Important Safety Instructions - Save This Information  
NOTICE  
Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for possible damages or conse-  
quences.  
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing cleaning products can damage your dishwasher  
and may present health hazards!  
It is highly recommended for the end use consumer to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply  
and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or speak with your installer for more  
information.  
WARNING  
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or  
for any purpose other than those explained on the following pages.  
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts.  
All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.  
Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the  
dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual if you are not certain the electrical  
supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe  
the following:  
this appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wir-  
ing system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be  
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equip-  
ment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. see the  
Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for  
more information on electrical requirements.  
Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is  
the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.  
This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions  
and this Use and Care Manual. read and understand all  
instructions before using the dishwasher.  
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the  
dishwasher.  
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in  
or on the dishwasher.  
When children become old enough to operate the appliance,  
it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to  
ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified  
persons.  
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in  
a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or  
more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher  
that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused  
for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let  
the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release  
any accumulated hydrogen gas. as the gas is explosive, do  
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.  
Remove the door to the washing compartment when remov-  
ing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.  
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow  
wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.  
Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against  
freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage  
caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.  
When you dispose your old appliance make sure you remove  
the door or disable the latch.  
Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in  
a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.  
When loading items to be washed:  
-
locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage  
the door seal.  
-
load knives and other sharp utensilswiththeirHanDles  
up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.  
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher  
safeor the equivalent. for plastic items not so marked, check  
the manufacturers recommendations.  
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels  
are in place.

flip tines fold down to make loading the racks easier in some instances. Grasp the tines,  
release from notch, and fold the tines downward. When the top rack is loaded, push it into  
the dishwasher.  
NOTE: When pushing the top rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back  
of the tub so the top rack spray arm will connect to the water supply in the rear of the tub.  
Do not push the top rack with the door.  
Rack Height Adjustment (select models)  
remove the empty rack by pulling it out of the dishwasher to the point that it can be lifted  
upward, as shown in figure 5. pull the rack outward and up until the rollers are completely  
free of the roller guides. re-insert the rack with the other set of rollers on the roller guides,  
as shown in figure 6.  
Figure 4  
12 place setting bottom rack

Loading the Silverware Basket  
NOTE: the silverware basket tops can be folded up to accommodate large or oddly-shaped items.  
With the silverware basket tops down, load the silverware basket following the patterns suggested in figures 8 (for standard basket) and

sharp points and edges down. Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils.  
The Standard Silverware Basket  
This basket fits in the front-middle of the lower rack.  
The Flexible Silverware Basket  
this basket is designed for maximum versatility. the basket splits along its length, resulting in two halves that may be placed in a variety  
of positions in the lower rack, greatly increasing the lower rack’s loading versatility.  
To split the Flexible Silverware Basket:  
1. Grasp the basket as shown in figure 10a, and slide the two halves in opposite directions, as shown in figure 10a.  
2. pull the two halves apart, as shown in figure 10B.  
some suggestions for placing the two halves in the lower rack are shown in figure 11.

consumption by approximately 30 percent in the power scrub plus,  
regular, and auto Wash cycles. the eCo option may be selected for the  
power scrub plus, auto, regular and Delicate cycles on select models.  
this reduces energy consumption approximately 10% due to lower  
main wash and final rinse temperatures, but extends cycle length 5-10  
minutes to maintain drying performance and the water usage will be  
unmodified in comparison to the normal program cycles.  
Colored Doors  
use only a soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water.  
Stainless Steel Doors  
use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a liquid  
spray) made for cleaning stainless steel. for the best results, apply  
the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe the surface.  
Clean the Door Gasket and Door Seal  
THE NSF SYMBOL  
regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food  
particles and other debris. also clean the door seal, located inside  
the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.  
a dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the nsf symbol has been  
certified by the NSF International to meet very strict requirements  
of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and  
kitchenware sanitization. these requirements are explained in the  
document nsf/ansi 184, residential Dishwashers. More information  
nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.  
Wash Cycle Information  
NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” that  
automatically adjusts the cycle based on soil loads and incoming  
water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can  
cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. the  
cycle times listed in the use and Care manual are based on normal  
soil loads and 120°f incoming water and will vary based on your  
actual conditions.  
Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are  
NSF certified are shown in the following chart. When these cycles  
are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control  
panel will illuminate.  
NOTE: if your household water supply is too hot, your dishwashers  
heating time may be reduced and the “Sanitized” light or symbol may  
notilluminate. YourDishwasher installationManualhasinformationon  
the recommended temperature for your household hot water supply.  
See the Cycles Chart to determine the cycles available for your specific  
model.
