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:
- 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.
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.

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
