Before doing your first wash
Read through the directions for use
Read through the directions for use before
starting to use your machine, especially the
Safety, Child Safety, and Basic Course sections.
Take care with certain materials
Read the Fragile Dishes section before
washing china with unglazed decoration
or other household goods made of plastic,
wood, or crystal requiring careful treatment.
Check the door fitting
Check that the door of the dishwasher fits
properly: open the door a little and let it go.
Does it stay exactly where you released
it? If not, you should check the installation
instructions or consult the installer.
Check the water’s hardness
Call your local water utility company to
check the water hardness in your area. This
is important when dispensing dishwasher
detergent and rinse aid.

Important safety instructions
This manual does not cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur.
Common sense and caution should always
be used when installing, operating, and
maintaining any appliance.
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• Dishwashers must be electrically grounded.
Read the Installation Instructions for
details.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended
purpose.
• Do not run the dishwasher while you are
out of the home.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents
and rinse agents.
• To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents
and rinse aids out of the reach of children.
• Do not load sharp items near the door; you
could damage the door seal.
• Place sharp knives in the silverware basket
with the sharp ends down to avoid the risk
of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked “dishwasher safe” or the
equivalent. For items not marked, check
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Items not dishwasher safe could become
deformed or melt and create a potential fire
hazard.
• Do not touch the heating element during or
imediately after use.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place (i.e.,
guard plate, access panel, toe kick, etc.)
• Do not tamper with controls by removing or
changing.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the
dishwasher door or baskets .
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on a 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 two weeks, 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.

• When removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it, remove the door
to the washing compartment.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline, or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Disconnect the electrical power to the
dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified
technician.

Child safety
Child safety tips
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are
corrosive, so always keep them out of reach
of children.
• Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or
water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek
medical advice immediately: Call the National Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222
• Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent.
• Always keep small children away from
the machine when it is open. There may
be some detergent residue left inside the
machine.
• If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s
eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes.
• Do not allow children to use or play in or
on the dishwasher.
• Load all long and sharp items in the knife/
utensil basket. If this is not possible, load
sharp objects with the pointed end facing
the back of the dishwasher. Sharp items
loaded in the silverware basket should be
loaded with pointed ends down.
• Engage the child safety lock.
Engaging the Child Safety Lock
This model has a child safety lock on the left of
the door handle. To activate the lock, press in
the door handle and use a screwdriver to turn
the screw slot to a vertical position. Reset it by
turning the slot to its horizontal position.
To open the door when the safety lock is
engaged, press the white plastic tab located
to the left of the door handle toward the left
and hold it as you lift the door handle. (See
illustration at below.)

Basic Course
Below are step-by-step instructions to help you
achieve the best possible dishwashing results.
Load the baskets correctly!
Thanks to Self Cleaning System, you
do not need to rinse the dishes under
running water. Simply remove large food
particles and debris. Convenient and environmentally-friendly!
Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and
saucers in the upper basket. Wine glasses
should be hung from or leaned against the
wine glass shelf and knives placed in the knife
stand if present.
Note!
Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards
or downwards!
The cutlery basket has a folding flap in the
middle for small items or narrow shafts,
such as electric whisks.
Place long cutlery and carving knives in the
special knife box (if present) or in the upper
basket.
Check that the spray arms are able to
move freely.
See the section entitled Fragile Dishes if you
want to wash objects that may be fragile.
Place dinner plates, side plates, serving
dishes, saucepans, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket. The removable plate insert, which comes with certain
models, can be easily removed to provide
room for large plates, saucepans, and pots, or
placed in three alternative positions.
Stand the cutlery with handles downward
and as spread out as possible. Ensure that
spoons are not resting inside each other.
Do not put cutlery made of different materials - such as silver and stainless steel - in
the same compartment (risk of stains).
Dishwashing detergent
We recommend that you use
only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Using the wrong detergent could cause flooding and/or damage
your dishwasher. Do not use detergent that
has been wet and is clumped. Also, check
the expiration date on the container.
The amount of detergent needed can vary
due to differences in water hardness. To
determine the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water utility or area water
softening company. The harder the water,
the more detergent you may need. Refer to
the chart below for the recommended detergent amounts based on water hardness.
Remember, you should adjust the amount
of detergent you use by small amounts
until you find the correct amount.
