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

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

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

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

Inside—The 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 Protector—keeps dishwasher

from overfilling and is located in the left front

corner of the tub.

• Clean occasionally with household cleaner

containing vinegar or

To Restore Service:

1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical

power supply.

2. Turn on water and electrical power supply.

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.

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.

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.

• Make sure water supply is turned on.

• Check to see if cycle has been completed.

• Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See

OperatingInstructions.)

• Make sure items do not prevent the

detergent dispenser from opening.

• Is dishwasher set for delay start option?

• Make sure door is closed and latched.

• Check to see if the knockout plug has been

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.

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.
