WARNING 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. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS I 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. I 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. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS KEY USAGE TIPS Filtration system and maintenace Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration. This filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning. Upper filter assembly The filter system consists of two parts, an upper filter assembly and lower filter. Lower filter 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. The filters may need to be cleaned when: ■■ Visible objects or soils are on upper filter assembly. PUSH DOWN & TURN ■■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch. L O C K See "Filtration System" in the full User L UN Instructions for complete removal and O CK maintenance schedule. IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush or a scouring pad, etc., as they may damage the filters. Rinse filter under running water until soils are removed. If you have hard to remove soils or calcium deposits because of hard water, a soft brush may be required. Internet connectivity (on some models) Use the Internet Connectivity Guide included in your literature pack to get connection and operation instructions. You can also find these and additional information at www.whirlpool.com/connect. If you have any problems or questions, call the Whirlpool Connected Appliance Team at 1-866-333-4591.

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. SLIDE 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. 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 every time you add a dish IMPORTANT: If anyone opens the door, such as for adding a dish (even during the Delay option), Start must be pressed each time. Push door firmly closed within 4 seconds of pressing Start. If door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start button LED will flash, an audible tone will be heard, and cycle will not start. 2
