All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

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 potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

follow instructions.

DANGER

WARNING

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

Congratulations on purchasing your water- and energy-efcient 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. Efcient dishwashers run

longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. The rst cycle using the

sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.

Performance

Rinse Aid

Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance. This

dishwasher is specically designed to be used with rinse aid for improved

drying performance and controlling buildup of hard water deposits. The use

of rinse aid greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes

after the nal rinse. Rinse aid also keeps water from forming droplets that can

dry as spots or streaks.

Detergent

The United States and Canada have passed restrictions limiting the amount

of phosphorus (phosphates) in household dishwasher detergents to reduce

the impact of detergents on our environment. Major manufacturers have

reformulated their dishwasher detergent. With these recent changes it is

recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and improved

performance.

Filtration System

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher ltration. This triple

ltration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation

while providing optimal cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both your

upper and lower lters and rinse under running water according to the chart in

the Filtration System section. Maintenance of your lters regularly will sustain

peak cleaning performance.

lters can be found at the bottom

center of your dishwasher.

See “Filtration System” section

for information on removing and

maintaining the lters.

Drying – Rinse aid is essential

You must use a drying agent such

as a rinse aid for good drying

performance. Rinse aid along with

the Heat Dry and Extended Heat

Dry option will provide best drying

and avoid excessive moisture in

dishwasher interior.

Extended Heat Dry

For best drying use the Extended

Heated Dry option.

Express Wash – When you need fast results

Efcient dishwashers run longer

to save water and energy, just

as driving a car slower saves on

gas. When you need fast results,

the Express Wash will clean your

dishes using slightly more water and

energy. Select the Heat Dry option

to include automatic drying (adds

approximately 38 to 45 minutes to

the Express Wash cycle).

ProWash™ cycle for optimal cleaning

The most advanced and versatile

cycle. ProWash™ cycle senses the

soil amount and toughness of soil to

adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning

using only the amount of water and

energy needed. The ProWash™ and

Tough cycles are recommended

for tough soil. No need to pre-rinse

dishes; just scrape leftover food into

the trash or disposal and load.

Press Start/RESUME every time you add a dish

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the

door (such as, to add a dish, even

during the Delay hours), the Start/

RESUME button must be pressed

each time. Push door rmly closed

within 4 seconds of pressing

Start/RESUME. If the door is not

closed within 4 seconds, the Start/

RESUME button LED will ash, an

audible tone will be heard, and the

cycle will not start.

Proper Detergent Dosing

We recommend quality tablets and packs for convenience and

improved performance.

When using other forms of detergent, it is possible to use

too much. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Add

Detergent” in the Dishwasher Use section, to determine the

amount of detergent needed based on soil level and water

hardness.

Quick Steps

Remove bulk food and load dishwasher.

Scrape off excess food

into garbage or food

disposer.

Load dishes so that water

spray will reach every

surface.

Add detergent and rinse aid.

Select a cycle and options (varies by model).

Start the dishwasher.

To start and resume a cycle, press

Start/RESUME and close the door

within 4 seconds. If the door is not

closed within 4 seconds, the Start/

RESUME LED will ash, an audible

tone will sound, and the cycle will

not start.

Unload dishwasher and clean

the lter.

See “Recommended Time

Interval to Clean Your

Filter” in the “Filtration

System” section for the

recommended cleaning

schedule.

SLIDE

Dishwasher Use

STEP 1

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 nothing blocks the upper or lower spray arm.

Items in rack can block

the spray arms.

■ Check that when the dishwasher door is closed, no items are

blocking the detergent dispenser.

■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down

and inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above.

This will improve cleaning and drying results. Angle dirtiest

dish surface downward, allowing space for water to ow up

through rack and between dishes.

■ Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates that may trap

food.

■ Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in upper rack. Wash

only 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.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing

down. Mix items in each section of the basket with some

pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot

reach nested items.

■ Use the slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns

to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.

STEP 2

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 lming on

dishes. Using tablets and packs

over time will start to reduce or

eliminate white lm. They are

suitable for all hardness and soil

levels. Also, by using a

rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white lm (not all

packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured

detergents in main compartment and close the lid.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other

dishwasher detergent types or use the chart below for standard

powdered detergents.

■ 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.

Place selected detergent in

the dispenser. Place nger, as

shown, and slide lid closed.

Press rmly until it clicks.

Push OPEN, as shown, and

the lid will slide open.

*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 difcult 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.

