This guide contains safety symbols and statements. Please pay special attention to these
symbols and follow any instructionsgiven. Here is a brief explanation ofthe use of the symbol.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - When using your dishwasher,
follow basic precautions, including the
following:
Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended
function.
Use only detergents or rinse agents recom-
mended for use in a dishwasher, and keep
them out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so that they are not
likely to damage the door seal.
- Load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
DOnot 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 your 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 racksof the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on a 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.
Ifthe hot water system has not been used
for such a period, before using the dish-
washer turn on all hot water faucets and
letthe 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 to the washing compart-
ment when removing an old dishwasher
from service or discarding it.

2. Spin the upper spray arm. It should turn
freely. Check the lower
spray arm also to
make sure it turns
freely.
3. Add detergent. See pages 15-16.
4. Add rinse agent if needed. See page 17.
5. Push door firmly when closing.
6. Press the desired Wash Selection pad. See
the "Cycle selection
chart" on page 18.
Then press the desired
Option(s) pad(s). See

This section tells you how to properly load your dishwasher for the best washing
and rinsing results.
Preparing to load the dishwasher
Scrape leftover food, bones, toothpicks,
and other hard items from dishes. It is not
necessary to rinse dishes before putting
them into the dishwasher.
Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the
spray (down or inward). It is important for
the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
"Take care when loading heavy pots or pans
into the dishwasher. They can dent the
stainless steel interior of the door if they are
dropped or bumped.
Make sure pot lids and handles do not touch
interior walls or interfere with the spray arm
rotation.
Run a Rinse Only cycle to keep dishes
moist if you do not plan to wash them soon.
Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and
cooked cereals may be hard to remove if
they are left to dry.
Loading the upper rack
The upper rack is designed for cups,
glasses, and other small items.
,, Load cups and glasses in the upper rack
only, in the rows between the prongs.
Placing them over the prongs can cause
them to chip or break.
', China, crystal, and other delicate items
must not touch each other during dish-
washer operation. Damage may occur.
Place items so open ends face down for
best cleaning and draining.
Load plastic items securely in the upper
rack only. Wash only plastic items marked
"dishwasher safe".
,, Secure lightweight items so they don't
overturn during washing. Wedge light-
weight items against one another or
overlap them with heavier dishes. (See
page 10 on using the Sure-Hold clips.)
Load bowls in the center section for best
stability.
Cup and glass load
Mixed load
Loading the upper rack (cont.)
Sure-Hold cup shelf
Fold down the extra shelf on the top rack to
hold additional cups and glasses, or small
items like long utensils and spatulas.
Cup shelf
FiexiSptit fold-down tines
The row of split tines on the right side of the
rack are adjustable to accommodate a
variety of dishes. These adjustable tines
have blue caps.
To adjust the front half, move the adjustor
at the front of the rack towards the right to
wedge plastic or other lightweight items
against the side of the rack. Move the
adjuster left to make room for larger
dishes.
To adjust the back half, push the tines
down gently toward the center of the rack.
Flexi Fold-Down tines
The row of tines on the left side of the rack
are also adjustable. Push the tines down
gently toward the center of the rack to make
room for larger dishes.
Loading the upper rack (cont.)
Stemware holders
Use the stemware holders (attached to the
cup shelf) to keep water goblets, wine
glasses, etc., in place and prevent damage
during washing.
Stemware holder
Sure-Hold clips
The Sure-H01d clips hold lightweight plastic
items like cups, lids, or bowls in place during
washing. Move a clip anywhere in the rack
by pulling it up and off the tine and reposi-
tioning itin another tine.
Sure-Hold clip
Loading the lower rack
The lower rack is designed for plates, pans,
casseroles, and utensils.
Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food
in the lower rack with soiled surfaces facing
in toward the spray.
For maximum capacity and stability of an
all-plate load, stagger or overlap small
plates with large ones.
Load plates side to side along with pots,
pans, and large cookware, as shown.
Do not put small items in the lower rack if
they are not secured in place.
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 prongs. Do not nest
bowls because the spray won't reach their
surfaces.
Do not load items between the bottom rack
and the side of the dishwasher tub. This
can block the water inlet opening.
The FLEXIBASKET* silverware basket can
be separated and placed into the lower
rack in several locations. Hold basket firmly
and pull apart. Now use both sections or
just one to load silverware.
Utensil load
Mixed load
Loading the lower rack (cont.)
Sure-Hold cup shelf
Fold down the extra shelf on the left side of
the lower rack to hold small items such as
cups or utensils.
Flexi Fold-Down Tines
Fold down one or both of the back rows of
tines to hold large bowls, pots, pans, roast-
ers, etc. Push down gently towards the back
of the rack to fold down the tines.
Loading the Flexi-Basket silverware basket
The FLEXlBASKET* silverware basket can
be separated and placed into the lower
rack in several locations. Hold basket firmly
and pull apart. Now use both sections or
just one to load silverware.
Load the silverware basket while it is in
the lower rack or take the basket out for
loading on a counter or table.
° Mix items in each section of the basket-
some pointing up and some down.
IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items
(knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing down.
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar
lids, corn cob holders, etc., in the middle
section with the hinged cover. Close the
cover over the section to hold small items
in place.
Load forks and spoons so they don't
nest together. Water spray cannot reach
nested items.
,, The silverware basket can also be removed
for easy unloading. Unload or remove the
basket before unloading the upper rack
to avoid spilling water droplets on the
silverware.
NOTES:
Don't load silver or silver-plated silverware
with stainless steel. These metals can be
damaged by contact with one another
during washing.
Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk
products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode
silverware if left on for long periods of time.
Use the Rinse Only cycle when silverware
is not washed immediately after use.
If you have any doubts about washing a particular item, check with the manufac-
turer to see if it is dishwasher safe.

