Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions Including the following: l

Read all lnstructlons before using the dishwasher. l

Use ONLY detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher. l l l l l

. Properly connect to electricity and water. l

Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage door seal or cut the user. DISHWASHER MUST BE

ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions for details.

REMEMBER, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do. l

Be sure your dishwasher is installed on . DO NOT reach into the area below the a level floor that will hold the weight, bottom rack until the heating element has and in an area suitable for its size and use.

When discarding an old dishwasher, always remove the door to prevent accidental entrapment or suffocation. cooled for at least 20 minutes.

. DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked “Dishwasher Safe” or the equivalent. If not marked, check manufacturer’s recommendations. l

DO NOT let children play in or on the dishwasher.

DO NOT use your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly:in place.

Store dishwasher detergent in a cool, dry place WHERE CHILDREN CAN’T

REACH IT. l

. DO NOT sit on, stand on or abuse the dishwasher door or dish racks.

DO NOT tamper with controls. l l

.

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 dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and allow water to run for several minutes. Thls will allow gases to escape. Do not smoke or use any open flame near the faucet while it Is open.

Energy Saving Tips

You can help save energy if you:

1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dishwasher uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully loaded machine.

2. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.

3. Load correctly for best washing results.

Incorrect loading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or par-l of the load.

4. Do not pre-rinse normally soiled dishes.

Use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing results without hand rinsing.

5. Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend this to avoid heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

6. Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and efficiently through the use of your dishwasher. Most appliance parts that can fit in the dishwasher can be cleaned by it. Burned-on soil, however, should be cleaned by hand.

Proper Loading

Preparation for loading tt is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Just remove large pieces and quantities of food and bones. The filtering system helps keep food particles out of the wash water. Small particles are flushed away as water is pumped out. Larger particles are trapped on the filter screen system. Refer to

“Dishwasher care and cleaning” on page 6 for filter scI!en cleaning instructions.

Make sure sharp items (knives, forks, skewers, etc.) are put in point down.

Adding Detergent Using Rinse Agent

What type of detergent to use

Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If water is hard and phosphorus content is low (6.0% or less), you may need to use more detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus content

(6.7% or higher).

Do not add detergent until you are ready to wash. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent is necessary for best washing results. Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

The detergent dispenser

Cover Cover latch

Use wtired bec(ion aiiie’ loi cycl&s .tith one wash

Use both sections

‘7bi Cyd& W;ih ‘twij’ washes

The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without. l

Put detergent in both sections for cycles with two washes (see pages 3 and 4). l

Put detergent only in the covered section for cycles with one wash (see page 4).

9 Push the cover down until it is latched.

Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher when the dcor is closed. The covered section opens automatically when the main wash starts.

NOTE: It is normal for cover to open part- ially when dispensing detergent. The cover will open fully when the door is opened.

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. H too little is used, dishes won’t be clean. However, if too much is used in soft water, glassware will begin to etch. l

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company or county extension agent.

HARD-Fill 1 or both sections to top line if water hardness is 8 or more grains per gallon, or 136 or more parts per million. l

. MEDIUM-Fill 1 or both sections to mid- dle line if water hardness is 5 to 7 grains per gallon, or 85 to 119 pans per million.

SCFT+.ill, 1, or both sactions to bottom fine if water hardness’is 0 to.49rains pei gallon, or 0 to 68 parts per million.

Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent greatly

Improves the drying of dlshes by helping water flow off of them durlng the fast rinse. A rinse agent also keeps water from forming droplets and drying as spots. A small amount of rinse agent is automatically released into the rinse water during the final rinse of each cycle.

For best drylng results, check the dispenser perlodically to see If ft needs refilling. The center of the Fill Indicator Cap will be clear when dispenser needs refilling.

An “E” will also be visible inside the dispenser when the cap is removed and the dispenser is empty.

The dispenser will hold 6 ounces of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last about 3 months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. but do not 0vedil.f it.

Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open when filling the dispenser. Do not fill past the smallest opening in the lower part

I of the dispenser. ff you overfill, excess rinse agent can come out. This will not harm the dishwasher, but could cause over-sudsing.

Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth. Replace the Fill Indicator Cap and keep it tightly closed.

NOTE: Because your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse agent, you do not need to use a solid or bar-type rinse agent.

Dishwasher Care

And Cleaning

Exterior

Regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice Imking and clean.

Interior

Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. To clean interior:

1. Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a damp sponge to make a paste. or

2. Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with damp sponge.

Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

Filter screen

The filter system requires periodic cleaning as needed. To clean screen:

Personal Injury Hazard

Walt at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool down. Fallure to do so can result in burn injuries.

1. Unload and slide the bottom rack forward:-(Removebottom rack& necessary to reach filter screen..)

2. Remove collected particles from the screen with your fingers or paper towel.

3. Return the bottom rack to original position.

Page 6

For Best Results

Hot water Is a must

For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least 140°F (60°C). TO have a reliable hot water supply:

Maintain I 40°F (60°C) water supply at central water heater. To check water temperature, turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible, then check with a candy or meat thermometer. If the temperature at the faucet is below 135°F

(57°C) have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.

Quiet operating tlps l l

To avoid thumping and clattering noises during operation:

Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.

Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc. do not touch interior walls or interfere with the spray arm’s rotation or cover the spray lower.

. Load dishes so they don’t touch one another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

Special tips on dishwasher use

Remember, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do. Some items are not dishwasher safe or may require special care. Read these special tips for the following items:

Aluminum: Aluminum loses its bright, shiny appearance and darkens in color due to minerals in the water

and

the alkalinity of the dishwasher detergent. Colored aluminum may fade.

TfPS: If washed in the dishwasher avoid placing directly in front of detergent dispenser where it could be sprinkled with undissolved detergent, causing spotting, pitting, and discoloration. Follow utensil manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.

China: Check with manufacturer for cleaning instructions. Hand-painted, metal- trimmed, and antique china fade due to high water temperatures and alkaline detergent solution in the dishwasher.

NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Load china carefully. Do not allow pieces to touch each other. Test one piece by washing it daily in the dishwasher for several weeks. Then compare it with the rest of the set to see if colors have changed.

Crystal and decorative glasses: Crystal can break from sudden exposure to high water temperature. Metal trim and cobrful decoration on glass will fade in time when washed in the dishwasher.

NOTE: Delicate, antique items should not be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Load crystal carefully in top rack only. Be sure to bad a few larger items in the bottom rack to reduce amount of force of water spray reaching glassware from bwer spray arm. Use the shortest cycle.

Flatware: Salty and acidic foods may tarnish silver and stainless flatware if allowed to remain on the utensib. A film may form on sterling silver and silver plate items washed in a dishwasher. This film is caused by a reaction of silver with chbrine in the detergent. Gold flatware is not dlshwasher safe. The adhesive used in some flatware with holbw handles is not heat resistant, causing the handles to come off in the dishwasher. Wash by hand.

TlPS: Rinse flatware as soon as possible, especially if it is not to be washed right away. Dishwasher detergent may remove antique finishes. Wash by hand. Tarnish and film build-up can be removed with silver polish.

Cast Iron utensils: The seasoned finish will be removed in the dishwasher. Rusting will result.

TIPS: Wash by hand. To re-season, coat with unsalted fat and heat in a slow oven for an hour or two.

Plastics: Many plastics will have

“Dishwasher Safe” written on them. Some plastics are heat sensitive and may meft or warp.

TfPS: If in doubt, try one piece. Place in upper rack only. Drying without heat provides additional protection.

Non-stick finish utensils: Most can be washed in the dishwasher.

TIPS: Follow manufadurets instructions.

Wood: Many wooden items will crack and warp or lose their finish.

TlPS: Do not wash cutting boards, wooden salad bowls or knives with wooden handles in the dishwasher.

Pewter or pewter-like materlals: May streak, discolor, and pit.

TIPS: To keep pewter at its very best, hand wash with mild detergent.

PROBLEM

Bronze tarnish on silverplate

Water left In bottom of dishwasher

CAUSED BY

Silverplate is worn off. Exposed base metal takes on a bronzed hue

Dishwasher cycle not completed

Clogged drain air gap

SOLUTION

Remove tarnish with silver polish. Have silver replated.

Allow dishwasher to complete cycle.

Some remaining water is normal and keeps seals from drying.

Some plumbing codes require use of a drain air gap between an undercounter dishwasher and the drain system of the house. The air gap is usually located above the sink or on the top of the counter near the dishwasher to prevent the possibility of water backing up from the drain into the dishwasher due to a plugged drain. The drain air gap is NOT a part of the dishwasher and is NOT covered by the dishwasher warranty. The drain air gap should be kept clean to ensure proper draining of the dishwasher.
