jueguen dentro ni sobre la lavavajillas.
Bajo ciertas condiciones, un sistema de agua caliente que
no ha sido usado por dos semanas o más puede producir
gas hidrógeno. EL GAS HIDRÓGENO ES EXPLOSIVO. Si
el sistema de agua caliente no ha sido usado por ese
período, abra todas las llaves de agua caliente y deje que
corra el agua por varios minutos antes de usar la
lavavajillas. Esto permitirá que los gases acumulados
escapen. Debido a que el gas es inflamable, no fume ni
encienda ninguna llama abierta durante este tiempo.
Quite la puerta o la tapa del compartimiento de lavado
cuando remueva o deje de usar para siempre una vieja
lavavajillas.
INSTRUCCIONES DE CONEXIÓN A TIERRA
GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES
Para una lavavajillas con cable eléctrico y conexión a
tierra:
La lavavajillas debe estar conectada a tierra. En caso de
funcionamiento defectuoso o avería, la conexión a tierra
reduce el riesgo de choque eléctrico al establecer una ruta
de menor resistencia para la corriente eléctrica. La
lavavajillas viene equipada con un cable eléctrico que tiene
un conductor para conexión a tierra y un enchufe con
conexión a tierra. El enchufe debe ser conectado a un
contacto apropiado que esté instalado y conectado a tierra
de acuerdo con todos los códigos y ordenanzas locales.
ADVERTENCIA: La conexión inadecuada del
conductor de conexión a tierra puede resultar en riesgo
de choque eléctrico. Pregunte a un electricista
calificado o a un agente de servicio si no está seguro si
la lavavajillas está adecuadamente conectada a tierra.
No modifique el enchufe que viene con la lavavajillas. Si
no cabe en el contacto, pida que un electricista
calificado instale un contacto apropiado.
Para lavavajillas con conexión permanente:
Esta lavavajillas debe estar conectada a un sistema de
cableado de metal permanente, conectado a tierra, o se
debe tender un conducto para la conexión a tierra del
equipo con los conductores de circuito y conectado a la
terminal de tierra del equipo o al conductor de
suministro de la lavavajillas.
Peligro de Vuelco
No use la lavavajillas antes de estar completamente instalada.
No se apoye en la puerta abierta.
No seguir estas instrucciones puede ocasionar heridas serias o cortaduras.
ADVERTENCIA

QUÉ HAY DE NUEVO EN SU LAVAVAJILLAS
Energía
Rendimiento
¡Felicitaciones por haber comprado la lavavajillas con bajo consumo de agua y energía! Esta lavavajillas limpia
rociando la vajilla con agua y hace pausas para permitir que el detergente remoje la vajilla y afloje la suciedad de
los platos. Para obtener una limpieza excepcional, los ciclos se hacen más largos debido al remojo y las pausas.
Varios modelos tienen un sensor óptico de agua. El sensor óptico de agua se usa para determinar el consumo
óptimo de agua y energía para un desempeño de limpieza ideal. Las lavavajillas eficaces funcionan por más tiempo
para ahorrar agua y energía, de la misma manera que se ahorra gasolina cuando se conduce un automóvil más
despacio. El primer ciclo con sensor durará más tiempo para calibrar el sensor óptico.
Agente de enjuague
El uso del agente de enjuague hará óptimo el desempeño de
lavado y secado. Esta lavavajillas ha sido diseñada
específicamente para usarse en conjunto con agente de
enjuague, para obtener un mejor desempeño de secado y
controlar la acumulación de depósitos de agua dura. Las
lavavajillas con bajo consumo de energía usan menos agua y
energía, de modo que dependen de la acción de desplazamiento
del agua por obra del agente de enjuague para asegurar un
óptimo desempeño.
Detergente
Estados Unidos y Canadá han aprobado una restricción que
limita la cantidad de fósforo (fosfatos) en los detergentes para
lavavajillas domésticas a no más de 0,5%, mientras que los
detergentes previos contenían 8,7%. Los principales fabricantes
han reformulado su detergente para lavavajillas de acuerdo a
este cambio, un paso más en la conciencia ecológica. Con estos
cambios, se recomienda usar pastillas y paquetes de calidad por
practicidad y para mejorar el rendimiento.
Sistema de filtración
Su lavavajillas cuenta con lo último en tecnología de filtración
para lavavajillas. El sistema de filtración triple minimiza los
sonidos y optimiza el ahorro de agua y energía mientras
proporciona una limpieza óptima. El mantenimiento periódico de
los filtros hará posible un rendimiento superior de limpieza. Le
sugerimos limpiar el filtro superior e inferior y enjuagarlos bajo
agua del grifo por lo menos una vez al mes.