STEP 3

Add Rinse Aid

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid.

The use of rinse aid greatly improves drying by allowing water to

drain from the dishes after the nal 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

one to three months.

NOTE: Indicator reads correct ll 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 overll.

3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid.

Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.

4. Close the dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.

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.

If you change the setting only change it one number at a time

and run a few cycles before changing it again. Too much rinse

aid can reduce cleaning performance and too little may leave

spots or rings.

STEP 4

Select a Cycle

Efcient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just

as driving a car slower saves gas. Cycle times may increase or

decrease depending on selections. Estimated cycle times after

calibration are listed in the “Cycle and Option Descriptions”

chart in the following section. Select the desired cycle by

pressing the Cycles button. Each time you press the Cycles

button, it will advance to the next available cycle.

Select Options

See the “Cycle and Option Descriptions” chart in the following

section.

You can customize the cycles by selecting the options desired

and pressing the Start/RESUME keypad.

STEP 5

Start or Resume a Cycle

■ If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher

until the water is hot. Turn off water.

■ For best dish washing results, water should be 120ºF (49ºC)

as it enters the dishwasher.

■ Select the wash cycle and options desired.

To repeat the same cycle and options used

previously, press the Start/RESUME

keypad twice. Within 4 seconds of pressing

Start/RESUME, you must rmly push the

door closed. If the door is not closed within

4 seconds, the Start/RESUME LED will ash

an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle

will not start.

■ You can add an item at the beginning of the cycle. Open

the door slowly and add the item. Press the Start/RESUME

keypad and close the door rmly within 4 seconds. If the

door has been open more than 4 seconds, the LED will ash

a tone will sound and the dishwasher will not resume unless

you press Start/RESUME again.

IMPORTANT: If the door has been opened for more than a few

seconds after the cycle has started (even during the Delay time),

the Start/RESUME button must be pressed again or the cycle

will not resume.

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 any time before the selected option begins. At each stage of the 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.

CYCLE SELECTIONS

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 ltration. This ltration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and

energy conservation while providing superior cleaning.

The lter system consists of two parts, an upper lter assembly

and a lower lter.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher

without lters properly installed. Be sure lower lter is securely in place and

upper lter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly turns freely, it is not

locked into place.

The lters may need to be cleaned when:

■ Visible objects or soils are on the upper lter assembly.

■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

It is very easy to remove and maintain the lters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

RECOMMENDED TIME INTERVAL TO CLEAN YOUR FILTER

Number of Loads Per Week If you only scrape before

4–7 Every 4 months Once per year Once per year

1–3 Twice per year Once per year Once per year

*Scrape excess food into the trash or food disposer prior to loading the dishwasher. 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 lter at least

once per month. Buildup of white residue on your dishwasher

indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see

the “Troubleshooting” section.

Filter Removal Instructions

1. Turn the upper lter assembly a quarter turn

counterclockwise and lift out.

2. Separate the upper lter assembly by gently pulling apart.

3. Clean the lters as shown.

Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brushes, scouring pads, etc., as

they may damage the lters.

Rinse lter 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.

Filter Reinstallation Instructions

1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the lower lter under

the locating tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher, so the

round opening for the upper lter assembly lines up with the

round opening in the bottom of the tub.

2. Insert the upper lter assembly into the circular opening in

the lower lter.

3. Slowly rotate the lter clockwise until it drops into place.

Continue to rotate until the lter is locked into place. If the

lter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the

lter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

NOTE: The upper lter assembly arrow does not have to

align with the arrow in the lower lter as long as the lter is

locked.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate

Dishwasher Care

Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and

mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior,

it has a coating that is resistant to ngerprints. Avoid using

abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior

Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on

dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this

residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher

performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as

affresh

† Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue.

Monthly use of affresh

† Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended

to help maintain the dishwasher.

To Use:

1. If cleaning without dishes, place one tablet in the detergent

dispenser. Do not add detergent (If signicant buildup is

noticeable, a second tablet can be placed in the bottom of

the dishwasher.)

2. If cleaning with dishes, place one tablet in the bottom of the

dishwasher. Place detergent in the dispenser.

3. Run a Normal wash cycle.

Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar

rinse. However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could

damage your dishwasher.

Place (do not pour), 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.

NOTE: KitchenAid

recommends the use of high-quality,

premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid

for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.

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 line

scan 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.

If you have a drain air gap,

check and clean it if the

dishwasher isn’t draining well.

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, press Start/RESUME and close the door within 4

seconds.

