IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNING!

Operating Instructions

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

Safety Information

Using the dishwasher. Check the Water Temperature

The entering water must be at least 120F. and not more than 150F., for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

Operating Instructions

Using a Rinse Agent

A rinse agent, such as JET-DRY, makes water flow off the dishes quickly thereby reducing water spotting. Fill the rinse agent dispenser until it reaches the bottom of lip inside the opening. Replace cap. To check if rinse agent is needed, remove the cap and look into the dispenser.

Troubleshooting Tips

A full dispenser should last about one month. If rinse agent spills, wipe it up immediately. It can keep your detergent from working.

Customer Service
12

Safety Information

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Dont put powder detergent into the dispenser until youre ready to wash dishes. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent. Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching. Youll find two detergent dispensers on the door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles except RINSE & HOLD require detergent in the main cup. If your dishes have extra heavy soil or you have hard water you may want to add detergent to the open cup also. Be sure the Dial is at OFF position before adding detergent. Otherwise, the detergent cup will not close and latch properly. Add detergent then close the main cup.
Open Cup

Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips

Main Cup

NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been closed, simply turn the detergent cup handle counter-clockwise until it releases. A snapping sound may be heard.

Forget to Add a Dish?

Customer Service
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent cup opens.

1 Push the door latch to the left. 2 Do not open the door until water spray action stops. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher. 3 Add forgotten dishes. 4 Close the door and push the latch to the far right.

Safety Information

Loading the dishwasher racks.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. Upper Rack
The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers. Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics. The upper rack is good for all kinds of oddshaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down.

Operating Instructions

Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two fingers when possible. Make sure small plastic items are secure so they cant fall onto the heating element.

The Wash Tower

Troubleshooting Tips

Keep the center area clear in the lower rack.

The wash tower rises through the center of the lower rack during the wash and rinse portions of the cycle.

Dont block it or load tall things next to it.

Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.

Customer Service
14

Safety Information

Lower Rack
When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front right corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and racks should go along the sides. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners, or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack.

Operating Instructions

Silverware Basket
Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they dont nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top.

Troubleshooting Tips

Dont let any item extend through bottom.

A security cell cover (on some models) can be lowered to either side to secure lightweight items from the effects of the vigorous wash action.

Safety Information

Two types of air gaps

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?

An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.

The air gap is easy to clean.

Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isnt draining well.

1 Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome cover. 2 Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick.

Troubleshooting Tips

Problem
Water standing in the bottom of the tub

Possible Causes
This is normal

What To Do
A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water seal lubricated. If you have an air gap, clean it. Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, you may need a plumber. If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear.

Operating Instructions

Water wont pump out of the tub

Drain is clogged

Suds in the tub

Troubleshooting Tips

Correct detergent wasnt used

Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing. To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water by slowly turning the Dial until a drain period is reached. Repeat if necessary.

If cup is discolored, change to detergent without any colorant. Make sure inlet water temperature is correct. Check the rinse agent dispenser. Raise the water heater temperature to 120F. Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual? If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher. Clean the air gap.

Spots and filming on glasses and flatware

Possible Causes
Extremely hard water Low inlet water temperature Overloading the dishwasher Improper loading Old or damp powder detergent Rinse agent dispenser empty

What To Do
To remove stubborn spots from glassware: 1 Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher. 2 Do not add detergent. 3 Select the longest cycle. 4 Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 18 to 22 minutes. Dishwasher will now be in the main wash. 5 Open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher. 6 Close the door and allow to complete the cycle. If vinegar rinse doesnt work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar. This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from happening, use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get them clean. Lower the water heater temperature.
