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.
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 ProDry™ option will provide best
drying and avoid excessive moisture
in dishwasher interior.
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.
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
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.
Press start/resume every time you add a dish.
IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door (such as, for
adding a dish, even during the Delay Hours option),
START/RESUME must be pressed each time.
Push door firmly closed within 3 seconds of pressing
START/RESUME. If door is not closed within
3 seconds, the start button LED will flash, an audible
tone will be heard, and cycle will not start.
Recommended detergent
The United States and Canada
have passed a restriction limiting
the amount of phosphorus
(phosphates) in the household
dishwasher detergents to no more
than 0.5%, whereas previous
detergents contained 8.7%. Major
manufacturers have reformulated
their dishwasher detergent for this
change in detergents as another
step in eco-conscious awareness.
With these recent changes it is recommended to use tablets and packs
for convenience and improved performance.
