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.

Preparing and Loading Dishes  
Loading the Top Rack  
Features and appearance of racks and  
silverware basket may vary from your model.  
Important: Do not cover the funnel when  
loading.  
Dish Preparation  
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits,  
toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash  
system will remove remaining food particles.  
Burned-on foods should be loosened before  
loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.  
The top rack is designed for cups, glasses  
small plates, saucers and bowls.  
Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar,  
lemon juice and tomato based products may  
cause discoloration of stainless steel and  
plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of  
time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated  
at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.  
Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur  
if placed in bottom rack.  
Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting  
may occur if placed in bottom rack.  
• Load racks so that large items do not  
prevent the detergent dispenser from  
opening.  
Load items with open ends facing down for  
better cleaning and draining.  
Damage may occur if delicate items touch  
each other during dishwasher operation.  
• Check manufacturer’s recommendations  
before washing items in question.  
Long-handled knives and utensils can be  
placed in top rack.  
• If the dishwasher drains into a food  
disposer, be sure disposer is completely  
empty before starting dishwasher.  
Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom  
of the rack to block rotation of middle spray  
arm.  
Do not cover funnel

Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)  
Loading the Bottom Rack  
Features and appearance of racks and  
silverware basket may vary from your model.  
Loading the Silverware Basket  
Mix spoons, forks and knives to prevent  
nesting. Mixing items gives better cleaning and  
drying.  
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm  
rotation.  
Place plates and platters so that they do not  
touch.  
Place bowls, casseroles and sauce pans with  
the soiled surface facing down or toward the  
center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.  
For safety, load sharp knives and forks with  
handles up.  
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through  
the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm  
rotation.  
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of  
basket or rack to block the spray arm.  
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid  
damaging the silver finish.  
Adding a Dish  
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:  
• Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until  
wash action stops before opening.  
• Add the item and wait a few seconds to  
allow cold air to slowly expand inside  
dishwasher.  
• Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents  
• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing  
detergent. Other types will cause  
oversudsing.  
Filling the Detergent Dispenser  
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.  
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.  
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist  
or caked detergent will not dissolve  
properly.

How much Detergent to use  
Detergent Chart  
The amount of detergent to use depends on  
the water hardness. Water hardness is  
measured in grains per gallon. Using too little  
detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard  
water filming or spotting. Using too much  
detergent in soft water can cause permanent  
etching on glassware. Your local water  
company, water softener company or county  
extension agent can tell you the water  
hardness in your area.  
Water Hardness  
Soft (0-3 grains)  
Medium (4-8 grains)  
Hard (9+ grains*)  
Amount per Cup  
2 Teaspoons  
5 Teaspoons  
10 Teaspoons  
(fill level with top)  
* 12 grains and higher is extremely hard water.  
Detergent alone may not be enough. A water  
softener is recommended to improve water  
quality and dishwashing performance.  
More detergent may be needed if the  
phosphorus content is 8.7% or less.  
The phosphorus content is shown on the  
detergent label.

Factors Affecting  
Performance  
Dishwasher  
Dispenser &  
Detergents (continued)  
Water Pressure  
Rinse Aid  
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide  
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.  
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.  
Low water pressure may occur when laundry  
or showers are in operation. Wait until water  
use is reduced before starting dishwasher.  
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup,  
automatically releases a measured amount of  
rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and  
poor drying are problems, increase the amount  
of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a  
higher number. The dial is located under the  
dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when  
full and will show clear when it is time to refill.  
Water Temperature  
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and  
drying results. Water entering dishwasher  
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give  
satisfactoryresults.  
To check water temperature entering  
dishwasher:  
Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher  
for several minutes to clear cool water from  
pipes.  
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4  
turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse  
aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level.  
Replace cap.  
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.  
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.  
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in  
stream of water to check the temperature.  
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140  
washes, depending on setting.  
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have  
a qualified person raise the hot water heater  
thermostatsetting.  
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot  
water to clear cool water from pipe.

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.  
Outside—Occasionally wipe with a mild  
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and  
dry.  
Property Damage Hazard  
InsideThe inside of the dishwasher is self-  
cleaning with normal use. If needed, clean  
around the tub gasket area with a damp cloth.  
Freezing temperatures may cause water  
lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to  
and circulating lines within dishwasher are  
protected.  
The filter is self-cleaning. A glass trap located  
in the center of the filter is designed to collect  
pieces of broken glass, straws, bones and pits.  
To remove items in glass trap, grasp handle, lift  
out, empty and replace.  
Failure to do so could result in property  
damage.  
Winterizing  
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should  
be protected from freezing. Have a qualified  
person do the following:  
To Disconnect Service:  
1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher  
at the supply source by removing fuses or  
tripping circuit breaker.  
2. Shut off water supply.  
Note: Hard water may cause lime deposit  
buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For  
cleaning instructions see “Removing Spots  
and Film” section.  
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve.  
Disconnect water line from inlet valve and  
drain into pan.  
4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain  
water into pan.  
Overfill Protectorkeeps dishwasher  
from overfilling and is located in the left front  
corner of the tub.  
• Clean occasionally with household cleaner  
containing vinegar or

bleach to dissolve any  
buildup.  
3. Fill both detergent cups and run  
dishwasher through a NORMAL cycle.  
• Overfill Protector should  
move up and down  
freely about one inch. If  
it does not move, lift and  
clean underneath.  
4. Check connections to make sure they do  
not leak.