Be sure the door is closed and latched.

■ Check that there is not an interference between 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.

Press the Start/RESUME or Cancel keypads or open and close the door before selecting

your cycle/option. Controls must be awakened after a period of inactivity.

Be sure the Control/Lock feature is not on. If the control lock indicator is lit, press and

hold Sani Rince for 3 seconds. The Control Lock LED will turn off and you can then

operate the controls.

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. If the numeric display shows a code “F2E2” 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 the “Cycle and Option Descriptions”

section. The Heat Dry or Extended Heat Dry option adds approximately 45 minutes.

Try the Express 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 difcult to dry because they have a

porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.

Use of rinse aid along with the Heat Dry or Extended Heat Dry option is needed for proper

drying.

Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specic 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 rst.

■ Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.

WILL NOT FILL Be sure the water to the dishwasher is turned on.

Check that the overll protection oat is free from obstructions. See the “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 ll with water. See “Blinking Lights” in the “Troubleshooting”

section.

PROBLEM SOLUTION

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 pressing Start/RESUME and closing the door within 4 seconds.

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 difcult 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 lters 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 or

ProDry™ 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 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 lters 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 the “Dishwasher Use” section.

Check lter 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 Tough 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 ll 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 lling (or relling) the rinse aid.

■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.

■ Inadequately 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

nal 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 specic loading

instructions within this guide.)

PROBLEM SOLUTION

BLINKING LIGHTS Blinking indicators will occur when the cycle is paused or when the cycle has been

interrupted by opening the door. If the Start/Resume light is blinking, press the

Start/RESUME keypad and close the door within 4 seconds.

See “Start or RESUME a Cycle” in the “Dishwasher Use” section.

If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, call for

service.

CLOUDY OR SPOTTED

DISHWARE (AND HARD WATER

SOLUTION)

Add or adjust the amount of liquid rinse aid for better drying and to reduce spotting. See the

“Detergent and Rinse Aid” section.

Use the correct amount of detergent.

Conrm 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 Hi 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, using too much detergent with soft water, or pre-washing. 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

pre-washing, 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 overow. 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

overlling.

TUB IS DISCOLORED 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.

DANGER

AVERTISSEMENT

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT :

Lors de l’utilisation de ce lave-vaisselle, il convient d’observer certaines précautions fondamentales,

dont :

CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

Lire toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser le lave-vaisselle.

Utiliser le lave-vaisselle uniquement pour laver de la vaisselle.

Utiliser seulement des détergents et agents de rinçage

recommandés pour les lave-vaisselle. Garder ces produits

hors de la portée des enfants.

Lors du chargement d’articles à laver :

1) Placer les articles coupants pour qu’ils ne risquent pas

d’endommager le joint de la porte; et

2) Placer les couteaux poignée vers le haut pour réduire

les risques de blessure.

Ne pas laver d’articles en plastique, sauf s’il est indiqué

“lavable au lave-vaisselle” ou une mention équivalente. Pour

les articles en plastique qui ne sont pas ainsi identifiés,

vérifier les recommandations du fabricant.

Ne pas toucher les éléments chauffants pendant ou

immédiatement après l’utilisation.

Ne pas mettre en marche le lave-vaisselle si un panneau

de l’enceinte n’est pas correctement installé.

Ne pas effectuer d’intervention non autorisée sur les

commandes.

Ne pas abuser de, s’asseoir sur ou se mettre debout sur la

porte, le couvercle ou les paniers à vaisselle du lave-vais-

selle.

Pour réduire les risques de blessure, ne pas laisser les

enfants jouer dans ou près du lave-vaisselle.

Dans certaines conditions, un système d’eau chaude qui

n’a pas été utilisé depuis 2 semaines ou plus peut produire

de l’hydrogène. L’HYDROGÈNE EST UN GAZ EXPLOSIF. Si

le système d’eau chaude est resté inutilisé pendant une

telle période, ouvrir tous les robinets d’eau chaude et laisser

l’eau s’en écouler pendant plusieurs minutes avant d’utiliser

le lave-vaisselle. Ceci libérera toute accumulation

d’hydrogène. Le gaz est inflammable : ne pas fumer ou

utiliser une flamme nue durant cette période.

Enlever la porte ou le couvercle du compartiment de

lavage lorsqu’on cesse d’utiliser un vieux lave-vaisselle

ou qu’on le jette.

