IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

- Please READ & SAVE this information

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

• This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before installing or using the dishwasher.

• This appliance must be grounded to a 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. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.

• Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.

• Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

• When loading items to be washed: a. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to

damage the door seal.

b. Load knives and other sharp utensils with their

HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type

injuries.

c. Do not wash plastic items unless they are

marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For

plastic items not so marked, check the

manufacturer’s recommendations.

d. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all

enclosure Panels are in place.

e. Do not tamper with or override controls and

interlocks

• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

• When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

• 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.

Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes, open windows to ventilate the house. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.

• To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

• Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft, it may cause etching in glassware.

Adding Detergent

3 TBS MAX

2 TBS (25 ML)

1 TBS (15 ML)

• 1 tablespoon (15ml)

• 1.75 tablespoons (25ml)

3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.

NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 1 Tbsp.(15ml) of detergent. Increase the amount, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.

NSF INFORMATION

A dishwasher or dishwasher cycle that is certified by the NSF international meets very strict requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certification is available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.

Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are shown in the chart above. When these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your

13 dishwasher control panel will illuminate. However, if your household water supply is too hot your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced, and the Sanitized indicator may not illuminate.

The cycle times listed in the Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.

NOTE: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy.

There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a certified machine have passed the sanitization performance test.

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.

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

• Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean.

OR

• Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge

• Clean the Door Gasket

Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Also clean the door seal, located inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.

• Winterizing Your Dishwasher

If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that experiences freezing temperatures

(e.g., in a holiday home or through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by an authorized service center.
