Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•Do not operate the dishwasher unless

all enclosure panels are properly in

place.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•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.

•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 EXPLO-

SIVE. If the hot water system has not

been used for such a period, before

using the dishwasher 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 flammable, do not smoke

or use an open flame during this time.

•Remove the door to the washing

compartment when removing an old

dishwasher from service or discarding it.

WARNING –When using the

dishwasher, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

•Read all instructions before using the

dishwasher.

•Use the dishwasher only for its

intended function.

•Use only detergents or rinse agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher

and keep them out of the reach of

children.

•When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they

are not likely to damage the door

seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles

up to reduce the risk of cut-type

injuries.

•Do not wash plastic items unless they

are marked “dishwasher safe” or the

equivalent. For plastic items not so

marked, check the manufacturer’s

recommendations.

•Do not touch the heating element

during or immediately after use.

wDANGER

wWARNING

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Starting Your Dishwasher

wWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher.

Connect ground wire to green ground

connector in terminal box.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

wWARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until

completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury

or cuts.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• For a grounded, cord connected

dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In

the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding

will reduce the risk of

electric

shock by providing a path of least

resistance for electric current. The

dishwasher is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conduc-

tor and a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an appropriate outlet that

is installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING –Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or

service representative if you are in

doubt whether the dishwasher is

properly grounded. Do not modify the

plug provided with the dishwasher; if it

will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

• For a permanently connected

dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to

a grounded metal, permanent wiring

system, or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit

conductors and connected to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead

on the dishwasher.

– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –

8051225 v06 EN (c28) 10/6/98 9:46 AM Page 6

1. Load the dishwasher. See the “Loading

Your Dishwasher” section.

2. Spin the spray arms. They should turn

freely.

3. Add detergent. See the “Using the

Dispensers” section.

4. Add rinse agent, if needed.

5. Close door firmly until it latches.

Stopping the dishwasher

You can stop your dishwasher anytime

during a cycle. All you have to do is:

• Open the door slightly. Wait for any filling

or spraying action to stop before opening

the door all the way. Close the door to

continue the cycle.

6. Run hot water at the sink nearest the

dishwasher until water is hot.

Turn off water.

7. Press a Cycle pad. If desired, press one

or more Option pads. The

dishwasher starts filling once

you press a Cycle pad unless

you select the delay wash

cycle. You may press Option

pads as the machine is filling.

The pad indicator glows red

when a cycle or an option is

selected.

Starting a wash cycle

• Press Cancel/Drain. Once pressed, a

2-minute drain starts.

STARTING YOUR DISHWASHER

8051225 v06 EN (c28) 10/6/98 9:46 AM Page 7

Preparing to load the dishwasher

• To save water and energy, do not rinse

dishes before putting them into the

dishwasher.

• Remove large pieces of food, bones, and

other hard items. The POWER CLEANTM

filter module removes food particles from

the water. The module contains a chopping

device which reduces the size of food

items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds,

nuts, and egg shells enter the

POWER CLEAN filter module, you might

hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or

buzzing sounds. Those sounds are normal

when hard items enter the module. Do not

let metallic items (such as pot handle

screws) get into the POWER CLEAN filter

module. Damage can occur.

• Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked

cereals may be hard to remove if left to

dry over a period of time. Run a Rinse

Only cycle to keep dishes moist if you do

not plan to wash them soon.

Loading the cutlery basket

(on some models)

Use the cutlery basket to hold long items.

Always unload or remove the cutlery basket

before unloading the racks to avoid spilling

water on the cutlery.

IMPORTANT: Remove the basket and tip

the contents onto a cutting board to unload.

This helps avoid accidents with sharp points

and edges.

To remove the cutlery basket:

1. Grasp the basket on both sides and slide

it toward the top of the door.

2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the cutlery basket:

1. Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2. Slide the basket toward the bottom of the

door until it locks into place.

• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the

rotating spray arm.

• Load dishes so they are not stacked or

overlapping. It is important for the water

spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best

washing. For best drying, water must be

able to drain from all surfaces.

Loading for quiet operation

• Secure lightweight load items in the racks.

• Pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie

sheets, etc. should not touch interior walls

or interfere with the spray arm’s rotation.

• Load dishes so they do not touch one

another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted

during dishwasher operation to prevent

noise transfer through drains.

Loading Your Dishwasher

8051225 v06 EN (c28) 10/6/98 9:46 AM Page 8

Loading the silverware basket

• Load the silverware basket while it is in

the door or take the basket out for loading

on a counter or table.

• Mix items in each section of the basket

with some pointing up and some down to

avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items. Load spoons with baked on food

pointing up.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items

(knives, skewers, forks, etc.) pointing

down.

• Put small items (baby bottle caps, jar lids,

etc.) in the section with the lid.

• You can also remove the basket for easy

unloading. Always unload or remove the

basket before unloading the racks to avoid

spilling water on the silverware.

NOTE: The basket may be hung on the

door or on the bottom rack. It can also be

placed inside the bottom rack.

To remove the basket:

1. Grab the basket by the handle and slide

it toward the top of the door.

2. Lift the basket off the holding buttons.

To replace the basket:

1. Set the basket on the holding buttons.

2. Slide the basket towards the bottom of

the door until it locks in place.

To open the basket:

• Unhook the latch as shown.

NOTE: Be sure the cover is completely

latched before pulling out the bottom rack

and before closing the dishwasher door.

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

8051225 v06 EN (c28) 10/6/98 9:46 AM Page 9

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER

Loading the bottom rack

Load items with cooked-on or dried-on food

in the bottom rack, with soiled surfaces

facing inward to the spray.

Mixed load

• Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between

prongs and facing inward to the spray.

• Make sure pot handles and other items do

not stop rotation of the spray arm. Spray

arm must move freely.

• Load heavily soiled cookware face down

in rack.

• Do not stack or overlap dishes. Water

spray must reach all soiled surfaces for

best results.

Utensil load

• Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other

large items at sides and back. Loading

such items in front may keep water spray

from reaching detergent dispenser and

silverware basket.

NOTES:

• Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items

in the bottom rack.

• Do not load items between the bottom rack

and the dishwasher tub. This can block

the water inlet opening.

• If you have removed the bottom rack for

unloading or cleaning, replace it with

bumpers in front.

Fold-down dividers

(on some models)

Fold-down dividers at the back of the rack

can be lowered to make room for deep

bowls, roasters, and other large items.

Mixed load

12 place setting load

Utensil load

Bumpers must face
