important Safety instructions

Products with a (_ label have been listed with

Underwriter's Laboratories, inc. - those with a CSA tag have been listed with Canadian Standards Association.

Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using electricity and moving parts, there is a potential hazard.

1.Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2.Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3.Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before attempting to service.

4.To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back must be enclosed and the front panels must

be attached before electrical power is applied to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation

instructions for proper grounding procedures.

5.Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

6.Children should never be permitted to operate, play in, with, or around this dishwasher

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

8.To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not likely to damage the drawer seal.

9.Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for a residential automatic dishwasher. Never use

soap, laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products out of reach of children.

10.Do not sit, stand on or abuse the drawer(s) or dish rack(s) of the dishwasher.

11.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, 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 process.

12.Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

13.Do not tamper with controls.

14.To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation risks, always remove the drawers to the washing compartment when removing an old

dishwasher from service or discarding it.

15.Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes may be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.

16.Certified residential dishwashers are NOT intended for licensed food establishments.

17.To avoid water, mold or mildew damage to your home, inlet and drain hose connections should be checked periodically for leaks.

START|

Before You Start

???Do not pre-rinse. Simply scrape off any bones or large food particles.

???If you have a food waste disposer make certain that the disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher.

???Periodically check the coarse filter cup and empty if necessary before starting the dishwasher (see page 17).

???Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 16).

???Remove certain foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings from stainless steel flatware as soon as possible. These foods may

cause rusting and pitting if allowed to remain in contact with the surface of the flatware for an

extended period of time.

Rinse Aid

important: This dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces spotting and filming, and reduces moisture left on the dishwasher interior by creating a "sheeting" action. Water "sheets" off dishes, preventing drops of water from remaining on dishes and creating spots. Drying performance will improve after several washes using rinse aid.

An automatic rinse aid dispenser is located next to the detergent cup.

An illuminated light on the control panel indicates

when the rinse aid reservoir needs to be refilled. Check the dispenser monthly. To fill and adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed into the dishwasher, see page 10.

Hot Water

For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be 120?? F (49?? C[}to properly activate the detergent and melt greasy food soils.

To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and let it run

into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising.

Starting the Dishwasher

1.Check that the coarse filter cup is securely in place (see page 17).

2.Load the dishwasher and add detergent.

3.Select the desired cycle and options by pressing the pads on the control panel. The indicator lights for the

selected cycle and options will illuminate. To cancel a cycle or select another cycle, press the Cancel/Drain pad. To cancel an option, press the option pad again, or press the Cancel/Drain pad.

. To start a cycle, press the StarUResume pad once, then close the drawer. After a brief pause, the cycle will begin. To prevent unplanned cycle or option changes, these selections are "locked in" after the initial fill is complete.

Notes:

???If Start/Resume is not pressed within 30 seconds of choosing a cycle, the dishwasher will turn off.

???Press the Start/Resume pad once, then close the drawer. Drawer must be closed within 3

seconds after pushing Start/Resume or the lights will flash and the audio alarm sound will be

heard. After closing the drawer there will be a brief pause before the cycle begins.

The dishwasher remembers your last cycle so you do not have to reset the cycle each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press the

Start/Resume pad.

5.To cancel a running cycle, press the Cancel/Drain pad once. The dishwasher will drain, then shut off. To turn the dishwasher off without draining, press the

Cancel/Drain pad twice.

Notes:

???If a cycle pad is pressed after the controls have been "locked in", the light above the current cycle will flash three times and an audible beep will be heard.

???If you have a two-drawer dishwasher model, each drawer has its own controls and can run

independently of the other.

Adding a Forgotten item

For best cleaning, the forgotten item should be added early in the cycle.

1.Grasp drawer handle and open drawer. An audible beep will sound to indicate the drawer is open and the cycle has been suspended.

2.With the drawer open, add the item.

3.Press Start/Resume then close the drawer.

Note: Extended interruption of the wash cycle is I not recommended.

General Recommendations

Items can be centered behind a single tine or loaded at an angle to maximize space.

???Avoid blocking or preventing the spray arms from spinning freely. Do not allow items to extend beyond the racks.

Face soiled surfaces toward the center of the dishwasher.

???Do not load anything above the inside top edge of the drawers. This rack can accommodate items up to 11" (25.4 cm) in height.

For best dishwashing results follow guidelines on the following pages to determine the best arrangement for your items.

Important: Do not remove the racks from the dishwasher drawer when loaded with dishes.

Recommended Drawer

Loading

If you have a two-drawer dishwasher model, each drawer has its own controls and can run independently of the other. For a 10 pc. place setting load, a two- drawer dishwasher model is required. A single drawer can hold a 5 pc. place setting load.

For a two-drawer 10 pc. place setting load, see recommended loading images below. For a single drawer appliance, either loading image may be used.

