iNSTRUCTiONS
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this
manualare notmeant to cover all possibleconditionsand situa-
tions that may occur.Commonsense, caution,and care mustbe
exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the dish-
washer.
Always contact your dealer,distributor, service agent, or manu-
facturerabout problems or conditionsyou do notunderstand.
Productswith a (_ label have been listed with Underwriter's
Laboratories,Inc. - 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.
1. Readall instructionsbefore usingthe dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasheronly for its intendedfunction.
3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
attempting to service.
4. Toavoidelectricalshock hazard,the sides and back must
be enclosedand thefront panelsmustbe attachedbefore
electrical poweris applied to the dishwasher.Refer to the
installationinstructionsfor proper grounding procedures.
5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power
supply circuitto avoid electricaloverload.
6. Children shouldnever be permittedto operate, or play in,
with, or around this dishwasher.
10.
11.
7. To reduce the risk d injury when loading items to be
washed,sharpor pointeditemsshouldbe locatedwith the
handlesup.Also, load sharpitems sothey are not likelyto
damagethe door seal.
8. Do not touchthe heatingelement on the bottomof the tub
during or at thecompletionof a cycle. It will be hot.
9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for an
automaticdishwasher.Neveruse soap, laundrydetergent,
or handwashing detergentinyour dishwasher.Keepthese
productsout of reachof children.
Do not sit,stand on or abusethe door or dish racksof the
dishwasher.
12.
Under certain conditions, hydrogengas 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 systemhas notbeen usedfor sucha period,turnon
all hot water faucets and let the water flow from eachfor
several minutes.This will releaseany accumulatedhydro-
gen gas.As the gas isflammable,do notsmoke or usean
open flame during this process.
Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher
safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
checkthe manufacturer'srecommendations.
13. Do not tamper with controls.
14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation
risks, always remove the door to the washing compart-
ment when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Disheswill
be hot if unloaded shortlyafter a cycle hascompleted.

Don'tprerinse.Simply scrapeoffany
bonesor largefood particles.
If connectedto a food waste disposer,
make certain the disposer is empty
before starting the dishwasher.
Scrape off tomato-basedfood soils
(see page 8).
Remove certain foods (such as mus-
tard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vine-
gar, salt or dressings)from stainless
steel flatware as soon as possible.
These foods may cause rusting and
pitting if allowed to remain in contact
with the surface for an extended peri-
od oftime.
Place all items in the racks so they
are separated and facing center.
Items can be centered behind a single
tine or loadedat an angle to maximize
space.
Load itemssothey do not restover the
top of the wash tower.
Avoid blocking the upper and lower
spray arms by not allowing items to
extend beyond the racks.

from nesting together by placing some
items in the basket with handles up and
some with handles down. Load knives,
handlesup, throughthe slotsin the hinged
covered section(s)(when closed).
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
section(s) with the hinged
cover(s).
ODDS& ENDSBASKET

For optimal cleaning and drying
results, hot water is necessary. The
incoming water temperature should be
120-140° F (49-60o C) to properly acti-
vatethe detergent and melt greasy food
soils.
Tocheck the incoming water temperature,
turn on the hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasherand let it run intoa glass in the
sink. Place a candy thermometer in the
glass and check the temperature once it
has stopped rising. If the temperature is
below 1200F (490C), havea qualifiedper-
son raise the water heater thermostatset-
ting.
Beforestartingthe dishwasher,turn on the
hot water faucet and let it run until the
water is hot.This assuresthat the initialfill
ofwater is hot.
Use a detergent designed specifically for
use in an automatic dishwasher.Be sure it
isfresh and stored in a cool, dry place(not
under the sink).
RECOMMENDEDAMOUNT
Toolittledetergent resultsin poor cleaning,
hard water filming/spotting and poor dry-
ing. Too much detergent can cause per-
manent etching/cloudiness.
The amount of detergent to use is deter-
mined by the hardness of the water and
soil levelofthe load. Referto thefollowing
chart for detergent usage recommenda-
tions.
Do not use detergent with Rinse Only.
Leavethe detergentlid open whenrunning
Rinse Only.
In extremely hard water conditions (13
grainsper gallon or more*), it isdifficult to
achievegood resultswith any dishwasher.
A mechanicalwater softener may be nec-
essaryto improve water quality,detergent
effectiveness, and protect the dishwasher
partsfrom the damagethat hard water can
cause.
Soft (0-4 gpg) Light Soil 5 teaspoons
Normal Soil 6 teaspoons
Heavy Soil 8 teaspoons
Medium (5-9 gpg) Light Soil 7 teaspoons
Normal Soil 8 teaspoons
Heavy Soil 10 teaspoons
Hard (10-12 gpg) Light Soil 9 teaspoons
Normal Soil 10 teaspoons
Heavy Soil 12 teaspoons
*Your local water utility or state uni-
versity extension service can tell you
the degree of water hardness in your
area.
** Add recommended amount of
detergent to both compartments for
AutoClean, Heavy or Normal wash
cycles, and to the main cup only for
the Light wash cycle.

Regular use of a rinse aid improves
drying, reduces spotting and filming,
and reduces moisture left on the dish-
washer interior,
Your dishwasher features an automatic
rinseaid dispenser located nearthe deter-
gent cups in the door.
The clear window in the center of the dis-
penser cap allows you to see if there is
rinseaid inthe reservoir.Whenthewindow
is colored, there is rinse aid in the dis-
penser. When the window becomesclear,
it is time to refillthe dispenser.Check the
dispenser monthly.
Toadd rinse aid to the dispenser,turn the
cap counterclockwise to open. Remove
the cap and pour liquid rinse aid into the
opening.Replacethe capand turn itclock-
wise.
Use the LESS setting for soft water and
the MORE setting for hard water. Set the
cap anywhere between these amounts as
needed.
