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:

DANGER You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions. WARNING 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:1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and2) 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 on 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.

WARNINGTip-Over HazardDo 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 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.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.

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 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.See “Filtration System” in the 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 the best drying and avoid excessive moisture in the dishwasher interior.If you are using the all-in-one tablets or packs, you must also use a rinse aid. Not all tablets and packs contain rinse aid.

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. Several models contain an optical water sensor used to determine water and energy consumption for great cleaning performance.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/Resume every time you add a dish.

IMPORTANT: If the door is opened to add a dish, (even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/Resume button must be pressed each time.If Start/Resume is located on top of door: Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing Start/Resume. If the door is not closed within 3 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 dirtiest dish surface downward, allowing space for water to flow up through 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.
  • Additional loading patterns are available online at www.whirlpool.com.
  • Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to keep your silverware separated for an optimum wash.
  • When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing down and avoid “nesting” as shown. If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, flip covers up and mix silverware types to keep them separated.NOTE: The AnyWare™ Silverware Basket can sit in the door 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.
Check that all arms spin freely

Items in the rack can block the spray arms.

Add detergent

Premeasured DetergentsHigh-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 instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types. See the complete owner’s manual 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 tightly closed detergent containers in a cool, dry place.
Add rinse aid
  • Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without 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.
  • Check the rinse aid indicator with the door down (varies by model). Add rinse aid when indicator drops to “Add” level.
  • Add rinse aid to hinged lid style dispenser by twisting the dispenser cap ¼ 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.
  • To add rinse aid to the sliding lid style dispenser, open the rinse dispenser lid by gently pushing in the center of the lid with your thumb and pulling up on the edge. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the dispenser is full. Then, close the dispenser by pushing down gently the lid. 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 (varies by model)

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. Typical cycle time is approximately 2¹⁄₂ hours, but can take less or more time to complete, depending on selections.

Select options (varies by model)

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 displayed.

Follow the progress of your dishwasher

The fully lit display will glow for wash, drain, drying, sanitization, and cleaning. It will also display the remaining time for the cycle in hours and minutes.

Select the desired cycle by pressing the Cycles button. Each time the Cycles button is pressed, the next available cycle will be displayed.

Start or resume a cycle

NOTE: Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn off water.

  • If the Start/Resume button is located on top of the door; push the door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing Start/Resume. If the door is not closed within 3 seconds, the Start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.

IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option), the Start/resume button must be pressed each time.

  • If your Start/Resume button is located in the front of the door: push the door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Select a wash cycle, options, and press  START/RESUME or press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle and options as in the previous wash cycle.

If you experience Recommended Solutions
The dishwasher does not run or  stops 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 shutoff 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.
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 rinse aid along with 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 unloading.■ 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  “Dishwasher Care” section in full Use and Care Guide). 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 High Temp and 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 in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heat Dry option turned off. No detergent is needed (see “Dishwasher Care” section in full Use and Care Guide).
The dishwasher does not cleancompletely Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance (see Operating Your Dishwasher” section).Check the filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See “Filtration System” in the full User Guide for details.)Select the proper cycle for the type of soil. The Sensor Wash or the Heavy Wash cycles can be used for tougher loadsBe 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 conditionsScrape 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.■ 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/RESUME.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.
