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.
Congratulations on purchasing your water- and energy-efficient dishwasher! This dishwasher cleans by spraying the dishes with water and pauses to allow the detergent to soak into and release the soils on the dishes. The cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Your dishwasher contains an optical water sensor. The optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum 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. The first cycle using the sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.
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. The use of rinse aid greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. Rinse aid also keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
The United States and Canada have passed restrictions limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in household dishwasher detergents to reduce the impact of detergents on our environment. Major manufacturers have reformulated their dishwasher detergent. With these recent changes it is recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and improved performance.
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both your upper and lower filters and rinse under running water according to the chart in the Filtration System section. Maintenance of your filters regularly will sustain peak cleaning performance.
Cleaning the filters periodically helps to keep the dishwasher working at peak performance. The filters can be found at the bottom center of your dishwasher.
See "Filtration System" section for information on removing and maintaining the filters.
You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying performance. Rinse aid along with the Heat Dry and Extended Heat Dry option will provide best drying and avoid excessive moisture in dishwasher interior.
Extended Heat Dry
For best drying use the Extended Heated Dry option.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. When you need fast results, the Express Wash will clean your dishes using slightly more water and energy. Select the Heat Dry option to include automatic drying (adds approximately 38 to 45 minutes to the Express Wash cycle).
The most advanced and versatile cycle. ProWash™ cycle senses the soil amount and toughness of soil to adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning using only the amount of water and energy needed. The ProWash™ and Tough cycles are recommended for tough soil. No need to pre-rinse dishes; just scrape leftover food into the trash or disposal and load.
If anyone opens the door (such as, to add a dish, even during the Delay hours), the Start/ RESUME button must be pressed each time. Push door firmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start/RESUME. If the door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start/ RESUME button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.
We recommend quality tablets and packs for convenience and improved performance.
When using other forms of detergent, it is possible to use too much. This can lead to etching of your dishes. See "Add Detergent" in the Dishwasher Use section, to determine the amount of detergent needed based on soil level and water hardness.
Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and other hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.
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 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 the lid.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types or use the chart below for standard powdered detergents.
To close lid
Place selected detergent in the dispenser. Place finger, as shown, and slide lid closed. Press firmly until it clicks.
To open lid
Push OPEN, as shown, and the lid will slide open.
Water Hardness | Soil Level | Prewash Compartment* | Main Wash Compartment |
Soft (0-4 grains per U.S. gallon) | Light | None | "Soft" fill line |
Normal | None | "Soft" fill line | |
Heavy | Full | "Soft" fill line | |
Medium (5-9 grains per U.S. gallon) | Light | None | "Soft" fill line |
Normal | Full | Full** | |
Heavy | Full | Full** | |
Hard (10-14 grains per U.S. gallon) | Light | Full** | Full** |
Normal | Full** | Full** | |
Heavy | Full** | Full** |
*The prewash compartment is on top of the sliding door of the dispenser.
**A full main wash compartment contains 2 Tbsp (30 mL).
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.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types.
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The use of rinse aid greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. Rinse aid also keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under most conditions, this will last one to three months.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is completely opened.
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results. If you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting. If you notice foam in your dishwasher, use a lower setting.
To adjust the setting:
Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid. If you change the setting only change it one number at a time and run a few cycles before changing it again. Too much rinse aid can reduce cleaning performance and too little may leave spots or rings.
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves gas. Cycle times may increase or decrease depending on selections. Estimated cycle times after calibration are listed in the "Cycle and Option Descriptions" chart in the following section. Select the desired cycle by pressing the Cycles button. Each time you press the Cycles button, it will advance to the next available cycle.
See the "Cycle and Option Descriptions" chart in the following section.
You can customize the cycles by selecting the options desired and pressing the Start/RESUME keypad.
If the door has been opened for more than a few seconds after the cycle has started (even during the Delay time), the Start/RESUME button must be pressed again or the cycle will not resume.
Estimated cycle times may increase or decrease, depending on water temperature, soil conditions, dish load size, and options selected. You can customize your cycle by selecting an option.
See option selections. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option or select a different option. You can change an option any time before the selected option begins. At each stage of the wash cycle, you may hear noises that you are not used to hearing in your previous dishwasher. Each cycle will provide a series of pauses and water sprays throughout the wash cycle. This is normal and will provide optimal cleaning performance.
The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

Sani Rinse | 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. | ProWash™ Normal | Increases the main wash temperature from 105°F (41°C) to 140°F (60°C) and the final rinse from 140°F (60°C) to 155°F (68°C). | 0:00 to 2:20 | 1.2 to 6.2 (4.8 to 23.3) |