Upper Drawer

Glasses, cups, stemware, light- weight plastics, plates, bowls, pans, long-

handled utensils etc. can be loaded in either rack. Do not

load glasses over the tines.

The utility shelf on the left side of the

rack folds up or down for loading flexibility. Fold it down to hold long-handled knives, spatulas and spoons or short items like

cups or juice glasses. Fold it up for taller items such as glasses, bowls, plates, etc. The edge of the utility shelf is designed to hold

stemware in place.

Drawer Loading Options

A variety of items such as dinner plates, mixing bowls, pots, pans and baking dishes can be loaded in the rack.

Variable Tines (select models)

Variable tines, located in the back half of the drawer, provide convenient loading space for almost any sized item. Positioning the tines flat or splayed out creates

adequate room for large, bulky items like pots and pans or mixing bowls. Angling tines out accommodates up to 12" plates.

To position tines:

1.Carefully pull back on the last tine until notches are removed from the clip.

2.Rotate tine forward into the notches that best fit the size of the dish.

3.Release tine to lock into place.

Sliding Tines (select models)

Sliding tines, located in the front half of the drawer, can be adjusted to provide narrow spacing for loading plates or wide spacing for loading deep bowls, pots or pans. Slide one or both sets of tines

toward the back or front of the drawer for narrow or wider spacing. Leave proper spacing between the items in sliding and variable tines (select models} for increased wash performance.

Utensil Basket

For optimum wash performance the utensil basket should be placed along the front of the drawer with the handle against the tub. Load the basket while it is in the rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.

Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in a covered section (select models}. Close the cover to hold small items in place.

Be sure that nothing protrudes

through the bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.

To avoid damaging the silver finish, do not mix silver and stainless.

When covers (select models} are folded down flat against the basket, mix items in each section of the basket with some handles pointing up and some with handles down. Load knives, handles up and spoons and forks handles down.

Sabbath Guidelines Cselectmodels)

For those who observe Kosher dietary guidelines, Star-K has certified that the drawers in the 2-drawer

model are separate and therefore one drawer can be

designated to wash utensils used for dairy, while the

other can be designated for washing meat utensils.

HOWEVER, NEITHER DRAWER CAN BE USED TO

WASH DISHES ON THE SABBATH OR HOLIDAYS!

Storage of dishes

Although washing of dishes with the drawer dishwasher is not permitted on the Sabbath or on holidays, storage of dishes is possible by following the guidelines listed below.

Deactivation of controls:

To deactivate the audible tones and lights, see page 10 and follow the instructions under Rinse Aid/Audible Feedback Adjustment Mode.

To deactivate the visual indicator lights, level "0" should be selected for the Rinse Aid dispenser level.

*To deactivate the audible feedback, both Delay Hours option lights should be turned to OFF.

If the Child Lock feature has been set, this will also

need deactivation. See page 12 for further instructions.

Reactivation of controJs after the Sabbath:

To reactivate the controls, repeat the process from page 10 and select the desired rinse aid and audio feedback levels. For reactivation of the Child Lock feature, see page 12.

important: Care should be taken when opening the drawer(s} and loading dishes while in the disabled mode as an accidental key press could activate the indicator lights.

Notes:

???If needed, be sure to allow enough time to run a cleaning cycle prior to the start of the Sabbath.

???Clean dishes should be unloaded from the drawer dishwasher prior to setting the controls for the Sabbath to prevent activation of the indicator lights.

|

Detergent

Use a detergent designed specifically for use in an automatic dishwasher. Be sure it is fresh. Store powdered detergent in a cool, dpy place (not under the sink).

important Notes:

???For optimal wash performance, powdered detergent is recommended for use in the drawer dishwasher dispenser.

???Dishwashing detergent gel or powder packets/ tablets can be used. To prevent potential residue or decreased wash performance when using these items, it is recommended that the dispenser lid not be closed to allow the detergents to dissolve properly from the beginning of the cycle.

Filling the detergent dispensers:

1.Press the lever down to open the Main Wash dispenser lid if not already open.

2.Pour detergent into both the Pre-Wash and Main Wash compartments as necessary.

3.After filling the compartment(s], close the Main Wash dispenser lid until it clicks shut.

Detergent will automatically be released into the dishwasher drawer during the wash cycle. The Pre- Wash compartment will immediately begin to dispense detergent into the dishwasher drawer.

important: Do not use detergent with the Quick Rinse cycle. Leave the dispenser lid open when

running Quick Rinse.

Lever

Recommended Amount

Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water filming/spotting and poor drying. Too much detergent can cause permanent etching/cloudiness.

Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent carefully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.

The amount of detergent to use is determined by the hardness of the water and soil level of the load. Refer

to the following chart for detergent usage recommendations.

*Your local Sears store, water utility or state university extension

service can tell you the degree of water hardness in your area.

