Filtration System and Maintenance
Your dishwasher has a ltration system that
efciently removes food particles from the
wash water.
The lter system consists of three parts:
a ne lter plate, a coarse lter, and a
lower lter.
Coarse lter
Fine lter
Lower lter
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to
dishwasher, do not operate your
dishwasher without lters properly
installed. Be sure lower lter is securely
in place and upper lter assembly is locked
into place. If the coarse lter turns freely,
it is not locked into place.
The lters may need to be cleaned when:
■
Visible objects or soils are on ne lter plate.
■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
See the “Filtration System” section in the full
User Instructions for complete removal and
maintenance schedule.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or a scouring pad, etc.,
as they may damage the lters.
Rinse lter under running water until soils are removed. If you have
hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits because of hard water, a
soft brush may be required.
Drying – Rinse aid is essential
You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for
good drying performance. Rinse aid along with the
Heated Dry option will provide improved drying and
avoid excessive moisture on the dishwasher interior.
Press START every time you add a dish
If anyone opens the door after the dishwasher
has started (such as for adding a dish, even
during the delay time), the Start button must be
pressed again to resume the cycle.
Press START and push the door rmly closed.
Adjust Upper Rack
You can raise or lower the upper rack to t all items in either the
upper or lower rack.
To raise or lower the rack:
Empty the rack. Pull the rack out halfway and take notice of the
position of the carriage wheel assembly and side rail on each side
of the rack. Lift up on the front of the rack while pulling the rack out
all the way. The rack will then be completely free of the side rails.
Reverse this action to re-engage the rack's carriage wheels onto the
rails in the higher or lower position desired.
NOTE: The upper rack must be level.
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.
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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 conductor 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.
KEY USAGE TIPS
Dishwasher Care

DISHWASHER CARE
Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with only a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior
of the dishwasher.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior
Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on
dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this residue
can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance.
Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as affresh
®
Dishwasher
Cleaner can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affresh
®
Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher.
Follow package directions.
NOTE: The manufacturer recommends the use of high-quality
premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for
dishwasher cleaning and daily care.
If you have a drain air gap,
check and clean it if the
dishwasher isn’t draining well.
To Reduce Risk of Property
Damage During Vacation or
Extended Time Without Use:
■
When you will not be using
the dishwasher during the
summer months, turn off the
water and power supply to
the dishwasher.
■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing
conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase
water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home.
Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water
damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized
service personnel.

If you experience Recommended solutions
Dishwasher does
not run or stops
during a cycle
It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during the main wash. Is the door closed
tightly and latched?
Is the right cycle selected?
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse
or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?
Dishes do not
dry completely
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difcult to dry because they have a porous surface which
tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying.
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when you are
unloading the dishwasher.
■ Unload the lower rack rst.
■ For improved results, place these items on the more slanted side of the rack.