• Check water hardness. For extremely hard  
water, it may be necessary to install a water  
softener.(See Detergent Chart.)  
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.  
Food Soils Left on Dishes  
• Choose another cycle for longer washing  
time.  
• Water temperature may be low. Avoid  
extremely low or high temperatures. (See  
Factors Affecting Performance.)  
• Check rack loading section for proper  
loading—avoid nesting items.  
• Avoid overloading and improper loading.  
(See Preparing and Loading Dishes.)  
• Home water pressure may be too low—  
should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch  
(psi).  
• Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is  
ineffective.  
• Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.  
• Check incoming water temperature. It  
should be at least 120°F (49°C). (See  
Factors Affecting Performance.)  
• Check to see that proper amount of  
detergent is being used for cycle selected.  
Also, check phosphate level. (See Detergent  
Dispenser.)  
• Select HI-TEMP WASH option.  
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard  
water, it may be necessary to install a water  
softener.(See Detergent Chart.)  
• Home water pressure may be too low—it  
should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch  
(psi).  
• Use fresh detergent.  
Dishware Chipped  
• Load with care and do not overload. (See  
Preparing and Loading dishes.)  
• Check to make sure funnel in top rack is not  
blocked.  
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray  
arms, preventing them from rotating.  
• Place delicate items in top rack.  
• Place glasses securely against pins and not  
over pins.  
Dishes not Dry  
• Select Heat Dry option.  
• Load items so they are secure and don’t jar  
loose when moving racks in and out. Move  
racks in and out slowly.  
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.

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.  
• Use only fresh detergent designed for  
automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent  
carefully.Try a different brand.  
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to  
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp  
cloth.  
• 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.)  
• Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See  
Installation Instructions.)  
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black  
marks when they rub against other items.  
Load properly.  
Normal Sounds You Will Hear  
• Normal sounds include water fill, water  
circulation and motor sounds.  
• Certain high acid foods can cause  
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics  
if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the  
Rinse/Hold cycle or rinse by hand if not  
operating dishwasher at once.  
• There is a noticeable change in sound when  
the wash action switches between the lower  
and middle spray arm. This is normal since  
each spray arm has its own sound.  
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in  
silverware basket can cause pitting of the  
stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing  
stainless steel and silver.  
• It is normal for dishwasher to pause (no  
sound) when the wash action is switching  
between the lower and middle spray arms.  
Water in Bottom of Tub  
Etching  
• Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is  
complete is not normal. If water remains in  
the bottom of the tub, dishwasher may not be  
draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does  
Not Drain Properly.)  
• Using too much detergent in soft or softened  
water causes this film that cannot be  
removed.  
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the  
water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)  
Vapor at Vent  
• Lower the water temperature.  
• Use the Heat Dry Off option.  
• Water vapor escapes from the vent when the  
dishwasher goes into the drying part of  
cycle. This is normal.  
Detergent Left in Cups  
• Detergent may be old. Discard and use  
freshdetergent.  
Dishwasher Won’t Run  
• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if  
a fuse is blown.  
• Be sure water action can reach the  
dispenser.

time. Pre-rinsing will reduce the chance of  
staining. Using HEAT DRY OFF option will  
lessen staining.

removed from inside the food waste  
disposer inlet.  
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.  
Removing Spots and Film  
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a  
pause.  
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on  
the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and  
glasses may also get spots and film for a  
number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware  
Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup,  
spots and film, clean using the following  
instructions:  
Cycle Takes a Long Time  
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?  
• Has the delay start option been selected?  
• Has the sanitize option been selected?  
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal  
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or  
silverware.  
Dishwasher Won’t Fill  
• Is water supply turned on?  
• Check your home circuit breaker or fuse  
box.  
• Check inlet hose for a kink.  
2. Do not add detergent.  
3. Select the POTS & PANS cycle. Close and  
latchdoor.  
• Does overfill protector move up and down  
freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)  
4. Allow dishwasher to run for 25 minutes to  
reach the main wash portion of cycle.  
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of  
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.  
Dishwasher Has an Odor  
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long  
can create an odor. Rinse dishes if not  
running dishwasher at once.  
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to  
finish.  
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water  
softener should be considered.  
• There will be a “new” smell when first  
installed. This is normal.  
• Check to see if unit is draining properly.  
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)  
To customize your dishwasher to match your cabinets:  
You will need a trim kit.  
• See Step 10 of Installation Instructions that came with your dishwasher for more  
information.
