HOW TO USE THE UNICOUPLE  
(Portable Models Only)  
Before operating your dishwasher the first time...  
If faucet has internal threads:  
Attach the Faucet Adapter. The special faucet  
adapter supplied with your dishwasher must be  
assembled to the sink faucet before you can use  
your dishwasher.  
Insert both washers into the faucet adapter and  
attach it to the faucet spout.  
Tighten with pliers.  
The faucet adapter is designed to fit standard  
spouts having internal or external threads. You will  
find the adapter and two washers in the ÒFaucet  
AdapterÕÕ packet in your dishwasher.  
If the faucet adapter threads  
do not match your faucet  
spout, your local hardware or  
plumbing supply  
To install faucet adapter, first remove the old  
aerator or trim ring on your faucet spout.  
store normally has additional fittings to adapt your  
faucet spout to the special faucet adapter.  
If faucet has external  
threads:  
NOTE: A sink spray attachment hose can burst if it  
is installed on the same sink with your dishwasher.  
We suggest that you disconnect the sink spray  
attachment if your sink has one and plug the hole.  
Insert the thinner of the two  
washers into the faucet  
adapter and attach it to the  
faucet spout.  
Tighten with pliers.  
How to connect the Unicouple  
1. Pull Unicouple and its hoses completely out from  
storage compartment located at rear of dishwasher  
and attach it to the faucet adapter.  
The Unicouple's small hose carries water from the  
faucet to the dishwasher. Its large hose carries drain  
water to the sink. Be sure Unicouple is pointing  
toward the sink bowl drain opening and the sink  
drain is open for water that will drain from your  
dishwasher. If your dishwasher drains into a dis-  
poser, operate the disposer until it is completely  
empty before starting the dishwasher.  
2. Attach the Unicouple  
connector to the faucet  
adapter by depressing  
collar at the top of the  
connector. When  
Unicoupler is all the way  
up onto the adapter,  
3. Turn hot water fully on before starting the dish-  
washer.  
release the collar. It will  
then snap into position to  
lock the Unicouple in  
PULL RING DOWN  
place.  
How to disconnect the Unicouple from faucet adapter  
3. Release Unicouple from faucet by depressing  
the collar at the top of the Unicouple connector.  
1. Turn off the hot water.  
2. Release the water pressure by depressing the  
pressure release button. This relieves water  
pressure and protects you, and the room, from  
severe splashing.  
How to disconnect your dishwasher  
1. Remove the power cord plug from the wall  
receptacle.  
NOTE:  
When motor stops at the end of the final  
rinse, the Unicouple can be disconnected and  
returned to storage.  
2. Disconnect Unicouple from faucet adapter.  
How to drain excess water from Unicouple hoses  
If the sink is 34" or higher from the floor, the excess water in Unicouple hoses cannot  
be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses  
into a bowl or suitable container that is held outside and lower than the sink.

How to Test Water Temperature  
To get dishes clean and dry you need hot water.  
the temperature stops rising. If the water  
temperature is below 49¡C (120¡F), adjust your  
water heater.  
Check your water temperature with a candy or meat  
thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest  
the dishwasher. Put the thermometer in a glass and  
let the water run continuously into the glass until  
To prevent dish damage, inlet water should not  
exceed 65¡C (150¡F).  
How to Use a Rinse Agent  
A rinse aid such as JET DRY makes water flow off  
dishes quicker than usual. This lessens water  
spotting and makes drying faster, too.  
If you accidentally spill: Wipe up the rinse agent  
with a damp cloth. Don't leave the spill in the  
dishwasher. It can keep your detergent from  
working.  
For best dishwashing performance, use of a rinse  
agent is recommended.  
How to fill the rinse agent dispenser.  
Unscrew the cap. Note the FULL line on the tip of  
the cap. On some models, the dispenser can be  
checked by pressing the clear centre of the fill cap  
2 or 3 times. Add the liquid rinse agent until it just  
reaches the top of the full line. Replace the cap.  
The dispenser automatically releases the rinse agent  
into the final rinse water.  
DO NOT FILL PAST “MAX” LINE.

