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.

Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

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.
   Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

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.
This product is intended for residential use only.

Do not leave the dishwasher open when not loading or unloading dishes. Do not tamper with controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.

This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory, or mental capacities are different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such persons are supervised or trained in the operation of the apparatus by a person responsible for your safety.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 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.

WARNING
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.

DISHWASHER MAINTENANCE

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 repeat buildup of white film (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in main compartment and close lid.
The Pre-Wash indicator on the dispenser lid is for customers who use powder or gel detergent and wish to add an amount of detergent to the Pre-Wash cycle. The volume of detergent added here is approximately 8 cubic centimeters, if filled full and level. Any detergent added here would be immediately added to the wash when the cycle starts versus detergent inside the dispenser which is added during the main wash cycle.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types.
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.
Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results.
For more details about powders, liquids, and gels and hard water conditions consult the brand website.
Rinse aid
Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance. This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard water deposits. Rinse aid needs to be added to the product every 1 to 3 months depending on usage.
Refer to the Quick Start Guide or brand website for information about filling the rinse aid dispenser.

Cycle Selection and Energy
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 2 1/2 hours, but can take less or significantly more time depending on your selections and incoming water temperature and amount of food soils on the dishes. For optimum performance the dishwasher should be connected to a 120 F (49° C) hot water supply.
If you first press the Start button, the main sensor cycle with heated drying will be automatically selected. This cycle senses the soil amount, and toughness of soil, to adjust the cycle for improved cleaning.
Sanitize or Sani
Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization efficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a NSF/ANSI 184 certified dishwasher meet the NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization efficacy. The Sani Rinse indicator glows at the end of the cycle if the Sani Rinse option was successfully completed. If the indicator does not activate, it is probably due to the cycle being interrupted.

DISHWASHER LOADING TIPS

NOTE: Features are model specific. Your dishwasher may not have all features described. See Quick Start Guides for possible

dishwasher loading patterns for all dish racks.

Silverware Baskets

Sliding Bowl Tines

Style 1

Style 3

Style 2
Use silverware basket lids to provide optimal spacing and best cleaning performance. NOTE: If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, open the lids (Style 1/3) or lift on the ends of the lids and pull to remove (Style 2). Mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons for best cleaning results.
Removing Upper Racks
In order to make space for tall items, your upper racks are removable. The manner in which to remove will depend on whether the rack is mounted with Style 1 or Style 2. Remove dishes prior to removing any racks.

The sliding bowl tines allow you to easily load bowls of multiple sizes. Grab the moveable tine row in the lower rack and slide into the desired position.
Fold Down Tines

Style 1
To remove the rack, pull the rack forward about halfway out of the tub. On one side, press the tab on the track in and pull up the front end of the rack, out of the track. Then repeat this step on the other side to completely remove the front end of the rack. Then remove the rack by pulling the back end out using a forward and upward motion.
To replace the rack, Push back of rack into rail first and then push front down.

Fold down tines allow you to optimize the spacing in the rack. Fold down tines might be in the lower rack , the second level rack and/or third level rack depending on your model. To fold or unfold the tine, hold the tine nearest the clip at the end of the tine row and gently push it past the stop on the clip and in the direction you want to fold it. Stemware Holder Use the stemware holders to support wine glasses and other stemware. Push them up to rotate them out of the way when not needed.
Stemware Holder

Rack
Track Stop Style 2

Cup Shelf

To remove the rack, pull the rack out until it stops. On the left and right side of the rack, push the plastic track stops on the front of the rail sideways to open them. Pull out the rack. To replace the rack, push the rack back onto the rails. Push the track stops closed.

Use the cup shelf to hold additional cups or small items. Push up to fold out of the way when not needed.

DISHWASHER CARE

Interior Cleaning
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: We recommend the use of high-quality, premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.
Countertop Air Gap
If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn’t draining well.

Extended Time Without Use
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.
Exterior Cleaning Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher. Abrasive cleaning products can damage the finish.
Troubleshooting The brand website listed on the Quick Start Guide has detailed information to troubleshoot most problems customers encounter. This information may save you the cost of a service call.
Foreign Object Cup
If the Foreign Object Cup is full the Quick Start Guide or the brand website listed on the Quick Start Guide has detailed information about how to empty it.

­ For Copper line, begin with Step 12 ­ For Flexible line, begin with Step 14
12. Copper Water Line

Measure the height of cabinet opening from the underside of the countertop to the floor where the dishwasher will be installed. Be sure to measure the lowest point on the underside of the countertop and the highest point on the floor.
Leveling leg adjustment

If using copper tubing, measure overall length of copper tubing required to reach the water supply, cut to length, and attach with compression fittings.
Use wrench to initially loosen leveling legs if needed. Adjust all four leveling legs to the same height by rotating each foot clockwise or counterclockwise as needed. The unit comes with the legs set for a 335/8″ (85.4 cm) height installation. If your opening height is 34½” (87.6 cm), you would therefore need to raise all four legs by 7/8″ (2.22 cm). NOTE: Adjust rear leg height first before moving unit into the cut out. Legs can be removed if necessary for tight installations.

16

13. Slide nut and ferrule onto tubing (copper tubing only) Nut

CUSTOM PANEL INSTALLATION (CUSTOM PANEL MODELS ONLY)
For custom panel installation, refer to the Custom Panel Installation Instruction Sheet included in the literature package. Complete custom panel installation before proceeding to the “Choose Anchor Attachment Method” section.
CHOOSE ANCHOR ATTACHMENT METHOD
IMPORTANT: The dishwasher must be secured to the cabinet as one of the final steps. Prepare the dishwasher for this by attaching the 2 brackets found in the parts bag to the dishwasher.
­ For countertops that are wood, laminate or another similar surface: use Countertop Attachment and go to Step 32.
­ For countertops that are marble, granite, or another hard surface: use Side Attachment and go to Step 33. NOTE: If the gap between the top of the door and the underside of the counter top is tight (less than 1/4″ [6.35 mm]), we suggest using Side Attachment to keep from scratching the User Interface or console with the anchor screws.

21

Countertop Attachment:
32. Insert bracket
Tabs must point to the right.

34. Install bracket for Side Attachment
Bend tabs

Remove the brackets from the package, and insert into the open slots on the left- and right-hand top of the dishwasher collar as shown.
32a. Counter top attachment

Push bracket into slot on the side of dishwasher, and bend tab in toward the side of the dishwasher so that it keeps the bracket in place. Repeat this step for the other side of the dishwasher.
NOTE: Install wood shims to the inside of the cabinets if the gap between the sides of the cabinet and the sides of the dishwasher are greater than 1/2″ (1.3 cm) on each side.
NOTE: Do not attach the dishwasher. This will be done later.
FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK
