About Safety Instructions
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in
this manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution
and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining
or operating the dishwasher.
Always contact your manufacturer about problems or
conditions you do not understand.

Important Safety Instructions
Products with a @ label have been listed with
Underwriter's Laboratories, hrc. - those with a CSA tag
have been listed with Canadian Standards Association.
Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using
electricity and moving parts, there is a potential hazard.
,
2.
3.
Read all hrstmctions before using the dishwasher.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
attempting to service.
4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back
must be enclosed and the front panels must be
attached before electrical power is applied to the
dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for
proper grounding procedures.
5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or
play in, with, or around this dishwasher.
7. To reduce the risk of hrjury when loading items to be
washed, sharp or pointed items should be located
with the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they
are not likely to damage the door seal.
8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of
the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It
will be hot.
9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed
for a residential automatic dishwasher. Never use
soap, laundry detergent, or hand washing
detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products
out of reach of children.
10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks
of the dishwasher.
11. 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, 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 process.
12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer's
recommendations.
13. Do not tamper with controls.
14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and
suffocation risks, always remove the door to the
washing compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher.
Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle
has completed.
16. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended
for licensed food establishments.
17. To avoid water, mold or mildew damage to your
home, inlet and drain hose connections should be
checked periodically for leaks.

Loading Tips
• Scrape off bones or large food particles. Remove excessive
quantities of greasy/oily substances.
• Scrape or soak items with burnt on foods as they require
more energy than the rest of the load to clean.
• Scrape off tomato based food soils.
• If connected to a food waste disposer, make certain the
disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher. This
allows proper draining.
• Mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon and other acidic
foods can cause rust or discoloration on stainless steel.
Rinse these pieces as soon as possible.
• Starch from foods like potatoes, pasta, rice and oatmeal
require more energy to clean than the rest of the load.
Place all items in the racks so they are separated and facing
the center of the racks.
• Wedge flat, lightweight items next to the silverware basket
or along the sides and back of the racks.
• Load items so they do not rest over the wash tower located
in the center of the lower rack.
• Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not
allowing items to extend beyond the racks.
• Place glasses in any row of the upper rack for proper
cleaning and rinsing. Do not load glasses over the tines.
Upper Rack (Features vary slightly by model.)
This rack is designed to hold
glasses, cups, small plates,
bowls, cookware, etc. Small
plates or bowls should be
loaded with soiled surfaces
facing the center of the rack. Do
not load glasses over tines.
The Twin Shelf (select models)
on the right side of the upper
rack folds up or down. Fold it 10 Place Settings
down to hold long-handled
knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like cups or juice
glasses. Fold it up for taller items like bowls, plates, etc.
Removing the Upper Rack
The upper rack can be removed when tall or oversized items
need to be loaded into the lower rack.
Lower Rack
(Features vary slightly by model.)
Large items may be placed in any convenient location in this
rack. Keep soiled surfaces facing the center of the rack.
The back of this rack accommodates a row of dinner plates or
two rows of smaller plates. Serving bowls and large pans fit
across the front of the rack or on the left side.
Folding tines (select models) located on the right side,
provide loading flexibility for large-shaped items.
To remove:
• Roll the upper rack 1/3 to 1/2 of the way out.
• Remove the plastic rack stop from the end of each track.
To remove each plastic rack stop, push inward (towards
the rack) on the ridged area of the rack stop. The rack
stop will snap open and can be easily removed by
pulling straight out. Take care to support the track
while removing
rack stops.
• Roll the rack all
the way out of the
track and remove
from the
dishwasher.
• Reverse the above
procedure to replace
the upper rack into
the dishwasher.

Removable Utensil Basket
(Features vary slightly by model.)
For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together
by plach_g some items in the basket with handles up and some
with handles down. Load ka_ives, handles up, through the
slots in the covered section when closed (select models).
Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through
the basket. This could block the lower wash arm.
Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic
measuring spoons should be placed in the covered section
(select models) of the basket for washing.

Operating Steps
Step Hot Water
For best results, the incoming water temperature should be
120°-140 ° F. Check the water temperature by turning on the
hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and letting it run
into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the
glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising. If
it is below 120° F have a qualified person raise the water
heater setting.
If the outside temperature is unusually low, or if your water
travels a long distance from the water heater to the
dishwasher, you may want to turn on the hot water faucet at
the sink and allow it to run until the water is hot. This
assures that the initial fill of water is hot.
Step Detergent
Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic
dishwasher. Other types (laundry, hand soap, etc,) will cause
oversudsing. Be sure to use fresh detergent and store it in a
cool, dry place (not under the sink).
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water
hardness measured in grains per gallon* (gpg) and the
amount of soil on the dishes. Generally detergent amounts
should be increased for harder water and heavier soil. Refer
to the following chart for detergent usage recommendations.
Do not use detergent with Rinse Only. Leave the detergent
lid open when running Rinse Only.
If the water hardness is 13 gpg or harder, it is difficult to
achieve good results with any dishwasher. The solution is a
mechanical water softener to improve water quality,
detergent effectiveness, and to protect the dishwasher parts
from the damage that hard water deposits may cause.
Step Rinse Aid
A liquid rinse aid dispenser (select models) automatically
releases a measured amount of rinse aid into the final rinse
portion of each cycle.
To fill the dispenser, turn the cap counterclockwise to open.
Pour the rinse aid into the reservoir. Replace the cap and be
sure it is securely in place before closing the dishwasher
door. Check the dispenser monthly and refill as needed.
Rinse aid is available in solid form for models without a
liquid dispenser. When using a solid rinse aid, fasten it to the
back right comer of the lower rack. Purchase more rinse aid
when the material dissolves and the container is empty.
Step Starting the
Dishwasher
• After loading the dishwasher and adding detergent, set
the control knob to the desired cycle and press the
appropriate buttons.
° Press the door until it latches. The cycle will begin with a
drain prior to a fill.
Step Adding a
Forgotten Item
For best cleaning, the forgotten item should be added early
in the cycle.
1. Unlatch the door.
2. Wait for the water circulation to stop.
3. Open the door and add the item.
4. Close and latch the door.
5. The cycle resumes automatically.

Options and Indicator Lights:
Temp Boost (select models) checks the main wash and final
rinse water temperatures and will extend the heating and
water circulation until proper water temperature is reached.
Select Temp Boost to ensure proper water temperature for
activating detergent and dissolving greasy food soils.
Extended Wash (select models) provides a water
temperature check early in the main wash and also in the
final rinse of the cycle. If necessary, the heating element
turns on and the cycle extends until the water is heated to the
proper temperature. Select Extended Wash for best results
when washing loads with tough food soils.
Heated Dry turns the heating element on to improve drying
results. Selecting Heated Dry Off (select models) or Energy
Saver (select models) turns the element off to save energy.
Towel drying may be needed with these selections. In
models with plastic interiors, it is normal to notice vapor
escaping from the door vents as the heat dries your dishes.
Vapor will escape even if Heated Dry is not selected.
Delay Hours (select models) can be used to delay the start
of the cycle for up to 6 hours. The Delay Start indicator light
glows when the dishwasher is set for a delay start.
The Water Heating indicator light (select models)
illuminates when the cycle is being extended to heat the
water to the proper temperature.
Care & Cleaning
Interior
The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning.
Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher tub to see if
any large particles have not gone through the strainer
portion of the module.
Wipe the edge of the inner door liner to remove any food soil
splashes which occurred during loading.
The color from some tomato-based food soils has been
known to occasionally adhere to today's dishwasher tubs,
causing temporary discoloration. To help prevent this, when
washing a load of dishes soiled with tomato sauce:
• Scrape excess tomato-based food soils off of dishes, prior
to loading. Do not prewash the dishes, however.
• Run the Heavy Wash cycle.
Exterior
The front of the dishwasher can be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth and liquid spray cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders
or cleaning pads.
Storage/Moving
Fill both detergent cups with a fresh-scented dishwasher
detergent or baking soda and select the Normal Wash cycle.
Allow the dishwasher to complete the cycle. Then turn the
water supply off and drain the dishwasher. To drain, start any
cycle as all cycles begin with a drain. Listen for the drain to
complete, then open the door to interrupt the cycle prior to the
fill. Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the water is
removed. Last, discom_ect the electrical supply and prop open
the door. (See Important Safety Instructions, #14, page 1).
To Change the Door Panel Insert
(select models)
1. Using a Phillips screw driver, remove either the right or
left-hand door trim strips by removing the three screws.
2. Grasp the panel insert(s) and gently flex out slightly. Slide
panel(s) out about two inches. Continue to flex insert
panel(s) enough to remove them. Use care, edges may be
sharp.
3. Select color and reinstall panel(s). Place insert panel(s)
(notched corners at the top) on the inside of the lower
door panel trim. Make sure the upper notched comers of
the insert(s) are under the control panel.
4. Reinstall the side trim.
