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 hazards that can kilt or hurt you and others.
All safety messages wilt be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER" or
"WARNING." These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher.
follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
Use the dishwasher only for itsintended 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 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 pro-
duced 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 min-
utes. 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 compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

The ULTRA WASH* Soil Removal System
Your dishwasher's new ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System is designed to give you sparkling clean dishes in
the shortest amount of time with the least amount of
energy necessary. The ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System includes a heavy duty grinder that acts as a food
disposer to grind and dispose of large food particles.
Here's how the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System works:
1. When you load the dishwasher, all you need to do is
remove bones, large chunks, or burned-on food. Any
remaining food will be ground up and disposed.
2. Hot water fills the dishwasher to a level near the
bottom of the overfill protector.
3. Detergent is added at the correct times from the
detergent dispenser, and hot water is pumped through
the ULTRA WASH pump.
4. Food particles are removed from dishes, pots and
pans, tableware, and cutlery as the dishwasher sprays
a mixture of hot water and detergent through two
spray arms against their soiled surfaces.
5. Food soil in the dishwasher is held in an accumulating
chamber so it does not recirculate into the dishwasher.
6. Water is pumped again through the ULTRA WASH
pump to remove soil particles from the water, and
"hold" them in the accumulating chamber.
7. Soil in the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal System is
disposed down the drain with the wash water.
8. Fresh, hot water enters the dishwasher, sprays on the
dishes to rinse them, and the rinse water is pumped
through the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal System to
remove any remaining soil.
9. Soil that is held in the ULTRA WASH Soil Removal
System is disposed down the drain with the
rinse water.
10. Final rinse water is heated and a rinse agent is added
to prepare the dishes for drying.

Start Up Guide
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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground
connector in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
GROUNDING 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-ground-
ing terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Here is an overview for loading and running your dish-
washer. Refer to the noted pages for more details of
each step.
1. The ULTRA WASH* Soil Removal System is designed
to remove food particles from the wash and rinse
water. Remove only large chunks of food and bones
from your dishes.
2. Properly load the dishwasher _. Make sure nothing
prevents the spray arms from spinning freely []. See
pages 7-9.
3. Add detergent [] and check the rinse agent dis-
penser. Add rinse agent if needed []. See pages 10
and 11.
4. Push door firmly closed El The door latches automat-
ically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwash-
er until water is hot []. Turn off water. See page 11.
5. Press the desired Cycle and Options selections It41.
Turn the Timer knob to the desired cycle to start [].
See pages 12-14.
NOTE: If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles
start and stop as the Timer knob passes each cycle
mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher.
If you prefer, you can set the Timer knob with the door
unlatched.
6
Loading Your
Dishwasher
Load correctly for best washing results. Incorrect load-
ing may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all
or part of the load.
Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dishwasher uses
the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully
loaded machine.
To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
Remove large pieces of food, fruit pits, bones, and
other hard items. The ULTRA WASH* module will
remove food particles from the water. The module con-
tains a chopping device which will reduce the size of
food items.
NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg
shells enter the ULTRA WASH module, you might hear
chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds.
Those sounds are normal when hard items enter the
module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle
screws) get into the ULTRA WASH module. They could
damage the ULTRA WASH module.
Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cere-
als may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a
period of time. Run a Quick Rinse cycle to keep dishes
moist if you do not plan to wash them soon.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the rotating
spray arms.
Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if
possible. It is important for the water spray to reach all
soiled surfaces for best washing. For best drying, water
must be able to drain from all surfaces.
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller
items. (See recommended loading patterns below.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings below.

Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and
draining.
Load glasses in top rack only - bottom rack is not
designed for glasses. Damage may occur.
Place cups and glasses in the rows between prongs.
Placing them over the prongs can lead to breakage.
Secure lightweight items.
China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch
each other during dishwasher operation. Damage
may occur.
Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic
items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.
Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not
move them during the cycle.
To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other
items.
Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in
the top rack.
Load items so they do not cover third level wash tower.
Utensil basket (on some models)
Use this extra capacity basket on the top rack to hold
spatulas, wooden spoons, and similar items.
Small items basket
(on some models)
This basket fits in the top rack. Use it to hold small items
that could otherwise "fly" around inside the dishwasher
during a cycle.
?
Adjustable 3-position top rack
You can raise or lower the rack to fit tall items in either
the top or bottom rack. The high and low positions are
marked on the adjuster on the side facing the center of
the dishwasher.
1. Hold top rack with one hand near adjuster.
2. Pull top of adjuster lever out with other hand.
3. Lift or lower rack to one of the preset positions.
4. Release adjuster lever.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the three remaining adjusters as
needed. The four adjusters can be raised or lowered
separately or together, as desired. The top rack does
not have to be level.
8
Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded
in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces facing inward to
the spray. (See recommended loading patterns below.)
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary
from the drawings below.

Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between prongs and fac-
ing inward to the spray.
Overlap edges of plates for large loads.
Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
Load items so they do not block or cover the spray
tower.
Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop
rotation of the upper or lower spray arm. The spray
arms must move freely.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack
or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: You can remove the basket for easy unloading.
Always unload or remove the basket before unloading
the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silver-
ware.
Mix items in each section of the basket with some
pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray
cannot reach nested items.
IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skew-
ers, forks, etc.) pointing down.
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:
Make sure lightweight load items are secured in
the racks.
Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie
sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with
the spray arm's rotation.
Load dishes so they do not touch one another.
NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher
operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.
Your Part in Cleaning Dishes
@ _ 5 ¸ _ _ _
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other
detergents are too mild and much too sudsy.
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in
better cleaning.
Filling the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser [] has one section with a cover
and one without. Push the cover down firmly until it latch-
es. Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher
when closing the door. The covered section opens auto-
matically for the main wash. It is normal for the cover to
open partially when dispensing detergent.
NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with two washes.
Use only the covered section for cycles with one wash.
See the cycles chart for more details.
Cover Cover latch
Main wash section Pre-wash section
The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.
Find out your water's hardness by asking the water softener department in your local Sears store or your local water
department.
WATER HARDNESS
Soft to Medium Hard Water
0 to 6 grains per gallon
AMOUNT OF DETERGENT
For normal loads:
Partiallyfill the Main Wash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)
Fill the Pre-Wash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)
NOTE: Add only 1 tablespoon or 15 grams of detergent to the Pre-Wash section if
dishes are prerinsed or water is very soft.
For heavily soiled loads:
Fill the Main Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams)
Fillthe Pre-Wash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)
Medium to Hard Water For normal and heavily soiled loads:
7 to 12 grains per gallon Fill the Main Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams)
Fillthe Pre-Wash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated
powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated pow-
dered detergent.
10
A rinse agent greatly improves dish drying and helps pre-
vent spots or streaks. The rinse agent helps water flow off
dishes and keeps water from forming droplets. A small
amount of rinse agent automatically releases into the final
rinse water.
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid
rinse agent, For best drying results, periodically check
the dispenser as follows to see if it needs filling:
Check center of rinse aid indicator cap Iml. Clear
means it needs filling.
OR
Remove rinse aid indicator cap. An "E" is visible at the
bottom of the dispenser when empty I_.
To fill dispenser:
1. Open dishwasher door completely.
2. Remove rinse aid indicator cap.
3. Add rinse agent I_l. Fill only to smallest opening in
lower part of dispenser. Overfilling may cause rinse
agent to leak out. This will not harm the dishwasher,
but could cause oversudsing.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
5. Replace rinse aid indicator cap. Keep it closed tightly.
NOTES:
Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse agent.
Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse agent.
The rinse agent dispenser holds 6 ounces (175 mL).
Under normal conditions, this lasts about 3 months.
You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty
before refilling, but do not overfill it.
Y_J e
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing deter-
gent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and
helps dry glasses spot-free. For best dishwashing results,
water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dish-
washer. Loads may not wash as well if the water temper-
ature is too low.
NOTE: Use the Water Heat option on your dishwasher if
you keep your water heater at a low setting. For more in-
formation, see "Dishwasher seems to run too long" in the
"Troubleshooting Guide" section.
To check water temperature:
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
for at least 1 minute.
2. Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer placed in the running stream of water Iml.
3. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F
(49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's
thermostat setting.

Caring for Your Dishwasher
Refer to the "Troubleshooting Guide" section for special cleaning problems.
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.
Cleaning the interior
Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build up
on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door
area.
To clean interior:
Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a damp
sponge to make a paste.
OR
Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean
with damp sponge.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.
Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser
other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause
foaming or sudsing.
15
Moving or 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 a qualified person do the
following:
1. Disconnect power supply to the dishwasher.
2. Turn off water supply to the dishwasher.
3. Remove the 4 screws on the lower access panel and