INSTRUCTIONS DE LIAISON À LA TERRE

CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS

Pour un lave-vaisselle avec liaison à la terre et cordon

d’alimentation :

Ce lave-vaisselle doit être relié à la terre En cas d’anomalie

de fonctionnement ou de panne, la liaison à la terre réduira

le risque de décharge électrique en offrant au courant

électrique un itinéraire d’évacuation de moindre résistance.

Le lave-vaisselle est doté d’un cordon électrique

comportant un conducteur de mise à la terre d’équipement

et une fiche de branchement de liaison à la terre. La fiche

doit être branchée à une prise de courant appropriée, bien

installée et reliée à la terre conformément à tous les codes

et règlements locaux.

AVERTISSEMENT : Un raccordement inapproprié du

conducteur de mise à la terre de l’équipement peut causer

un risque de décharge électrique.

Vérifier avec un électricien ou un représentant de service

qualifié en cas de doute quant à la qualité de la liaison à la

terre du lave-vaisselle. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie

avec ce lave-vaisselle; si elle ne correspond pas à la prise

de sortie, faire installer une prise appropriée par un

électricien qualifié.

Pour un lave-vaisselle branché en permanence :

Le lave-vaisselle doit être raccordé à un système de

câblage permanent en métal relié à la terre; si ce n’est pas

le cas, un conducteur de mise à la terre d’équipement doit

être en fonction avec les conducteurs de circuit et

raccordés à la borne de mise à la terre d’équipement ou la

borne sur le lave-vaisselle.

Risque de basculement

Ne pas utiliser le lave-vaisselle avant qu’il ne soit complètement installé.

Ne pas appuyer sur la porte ouverte.

Le non-respect de cette instruction peut causer des blessures ou des coupures graves.

AVERTISSEMENT

Avertissements de la Proposition65 de l’État de la Californie:

AVERTISSEMENT: Ce produit contient au moins un produit chimique connu par l’État de la Californie pour être à l’origine de cancers.

AVERTISSEMENT: Ce produit contient au moins un produit chimique connu par l’État de la Californie pour être à l’origine de

Quoi de neuf dans votre lave-vaisselle

Énergie

Félicitations pour l’achat de ce lave-vaisselle éconergique à faible consommation d’eau! Pour nettoyer

les articles, ce lave-vaisselle asperge la vaisselle d’eau puis fait une pause pour permettre au détergent

d’imprégner et de dissoudre les saletés. Les périodes de trempage et de pause prolongent la durée des

programmes pour un nettoyage exceptionnel.

Ce lave-vaisselle comporte un capteur optique d’eau. Le capteur optique d’eau détermine le niveau de

consommation d’eau et d’énergie optimal pour un meilleur nettoyage. Les lave-vaisselle éconergiques

fonctionnent plus longtemps pour économiser de l’eau et de l’énergie, tout comme une vitesse de conduite

réduite permet d’économiser du carburant. Le calibrage du capteur optique entraînera l’allongement du

premier programme qui l’utilise.

Performance

Agent de rinçage

Utiliser un agent de rinçage pour une performance de lavage et de

séchage optimale. An d’améliorer la performance de séchage et de limiter

l’accumulation de dépôts d’eau dure, ce lave-vaisselle est spéciquement

conçu pour être utilisé avec un agent de rinçage. L’utilisation d’agents de

rinçage améliore nettement le séchage en permettant à l’eau de s’écouler de

la vaisselle après le rinçage nal. Un agent de rinçage empêche aussi l’eau

de former des gouttelettes qui peuvent laisser des taches ou des coulées en

séchant.

Détergent

Les États-Unis et le Canada ont voté des restrictions limitant la quantité de

phosphore (phosphates) présent dans les détergents domestiques pour lave-

vaisselle et réduire l’impact des détergents sur notre environnement. Les plus

gros fabricants ont reformulé leurs détergents pour lave-vaisselle. En raison

de ces récents changements, il est recommandé d’utiliser des pastilles et des

sachets pour une plus grande simplicité d’utilisation et pour une meilleure

performance.

Système de ltration

Ce lave-vaisselle est équipé de la plus récente technologie en matière de

ltration. Ce système de triple ltration minimise le niveau sonore et optimise le

niveau de consommation d’eau et d’énergie tout en permettant un nettoyage

optimal. Nous vous suggérons de nettoyer le ltre supérieur et inférieur et de

rincer le système sous l’eau du robinet en suivant les consignes du tableau de

la section Système de ltration. Pour une performance de nettoyage optimale,

entretenir régulièrement les ltres.