PRE-WASH
Using the detergent dispenser
What type of detergent to use
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only.
NOTE: Never use soap, hand-dishwashing
detergent, or laundry detergent. These
products will produce excessive suds which
could cause floodingand reduce washing
performance.
Follow manufacturer's instructionswhen
using powdered, liquid,or gel dishwasher
detergents. Concentrated (Ultra) powdered
detergents usually call for lower usage than
do standard powdered detergents.
', Add detergent to the dispenser just before
starting the dishwasher.
Keep detergent container tightly closed in a
cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
After opening, a box of detergent should
stay fresh for about one month. Detergent
exposed to moisture over a period of time
might become caked and ineffective.
How much detergent to use
WATER HARDNESS AMOUNT OF DETERGENT
Soft to Medium Hard
Water
0-6 grains per gallon
For normal loads:
- Partially fill the Main Wash section (2 tablespoons or
30 grams)
Fill the Prewash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)
NOTE: Add only 1 tablespoon or 15 grams of detergent
to the Prewash section ifdishes are prerinsed or water is
very soft.
For heavily soiled loads:
Fillthe Main Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams)
Fillthe Prewash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)
Medium to Hard Water
6-12 grains per gallon
,, Fill the Main Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams)
,_Fill the Prewash section (2 tablespoons or 30 grams)
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 may need to use
more detergent, or use a detergent with a
phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
. Excessive amounts of detergent combined
with soft water may cause etching of
glassware.
NOTE: Water hardness may change over a
period of time. Contact your local water utility
or area water softening company to determine
your water hardness, or order water hardness
test strip part number 4171690 through the
Consumer Assistance Center.
Using the rinse agent dispenser
A rinse agent prevents water from forming
droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It
also improves drying by allowing water to
drain off the dishes during the final rinse by
releasing a small amount of the rinse agent
into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse agent. Do not
use a solid or bar-type rinse agent.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 5.2 fluid
ounces of rinse agent. Under normal
conditions, this will last for about three
months. You do not have to wait until the
dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it
full, but be careful not to overfill it.
!. Make sure the dishwasher door is
fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to Open and lift
it out.
3. Add rinse agent until the indicator window
looks full. If you overfill, the excess rinse
agent may overflow the dispenser and
cause oversudsing during the wash cycle.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn it
to Closed.
Indicator Dispenser
window knob
Rinse agent setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the
final wash can be adjusted. The factory
setting is at 2. For most water conditions set
the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or
calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a
higher setting (4, 5, or 6).
To adjust setting
Remove the dispenser knob, ther_turn
