DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your

safety

and the

safety

of others are very

important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

1_

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others,

"WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• 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 manufacturer's 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 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 to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher.

Connect ground wire to green ground connector in terminal box.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements.

Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve.

Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing

Your Dishwasher" in the "Dishwasher Care" section for winter

storage information.

Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See

Installation Instructions for complete information.

GROUNDING 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 appro-

priate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

a

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.

ULTRA WASH®Soil Removal System

The ULTRA WASH soil removal system gives you sparkling clean dishes, while using less energy and time. The ULTRA WASH soil removal system includes:

• A heavy-duty grinder that acts as a food disposer to grind and dispose of large food particles.

• An ULTRA WASH sensor to monitor soil level and adjust the cycles as needed.

• An Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) that ensures the proper water temperature for the selected wash cycle, and soil level of the load.

How the ULTRA WASH soil removal system works

1.

Load the dishwasher.

Remove bones, large chunks or

burned-on food. No rinsing is necessary. Any remaining food

soil will be ground up and disposed down the drain with the rinse water.

2.

Hot water fills the dishwasher to a level near the bottom of the overfill protection float.

3.

The HEATING indicator glows, and the dishwasher pauses while the water is heated.

4.

When the water reaches the proper temperature,

the

HEATING indicator turns off and the cycle resumes.

5.

Detergent from the detergent dispenser is dispensed at the correct cycle times and hot water is pumped through the

ULTRA WASH pump.

6.

Hot water and detergent sprays against the soiled surfaces of the load and removes food particles.

7.

Food soil is held in an accumulating chamber.

START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove ell packaging materials.

Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety information and useful operating tips.

Using Your New Dishwasher

1.

Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones) from dishes.

2.

Propedy load the dishwasher. (See "Dishwasher

Loading.")

Make sure nothing prevents the spray arm(s) from spinning freely.

\

3.

Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse aid if needed. (See "Dishwasher Use.")

"t i!!S,

4.

Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. (See "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.") Turn off water.

8.

Food soil is disposed down the drain with the wash water.

9.

Fresh, hot water enters the dishwasher and sprays on the dishes. The rinse water is then pumped through the

ULTRA WASH soil removal system and remaining soil is removed.

10. The food soil that is held in the ULTRA WASH soil removal system is disposed down the drain with the rinse water.

lt. The final rinse water is heated. The rinse aid is added to the water for the final rinse to prepare the dishes for drying.

How the ULTRA WASH Sensor and the Automatic

Temperature Control (ATC) work

1. The ULTRAWASH Sensormeasuresthe amountof soil in the dishwasher.

2.

After the soil level is determined, unnecessary portions of the cycle are skipped.

3.

The ATC adjusts the water temperature throughout the cycle depending upon the soil level detected.

Higher water temperatures are used to improve cleaning with heavier soiled loads.

5.

Press the desired cycle and option selections. (See

"Dishwasher

Use.") Press START. Or press START to repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.

DISHWASHER

LOADING

Loading Suggestions

• Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. The wash module removes food particles from the water. The module contains a chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and egg shells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items

(such as pot handle screws) get into the wash modure.

Damage can occur.

• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible.

For best drying, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.

• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them soon. Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, spinach, and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

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

• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed dudng dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

Loading the Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.

(See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

12 place setting

• Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.

• Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses. Damage can occur.

• Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.

• China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation.

Damage may occur.

• Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.

• Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

• Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stabirity.

Utensil basket

Use this extra capacity basket on the top rack to hold spatulas,

wooden spoons, and similar items.

Combo Cup shelves

Fold down the extra shelves on the right side of the top rack. Use

the Combo Cup shelves to hold a variety of items.

•

Hold additional cups and/or stemware in the Stemware

Rests.

8

10 place setting

Hold lightweight plastic lids in place in the Lid Holders. Or you can place long items such as utensils and spatulas on the Combo Cup shelf.

Loading the Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and

utensils. Items with cooked-on or dried-on food should be loaded

with soired surfaces facing inward to the spray. (See

recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

Place knives, sharp-edge down in the Knife Holder.

1.

Flip up the front Knife Holder so the word HANDLE faces you.

2.

Flip up the rear Knife Holder so the word BLADE faces

you.

3.

Place knives in the holder as shown.

NOTE: Always point the knives to the rear of the Knife Holder

with the blades down.

Fold-down tines

Fold the tines in the top rack all the way down to accommodate larger items.

10 place setting

Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are secured in place.

Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines and facing inward to the spray.

Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

m

!"

No-flip clips (on some models)

The no-flip clips hold lightweight plastic items like cups, lids, or bowls in place during washing.

You can move a clip anywhere in the rack.

1.

2.

Pull the clip up and off the tine.

Reposition the clip on another tine.

12 place setting

• Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

• Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

•

Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.

NOTE: If you have removed the bottom rack for unloading or cleaning, replace it with the bumpers in front.

9

Fold-down tines

you can fold down one or both rows of tines at the back of the bottom

rack.

This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the

bottom rack in several locations. Load silverware in all

sections or just one, depending upon your load.

When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting.

Spray cannot reach nested items.

1.

Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.

2.

Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.

3.

Lay the row of tines down in the rack to make room for larger

dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.

Loading the Silverware Basket

Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE; Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid spilling water droplets on the silverware.

• Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section, Close the cover to hold

small items in place.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)

pointing down.

