WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, electric

shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury,

or loss of life.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in

a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or

more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these

circumstances.

uctions

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent

the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water

faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before

using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water

system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas

to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open

flame or appliance during this process.

Using the dishwasher.

Check the Water Temperature

mation

SaetyInfor

The entering water must be at least 120°F. and not more than

150°F., for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check

the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on

the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer

in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the

temperature stops rising. Adjust your water heater, if needed.

uctions

Using a Rinse Agent

A rinse agent, such as JET-DRY, makes water flow off the dishes

quickly thereby reducing water spotting.

Fill the rinse agent dispenser

until it reaches the bottom of lip

inside the opening. Replace cap.

OpeaigInstr

To check if rinse agent is needed,

remove the cap and look into the

dispenser. On some models, the

dispenser can be checked by

pressing the clear center of the

fill cap 2 or 3 times. If rinse agent

fills the center of the fill cap, you

have enough.

ips

ubleshotingT

A full dispenser should last about 3 months.

If rinse agent spills, wipe it up immediately. It can keep your detergent

from working.

vice

CustomSer

SeatyInfor

mtaion

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep

your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the

dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is

hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft

water, you need less detergent.

OepaigInstr

Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water

department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more

grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended.

Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick

while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water

can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.

utcions

You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the

Open Cup

inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles

require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles

with two washes will also use the open cup.

ulbeshotingT

Be sure the Dial is at OFF position before

adding detergent. Otherwise, the detergent

cup will not close and latch properly. Add

detergent then close the main cup.

NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has

been closed, simply turn the detergent cup

handle counter-clockwise until it releases. A

snapping sound may be heard.

Forget to Add a Dish?

A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash.

3 ^{Add forgotten dishes.}

4 ^{Close the door and push the latch to the far right.}

Loading the dishwasher racks.

mation

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and

appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.

SaetyInfor

Upper Rack

The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers.

Cups and glasses fit best along the sides. This is

also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics. A

cup shelf (on some models) may be placed in the

up or down position to add flexibility. The upper

rack is good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils.

Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should

be placed face down.

uctions

Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over two fingers

when possible.

Make sure small plastic items are secure so they can’t fall

onto the heating element.

OpeaigInstr

The Wash Tower

Keep the center area clear in the lower rack.

ips

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.

ubleshotingT

vice

CustomSer

SeatyInfor

mtaion

Lower Rack

When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or

trays in the front right corner. They may prevent detergent

from circulating during the wash cycle.

OepaigInstr

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. The soiled side of items

should face the center of the rack.

Silverware Basket

Put flatware in the removable basket with fork
