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 environ- mentally-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!
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).
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.
Dishwashing detergent
We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dish-
washing 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.