How to Choose and Use the Right Detergent  
First, use only powder or liquid detergent  
specifically made for use in dishwashers. Other  
types will cause over sudsing..  
hard water, you need extra detergent to get dishes  
clean. With soft water, you need less detergent.  
Too much detergent with soft water not only  
wastes money, it can be harmful. It can cause a  
permanent cloudiness of glassware, called  
ÒetchingÓ. An outside layer of glass is etched  
away! Of course, this takes some time. But why  
take a chance when it's easy to find out the  
hardness of your water.  
Second, check phosphate content. Phosphate  
helps prevent hard-water materials from forming  
spots or film on dishes. If your water is hard (7  
grains or more), your detergent has to work  
harder. Detergents with a higher phosphate level  
will probably work better. If phosphate content is  
low (8.7% or less), you'll have to use extra  
detergent with hard water.  
Keep detergent fresh and dry. Under the sink  
isn't a good place to store detergent because there  
is too much moisture. Don't put powder detergent  
into dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes,  
either. (It won't be fresh OR dry.)  
Your water department can tell you how hard  
your water is. So can your county extension  
agent or your area's water softener company. Just  
call and ask them how many ÒgrainsÓ of hardness  
there are in your water.  
Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or  
dyes) that will discolor the tub interior with  
extended use. Check the detergent cup for signs of  
any discoloration. If cup is discolored, change to  
detergent without any colorant.  
How much detergent should you use? That  
depends. Is your water ÒhardÓ or ÒsoftÓ? With  
Loading Detergent  
You'll find two detergent dispensers on the  
inside door of your dishwasher. Two, because  
some cycles use two washes.  
Close the main cup.  
NOTE: To open the detergent cup after it has  
been closed, unlatch the  
door and rotate the Cycle  
(Be sure the CYCLE  
Indicator Dial a full turn to  
the OFF position. When the  
closed cup contains soap it  
is best that the door be in a  
partially open position  
before rotating the Cycle  
Indicator Dial. This will  
help reduce the amount of

HOW TO LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER  
For best dishwashing results follow these loading guidelines. Features and  
appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.  
Upper Rack  
12 place settings  
10 place settings  
The upper rack is for glasses, cups and bowls.  
Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is  
also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics.  
NOTE:  
¥ Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two  
fingers when possible.  
A cup shelf may be placed in the up or down  
position to add flexibility. Load the bottom row  
first, then fold the shelf down and load the top row.  
¥ Make sure when loading that small plastic items  
are secured, so they canÕt fall onto the heating  
element.  
Lower Rack  
12 place settings  
10 place settings  
NOTE: When loading the lower rack, do not load  
large platters or trays in the front right corner.  
They may prevent detergent from circulating in the  
wash cycle.  
Place all items to be washed with the soiled side  
facing the centre of the rack.  
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers, and  
cookware. Large items such as broiler pans and  
racks should go along the sides. Load platters, pots  
and bowls along the sides, in corners, or in the  
back.  
10  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Wash Tower  
Keep the center area clear in the lower rack.  
The wash tower rises through the center of the  
lower rack during the wash and rinse portions of  
the cycle. Don’t block it or load tall things next  
to it.  
Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item  
such as a pot or dish handle extend through the  
bottom rack. This could block the wash arm and  
cause poor washing results.  
Silverware Baskets  
Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and  
knife handles up to protect your hands. Place  
spoons and larger serving forks in the basket with  
handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so  
they donÕt nest together. Distribute evenly.  
NOTE: DonÕt place the silverware basket in the  
front right corner because the detergent could  
pour into it and damage silverware.  
To increase the flexibility of the lower rack, the  
silverware basket may be split. Grasp the basket at  
opposite corners and slide apart. The basket  
sections should be placed in the lower rack by  
hanging them on the top hoop.  
Security cell covers hinged in the silverware  
basket handles can be lowered to either side to  
secure lightweight items from the  
effects of the vigorous wash  
action.  
Small plastic items,  
such as measuring  
spoons and lids from  
small containers,  
should go in the  
covered silverware  
basket.  
DonÕt let any item  
extend through  
bottom.  
Forget a dish? Here's when you can add it.  
Add dishes any time during the RINSE & HOLD  
cycle. With other wash cycles, you can add dishes  
at any time BEFORE the main detergent wash  
portion of the cycle.  
Here's how to add a forgotten dish:  
1. Push the door latch to the left. Washing will  
stop.  
2. Wait a few seconds until the water calms. Then  
open the door. WARNING: Hot vapor may rise  
from opened door.  
3. Add dishes you've forgotten.  
4. Close the door and push the latch to the far  
right. When the door is locked, washing will  
continue.  
However, opening the door during any cycle  
lessens cleaning power. So try to load everything  
at the beginning.

