9 WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

This appliance 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. This appliance

is equipped with a cord having

an equipment-grounding

conductor.

Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor

can result in risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt

whether the appliance is

properly grounded.

Safe Operation

Use this dishwasher only for its

intended function, which is the

washing of household dishware and

kitchenware rated as dishwasher

safe.

Use only detergents or rinsing agents

recommended for use in a

dishwasher, and keep them out of

the reach of children.

9 CAUTION

When loading items to be

washed:

■ Locate sharp items so they

are not likely to damage the

door seal.

■ Load knives and other sharp

utensils with their 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 operate your

dishwasher unless all

enclosure panels are in

place.

■ Do not tamper with or

override controls and

interlocks.

Do not abuse, sit or stand on the

door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY!

use caution when opening the

door during or following a wash

cycle as hot water or steam

may escape. Do not fully open

the door until water noises have

stopped and steam has

subsided.

NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential

dishwashers are not intended for

licensed food establishments.

Proper Care and Maintenance

9 WARNING

RISK OF EXPLOSION!

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. Before using a

dishwasher that is connected to

a hot water system that has

been unused for two weeks or

longer, 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 explosive, do not

smoke or use an open flame

during this time.

Remove the dishwasher door to the

washing compartment when

removing an old dishwasher for

service or discarding.

To avoid floor damage and possible

mold growth, do not allow wet areas

to remain around or under the

dishwasher.

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not

allow water to remain in your

dishwasher systems through

extended periods of freezing

temperatures. Freezing temperatures

can damage the water fill valve and

potentially other components of your

dishwasher.

NOTICE

It is highly recommended for the end

user to become familiar with the

procedure to shut off the incoming

water supply and the procedure to

shut off the incoming power supply.

See the Installation Instructions or

contact your installer for more

information.

+ Water softening

system / special salt

Wat er s of t eni ng syst em / spec i al sal t

To ensure good rinsing results, the

dishwasher requires soft water, i.e.

water which is low in lime, otherwise

limescale will be deposited on the

utensils and interior container. Tap

water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l)

must be softened. The water

is softened with special salt

(regeneration salt) in the water

softening system of the dishwasher.

The setting and therefore the

required amount of salt depends on

the degree of hardness of your tap

water (see following water hardness

table).

Instructions for use of

included “Water Hardness

Test Strip”

Only use salt designed for automatic

dishwashers. Never use household

water softener salt or table salt.

Follow the instructions below for the

included test strip. (If purchasing a

different test strip, follow

manufacturers instructions).

1.

Run the water at the kitchen sink

for 5 minutes.

2.

Dip the end of the test strip with

the colored squares into the tap

water for 1 second and shake off

excess water.

3.

After one minute, compare the

test strip to the chart below and

determine the Dishwasher Water

Softener setting.

4.

Adjust the dishwasher Water

Softener setting. ~ "Adjusting

the water softening system"

on page 14

5.

If required, add salt to the

softening system! Never pour

detergent into the salt dispenser.

Top off the salt as follows:

1.

Undo the screw plug on the

dispenser 1Z.

2.

Fill the dispenser with water

(required only when switching on

the appliance for the first time).

3.

Add salt as illustrated (do not use

table salt, salt tablets or salt for

use with whole house water

softeners).

The water is displaced and runs

out.

For more information about buying

dishwasher salt, please contact

customer service (1-800-944-2904).

Glass and silverware

damage

Causes:

■ Glass type.

■ Type of dishwasher detergent.

■ Water temperature of the wash

cycle.

Recommendation:

■ Use only glasses and porcelain

which the manufacturer

designates as dishwasher-safe.

■ Use a detergent which protects

silverware.

■ Use less intensive wash cycles

possible after the wash cycle

ends.

Loading the racks

For best dishwashing results,

observe the following when loading

the dishwasher:

■ Do not pre-wash items with

loosely attached food soil.

■ Remove all food particles, bones,

toothpicks and excessive grease.

■ Pre-treat items having burned-on,

baked-on or starchy soils.

■ Load dishes in the dishwasher

racks so the insides of bowls,

pots and pans are facing the

spray arms.

■ Avoid nesting and contact points

between dishes.

■ Separate items of dissimilar

metals. Use care to not block

movement of the spray arms.

■ Only wash household dishware

and kitchenware rated as

dishwasher-safe.

Refer to the Dishware Materials

section for more information

about dishware suitability.

NOTICE

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not

load the dishwasher with paper

products, plastic bags, packing

Place knives and sharp utensils with

their handles up and forks and

spoons with their handles down. If

large or oddly-shaped items are

loaded in the silverware basket, be

sure they do not nest together.

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY!

The sharp points and edges of

knives and other sharp utensils

can cause serious injury. Load

knives and other sharp utensils

with edges down. Do not allow

children to handle or play near

knives and sharp utensils.

This dishwasher is equipped with a

silverware drawer that should

accommodate most silverware

loading needs.

However, if you are washing while the

silverware drawer has been removed,

or with excess silverware, a

silverware basket is also included.

When loading the silverware basket

you should avoid excessive contact

points and nesting of similar items

(allowing two spons to rest inside

one another).

A good way to avoid excessive

contact points is to load the

silverware basket with the lids

closed, inserting each piece of

silverware into one of the individual

slots.

Unloading the dishwasher

9 CAUTION

Dishes can be very hot

immediately after cycle ends.

Open the door slightly and allow

dishes to cool for a few minutes

before unloading.

Note: Dishes are more likely to chip

when unloading before cooling.

When unloading the dishwasher, to

prevent water from dripping onto dry

dishes, unload the lower

rack 9" first. Next, unload the

silverware basket 1j followed by

the upper rack 12, and then the

third rack (if equipped).
