• Page 6: Setting up your dishwasher For complete instructions on installing and setting up your dishwasher, see the included Installation Guide. Finding a suitable location The dishwasher must be installed so that the drain hose is no more than 10 feet (3.01 m) in length, for proper drainage. This dishwasher is designed to be enclosed on the top and on both sides by a standard residential kitchen cabinet unit. The installation enclosure must be clean and free of any obstructions. The enclosure must be at least 24 inches (61 cm) wide, 24 inches (61 cm) deep, and 34 inches (86.4 cm) high. For the front door of the dishwasher to be flush with the front edge of the countertop, the countertop must be 25 inches (63.5 cm) deep. If installing into a corner, allow 2 in. (5.08 cm) min. clearance between dishwasher and adjacent cabinet, wall, or other appliances. Before using your dishwasher Remove the interior packing. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. Make sure that the water supply temperature is between 120° F and 149° F (49° C and 65° C). Make sure that your dishwasher is connected to a grounded 120V, 60Hz power supply.
• Page 7: Top Control Dishwasher Using your dishwasher Your dishwasher’s control panel is located on the top edge of the door. The door must be opened to make settings and operate the dishwasher. Cycles Select a cycle based on the type of dishes to be washed and the level of soil on the dishes. Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected. Options Options can add enhancements to the cycle selected. Heating Dry is used to heat-dry your dishes. Sanitize Rinse is used to sanitize your dishes and glassware. Notes Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. The sanitize cycle is NSF certified. Controls and indicators Delay allows you to delay the start of the selected wash cycle until the desired time is shown on the display.
• Page 8: Display shows the remaining hours and minutes of the current cycle, delay hours remaining, and error codes. If the remaining time on the display suddenly increases or decreases, it means that the Smart Sensor has checked the soil level or the water needs to be heated. Press START/Cancel to start the dishwasher after selecting a cycle and function. To cancel a running cycle, open the door, then press and hold START/Cancel for three seconds. You can add more dishes before the main wash cycle has started if the detergent dispenser is still closed. Rinse Aid turns on when you need to add rinse aid. Sanitized indicator turns on when a sanitized cycle is finished. Clean indicator turns on after a cycle is finished. Use the child lock to prevent children from accidentally changing the dishwasher cycle. Scrape away large pieces of food before loading the dishwasher.
• Page 9: Top control dishwasher Loading the upper rack is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls, and plastic items marked dishwasher-safe. For best results, place the items with the soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Make sure that the loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm. The bottom rack is designed to accommodate plates, bowls, saucers, and cookware. Large items should be placed along the edge, with the inside facing down. The silverware basket is divided into three separate sections, which can be placed in either the upper or lower racks. Make sure that nothing protrudes through the bottom of the silverware basket to block the lower spray arm.
• Page 10: Adding a dish To avoid burn injury, open the door slowly and wait until the spray arms and wash action stop. Before adding dishes, refer to Preparing and loading dishes for instructions on loading more dishes. To add or remove items after the wash cycle starts, open the door slightly and wait until the wash action stops before completely opening. Press START/Cancel on the control pad and close the door within four seconds to resume the cycle. Filling the detergent dispenser Push the detergent dispenser cover latch downwards to open the detergent cup. The amount of detergent required depends on the cycle selected and the soil level on the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid, which greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse. Under normal conditions, the rinse aid will last approximately one month. Try to keep the dispenser full, but do not overfill it.
• Page 11: Add rinse aid until the liquid touches the indicated fill level. Do not overfill since this can cause over-sudsing. Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The rinse aid dispenser automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying is a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. Hot water is required for optimum dish washing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120° F (49° C) to achieve satisfactory results. To make sure that the water entering the dishwasher is hot, run hot water from the nearest hot water faucet before starting the cycle. The heat dry function enhances drying performance when used with a rinse aid. For optimum performance, the hot water supply line must provide water pressure of at least 20 psi and not more than 120 psi.
• Page 12: Maintaining your dishwasher To avoid burn injury, allow the heating element to cool before attempting to clean the interior of your dishwasher. Clean the stainless steel door and handle regularly with a soft cloth and standard household cleaner to remove debris. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or products containing chlorine to clean the stainless steel door. Clean the control panel gently with a soft, lightly dampened cloth. The tub is made of stainless steel and will not rust or corrode, even if scratched or dented. Clean the spots on the steel inner door and tub with a damp non-abrasive cloth. The filters are designed to collect debris and need to be cleaned monthly to maximize wash performance. Remove the bottom rack. Rotate the cylinder filter, then lift it out. Lift the fine filter from the bottom of the tub.
• Page 13: Top control dishwasher Take out the fabric filter. Flush the filters by holding them under running water. Replace the fabric filter. Replace the fine filter. Replace the cylinder filter. Replace the bottom rack. Cleaning the door and tub gaskets. Clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles regularly.
• Page 14: The inside of the dishwasher is self-cleaning under normal use. If needed, the tub gasket can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use a brush to clean the opening in the end of the gasket. If there is an air gap installed with your dishwasher, make sure that it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. Before you clean the air gap, turn off the dishwasher, then remove the plastic air gap cover and clean with a toothpick. Your dishwasher should be protected from freezing if you plan to leave it for extended periods in an unheated place. Turn off the electrical power to the dishwasher at the supply source by removing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker. Turn off the water supply. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical power. Check all connections to make sure that they do not leak.
• Page 15: Top Control Dishwasher Troubleshooting Refer to this table to correct minor issues before calling for service. Error codes Make sure that your dishwasher is on and working. Make sure that the water pressure is 20~100 psi. Check the drain hose. Contact Customer Service. The water temperature did not reach the required level after 90 minutes. Turn off water to the dishwasher, then check the filter system for blockage. If this does not resolve the issue, contact customer service. CAUTION: If an overflow occurs, turn off the main water supply before calling for service. Make sure that the door is closed and latched.
