Dishwasher Features  
Your dishwasher, illustrated below, cleans by spraying a mixture of hot, clean water, and detergent against  
the soiled surfaces of your dishes and tableware. Each cycle starts with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher  
fills with water to a level even with the heating element. This water is constantly pumped through the rotating  
spray arm and center wash tower and sprayed onto the dishes. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced  
with clean water during a cycle. The number of water fills depends upon the cycle being used.

Cool Dry Option  
COOL DRY option saves electricity. The heating  
element stays off during drying portion of cycle.  
Additional drying time may be required, with door  
open, to completely air dry dishes. Some water  
droplets may remain on door and in areas where  
dishes touch dishwasher basket or rack.  
When WATER HEATER option is selected, the  
heating element in bottom of tub will raise the main  
wash water temperature to approximately 140°F.  
Wash action will continue but timer will not advance  
until this water temperature has been reached. The  
hotter water provided by this option helps activate  
dishwasher detergent to clean food grease and soil  
from dishes. WATER HEAT option can be used with  
any cycle except RINSE/HOLD.  
To turn COOL DRY option off and select a heated  
drying cycle, push the RESET OPTIONS button. If  
COOL DRY option is not selected, a heated drying  
cycle is automatically provided. COOL DRY option  
must be selected with the RINSE/HOLD cycle.  
The WATER HEATING light will glow until the water  
temperature reaches 140°F. To turn off option  
press RESET OPTIONS.  
The drying option may be changed at any time  
during the cycle and affects only the drying period.

Operating Instructions continued  
Dish Preparation Loading the Top Rack  
It is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting  
them into the dishwasher. Just remove large  
pieces and quantities of food, bones, pits, etc.  
Empty glasses and cups. It may be necessary to  
presoak or lightly scour firmly cooked-on or  
baked-on foods.  
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.  
Glasses and cups—Place glasses and  
cups against outside pins at an angle. Cups with a  
concave bottom will collect water.  
Small plates and saucers—Place  
dishes between middle two rows of pins.  
Plasticware—Load plasticware in the top rack  
to avoid melting.  
Bowls—Place bowls between the middle 2 rows  
of pins facing down.  
Miscellaneous items—Place long handled  
knives and utensils in top rack.  
• Load dishes facing the center of the rack so that  
the water spray from the rotating spray arm and  
center wash tower can reach soiled surfaces.  
Cup Shelf—The cup shelf can be folded down  
over short items (juice glasses, cups, etc.) for  
more loading space. When using cup shelf,  
alternate items with layer below so that water can  
reach all inside surfaces.  
• Be sure large items do not block the detergent  
dispenser, preventing it from opening during the  
wash cycle.  
• To be sure an item is dishwasher safe, read the  
manufacturer’s care instructions.  
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be  
sure disposer is completely empty before  
dishwasher is started.  
• To save energy, wash full loads.  
• For best washing results, load correctly and  
avoid overloading.

inward. Slightly tilting items will provide better  
drainage.  
Pots and pans—Place upside down and at  
an angle. Do not allow handles to protrude through  
bottom of rack, blocking wash arm rotation. Load  
large items at the sides and not across the front so  
they do not block the detergent dispenser  
preventing it from opening.  
DO NOT block the center area of the lower  
rack when loading. Because the center wash  
tower extends through this area, blockage  
may result in poor cleaning.  
Adding a Dish  
1. Make sure there is a full wash cycle yet to be  
completed so that any added items are  
thoroughly washed and rinsed.  
2. Unlatch door and wait for water action to stop.  
3. Open door and add dish.  
4. Firmly close door to latch and resume cycle.

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents  
Filling the Detergent Dispenser  
Useonlyfreshautomaticdishwashingdetergent.  
Other detergents will cause oversudsing.  
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 to release  
detergent.  
Add detergent just before starting cycle.  
Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or  
caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

Factors Affecting Performance  
Rinse Aid  
Water Pressure  
Water pressure should be between 20 and 120  
pounds per square inch. Low water pressure  
occurs most often during periods of high water  
consumption, such as when laundry or showers  
are being done. To determine if you have enough  
water pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully  
opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. It  
should fill in less than 14 seconds. Be sure all  
other faucets are turned off during test.  
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.  
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 satisfactory  
results.  
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.  
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:  
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.  
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.  
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for  
several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.  
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,  
depending on setting.  
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of  
water to check the temperature.  
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a  
qualified person raise the hot water heater  
thermostat setting.

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. Drain air gaps are  
usually mounted on countertop and can be  
inspected by removing the cover. A drain air gap is  
not part of your dishwasher and is not covered by  
this warranty.  
Burn Hazard  
Allow heating element to cool  
before cleaning the interior.  
Failure to do so can result in  
burns.

overflow.  
nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse and dry.  
Inside—The inside of the dishwasher is self-  
cleaning with normal use.  
If hard water causes lime deposit buildup, clean  
using the following instructions:  
1. After dishwasher begins to fill, open door and  
pour 2 cups of white vinegar into dishwasher.  
Do not add dishes or detergent.  
• Pull up firmly to lift  
float out. Clean  
around areas shown  
in illustration.  
• To replace float,  
push down until  
float locks into  
place.  
• Float should move  
up and down freely  
about one inch  
when replaced on  
tube.  
2. Run through any full wash cycle.  
If it is felt that further interior cleaning is needed,  
general household spray cleansers are  
recommended. Follow manufacturer's directions.  
Important: The dishwasher motor is  
permanently lubricated at the factory and does  
not need to be oiled.

