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.

WARNING

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.

KEY USAGE TIPS

Filtration System and Maintenance

The filter system consists of two

parts: an upper filter assembly and a

lower filter.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to

dishwasher, do not operate your

dishwasher without filters properly

installed. Be sure lower filter is

securely in place and upper filter

assembly is locked into place. If

upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

The filters may need to be cleaned when:

■ Visible objects or soils are on upper filter

assembly.

■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

See “Filtration System” in full User Guide for

complete removal and maintenance schedule.

IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring

pad, etc., as they may damage the filters.

Rinse filter under running water until soils are

removed. If you have hard to remove soils or

calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush

may be required.

Easy to remove third level rack

(on some models)

If additional space is needed in the

upper rack, the third level rack can

easily be removed

To remove, fully extend rack until it

stops. Then open the track stops

on each side and lift to remove.

Drying - Rinse Aid is essential.

You must use a drying agent, such

as a rinse aid, for good drying

performance. Rinse aid along with

the Heat Dry option provides the

best drying and avoids excessive

moisture in the dishwasher interior.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is gained by extending cycle time and

reducing the amount of wattage and water used during

your dishwasher’s cycle. All models contain an optical

water sensor to determine water and energy consumption.

Your first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical water

sensor.

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as

driving a car slower saves on gas.

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),

START/RESUME must be pressed each time.

Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing

START/RESUME. If door is not closed within

3 seconds, the start button LED will flash, an audible

tone will be heard, and cycle will not start.
