Your safety and the safety of others are 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 potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”
These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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:

Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and
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.
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, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or in 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 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.
Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

****	WARNING

Tip Over Hazard Do not use the dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on the 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 to 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 about 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

Filtration system and maintenance

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning.
The filter system consists of two parts, an upper filter assembly, and a lower filter.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without filters properly installed. Be sure the lower filter is securely in place and the upper filter assembly is locked into place. If the upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

The filters may need to be cleaned when:

Visible objects or soils are on the upper filter assembly.
Dishes feel gritty to the touch.
See “Filtration System” in the full User Instructions for the complete removal and maintenance schedule.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or a scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters. Rinse the filter under running water until the 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 Heat Dry option will provide the best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the dishwasher interior.

Energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is gained by extending cycle time and reducing the amount of wattage and water used during your dishwasher’s cycle. For exceptional cleaning, cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Your first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optical water sensor.

Press Start every time you add a dish
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door, such as for adding a dish (even during the Delay option), Start must be pressed each time. Push the door firmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start. If the door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.

OPERATING YOUR DISHWASHER

Prepare and load the dishwasher
IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard items from dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
■ Make sure when the dishwasher door is closed, no items are blocking the detergent dispenser.
■ Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and inward to the spray as shown in the graphics above. This will improve cleaning and drying results. Angle the dirtiest dish surface downward, allowing space for water to flow up through the rack and between dishes.
■ Avoid overlapping items, like bowls or plates, that may trap food.
■ Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in the upper rack.
■ Wash only items marked “dishwasher safe.”
■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation, load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in racks.
■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep your silverware separated for an optimum wash.
NOTES:
■ The AnyWare™ silverware basket can sit in the door or on the outside front of the lower rack for completely usable rack space, letting you fit more items in the rack. It can also go in your lower rack to fit your needs.
■ Silverware baskets may vary by model.
■ If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, lift and slide covers off to remove them and mix silverware types to keep them separated.
■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as shown.
Check that all arms spin freely
Items in the rack can block the spray arms.
Add detergent
Premeasured Detergents
High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. They are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize the repeat buildup of the white film (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in the main compartment and close the lid.
NOTE: Follow the instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the complete User Instructions for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store a tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.
Add rinse aid
■ Your dishwasher is designed to use a rinse aid for good drying performance. Without a rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heating and drying options will not perform as well without a rinse aid.
■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off of dishes after the final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware, and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.
■ Add rinse aid by twisting the dispenser cap a 1/4 turn clockwise to open and lift off. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level is at “Full.” Replace the dispenser cap and turn to “Lock.” Make sure the cap is fully locked. NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results.
If you are experiencing poor drying performance, you may want to try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid.
Select a cycle
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 2½ hours but can take less or more time to complete depending on selections.
Select options
You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option. Not all options are available for every cycle. If an invalid option is selected for a given cycle, the lights will flash. Adding options may increase the cycle time.
Follow the progress of your dishwasher
The indicator LED on the front right corner of the door panel will glow while running the cycle and will go out when the cycle is complete. Also, the LED display on the control panel will light up during the cycle for Wash, draining, Drying, Clean, and sanitizing.
Start or resume a cycle
NOTE: If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off the water.
Push the door firmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start. If the door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
IMPORTANT: If the door is opened for any reason after the cycle is started (even during the Delay option), the Start button must be pressed again.

CYCLE GUIDE

This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

CYCLES| ESTIMATED WASH TIME W/O OPTIONS| WATER USAGE GALLONS (LITERS)
---|---|---
This cycle senses the load size, soil amount, and toughness of soil to adjust the cycle for improved cleaning, using only the amount of water and energy needed. The Sensor cycle is automatically selected if you first press the Start button.*| 2:10 to 3:15| 3.38 to 7.4 (12.8 to 28.0)
Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware.| 2:45 to 3:25| 7.4 (28.0)
This cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. This dishwasher’s government energy certifications were based on the Normal cycle with only the Heated Dry option selected.| 2:00 to 3:10| 2.4 to 7.4 (9.09 to 28.0)
For fast results, the 1-Hour Wash will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy.
For improved drying, select the Heat Dry option.
NOTE:** Some detergents are not recommended for short wash cycles, please refer to your detergent packaging for more information.| 0:55 to 1:05| 7.87 (29.8)
This cycle quietly soaks dishes with an extended prewash which eliminates the need to presoak dishes, saving personal time and effort. For optimal cleaning results during the Soak & Clean cycle, add prewash detergent. Use this cycle for loads with heavy amounts of dried-on or hard-to-clean baked-on food.| 6:45 to 7:25| 7.4 (28.0)

*The government energy certifications are not based on this cycle. See the Normal cycle description for the government energy certification cycle. Using the Sensor cycle may increase your energy usage.
**No other washing and drying temperature options were selected, and it was not subject to truncated testing. Rinse aid was not used, and there was no detergent used in the prewash.

Press to cancel the wash cycle.| Press and hold CANCEL-DRAIN for 3 seconds. Close the door firmly. The dishwasher starts a 2-minute drain (if needed). Let the dishwasher drain completely.
| To inform you that the dishes have been sanitized.| If you select the Sani Rinse option, when the cycle is finished, the Sanitized indicator on the control panel glows. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the Sanitized indicator flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or if water could not be heated to the required temperature. The indicator goes off when you open and close the door or press CANCEL.

DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning the Exterior
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner, such as afresh ®†Stainless Steel Cleaner is recommended. 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 afresh ® Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions.
NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of high-quality, premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.
† ® afresh is a registered trademark of Whirlpool, U.S.A.
If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn’t draining well. To Reduce the 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
The dishwasher does not run or stop 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.
Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.
Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?
The Clean indicator is flashing| Check the following:
■ Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.
■ Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. (This is very important following the new installation of your dishwasher.)
■ Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent, for hand washing dishes.
■ Forgetting to replace the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
If you experience| Recommended solutions
---|---
Dishes do not dry completely| NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface that tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of a rinse aid along with the Heat 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 bottom rack first.
■ For improved results, place these items on the more slanted side of the rack.
Noise| NOTE: Common noises:
■ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.
■ Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.
■ A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle or when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
■ Improper installation will affect noise levels. Be sure the filters are properly installed.
A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms. Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.
Spotting/Filming| Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting. Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See the “Dishwasher Care” section. If it does not come clear, it is due to etching.
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C). Try using the Hi-Temp Wash or Sani Rinse options.
To remove spots, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
■ Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load it into the dishwasher. Remove all silverware and metal items.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup on the lower rack. Run a Normal cycle with the Heat Dry option turned off. No detergent is needed. See the “Dishwasher Care” section in the full User Instructions.
The dishwasher does not clean completely| Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance. See the “Operating Your Dishwasher” section.
Check the filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See the “Filtration System” section in the full User Instructions for details.
Select the proper cycle for the type of soil. The Sensor or Heavy wash cycles can be used for tougher loads. Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled loads and hard water conditions.
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not pre-rinse).
If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent, for hand washing dishes.
■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid dispenser.
■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
The dishwasher does not drain| Be sure the cycle has been completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing Start.
If the dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed from the disposer inlet.
Check for kinks in the drain hose.
Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer. Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
