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.

WARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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.

KEY USAGE TIPS

Top Rack Adjuster (on some models)

You can raise or lower the top rack to fit tall 
items in either the top or bottom rack. 
Adjusters are located on each side of the 
top rack. 

To raise or lower the rack with adjuster 1, 
hold the top rack with one hand near the 
adjuster and use the other hand to pull out 
the top of the adjuster. Raise or lower the 
rack to one of the preset positions.

NOTE:

 The top rack must be level.

                                                                                     Rack adjuster 1

To raise the rack with adjuster 2, lift 
and pull up.

To lower the rack, lift up and let 
down.

NOTE:

 The top rack must be level.

                                                                                    Rack adjuster 2

To raise rack with adjuster 3, lift rack 
until both sides are at the same 
height and lock.

To lower, depress both tabs on rack 
adjusters and lower.

                                                                                    Rack adjuster 3

Silverware Spray (on some models)

Silverware Spray helps 
remove stuck-on food. It 
delivers a concentrated 
shower of water to the 
in-door silverware 
basket to eliminate 
rewashing.

Filtration system

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 level of cleaning performance may be 
affected if filters are not properly placed.

IMPORTANT:

 To avoid damage to 

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

See “Filtration System” in full User Guide for complete removal and 
maintenance schedule.

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 best drying and 
avoid excessive moisture in 
dishwasher interior.
