DISHWASHER SAFETY
YOUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ARE VERY IMPORTANT
To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the instructions shown here must be followed. Incorrect operation due to ignoring of instructions may cause harm or damage, including death.
The level of risk is shown by the following indications.

  • This symbol indicates the possibility of death or serious injury.
  • This symbol indicates the possibility of injury or damage to property.
  • This symbol indicates the possibility of dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electrical shock is present that could result in death or serious injury.

WARNING/GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug if provided with the appliance. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a grounded, cord-connected appliance:
This appliance 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. If this appliance 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 under all local codes and ordinances.

For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance 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 appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
When using your 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/wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
  • When loading items to be washed:
  • Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
  • 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.
  • Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.
  • Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
  • Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
  • Do not tamper with controls.
  • Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher door, or dish racks.
  • To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a 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 EXPLOSIVE. 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.
  • Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.
  • Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
  • Keep young children and infants away from the dishwasher when it is operating.

DISHWASHER LOADING

PREPARE DISHES

  • Empty liquids from glasses and cups.
  • Remove leftover food and other items from the dishes and discard them.
  • It is not necessary to hand-rinse dishes before loading them into the dishwasher with the following exceptions:
  • Foods such as mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato-based products may discolour stainless steel and plastics if allowed to remain on them for any length of time.
  • Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading the cookware into the dishwasher.

LOAD DISHES

  • The water spray needs to reach all soiled surfaces.
  • Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying results, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
  • Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.
  • Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
  • Make sure both the upper and lower spray arms are not blocked and move freely.

QUIET OPERATING TIPS
To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

  • Make sure lightweight items are secured in the racks.
  • Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.
  • Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

UPPER RACK
The upper dishwasher rack is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls and plastic items marked dishwasher safe.
The upper rack can be easily adjusted 2″ (5 cm) up or down to accommodate taller items in either in the top or bottom rack.
ADJUST UPPER RACK
IMPORTANT

  • Remove all items before adjusting the rack. The rack must be empty.
  • To adjust the height of the upper rack, follow these steps:

LOAD UPPER RACK
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

element-ENB5322HECW-24-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Built-In-Full-Console-
Dishwasher-FIG-11

IMPORTANT: Make sure the items loaded in the upper rack do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm located beneath the upper rack. Check for interference by turning the spray arm by hand.

element-ENB5322HECW-24-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Built-In-Full-Console-
Dishwasher-FIG-12

  • Place items so that the open ends face downward for cleaning and draining.
  • Load glasses and cups in the upper rack only. The lower rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.
  • Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage, water spots, and poor cleaning.
  • Small bowls, pans and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the centre section for best stability.
  • China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
  • Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

LOWER RACK
The lower rack is designed for plates, soup bowls, cookware and bakeware.
The adjustable upper rack allows you to load items up to 12.6” in height in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT: Items in the lower rack must be placed so that they do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms, block the water inlet, or keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

element-ENB5322HECW-24-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Built-In-Full-Console-
Dishwasher-FIG-13

LOAD LOWER RACK
NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

  • Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the lower rack.
  • Load small items in the lower rack only if they are secured in place.
  • Load plates, soup bowls, etc. between tines. Do not nest bowls because the spray will not reach all surfaces.
  • Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub.
  • Place heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

ADJUSTABLE RACK TINES
The fold-down tines in the lower rack make it easier to load extra-large or hard-to-fit items such as serving bowls and roasters. The tines may be left in the up position for normal use, or folded down for more flexible loading.

LOADING SILVERWARE

NOTES

  • Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.
  • Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.), can pit or corrode silverware. DO NOT WASH ALUMINUM COOKWARE IN YOUR DISHWASHER.

THREE-PIECE SILVERWARE BASKET
The silverware basket consists of three separate sections. For optimum loading flexibility, the centre section of the basket can be used individually, joined with one or both side sections or removed.