To remove

a small basket

1.

Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding slots.

2.

Pull the baskets apart.

NOTES:

• Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless

steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each

other during washing.

• Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a dnse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

• Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase

washability of your silverware.

4. Pre-wash section

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the "Cycle

Selection Chart.")

• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

• Add detergent just before starting a cycle.

• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1.

If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing

the Cover latch.

2.

Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How Much

Detergent to Use."

3.

Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the "Cycle Selection

Chart" for more details.

How much detergent

to use

• The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent.

If you use too little, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

• Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

Water Hardness

Soft to Medium

Hard Water

0 to 6 grains per gallon

• Fill the Pre-Wash section to the

top of the 2nd step (2 tbs or 30 g) if needed

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent.

Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered

detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.

I"

11

Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Checking the dispenser

Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs

filling.

Dishwasher Efficiency Tips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.

Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least

120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as welt if the water temperature is too low.

To check water temperature

1.

Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute.

2.

Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup.

OR

Or you can remove the Fill indicator cap. If an "E" is visible, the dispenser is empty.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

1.

Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.

2.

Remove the Fill Indicator cap.

3.

Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.

\

4.

Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5.

Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

3.

4.

Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's thermostat setting.

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.

These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normar cycle.

Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these opUons. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.

Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full.

DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning Your Dishwasher

Cleaning the exterior

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a

mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your

dishwasher looking nice and clean.

Cleaning

the interior

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.

To clean interior

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.

OR

See the vinegar rinse procedure in "Spotting and filming on dishes" in "Troubleshooting."

NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the interior.

16

Drain Air Gap

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn_ draining well.

Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a

drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain

system. If a house drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects

your dishwasher

from water backing up into it.

1.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap call

1-800-366-7278 and ask for Part Number 300096.

NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.

To clean the drain air gap

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of

your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the

manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover.

Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.

Storing Your Dishwasher

Stodng

for the summer

Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

Winterizing your dishwasher

Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to

freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal

dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have

your dishwasher winterized by authorized

service personnel.

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid

the cost of a service call...

Dishwasher is not operating properly

• Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle

Is the door closed tightly and latched?

Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the "Cycle Selection

Chart."

Is there power to the dishwasher?

Has a household fuse

blown or circuit breaker tripped?

Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.

Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?

• Dishwasher will not fill

Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down

freely? Press down to release.

• Dishwasher seems to run too long

Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The dishwasher runs longer while heating water. Refer to the

"Dishwasher Efficiency Tips" section.

A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles

until the water reaches the proper temperature.

•

Water remains in the dishwasher

Is the cycle complete?

•

Detergent remains in the cove_l section of the dispenser

Is the cycle complete?

Is the detergent lump-free?

Replace detergent if necessary.

Is the bottom rack installed properly with the bumpers in the front? Refer to the "Parts and Features" section. Reinstall the rack if necessary.

• White residue on the front of the access panel

Was too much detergent used? Refer to the "Detergent

Dispenser"

section.

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different

brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.

•

Odor in the dishwasher

Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle

once or twice a day until you have a full load.

Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar

rinse as described in "Spotting

and filming on dishes" later in this Troubleshooting guide,

•

Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)

Is the dishwasher aligned with the counter top? MoLsture

from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the

counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more

information.

i

Dishes are not completely clean

•

Food soil left on the dishes

Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the "Dishwasher

Loading" section.

Is the water temperature too low? If needed, turn home water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is at least 120°F (49°C). Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency

Tips" section.

Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent?

Use

recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the

"Detergent Dispenser" section.

Never use less than 1 tb

(15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Is detergent caked in dispenser?

Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser.

Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.

17

Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and cans? If you wash bottles and cans in your dishwasher, check for labels clogging the pump or spray arm.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be

20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.

Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Never use soap or laundry detergents.

Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.

Spots and stains on dishes

•

Spotting and filming on dishes

is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled.

Is the water temperature too low? If needed, turn home water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is at least 120°F (49°C). Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency Tips" section.

Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent?

Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the

"Detergent Dispenser" section, Never use less than I tb (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.

NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy saving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items.

2.

Put 2 cups (500 mE.)white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack.

3.

Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

Silica fi!m or etching {silica film is a milky, rainbow-

colored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to prevent the problem, except by hand washing.

To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and underlcad the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed.

Do not use heated drying.

•

White spots on cookware with non-stick finish

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning?

Reseason cookware after washing in the dishwasher.

•

Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior

Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a Normal wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, the installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

•

Black or gray marks on dishes

Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing?

Disposable aluminum items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these items.

Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.

•

Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior

Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher?

Stains gradually fade over time. Regular use of heated drying will slow fading. Stains will not affect dishwasher performance.

Regular use of a rinse cycle and an air-dry or energy-saving dry option will reduce the likelihood of staining.

Dishes do not dry completely

Dishes are not dry

Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water

drainage? Do not overload, Refer to the "Dishwasher

Loading" section, Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying,

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying,

Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the "Rinse Aid

Dispenser"

section,

Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving dry option? Use a

heated drying option for dryer dishes.

Dishes are damaged during a cycle

•

Chipping of dishes

Did you load the dishwasher properLy? Load the dishes and glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and out slowly.

NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic dishwashing.

Wash by hand.

Noises

•

Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds

A hard object has entered the wash module (on some models). The sound should stop when the object is ground up.
