Dishwasher Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements under

warning symbols. Please pay special

attention to these symbols and follow any

instructions given. Here is a brief explana-

tion of the use of the warning symbol.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury

when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions

including the following:

•Read all instructions before using

the dishwasher.

• Use your dishwasher only for the

uses described in this manual.

• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRI-

CALLY GROUNDED. Read the

Installation Instructions for details.

*When discarding an old dishwasher,

always remove the door to prevent

accidental entrapment or suffocation.

• Use ONLY detergents and rinse

agents recommended for use in a

dishwasher.

• Store dishwasher detergent in a cool,

dry place WHERE CHILDREN CAN'T

REACH IT.

• When loading items to be washed:

- Load sharp items and knives with

the handles up to reduce risk of cut-

type injuries.

- Locate sharp items and knives so

that they are not likely to damage

the door or tub.

• DO NOT let children play in or on

the dishwasher.

• DO NOT reach into the area below

the bottom rack until the heating

element has cooled for at least

20 minutes.

• DO NOT wash plastic items unless

marked "Dishwasher Safe" or the equiva-

lent. If not marked, check manufacturer's

recommendations.

• DO NOT use your dishwasher unless all

enclosure panels are properly in place.

• DO NOT sit on, stand on, or abuse the

dishwasher door or dishracks.

• DO NOT tamper with controls.

• If hot water has not been used recently

(usually two weeks or longer), hydrogen

gases may build up in the water heater

and the hot water pipes. HYDROGEN

GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury

or damage, before using your dish-

washer, turn on all hot water faucets and

allow water to run for several minutes.

This will allow gases to escape. Do not

smoke or use any open flame near the

faucet while it is open.

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other

flammable vapors and liquids in the

vicinity of this or any other appliance.

The fumes can create a fire hazard

or explosion.

• Disconnect electrical power to the

dishwasher before attempting to service.

Indicators

Starting Your Dishwasher

This section tells you how to start or stop your dishwasher. Refer to it for quick reference.

Starting a wash cycle

1. Load the dishwasher. See pages 6-9.

2. Spin the spray arms. They should

turn freely.

3. Add detergent. See page 10.

4. Add rinse agent, if needed. See page 11.

5. Close door firmly until it latches.

6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the

dishwasher until water is hot.

Turn water off. (See page 21 .)

7. Press a Cycle pad. If desired, press one

I_ °r m°re Opti°n pads" (See

pages 12-13.) The dishwasher

starts filling once you press a

cycle pad unless you select

the delay wash cycle. You

may press Option pads as the machine

is filling.

The pad indicator glows red when a cycle

or an option is selected.

Stopping the dishwasher

You can stop your dishwasher anytime

during a cycle. All you have to do is:

• Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling

or spraying action to stop before opening

the door all the way. Close door to con-

tinue cycle.

• Press CANCEL/DRAIN. Once pressed, a

2-minute drain starts. (See page 13.)

Loading Your Dishwasher

This section tells how to properly load your dishwasher for best washing and rinsing results.

Preparing to load the dishwasher

•To save water and energy, do not rinse

dishes before putting them into the

dishwasher.

• Remove large pieces of food, bones, and

other hard items. The POWER CLEAN TM

module removes food particles from the

water. The module contains a chopping

device which reduces the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds,

nuts, and egg shells enter the POWER

CLEAN module, you might hear chopping,

grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds.

Those sounds are normal when hard items

enter the module. Do not let metallic items

(such as pot handle screws) get into the

POWER CLEAN module. Damage can

occur.

• Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked

cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry

over a period of time. Run a RINSE/WASH

LATER cycle to keep dishes moist if you

do not plan to wash them soon.

• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the

rotating spray arm.

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or

overlapping. It is important for the water

spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best

washing. For best drying, water must be

able to drain from all surfaces.

Loading for quiet operation

• Secure lightweight load items in the racks.

• Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie

sheets, etc., should not touch interior

walls, interfere with the spray arm's

rotation, or cover the spray tower.

• Load dishes so they do not touch one

another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted

during dishwasher operation to prevent

noise transfer through drains.

Loading the silverware basket

Personal Injury Hazard

Load sharp items (knives, forks,

skewers, etc.) with the point down.

Failure to do so could cause personal

injury.

