• Page 10: Specifications include capacity, dimensions, weight, power supply, rated power usage, and water feed pressure. The dishwasher has a capacity of 12 place settings. Dimensions are 23 ⁵⁄₈ x 22 ¹¹⁄₁₆ x 33 ¹¹⁄₁₆. The weight unpacked is 71.4 lb (32.4 kg). Power supply is 120 volts, 60 Hz. Rated power usage includes wash motor at 50 W and heater at 840 W. Water feed pressure ranges from 20-80 psi (138 - 552 kPA). The dishwasher features a multiple filter system for better performance using less water and energy. The Smart Wash system adjusts the wash cycle according to the soil level of the load. The dishwasher can determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes efficiently.
• Page 11: The adjustable upper rack allows you to load taller items in either the upper or lower rack. The upper rack of your dishwasher can be adjusted 2 (5.08 cm). Adjusting the clearance of the upper rack increases or decreases the clearance of the lower rack. For instructions, see the “Adjustable Upper Rack” section.
• Page 12: Start up guide Properly dispose of/recycle all packing material. Read this entire user manual for important safety information and useful operating tips. Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area, and soil particles are separated from the water. Check the filters for debris that may have been introduced from the packaging or during installation. Add rinse aid before using your dishwasher. To decrease cycle time and possibly improve performance, turn on the hot water faucet nearest to the dishwasher until the water runs hot. Load the dishwasher and add detergent. Select the desired cycle and options, noting that only the options available for the selected cycle will illuminate. Close the door firmly to latch and press start.
• Page 13: Controls Power Press this button to turn on or turn off the dishwasher. Cycles Press this button to select corresponding washing program code: Heavy, Normal, ECO, Express. Heavy Heavy cycle is for pots, pans, casseroles, and dinnerware with dried-on or baked-on soil. Normal Normal cycle with only the Heat Dry option selected is recommended to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. ECO For light soiled or pre-rinsed dishes and silverware. Express Express cycle is for lightly soiled or well-rinsed dish loads.
• Page 14: Additional features Child lock prevents children from accidentally changing the dishwasher cycle or starting the dishwasher. Press and hold the child lock for 3 seconds to activate or cancel the option. The delay time feature allows programming the dishwasher to begin the selected wash cycle 1 to 24 hours later. To cancel the delay feature, press and hold the start control for 3 seconds. Options enhance the wash cycle, with some options available only with certain wash cycles. The heated dry option activates the heater during the drying process. Only sanitizing cycles meet the requirements for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. The sanitize option sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI standard 184 for residential dishwashers. When the sanitize option is selected, the water temperature will reach a maximum of 156.2°F (69°C). It is possible that the water will not reach 156°F (69°C) in sanitize mode if the incoming hot water does not meet the minimum requirement of 120°F (49°C).
• Page 15: Use to maintain the water temperature at 140°F (60°C) max during the wash portion of the cycle. The Sanitized indicator light illuminates when the cycle using the Sanitize option is finished. The light turns off when the door is opened and then closed or any button is pressed. Close the door and press Start. The cycle will begin. Open the door slightly, and then wait for the spray arms and wash action to stop before opening the door completely. Open the door to add or remove items. Press Start to resume the wash cycle. The Rinse Aid indicator light illuminates when the rinse aid level is low. Rinse Aid should be added to the Rinse Aid dispenser. Press and hold Control Lock for 3 seconds to unlock the control panel.
• Page 16: Cycle and option charts provide information on available options based on the selected cycle. Cycle times are approximate and vary depending on the wash cycle and selected options. Added options can increase time and water usage. Hot water is necessary to activate the dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food residue. An automatic sensor checks the temperature of the incoming water. If the water is not hot enough, the cycle will be lengthened to heat the water for the main wash. The Smart Wash Sensor detects the soil level of the dish load and may adjust cycle time based on the number of water fills required. Cycle options available include heated dry, sanitize, and various temperature settings. Water usage varies by cycle, with specific gallons per cycle listed for different options. Cycle times range from express cycles to longer heavy and normal cycles.
• Page 17: Prepare dishes by emptying liquids and removing leftover food and hard items. It is not necessary to hand-rinse dishes before loading, except for certain foods that may discolor materials. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading cookware into the dishwasher. Load dishes to ensure the water spray reaches all soiled surfaces. Avoid stacking or overlapping dishes for best drying results. Carefully load heavy pots and pans to prevent denting the stainless steel interior. Ensure pot lids and handles do not interfere with the spray arm rotation. Make sure both the upper and lower spray arms are not blocked and move freely. To avoid noise during operation, secure lightweight items in the racks. For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during operation to prevent noise transfer.
• Page 18: The upper dishwasher rack is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls, and plastic items marked dishwasher safe. The upper rack can be easily adjusted 2 (5 cm) up or down to accommodate taller items in either the top or bottom rack. Important: Remove all items before adjusting the rack. The rack must be empty. To adjust the height of the upper rack, follow these steps: Pull out the upper basket. Remove the upper basket. Push in the upper basket. Re-attach the upper basket to upper or lower rollers.
• Page 19: Note: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown. Make sure the items loaded in the upper rack do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm located beneath the upper rack. Check for interference by turning spray arm by hand. Place items so that the open ends face downward for cleaning and draining. Load glasses and cups in upper rack only. The lower rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur. Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage, water spots, and poor cleaning. Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability. China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur. Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.
