Important Safety Instructions • Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children. • Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard. • If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher. • Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

Dishwasher Features Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents • Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other types will cause oversudsing. Filling the Detergent Dispenser • Add detergent just before starting cycle. • Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly. The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically in the main wash.
PAGE 11
Factors Affecting Performance Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents (continued) Rinse Aid Water Pressure Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water “sheets” off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots. The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.
PAGE 12
Care and Cleaning Care of Drain Air Gap If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover. This is not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by warranty. Burn Hazard Allow heating element to cool before cleaning the interior. Failure to do so can result in burns.

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or material in your dishwasher. Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy • Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.) • Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures.
PAGE 14
Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems (continued) Dishware Stained or Discolored Dishwasher Leaks • Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly. • Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film.
PAGE 15
Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems (continued) Stains on Tub Interior Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly • Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing will reduce the chance of staining. Using HEAT DRY OFF option will lessen staining. • If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
