• Read all instructions before

using your dishwasher.

• Use your dishwasher only as

instructed in this Use and

Care Manual.

• DISHWASHER MUST BE

ELECTRICALLY

GROUNDED. Read the

Installation Instructions for

details.

• This dishwasher is designed

to operate on regular house

current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a

circuit equipped with a 15

ampere fuse or circuit

breaker. Use a 20 ampere

fuse if dishwasher is

connected with a food waste

disposer.

• Do not operate dishwasher

unless all enclosure panels

are in their proper place.

This symbol will help alert you to such dangers

as personal injury, burns, fire and electrical

shock.

Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or

injury when using your dishwasher, follow basic

precautions including the following:

•

Dispose of discarded

appliance and shipping or

packing material properly.

• To avoid entrapment and/or

suffocation, remove door or

door latch mechanism from

any dishwasher that is

discarded or not in use.

• Keep young children and

infants away from dishwasher

when it is operating.

• Do not let children abuse, sit,

stand or play on door or racks

of a dishwasher.

• Use only detergents and rinse

aids recommended for use in

a dishwasher.

• Store dishwasher detergent

and rinse aids out of the

reach of children.

• Do not wash plastic items

unless marked ‘‘dishwasher

safe’’ or the equivalent. Check

with manufacturer for

recommendations, if not

marked. Items that are not

dishwasher safe may melt

and create a potential fire

hazard.

• If the dishwasher drains into a

food disposer, make sure

disposer is completely empty

before running dishwasher.

• Disconnect electrical power to

dishwasher before servicing.

• Repairs should be done by a

qualified technician.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not touch the heating

element during or immediately

after use.

• When loading items to be

washed:

- Locate sharp items and

knives so that they are not

likely to damage the door seal

or tub.

- Load sharp items and

knives with the handles up to

reduce the risk of cut-type

injuries.

Important Safety Instructions (continued)

• Under certain conditions,

hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water

system that has not been

used for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If hot water

system has not been used for

such a period, before using

dishwasher, turn on all hot

water faucets and let water

flow from each for several

minutes.This will release any

accumulated hydrogen gas.

HYDROGEN GAS IS

FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke

or use an open flame during

this time.

• Do not store or use

combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other

The continuous filtered wash

system will remove remaining

food particles. Burned-on foods

should be loosened before

loading. Empty liquids from

glasses and cups.

Foods such as mustard,

mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon

juice and tomato based products

may cause discoloration of

stainless steel and plastics if

allowed to sit for a long period of

time.Unless the dishwasher

is to be operated at once, it is

best to rinse off these food soils.

The top rack is designed for

cups, glasses, small plates,

saucers and bowls.

Load glasses in top rack.

Damage may occur if placed in

bottom rack.

Load plastic items in top rack

in bottom rack.

Load items with open ends

facing down for better cleaning

and draining.

dispenser with one covered and

one uncovered cup.Detergent in

the uncovered cup falls into the

dishwasher when the door is

closed.The covered cup opens

automatically to release

detergent. See illustration below.

The uncovered cup on models

with only one cup will be

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

(continued)

The amount of detergent to use

depends on the water hardness.

Water hardness is measured in

grains per gallon.Using too little

detergent can result in poor

cleaning and hard water filming

or spotting. Using too much

detergent in soft water can

cause permanent etching on

glassware.

Your local water company, water

softener company or county

extension agent can tell you the

water hardness in your area.

More detergent may be needed

if the phosphorus content is

8.7% or less.The phosphorus

content is shown on the

detergent label.

How much Detergent to

use

* 12 grains and higher is extremely hard water.

Detergent alone may not be enough. A water

softener is recommended to improve water quality

and dishwashing performance.