• Page 20: The lower rack is designed for plates, soup bowls, cookware, and bakeware. The adjustable upper rack allows you to load items up to 12.6” in height in the lower rack. Items in the lower rack must be placed so that they do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms, block the water inlet, or keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.
• Page 21: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown. Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the lower rack. Load small items in the lower rack only if they are secured in place. Load plates, soup bowls, etc. between tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces. Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub. Place heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack. The fold-down tines in the lower rack make it easier to load extra large or hard-to-fit items such as serving bowls and roasters. The tines may be left in the up position for normal use, or folded down for more flexible loading.
• Page 22: 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 can pit or corrode silverware. Do not wash aluminum cookware in your dishwasher. The silverware basket consists of three separate sections. For optimum loading flexibility, the center section of the basket can be used individually, joined with one or both side sections, or removed. Lift handle to remove the silverware basket and set it on a counter or tabletop. Lift up on each side section to disengage the center section from the keyhole slots in the side sections. Either replace the section(s) in the bottom rack and load the silverware, or load the silverware while the section(s) are on the countertop and then replace the basket in the bottom rack.
• Page 23: For best results: Load items with handles down, using the separators to prevent silverware from nesting. Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc. in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place. Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid water drops from falling on the silverware. When handles 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. Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Be sure that nothing protrudes through the bottom of the basket or rack that may block the wash arm.

• Page 25: Proper use of detergent 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 detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Detergent dispenser Push the dispenser cover release catch to open the main wash detergent compartment. The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the detergent compartment.
• Page 26: Press down on the top of the cover to secure. The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your load, the type of detergent used, and the hardness of your water. If you use too little detergent, dishes won’t be clean. If you have soft water and use too much detergent, glassware will etch. Water hardness varies depending on your water source. For the best results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. Test kits are available from all major appliance parts retail outlets. Rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. A small amount of the rinse aid is released into the final rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.
• Page 27: To refill the rinse aid dispenser: Lift up the end tab of rinse aid. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid rinse aid until full. Do not overfill. Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly to close. Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow during the wash cycle. To adjust the rinse aid setting: Close the door and power on the dishwasher. Within 60 seconds, press the CYCLES button more than 3 seconds to enter the setting mode. Press the CYCLES button to select the proper setting according to your using habits. Complete the setting and exit the setting mode by pressing the Power button or leaving without operation for 5 seconds.
• Page 28: Washing special items If you have doubts about washing a particular item, check with the manufacturer to make sure it is dishwasher safe. Aluminum: High water temperature and detergents can affect the finish of anodized aluminum. Unfinished aluminum will be discolored. Do not wash disposable aluminum pans in the dishwasher. These might shift during washing and transfer black marks to dishes and other items. Wash bottles and cans by hand. Labels attached with glue can loosen and clog the spray arms or pump and reduce washing performance. Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing china or stoneware. Antique, hand-painted, or over-the-glaze patterns may fade. Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing crystal. Some types of leaded crystal can etch with repeated washing. Gold-colored flatware will discolor. Milk glass yellows with repeated dishwasher washing. Handles of some hollow-handle knives are attached to the blade with adhesive that can loosen if washed in the dishwasher. Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing plastics. Load plastics in the top rack only.
• Page 29: Dishwasher care Run a rinse cycle if not washing immediately. Prolonged contact with food containing salt, acid, or sulfide can damage finish. Wash wooden ware by hand. Always check manufacturer’s instructions before washing. Regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to clean outside of your dishwasher. Clean the stainless steel door and handle regularly with a clean, soft cloth to remove debris. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or products containing chlorine to clean the stainless steel door. The tub is made of stainless steel designed to resist rust and corrosion if the dishwasher is scratched or dented. Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleaner other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or create suds. Clean the steel inner door and tub with a clean, soft damp cloth.
• Page 30: Control panel Clean the control panel gently with a lightly dampened cloth. Cleaning the filters Check and clean the filters regularly for best performance. Remove the lower dishwasher rack. Rotate the cylinder filter counterclockwise a quarter turn and lift up to remove. Empty the cylinder filter and rinse it under running water. Remove the fine filter. Remove the micro filter from the bottom of the tub. Inspect both the fine filter and the micro filter for debris, and then clean them by holding the filters under slow running water. A stiff, plastic bristle brush may be needed to remove some debris. Reinstall the filters in reverse order making sure the cylinder filter locks into place.
• Page 31: Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t 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. The drain air gap prevents water from backing up into the dishwasher. The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the 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. Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher. 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. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher before preparing for storage. Disconnect the drain line from the pump and drain water into a pan.
• Page 32: Prepare for use: Reconnect the water, drain and electrical power supply. Turn on water and electrical power supply. Fill detergent cup and run the dishwasher through a heated wash cycle. Check the connections for leaks. Troubleshooting Dishwasher not operating properly Problem Dishwasher does not run or stops Possible cause There is no power to the dishwasher. The door is not closed tightly and latched. Solution Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Close and latch the door. Most cycles pause for 5 minutes near the start of a cycle to let the dishes soak. Certain cycles repeatedly pause for 15 to 65 seconds during the main wash. The Delay feature is selected. Dishwasher does not start a cycle Control Lock feature is activated.