In extremely hard water conditions (13 grains per gallon or more*), it is difficult to achieve good results with any dishwasher.

A mechanical water softener may be necessary to improve water quality, detergent effectiveness,

and protect the dishwasher parts from the damage that hard water can cause.

Rinse Aid

important: This dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces spotting and filming, and reduces moisture left on the dishwasher interior by creating a "sheeting" action. Water "sheets" off dishes, preventing drops of water from remaining on dishes and creating spots. Drying performance wilJ improve after several washes using rinse aid.

The automatic Rinse Aid dispenser _;,_ ,_, _ @ is located next to the detergent

cup. A pre-determined amount of rinse aid will be added during the final rinse. When the dispenser is low and needs to be refilled, an

indicator light on the control panel will illuminate.

Filling Rinse Aid dispenser:

1.Turn the plug 1/4 turn counterclockwise and remove.

2.Pour liquid rinse aid into the circular opening until liquid reaches the FULL level marking.

3.Wipe up any rinse aid that spills into the dishwasher with a damp cloth to prevent excess foaming.

4.Place the plug back into the Rinse Aid dispenser, turning clockwise until the plug is secure.

Rinse Aid/Audible Feedback

Adjustment Mode

Important: The rinse aid/audible feedback mode cannot be adjusted while a cycle is running, if the Delay Hours option is running or if the dishwasher is performing a Cancel/Drain.

To enter the rinse aid/audible feedback

adustment mode:

1.Press and hold the High Temp Wash option pad for three seconds. An audible chime will sound to

indicate you have entered the rinse aid/audible feedback adjustment mode.

2.The rinse aid has four levels, with "0" being the lowest (no rinse aid being dispensed) and "3" the highest. With each consecutive press of the

High Temp Wash option pad, the amount of rinse aid dispensed into the dishwasher drawers will be increased.

3.Cycle and option lights will illuminate with each

4.To change the audible feedback, press the Delay Hours option pad.

5.The first press of the Delay Hours option pad will disable the drawer opened chime, the second press will turn off the end-of-cycle chime. Each press will toggle between the available settings. Delay Hours lights will illuminate with each touch of the Delay Hours pad to indicate the audible setting.

6.Pressing any key pad other than High Temp Wash or Delay Hours will exit the rinse aid/audible mode.

The rinse aid level and audible feedback selected will be saved unless power is lost while adjusting the level. If power is lost, the rinse aid level and audible

feedback will default to the last saved setting. Each time the rinse aid/audible feedback adjustment mode is entered the current setting will be recalled. The

rinse aid/audible feedback chime comes preset from the manufacturer.

General Recommendations

???The dishwasher interior is normally self-cleaning. Periodically check the bottom of the dishwasher drawer to see if any large food particles remain.

???Wipe the edge of the drawer to remove any food soil splashes that occurred during loading.

When cleaning the stainless steel exterior, always wipe with the grain. Never use products containing chlorine bleach or citric acid.

???The color from some tomato-based food soils may occasionally adhere to various components of the dishwasher interior, causing temporary discoloration.

To minimize this:

Remove excess tomato-based food soils from dishes before loading.

*Run the Smart Sense TM(select models) or Heavy Wash (select models) cycle when washing loads containing tomato-based food soils.

Be sure to use a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.

Coarse Filter Cup

The coarse filter cup is located on the floor of the

dishwasher drawer. It is

designed to collect large food and non-food

items that cannot be

processed through the dishwasher disposal system, i.e. bone, broken glass, etc. Check and empty the coarse filter cup if food soil remains on the coarse filter plate. This ensures foreign objects

are not recirculated through a cycle, causing possible damage to dish load.

Important: Do not start the dishwasher until the coarse filter cup is securely in place and flush with the coarse filter plate. Doing so may damage the dishwasher motor and/or spray arm.

Cleaning the coarse filter plate and coarse filter cup:

If coarse filter plate accumulates food soil, cleaning of the coarse filter cup is needed.

??For a strong odor, place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Quick Wash cycle and allow the water to circulate for about 10 minutes. Interrupt the cycle by opening the drawer and let it stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by closing the drawer and pressing Start/Resume. Allow it to complete the cycle. Another alternative is to use a dishwasher cleaning product.

??Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation Instructions.)

??Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent carefully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.

??To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the plug is securely attached [pg. 10).

??? Make sure that itemsdo not extend above the insidetop edge of the drawer.

??If a cycle other than the currently selected cycle pad is pressed after the cycle and options are locked, the currently running cycle light will flash three times and four audible beeps will be heard.

??The Washing, Drying and Start/Resume indicator lights will flash if the drawer is opened mid-cycle. Start/Resume will need to be pressed before the cycle will resume.

??Drawer must be closed within 3 seconds after pressing Start/Resume.

???If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too hot, from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match

the water hardness, stop prewashing and use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120?? F (49?? C).
