  • Page 9: Adjustable upper rack feature allows loading of taller items. Upper rack can be adjusted by 2 (5.08 cm). Adjusting the upper rack affects the clearance of the lower rack. For instructions, refer to the Adjustable Upper Rack section.
  • Page 10: Start up guide Properly dispose of/recycle all packing material. Read this entire user manual. You will find 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. Check the filters for debris that may have been introduced from the packaging or during installation. Add rinse aid. To decrease cycle time and possibly improve performance, turn on the hot water faucet nearest to the dishwasher until the water runs hot. Load dishwasher. Add detergent. Select desired cycle and options. Close the door firmly to latch.
  • Page 11: Additional features include the Delay Time feature, which allows programming the dishwasher to start a wash cycle 3, 6, or 9 hours later. To cancel the Delay feature, press and hold the START control for 3 seconds. The Child Lock option prevents children from accidentally changing the dishwasher cycle or starting it. Press and hold Child Lock for 3 seconds to activate or cancel it. Options enhance the wash cycle, and some are available only with certain wash cycles. The sanitize option is designed to meet requirements for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. The sanitize option sanitizes dishes in accordance with NSF International standards. When selected, the water temperature will reach a maximum of 156.2°F (69°C). It is possible that the water will not reach the required temperature if the incoming hot water is below 120°F (49°C). The Heated Dry option activates the heater during the drying process.
  • Page 12: Indicator lights provide important information about the dishwasher's status. The rinse aid indicator light illuminates when the rinse aid level is low. Rinse aid should be added to the rinse aid dispenser. 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. The clean light turns on after a cycle is finished. To start the dishwasher, close the door and press start. To pause or cancel a cycle, open the door slightly and wait for the wash action to stop. To add or remove items, open the door after the wash action stops. To cancel a cycle, press and hold start for 3 seconds.
  • Page 13: Dishwasher loading Prepare dishes Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Remove leftover food and other items from the dishes and discard. It is not necessary to hand-rinse dishes before loading them into the dishwasher with certain exceptions. Foods such as mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, and tomato-based products may discolor stainless steel and plastics. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading the cookware into the dishwasher. Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. Make sure 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 thumping/clattering noises during operation, make sure lightweight items are secured in the racks.
  • Page 14: 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. 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. Re-attach the upper basket to upper or lower rollers. Push in the upper basket.
  • Page 15: Load upper rack 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. 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. Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.
  • Page 16: 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 inches 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 17: Load lower rack 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 18: 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 the basket 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 19: 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, corncob holders, etc. in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). 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. 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 21: Proper use of detergent is essential for effective dishwasher operation. Use automatic dish washing detergent only, as other detergents can cause excessive suds and reduce washing performance. Add detergent just before starting a cycle for optimal results. Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place to maintain its effectiveness. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent leads to better cleaning outcomes. To use the detergent dispenser, push the cover release catch to open the main wash compartment. The flap of the detergent dispenser remains open at the end of a dishwashing cycle. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the detergent compartment for best results.
  • Page 22: 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. Your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. 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. Under normal conditions, you will need to fill the rinse aid dispenser approximately once a month.
  • Page 23: To refill the rinse aid dispenser Lift up the end tab of rinse aid cover to open. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid rinse aid until full. Do not overfill. Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir. Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow during the wash cycle. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly to close.
  • Page 24: Washing special items If you have doubts about washing a particular item, check with the dishware 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. Disposable aluminum: Do not wash disposable aluminum pans in the dishwasher. Bottles and cans: Wash bottles and cans by hand. Labels attached with glue can loosen and clog the spray arms or pump. Cast iron: Seasoning will be removed and iron will rust. China / stoneware: Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing. Crystal: Check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing. Some types of leaded crystal can etch with repeated washing. Gold: Gold-colored flatware will discolor. Plastics: Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before washing. Plastics vary in their capacity to withstand high temperatures and detergents. Stainless steel: Run a rinse cycle if not washing immediately. Prolonged contact with food containing salt, vinegar, milk products, or fruit juice can damage finish.
  • Page 25: 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 mild detergent is all that is necessary to clean the outside of your dishwasher. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or products containing chlorine to clean the stainless steel door. Gently clean the control panel with a clean, soft cloth. The tub is made of stainless steel designed to resist rust and corrosion. 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 create suds. Clean around the door gasket regularly to remove food particles.
  • Page 26: 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 27: Drain air gap is important for proper drainage of the dishwasher. Check the drain air gap if the dishwasher isn’t draining well. Some plumbing codes require a drain air gap between the dishwasher and the home drain system. A drain air gap prevents water from backing up into the dishwasher if a drain is clogged. The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher. The warranty for the dishwasher does not cover service costs for the external drain air gap. Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage. To clean the drain air gap, turn off the dishwasher and remove the metal cover. Protect your dishwasher during summer by turning off the water and power supply. Winterizing your dishwasher is necessary to prevent water damage from freezing lines.