If you select the Sani Rinse option, when the cycle is finished, the Sanitized indicator glows. If the dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the Sanitized indicator flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or if water could not be heated to required temperature. The light goes off when you open and close door or touch Cancel. |
After Dishwasher Is Started You can interrupt a cycle and restart your dishwasher from the beginning using the following procedure:
Silverware basket lids:
Use silverware basket lids to provide optimal spacing and best cleaning performance.
NOTE: If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, push tabs inward on either end and lift lid off of the silverware baskets. Mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons for best cleaning results.
Fold down the extra shelf on the right-hand side of the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware, or long items such as utensils and spatulas. For best results on cups, stagger the spacing so that the cups on the shelf are not directly above the cups below.
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 the rack:
Press both rack adjuster thumb levers and lift the rack until it is in the up position and level.
To lower the rack:
Press both rack adjuster thumb levers and slide the rack to its down position and level.
NOTE: The top rack must be level.
The removable top rack allows you to wash larger items such as pots, roasters, and cookie sheets in the bottom rack.
Remove dishes prior to removing the top rack from the dishwasher.
To remove the rack:
To gain access to the removable tabs on the tracks/rails, pull the upper 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:
Pull the tracks forward about halfway out of the tub. Along the sides of the racks are round attachment tabs. Align the rack's back end attachment tabs with the cutout in the track. Push down into place. Pull the tracks completely out, and align the rack's front end attachment tabs with the cutout in the track. Push down into place. You will hear a snap when the front end of the rack is secured into place on each side.
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 filter system consists of two parts, an upper filter assembly and a lower filter.
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.
The filters may need to be cleaned when:
It is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.
RECOMMENDED TIME INTERVAL TO CLEAN YOUR FILTER | |||
Number of Loads Per Week | If you only scrape before loading* | If you scrape and rinse before loading | If you wash before loading |
8–12 | Every 2 months | Every 4 months | Once per year |
4–7 | Every 4 months | Once per year | Once per year |
1–3 | Twice per year | Once per year | Once per year |
*Scrape excess food into the trash or food disposer prior to loading the dishwasher. We recommend this practice because it will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes. This will also save you time and effort.
If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your filter at least once per month. Buildup of white residue on your dishwasher indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see the "Troubleshooting" section.
Do not use wire brushes, scouring pads, etc., as they may damage the filters.
Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.
To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the lower filter is securely in place and the upper filter assembly is locked into place. If the upper filter assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.
Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, it has a coating that is resistant to fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher.
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.
To Use:
Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar rinse. However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Place (do not pour), 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
NOTE: KitchenAid ® recommends the use of high-quality, premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.
If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn't draining well.

PROBLEM | SOLUTION |
DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUN | NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle. If the Start/RESUME light is blinking, press Start/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds. Be sure the door is closed and latched.
Be sure the Control/Lock feature is not on. If the control lock indicator is lit, press and hold Sani Rince for 3 seconds. The Control Lock LED will turn off and you can then operate the controls. Be sure you have selected a cycle. See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" section. Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. If lights other than Start/RESUME blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service. If the numeric display shows a code "F2E2" you will need to call for service. |
DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE DISPENSER OR TABLET IS ON BOTTOM OF TUB | Check for dishware, such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly. Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump-free. Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing Start/RESUME. |
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG | NOTES:
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle. |
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING | NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. Use of rinse aid along with the Heat Dry or Extended Heat Dry option is needed for proper drying. Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this guide). Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when unloading.
|
WILL NOT FILL | Be sure the water to the dishwasher is turned on. Check that the overfill protection float is free from obstructions. See the "Parts and Features" section. Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water. See "Blinking Lights" in the "Troubleshooting" section. |
WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN | Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean indicator is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle by pressing Start/RESUME and closing the door within 4 seconds. If 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. |
HARD WATER (WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE) | NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it difficult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is 15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help: Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month. Clean the upper and lower filters at least once per month. See "Cleaning Instructions" in the "Filtration System" section. Always use a rinse aid. Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent. Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers. |
ODORS | NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load until a full load is ready to run. Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a Normal cycle with the Heat Dry or ProDry™ option turned off. Do not use detergent. The dishwasher may not be draining properly, see "Water Remains In The Tub/Will Not Drain" in the "Troubleshooting" section. |
NOISY | 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 and 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. |
FOOD SOILS REMAIN ON DISHES | Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance. See the "Dishwasher Use" section. Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See "Cleaning Instructions" in the "Filtration System" section for details. Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Tough cycle with the Hi-Temp Wash option can be used for tougher loads. Be 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 conditions. Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse). |
DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN DISHWASHER/CYCLE NOT COMPLETE | 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:
If no water was present in the machine at any time during a heated wash cycle, the cycle will end and the Clean indicator will not come on. See "Will Not Fill" in the "Troubleshooting" section. |
DID NOT SANITIZE | If the Sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final rinse or the temperature for your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120ºF (49°C). |
DAMAGE TO DISHWARE | Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading instructions within this guide.) |
BLINKING LIGHTS | Blinking indicators will occur when the cycle is paused or when the cycle has been interrupted by opening the door. If the Start/Resume light is blinking, press the Start/RESUME keypad and close the door within 4 seconds. See "Start or RESUME a Cycle" in the "Dishwasher Use" section. If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, call for service. |
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED DISHWARE (AND HARD WATER SOLUTION) | Add or adjust the amount of liquid rinse aid for better drying and to reduce spotting. See the "Detergent and Rinse Aid" section. 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 "Hard Water (White Residue on Dishwasher Interior or Glassware)" in the "Troubleshooting" section. If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below). Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C). Try using the Hi Temp Wash and Sani Rinse options. To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
|
ETCHING (PERMANENT CLOUDINESS) | This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of water that is too hot, using too much detergent with soft water, or pre-washing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C). |
LEAKING WATER | Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level. Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately 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 lid is securely attached and avoid overfilling. |
TUB IS DISCOLORED | High iron content in the water can discolor the tub. Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware. Large amounts of tomato-based foods should be removed from the dishes before loading. A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean. |