raises temperature of dishes to speed up drying.  
When loading, invert cups and bowls so that water  
can run off. Avoid nesting of articles. If dishes are  
not completely dry at end of cycle (which may  
occur when COOL DRY setting is used), open  
door, roll out racks, and allow dishes to air dry.  
Coffee and tea stains can occur when  
water contains traces of iron. To avoid stains, rinse  
cups out immediately after use. Increase amount of  
detergent and use a rinse aid. Water temperature  
should be approximately 140°F (60°C). If problem  
persists, install a water softener with an iron  
removal unit. To remove stains, hand wash cups in  
solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and a quart  
(1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.  
Spotting—Spots form when hard water  
droplets evaporate leaving a deposit. Low  
phosphate detergents increase the problem in hard  
water. To prevent, use hot water and a detergent  
with a higher level of phosphates (preferably 8.7%  
or higher), or use more of a low phosphate  
detergent. Be sure to use a rinse aid. If water is  
very hard, it may be necessary to install a water  
softener. Load glasses and plates so they have  
minimum contact with racks and pins. Avoid  
overloading. Spotting will occur where dishes and  
glasses touch.  
Gray-black stains on dishes are caused  
by manganese in water supply. To correct, install a  
manganese filtering system into house water  
supply.  
Reddish-brown stains on dishes,  
glasses and interior are caused by iron in  
water. To avoid iron stain, increase detergent, use  
Cloudy films and streaking are usually  
caused by a combination of hard water and an  
water heated to approximately 140°F (60°C) and a  
rinse aid. It may be necessary to install a water  
softener with an iron removal unit. To improve  
appearance, use a commercial rust and lime scale  
remover.  
insufficient amount of detergent. Low phosphate  
detergents are also a factor. To correct, increase  
amount of detergent, check water temperature and  
always use a rinse aid. If water is very hard, it may  
be necessary to install a water softener.

labels before washing. Place washable items in top  
rack away from heating element.  
This film cannot be removed. It is more likely to  
occur on soft leaded glass or expensive crystal.  
An early warning of this condition is a cloudy  
iridescent appearance on glasses. To prevent, be  
sure dishwasher is getting a full fill of water. Water  
should reach base of heating element. If water  
level is low, have water pressure checked by a  
plumber. Use less detergent and make sure water  
temperature is not higher than 150°F (66°C).  
Underload to assure thorough rinsing. Use the  
COOL DRY Option.  
Discoloration of plasticware by some  
foods, such as tomato sauce, can stain  
plasticware. If stained, soak item in solution of 1  
tablespoon dishwasher detergent and a quart of hot  
water or in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach  
and a quart (1 L) of hot water.  
Fading of patterns and metallic trim  
is due to many washings, detergent and hot water.  
Most of today’s china is dishwasher safe. Antique,  
handpainted china, and handpainted pottery should  
be washed by hand.

Common Dishwashing  
Problems and  
Solutions continued  
Troubleshooting  
Before calling for service, review this list. It may  
save you both time and expense. This list  
includes common experiences that are not the  
result of defective workmanship or material.  
Do not place silver next to or touching  
stainless steel utensils in dishwasher silverware  
basket. This can cause pitting of stainless steel  
blades. (Most silver knives have stainless steel  
blades. Do not let blades touch other stainless  
steel utensils during wash cycle.)  
Noise problems?  
It is normal to hear swishing and pulsating sounds.  
Tarnish on silver plate occurs when worn  
These sounds mean that water is circulating  
through the dishwasher.  
down to the base metal and turns a bronze color  
when exposed to hot water and detergent.  
Remove bronzing by soaking item in vinegar for 10  
minutes or use a silver polish. For permanent  
protection, have silver replated.  
It is normal to hear motor sounds before water  
enters tub.  
Loud ticking usually means something is hitting  
wash arm. See Preparing and Loading Dishes.  
Silver tarnish can be caused by prolonged  
Vibrating or rattling sounds can mean dishes are  
touching each other. See Preparing and Loading  
Dishes.  
contact with air or with foods containing sulphur  
like eggs, mayonnaise, or seafood. Contact with  
undissolved detergent can also cause tarnish. To  
prevent this, rinse silver soon after use. Use care  
not to pour detergent directly onto silver. Remove  
tarnish with a silver polish.  
Operating problems?  
Be sure door is firmly closed. It is normal for  
dishwasher to pause between cycles.  
Discoloration of stainless steel—Food  
soil can create a film or discoloration. To avoid,  
Leaking?  
rinse stainless items promptly. Food soil films can  
be removed with a stainless steel cleanser or mild  
cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.  
Check for items sticking out of dishwasher that  
could prevent door from closing and sealing  
properly. Use only fresh dishwashing detergent to  
avoid oversudsing.  
Pitting of stainless steel is caused by  
Water coming through door vents? When a dish is  
added after starting dishwasher, wait a few  
seconds before latching door. This permits  
entering cold air to expand slowly inside  
dishwasher.  
prolonged contact with detergent granules and  
foods like salt, mayonnaise, fruits, butter or milk.  
To prevent, rinse soon after use. Do not allow  
detergent to fall directly onto stainless steel items.  
Discoloration of aluminum—Anodized  
Dishes not dry?  
(colored) aluminum cannot withstand machine  
washing. Resulting loss of color is permanent.  
Other aluminum may darken when machine  
washed. To decrease chance of discoloration, do  
not place aluminum directly beneath detergent  
dispenser. To brighten darkened items, scour with  
soap filled steel wool pads. For severely darkened  
pans, simmer an acidic food or a solution of  
2 teaspoons (10 ml) cream of tartar per quart  
(1 L) of water for 1/2 hour. Scour with soap filled  
steel wool pad, rinse and dry.  
Check to see if rinse aid dispenser needs refilling.  
Hot water temperature may be too low (min. 120°F  
49°C). If COOL DRY option is being used,  
additional drying time may be required with door  
open.  
Water in tub?  
A small amount of water in bottom of tub is normal.
