    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following: 
    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
    ■  Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
    ■  Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
    ■  Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in 
    a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
    ■  When loading items to be washed:
    1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage 
    the door seal; and
    2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk 
    of cut-type injuries.
    ■  Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked  
    “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so 
    marked, check the manufacturers recommendations.
    ■  Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after 
    use.
    ■  Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels 
    are properly in place.
    ■  Do not tamper with controls.
    ■  Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks 
    of the dishwasher.
    ■  To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in 
    or on the dishwasher.
    ■  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, before using 
    the dishwasher 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 time.
    ■  Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment 
    when removing an old dishwasher from service or 
    discarding it.
    GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
    ■
      For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
    The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a 
    malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of 
    electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for 
    electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord 
    having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding 
    plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet 
    that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local 
    codes and ordinances.
    WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-
    grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative 
    if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly 
    grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the 
    dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet 
    installed by a qualified electrician.
    ■
      For a permanently connected dishwasher:
    The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, 
    permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding 
    conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and 
    connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on 
    the dishwasher.
    Tip Over Hazard
    Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
    Do not push down on open door.
    Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

    IMPORTANT: Do not block detergent dispenser.
    Tall items placed in the lower 
    rack may block the dispenser 
    door. Cookie sheets and 
    cutting boards loaded on the 
    left-hand side of the 
    dishwasher can easily block 
    the dispenser. If detergent is 
    inside of the dispenser or on 
    the bottom of the tub after the 
    cycle is complete, the 
    dispenser was blocked. 
    Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.
    You must use a drying agent 
    such as a rinse aid for good 
    drying performance (sample 
    included). Rinse aid along 
    with the Heat Dry option will 
    provide best drying and avoid 
    excessive moisture in the 
    dishwasher interior.
         
    1 Hour Wash - When you need fast results.
    Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water 
    and energy, just as driving a car slower saves 
    on gas. When you need fast results, the 
    1 Hour Wash will clean dishes using slightly 
    more water and energy. Select the Heat Dry 
    option to speed drying times (adds 
    approximately 35 minutes to the 1 Hour Wash 
    cycle)

    Heavy Duty cycle for tough soil cleaning
    The Heavy Duty cycle is recommended for 
    tough soil loads. Use for hard-to-clean, 
    heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and 
    tableware. No need to prerinse dishes; just 
    scrape and load.
    ProScrub® Option loading to clean baked-on food 
    (on some models)
    When the ProScrub® 
    option is selected, it 
    provides a 
    concentrated wash 
    on the back of the 
    lower dish rack for 
    hard-to-clean dishes. 
    Place these dishes 
    with the soiled 
    surface of the dish 
    toward the 
    ProScrub
    ® spray jets 
    in the lower rack of 
    the dishwasher.
    Press START/RESUME every time you add a dish.
    IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such 
    as, for adding a dish, even during the Delay 
    Hours option), the Start/Resume button must 
    be pressed each time. 
    If the Start/Resume button is located on top of 
    door, push door firmly closed within 
    3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If the 
    door is not closed within 3 seconds, the Start/
    Resume button LED will flash, an audible tone 
    will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
    Proper Detergent Dosing
    It is possible to use too much detergent in your dishwasher. 
    This can lead to etching of your dishes. See “Add Detergent” in 
    the “Dishwasher Use” section to determine the amount of 
    detergent needed based on your water hardness.

    Quick Steps
    Dishwasher Use
    Prepare and Load the Dishwasher
    IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other 
    hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before 
    washing.  
    ■Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items 
    are blocking the detergent dispenser.
    ■Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and 
    inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and 
    drying results. 
    ■Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food. 
    ■Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack. 
    Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.” 
    ■To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load 
    dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight 
    load items are secured in the racks. 
    ■Improper loading can cause dishes to be chipped or damaged. 
    When loading glasses or mugs, it is best to load these items in 
    between rows of tines instead of loading them over tines.
    Add Detergent
    NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse 
    cycle. Do not use detergent.
    ■Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid 
    or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.
    ■Fresh automatic 
    dishwasher detergent 
    results in better 
    cleaning. Store tightly 
    closed detergent 
    container in a cool, dry 
    place.

    ■Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from 
    spinning freely. It is important for the water 
    spray to reach all soiled surfaces. 
    ■When loading silverware, always place sharp 
    items pointing down. Mix items in each 
    section of the basket with some pointing up 
    and some down to avoid nesting. Spray 
    cannot reach nested items.