  • Lift the handle to remove the silverware basket and set the basket on a counter or table top.
  • Lift up on each side section to disengage the centre section from the keyhole slots in the side sections.
  • Either replace the section(s) in the bottom rack and load the silverware, OR load the silverware while the section(s) are on the countertop and then replace the basket in the bottom rack.

element-ENB5322HECW-24-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Built-In-Full-Console-
Dishwasher-FIG-15

  • A: Keyhole Slots
  • B: Prongs

For Best Results

  • Load items with handles down, using the separators to prevent silverware from nesting.
  • Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc. in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place.
  • Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks to avoid water drops from falling on the silverware.
  • When handles are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Be sure that nothing protrudes through the bottom of the basket or rack that may block the wash arm.

DISHWASHER USE

PROPER USE OF DETERGENT
IMPORTANT

  • Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
  • Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
  • Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

  1. Push the dispenser cover release catch to open the main wash detergent compartment.
    NOTE
    The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.

  2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the detergent compartment.

  3. Press down on the top of the cover to secure it.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO USE
The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your load, the type of detergent used and the hardness of your water.

  • If you use too little detergent, dishes won’t be clean.
  • If you have soft water and use too much detergent, glassware will etch.

Water Hardness
Water hardness varies depending on your water source. For the best results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. Test kits are available from all major appliance parts retail outlets. If your water has a hardness over 8 grains per gallon, you may consider installing a water softener or regularly use an additive to enhance the performance of your detergent.
PROPER USE OF RINSE AID
Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. A small amount of the rinse aid is released into the final rinse water, which allows water to drain from the dishes.
Rinse aid greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse.
Your dishwasher is designed to use a LIQUID rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.
RINSE AID DISPENSER
Under normal conditions, you will need to fill the rinse aid dispenser approximately once a month. Rinse aid is released through an opening in the dispenser. You do not need to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

To refill the rinse aid dispenser

  1. Lift the end tab of the rinse aid cover to open.

  2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid rinse aid until full. DO NOT overfill.
    NOTE
    Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir.
    WARNING
    Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow during the wash cycle.

  3. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly to close.

DISHWASHER CARE

CLEANING
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to clean outside of your dishwasher.
Clean the stainless steel door and handle regularly with a clean, soft cloth to remove debris.
IMPORTANT: Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or products containing chlorine to clean the stainless steel door.
Control Panel
Gently clean the control panel with a clean, soft cloth.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
The tub is made of stainless steel designed to resist rust and corrosion if the dishwasher is scratched or dented.
Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or create suds.
DOOR GASKET
Clean the steel inner door and tub with a clean, soft damp cloth.
Using a damp cloth, clean around the door gasket regularly to remove food particles.

CONTROL PANEL
Clean the Control Panel gently with a lightly dampened cloth.
CLEANING THE FILTERS
Check and clean the filters regularly for best performance.

  1. Remove the lower dishwasher rack.

  2. Rotate the Cylinder filter counterclockwise a quarter turn and lift up to remove.element-ENB5322HECW-24-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Built-In-Full-Console-Dishwasher-FIG-25

  3. Empty the Cylinder filter and rinse it under running water.

  4. Remove the Fine filter.element-ENB5322HECW-24-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Built-In-Full-Console-Dishwasher-FIG-26

  5. Remove the Microfilter from the bottom of the tub.element-ENB5322HECW-24-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Built-In-Full-Console-Dishwasher-FIG-27

  6. Inspect both the Fine filter and the Microfilter for debris, and then clean them by holding the filters under slow-running water.
    NOTE: A stiff, plastic bristle brush may be needed to remove some debris.

  7. Reinstall the filters in reverse order making sure the Cylinder filter locks into place.

DRAIN AIR GAP
Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t draining well. Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. If a drain is clogged, a drain air gap prevents water from backing up into the dishwasher.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.
To Clean the Drain Air Gap
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the manufacturer.
With most types

  1. Turn off the dishwasher.
  2. Lift off the metal cover, and then unscrew the plastic cap.
  3. Clean the plastic cap with a toothpick.

STORING
STORING FOR THE SUMMER
Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

SPOTS AND STAINS ON DISHES

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Spotting and filming dishes The rinse Aid dispenser is empty. Add a

liquid rinse aid to the dispenser.
 | Hard water. High mineral content in your water| Use a rinse aid and keep the dispenser filled to help eliminate spotting and filming. Increase setting on