•Load the silverware basket while it is in the

door or take the basket out for loading on

a counter or table.

• Mix items in each section of the basket

with some pointing up and some down to

avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items. However, always load sharp items

(knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing

down.

•Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,

etc.) in any section.

•You can also remove the basket for easy

unloading. Always unload or remove the

basket before unloading the racks to avoid

spillingwater on the silverware.

To remove the basket:

1. Grab the basket by the handle and slide it

toward the top of the door.

2. Liftthe basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the basket:

1. Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2. Slide the basket towards the bottom of

the door until it locks in place.

To open the basket:

• Unhook the latch as shown.

NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely

latched before pulling out the bottom rack

and before closingthe dishwasher door.

Loading the bottom rack

Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food

in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces

facing inward to the spray.

Mixed load

• Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between

prongs and facing inward to the spray.

•Make sure pot handles and other items do

not stop rotation of the spray arms. Spray

arms must move freely.

• Load items so they do not block or cover

the spray tower.

• Load heavily-soiled cookware face down

in the rack.

• Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water

spray must reach all soiled surfaces for

best results.

Mixed load

Do not cover spray tower

Utensil load

•Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other

large items at sides and back. Loading

such items in front may keep water spray

from reaching detergent dispenser and

silverware basket.

NOTE:

• Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items

in the bottom rack.

• Do not load items between the bottom rack

and the side of the dishwasher tub. This

can block the water inlet opening.

• If you have removed the bottom rack for

unloading or cleaning, replace it with

bumpers in front.

Utensil load

Bumpers must

face dishwasher door

Loading the top rack

Load the top rack with cups, glasses, and

smaller items. Do not cover the third level

wash when loading the top rack.

Cup and

glass load

Cup and glass load

•Load so open ends face down for cleaning

and draining.

• Load glasses in top rack only - bottom

rack is not designed for glasses. Damage

can occur.

8Do not cover third level wash

• Place items in the rows between prongs.

Placing them over the prongs may lead

to breakage.

• Secure lightweight items.

• China, crystal, and other delicate items

must not touch each other during dish-

washer operation. Damage may occur.

Mixed load

• Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can

be placed in the top rack.

• Load plastic items in the top rack only.

Plastic items may melt in the bottom rack.

• Wash only plastic items marked "dish-

washer safe".

• Load plastic items so the force of the spray

does not move them during the cycle.

Mixed load

Do not cover third level wash

Infinite adjustable top rack

(on some models)

Raise or lower the rack to fit tall items in

either the top or bottom rack. The top rack

does not have to be level.

• Turn the knob clockwise to raise a side of

the rack.

• Turn the knob counterclockwise to lower a

side of the rack.

Adjustable 3-position top rack

(on some models)

You can raise or lower the rack to fit tall

items in either the top or bottom rack. The

high and low positions are marked on the

adjuster on the side facing the center of the

dishwasher.

1. Hold top rack with one hand near adjuster.

2. Pull top of adjuster lever out with other

hand.

3. Lift or lower rack to one of the preset

positions.

4. Release adjuster lever.

5. Repeat Steps 1-4 for the three remaining

adjusters as needed. The four adjusters

can be raised or lowered separately or

together, as desired. The top rack does

not have to be level.

Using the Dispensers

For best washing results, review the information below. It is important to use detergents and

rinse agents properly.

Using the detergent dispenser

• Use automatic dishwashing detergent

only. Other detergents are too mild and

much too sudsy.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store tightly-closed detergent in a cool, dry

place. Fresh automatic dishwasher

detergent results in better cleaning.

Filling the detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section

with a cover and one without. Push cover

down firmly until it latches. Detergent in the

open section falls into the dishwasher when

closing the door. The covered section opens

automatically for the main wash.

NOTE: It is normal for the cover to open

partially when dispensing detergent.

How much detergent to use

• The amount of detergent to use depends

on the hardness of your water and the type

of detergent. If you use too little, dishes

won't be clean. If you use too much in soft

water, glassware will etch.

• Different brands of dishwasher detergent

have different amounts of phosphorus for

softening water. If you have hard water

and use low phosphorus content detergent

(6.0% or less), you may need to use more

detergent or use a detergent with a higher

phosphorus content (8.7%).

• Find out your water's hardness by asking

your local water department, water soft-

ener company, or county extension agent.