    ■The amount of detergent to use depends on: 
    How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads 
    require more detergent.
    The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, 
    dishes wont be clean. If you use too much in soft water, 
    glassware will etch.
    Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) 
    [typical water softener water and some city water] 
    Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)
    [well water and some city water]
    ■Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section 
    of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the 
    level shown, if needed. 
    NOTE: Fill amounts 
    shown are for standard 
    powdered detergent. 
    Follow instructions on the 
    package when using other 
    dishwasher detergent 
    types. Premeasured forms 
    are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place 
    premeasured detergents in the main compartment and close the 
    lid.  
    Add Rinse Aid
    ■Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying 
    performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher 
    interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will 
    not perform as well without rinse aid.
    ■Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that 
    can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve 
    drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes 
    after the final rinse.
    ■Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the 
    dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.
    ■Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when 
    indicator drops to “Add” level.
    ■To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap 
    to “Refill” and lift off. Pour rinse aid into 
    the opening until the indicator level is at 
    “Full.” Replace the dispenser cap and 
    turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap is fully 
    locked. NOTE: For most water conditions, 
    the factory setting of 2 will give good 
    results. If you have hard water or 
    notice rings or spots, try a higher 
    setting. Turn the arrow adjuster 
    inside the dispenser by either using 
    your fingers or inserting a flat-blade 
    screwdriver into the center of the 
    arrow and turning. 
    Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model) 
    See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following 
    section.
    Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as 
    driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is 
    approximately 2¹⁄₂ hours, but can take less or more time to 
    complete depending on selections.
    Select Options (options vary by model) 
    See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following 
    section.
    You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If 
    you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. 
    Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is 
    selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash.
    Start or Resume a Cycle
    ■Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the 
    water is hot. Turn off water.
    ■Press START/RESUME once to show which 
    selections you used. Select the wash cycle and 
    options desired OR press START/RESUME to repeat 
    the same cycle and options as in the previous wash 
    cycle.
    IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish, 
    even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button 
    must be pressed each time. 
    ■If the Start/Resume button is located on top of door, push door 
    firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing START/RESUME. If 
    the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume 
    button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the 
    cycle will not start.

    Cycle and Option Descriptions
    This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described. 
    Wash times depend on water temperature, heavy soil condition, dish load size and options selected. Adding options will add time to the 
    cycle.
       *Adding options will add time to the cycle. See Options information section.
     **This is the approximate cycle time obtained with 120°F (49°C) hot water available at the dishwasher. Increase in time results from low 
    temperature of the incoming water.

    CONTROLS AND CYCLE STATUS
    CONTROL PURPOSE COMMENTS
    The Cycle Status Indicator 
    Lights are used to follow the 
    progress of the dishwasher 
    cycle. Located on the front of 
    the dishwasher for front 
    control models, and located 
    on the top of the door for 
    hidden control models.Clean indicator glows when a cycle is finished. 
    If you select the Sani Rinse option, when the Sani Rinse cycle is finished, 
    the Sanitized indicator glows. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize 
    your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the 
    cycle is interrupted, or the water could not be heated to the required 
    temperature. 
    The Clean and Sanitized lights go off when you open and close the door or 
    press and hold CANCEL. 
    The Front Indicator Light or 
    Single Exterior Light (A) 
    shows progress of your 
    dishwasher cycle by color 
    (for hidden control models 
    only).The light will be blue if the dishwasher is washing or rinsing. The light will 
    be red when the dishwasher is drying. The light will be green to indicate 
    that the cycle is complete. If the Front Indicator Light is blinking, see 
    “Troubleshooting” section.
    The Cycle Status Display is 
    used to follow the progress 
    of the dishwasher cycle, and 
    to show other information. 
    (Available on some models 
    instead of Cycle Status 
    Indicator Lights)The indicators will inform you if you are able to add a dish to the cycle after 
    it has started. It will also inform you if the dishwasher is washing, rinsing, 
    drying, complete, and/or sanitized. They will show whether the control is 
    locked and/or the delay option is selected. A series of bars will count down 
    the duration of the cycle remaining from left to right. Each bar equals 
    approximately 24 minutes of cycle length. The bars will also count down 
    the delay feature from left to right, and the delay indicator will be activated.