CARE AND CLEANING  
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
Clean the control panel with a lightly  
dampened cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not use  
abrasive or sharp objects on the panel. They can  
damage it.  
Alternatively, to remove stains inside the  
PermaTuf¨ tub or, if you wish to refresh the  
inside of your unit (including the water  
distribution system), you may also use citric acid.  
Fill both detergent cups completely with citric  
acid and run dishwasher through a full cycle  
without any dishes. You may repeat as often as  
you feel necessary.  
Clean the outside with a good appliance polish  
wax. The outside cabinet finish is durable, but it  
can scratch. So use no scouring pads, or harsh or  
gritty cleaners.  
Citric acid is widely available in powder form at  
most drugstores across the country. Do not use  
liquid bleach.  
The inside usually takes care of itself. If it  
should ever need cleaning, use a mild cleansing  
powder. Scouring pads and harsh cleaners can  
mar the finish.  
DO NOT USE LIQUID BLEACH  
Not Using Your Dishwasher in Winter? Protect Against Freezing.  
(On built-in models only)  
If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place

USE THIS PROBLEM SOLVER  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
Spotting can be caused by all these things:  
SPOTS AND FILMING ON  
GLASSES AND FLATWARE  
¥ Extremely hard water. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent  
section.)  
¥ Low inlet water temperature. (See How to Test Water  
Temperature Section.)  
¥ Overloading the dishwasher.  
¥ Improper loading. (See Loading section.)  
¥ Old or damp powder detergent.  
¥ Phosphate level in detergent too low. (See How to Choose and  
Use Detergent section.)  
¥ Rinse agent dispenser empty. (See How to Use a Rinse Agent  
section.)  
¥ Too little detergent. (See How to Choose and Use Detergent  
section.)  
Local water conditions and personal preferences vary. Try  
several brands of detergents to find one that gives the best results  
for you. A liquid dishwasher detergent may help reduce filming.  
To remove stubborn spots and film from glassware:  
1. Remove all metal utensils from the dishwasher.  
2. Do not add detergent.  
3. Select POTSCRUBBER cycle.  
4. Start the dishwasher and allow to run for 18 to 22 minutes.  
The dishwasher will now be in the main wash.  
5. Then open the door and pour 2 cups (500 ml) of white  
vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher.  
6. Close the door and allow to complete the cycle.  
If vinegar rinse doesn't work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4  
cup (60 ml) of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar. (Most  
drugstores carry citric acid crystals. If yours doesn't, call Service  
Parts.)  
Using a vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse more than twice a  
month? Consider a home water softener.  
If vinegar or citric acid crystal rinse doesn't work, the cloudiness  
is Òetching.Ó  
The film cannot be removed.  
CLOUDINESS ON GLASSWARE  
It can be prevented: Use less detergent if you have soft water.  
Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get them clean.  
Water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeds 63¡ C (150¡ F).  
Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure  
glassware and china are secure and can't jar loose. (See Loading  
section.) Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear the top  
of the tub when you push the rack into the dishwasher.  
CHIPPING OF CHINA  
Always use the top rack for delicate items.  
Aluminum utensils often leave marks when they rub against  
dishes. Remove marks with a mild abrasive cleanser.

PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER  
STANDING IN THE BOTTOM OF  
THE TUB  
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is  
normal. It is clean water. It's there to keep the water seal lubricated.  
If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain  
problem. Clean the air gap, if you have one. (See Care and  
Cleaning section.)  
WATER WONÕT PUMP OUT OF  
THE TUB  
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a  
plumber.  
If dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure  
disposer is not clogged.  
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use  
a detergent that's designed for automatic dishwashers.  
DISHWASHER LEAKS  
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can  
lead to overflowing. Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a  
damp cloth.  
Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis.  
MOTOR HUMS  
If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out  
once every week. This will help keep the seal moist, and the food  
disposer clear.  
Sudsing detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY  
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID  
SUDSING.  
SUDS IN THE TUB  
To remove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds  
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch  
the dishwasher. Pump out water by slowly turning the control dial  
until a drain period is reached.
