Using the dishwasher.

SmartDis ent Dispenser (some models)

This dishwasher may have SmartDispenseTM,a

feature which automatically dispenses liquid

automatic dishwasher detergent into each cycle

based on soil level and water hardness. To utilize

the SmartDispenseTMDetergent Dispenser, it must

first be filled. Although any liquid or gel automatic

dishwashing detergent can be used in the

SmortDispense*Msystem, all liquid or gel automatic

dishwashing detergents are not the same. Host

automatic dishwashing detergents are chlorine

bleach-based (such as Cascade®)while others

contain enzymes (such as Cascade Complete®).

Do not mix ang chlorine bleach-based automatic

dishwashing detergent with ang dishwashing

detergent containing enzgmes as this could

cause the detergents to congeal and lead to

blockage of the SmartDispense*" sgstem.

Check the detergent label to determine if the

detergent is chlorine bleach-based or one that

contains enzymes. It is recommended that the

same type of detergent be used when refilling

your SmartDispense*Msystem.

,_ CAUT_ON_ Absolutely do not add

powder detergent, tablets or any liquid soap

or detergent normally used for washing hands

or dishes in a sink. Only use liquid or gel

detergent specifically designed for use in

an automatic dishwasher.

To open the dispenser for filling, push down and

turn the blue cap counterclockwise until the cap is

loose. Lift cap off.

Setthe door at a comfortable angle to fill the

dispenser.

Aim the detergent bottle at the opening in the door

and begin to fill.

The dispenser will hold/45 oz of liquid dishwasher

detergent (standard size bottle).

Turnclockwise.

When full, replace the cap and turn clockwise until

tight to ensure no water enters the SmartDispense_M

dispenser.If residue is left on the door, it will be

washed off in the next cycle.

An indicator light will turn on to notify you when

the dispenser needs to be filled again. After filling,

the light will not turn off until the door isclosed. A

Water Hardness Calibration

Prior to the first use, the dishwasher needs

to be calibrated for water hardness. Pleasefollow

the directions below to calibrate the dishwasher

to the hardness of gour tap water.

Determine the Hardness of Your Tap Water

In the bag that contained these instructions, gou

should find a water hardness test strip package.

Readthe instructions on the package, remove the

test strip and follow the instructions to determine

the hardness level of gour tap water. You will use

this information to calibrate gour dishwasher to

dispense the optimal amount of detergent.

Loading the dishwasher racks.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware

baskets may vary from your model.

Upper Rack

Although the upper rack isprimarily for

glasses,cups and saucers, pots and pans can

be placed inthis rack for effective cleaning.

Cupsand glassesfit best along the sides.This

isalso a secure place for dishwasher plastics.

Theutility shelf (somemodels)may be placed

in the up or down position to add flexibility.A

wine glass holder (somemodels)secureswine

glassesfor best washability.

Somemodels havecontoured metal cup

shelvesthat can secure up to 12wine glasses

(asshown).

Becausewine glassescome in various sizes,

after loading,slowly push in the rack to make

surethey will clearthe top of the dishwasher.

Somemodels havean Angled RackSystem,

which allows you to angle your dishes,such

as coffee mugs,for better cleaning and

quicker drying. To position the tines,pull the

leverforward then drop the tines into

position,then releasethe lever.

Theupper rack isgood for all kinds of

odd-shaped utensils.Saucepans,mixing

bowls and other items should be placed face

down. Fold-down tines (onsome models)

provide flexibility for extra-large and hard-

to-fit items.

Securelarger dishwasher-safe plastics over

2 tines when possible.

Makesure small plastic items are secure so

they can't fall onto the heater.

Besurethat items do not protrude through

the bottom of the rack and block rotation of

the middle spray arm. This could result in

poor wash performance for items in the

upper rack.

Checkto make surethat no items will block

rotation of the wash arm.

Lower Rack

The lower rack is best usedfor plates,saucers

and cookware. Largeitems such as broiler

pansand baking racksshould go along the

left-hand side.Load platters, pots and bowls

along the sides,in corners or in the back.The

soiled sideof items should face the center of

the rack. If necessary,oversizedglassesand

mugs can be placed in the lower rack to

maximize loading flexibility.

Also,be careful not to leta portion of an item

such asa pot or dish handle extend through

the bottom rack.This could block the wash

arm and cause poor washing results.

Fold-down tines (on some models) provide

flexibility for extra-large and hard-to-fit items.

Thetines may be left in the up position or

folded down to customizethe lower rack.

air gaps,so you may not have one.

The air gap is easy to clean.
