READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. 4 WARNING! 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. 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. WATER HEATER SAFETY

I Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or run an equipment- grounding conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to the equipment- grounding terminal or lead of the appliance. I Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. 6 DO NOT… I Do not tamper with controls. I Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher. I Do not discard a dishwasher without first removing the door of the washing compartment. I Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. I Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appliance or any discarded appliance. WARNING!

I Use only powder, tabs or liquid detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children. I Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal. I Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. I Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations. I Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher.

12 Check the Water Temperature The entering water must be at least 120°F. and not more than 150°F., 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. Use Jet-Dry ® Rinse Agent Jet-Dry® rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. 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. On some models, the dispenser can be checked by pressing the clear center of the fill cap 2 or 3 times. If rinse agent fills the center of the fill cap, you have enough. A full dispenser should last about one month. If rinse agent spills, wipe it up immediately. It can keep your detergent from working.

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re 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. You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles with two washes will also use the open cup. When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, simply place one tab in the main cup and close. 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. 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. Open Cup Main Cup Forget to Add a Dish? A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash. Push the door latch to the left. Do not open the door until the water spray action stops. Steam may rise out of the dishwasher. Add forgotten dishes. Close the door and push the latch to the far right. 4 3 2 1 13

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. A second wash tower is located in the top rack. Water from the wash tower in the lower rack shoots up into this wash tower and out the openings at the top. When loading items around this wash tower do not block the top openings. Don’t 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. 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 odd- shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down. A wine glass holder (on some models) secures wine glasses at an angle for best washability. Because wine glasses come in various sizes, after loading, slowly push in the rack to make sure they will clear the top of the dishwasher. Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two fingers when possible. Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall onto the heating element.

Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. 14

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. 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 don’t 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. Don’t 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.

To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good appliance polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher. Protect Against Freezing If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to: Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve. Drain water from the inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.) Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve. Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in the rubber boot. 5 4 3 2 1 Sump cover screws

dishwasher isn’t draining well. 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. Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick. 2 1 Two types of air gaps 17
