IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EX PL O SIVE. If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner′s Manual.

Installation instructions

WARNING

A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one , it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged. Remove All Packaging Materials Carefully.

If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with the “quick connect” hose assembly supplied;

• Connect the faucet adapter (included with dishwasher) to your faucet.

• If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘male’ type (threaded) connection, use only the standard rubb er wash er

(0.2”/5mm thick) supplied inside the adapter. Remove the second rubber washer.

• If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘female’ type (threaded) connection, both rubber washers must be installed inside the faucet adapter.

• The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a counter top surface with overhead cupboards is 45cm (17.7”).

• Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet) within reach of the electrical power supply cord (195 cm /

6.3 ft).

• Make sure the water supply/faucet connection is within reach of the inlet & drain hose assembly (i.e., 58 cm / 22.8”).

• The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level surface.

Water Pressure

For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch (psi).

For the Best Results:

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surfaces of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter (removing food and soiled particles) and pumped back through the spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle, (the number of times depends on the wash program being used). For best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at least 55ºC (130ºF). To prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 65ºC (149ºF).

Connecting your dishwasher

Your dishwasher comes equipped with a ‘quick connect’ assembly (includes inlet and drain hose). The faucet adapter must be installed on the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher. This adapter is included inside your dishwasher. The faucet adapter is compatible with faucets inclusive of either male (outside) or female (inside) threaded faucet connections.

• Screw the faucet adapter onto (or into) the faucet tap. Check for leaks (use Teflon tape to eliminate if necessary).

• Connect the six-sided connection of the drain hose to the drain port connection on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).

• Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose to the inlet port on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).

• Connect the circular connection of the drain hose onto the longer (bottom) male connection on the quick connect.

• Connect the circular connection of the inlet hose onto the shorter (top) male connection on the quick connect.

• Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter, by pulling down the outer locking collar on the quick connect, while pushing the quick connect upw ard onto the fauc et ada pter .

• When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the locking collar. Verify the connection is secure.

• Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leaks at all hose connections. If leaks are located, immediately close the water supply and repair the hose connections.

IMPORTANT

• Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized.

• To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, (make sure the water line (faucet) is closed): press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops.

WARNING

FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE QUICK-CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMINGWATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.

DANGER

DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Do not put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re re ad y to wash dishes .

The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent.

Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.

For heavily soiled loads, use the HEAVY, NORMAL WASH Cycle, fill one or both of the interior cups, depending on the hardness of your water, and also fill the open cup on the dispenser lid.

Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser:

To open the wash cover, press the button and the cover will flip back. After you finish, please close the cover. See below:

NOTE: DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT

Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.

Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dish was her deterg ent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.

While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.

Use Jet-Dry Rinse Agent

Jet-Dry rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware,

cookware and plastic.

Filling the Dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.

1) Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2) Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out.

3) Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.

4) Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.

5) Replace the dispenser knob.

Rinse Aid Setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.

To adjust the setting

Remove the dispenser knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent.

Loading the Dishwasher Rack

Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.

To remove the plate bracket from the rack:

Press and hold the START / RESET button for approximately 3 seconds. (The START / RESET indicator light will be on indicating that the dishwasher is in PAUSE mode).

Slowly open the door to both stop the water spray arm and to release any steam if applicable.

Once the water spray arm has stopped, you can open the door completely.

Add the additional items to the wash rack .

Close the door

Press the START / Reset button again, the dishwasher will resume operation after 10 seconds.

WARNING:

Silverware Basket

Silverware should be placed in the Silverware basket with handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, the spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position on the cup shelf.

Do not let any item extend through the bottom of the rack or cutlery basket.

WARNING:

Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!

For personal safety and a top quality cleaning, place the silverware in the basket ensure the following:

• They do not nest together.

• Place silverware with handles -down.

• But place knives and other potentially dangerous utensils handles-up.

Forget to Add a Dish?

You can load additional dishes / cutlery at any time before the detergent dispenser cup opens.

Care and Maintenance Instructions

Filter system

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) And a micro filter (Fine filter).

1. Main filter: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to drain.

2. Fine filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes during wash cycle.

3. coarse filter Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be re-cycled during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapping in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter assembly under running water. To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a soft cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts as shown in following and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward.

To remove the filter assembly, grab the handle of the fine filter, rotate it anti-clockwise then pull upward direction.

Step1: rotate the fine filter anti-clockwise; Step2: lift it up; Step3: lift the Main filter up

NOTE:

If do it from step1 to step 3, the filter system will be removed; while if do it from Step 3 to Step 1, the filter system will be installed.

Remarks:

- Inspect the filters for blocking every time the dishwasher has been used.

- By unscrewing the coarse filter. you can remove the filter system. Remove any food remnants and

clean the filters under running water.

WARNING:

·Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

·The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.

·Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

·The entire filter system should be cleaned once a week

·When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.

Cleaning The Spray Arm

• Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning The Door

To clean the edge around the door, you should use onl y a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind. Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because the y will s cratc h the finish. Some papers towels c an also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

WARNING - Never use a spray cle aner to c lean th e do or panel fo r it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

How To Keep You Dishwasher In Shape

After every wash

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

No solvents or abrasive cleaning products

T o clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of th e int er ior, use a cloth dampened wit h water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning prod uct made specifically for dishwashers.

Seals

One of the factors th at cause odors to form in the dis hwasher is food th at remains trapp ed in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Instrucciones de Instalación

ADVERTENCIA

Si el grifo que ud. tiene no es compatible con la manguera “Quick Connect” que incluimos entonces :

• Conecte el adaptador del grifo (incluido con Lavadora de Platos) a su grifo.

• Si su grifo tiene incluida una conexión de rosca tipo “macho”, entonces use solamente la arandela de

jebe estándar (0.2”/5mm grosor) que viene dentro del adaptador. Retire la segunda arandela de jebe.

• Si su grifo tiene incluida una conexión de rosca tipo “hembra”, entonces ambas arandelas de jebe deben

ser instaladas dentro del adaptador del grifo.

• La altura mínima requerida para instalar su Lavador a de Platos en la superficie del mostrador de la

cocina, si tiene gabinetes de pared sobre la superficie, es de 45cm (17.7”).

• Asegúrese que haya un enchufe de suministro eléctrico de pared, al que pueda conectar la Lavadora de

Platos directamente (195 cm / 6.3 ft).

• Asegúrese que el suministro de agua/ y la conexión del grifo queden cerca de la entrada y drenaje del

agua para que alcance la manguera (i.e.,58 cm / 22.8”).

• La Lavadora de Platos debe ser instalada en una superficie sólid a y nivela da.

Presión de Agua

Para mejores resultados de operación, la presión de entrada de agua debe ser entre 15 y 20 libras por pulgada cuadrada (psi).

Para mejores resultados:

Su Lavadora de Platos lava rociando a presión las superficies de los platos con una mezcla de agua caliente fresco y detergente. El agua se bombea a través de un brazo rociador giratorio, luego se drena a través de un filtro (que remueve partículas de comida o suciedad) y bombeada para enjuague a través del mismo brazo. El agua sucia se bota y se reemplaza con agua limpia al final de cada ciclo de lavado (el numero de veces depende en el programa de lavado que se este usando). Para obtener mejores resultados, la temperatura del agua debe ser de por lo menos 55ºC (130ºF). Para prevenir que la Lavadora de Platos se dañe, la temperatura del agua que entra no debe exceder 65ºC (149ºF).

Conectando su Lavadora de Platos

Su Lavadora de Platos viene equipada con un ensamblaje “Quick Connect” (que incluye una manguera para la entrada del agua y otra para el drenaje). El ad apta dor del grif o deber ser instalado en el grifo antes que ud. conecte la Lavadora de Platos. Este adaptador viene incluido con su Lavadora de Platos. El adaptador del grifo es compatible con grifos de conexión de rosca que sean tipo “macho” (hacia afuera) o “hembra” (hacia dentro).

• Enrosque el adaptador grifo al grifo.

Verifique si hay goteos (use cinta de Teflón para eliminar goteos si fuera necesario).

• Coloque la conexión de 6-lados de la manguera de desagüe and a la conexión de drenaje que esta en la

parte posterior del gabinete de la Lavadora de Platos. Enrosque firmemente, pero con cuidado de no dañar la rosca.

• Coloque la conexión de estrella de la entrada de la manguera a la conexión de entrada que esta en la

parte posterior del gabinete de la Lavadora de Platos. Enrosque firmemente, pero con cuidado de no dañar la rosca.

• Coloque la conexión circular de la manguera de drenaje en la conexión “macho” (abajo/mas larga) del

“Quick Connect”.

• Coloque la conexión circular de la manguera de entrada en la conexión “macho” (arriba/mas corta) del

“Quick Connect”.

• Ajuste el ”Quick Connect”al adaptador del grifo, halando hacia abajo el cuello sellador externo del “Quick

Connect”, y al mismo tiempo empujando el ”Quick Connect” hacia arriba al adaptador del grifo.

• Cuando el ”Quick Connect” entre al adaptador del grifo escuchará un chasquido, entonces libere el

cuello sellador. Verifique que la conexión este asegurada.

• Lentamente abra la línea del agua caliente y verifique que en todas las conexiones de las mangueras no

hayan fugas de agua ni goteo. Si encuentra cualquier fuga de agua o goteo, cierre suministro de agua inmediatamente y arregle las conexiones de la manguera.

IMPORTANTE

• Una vez que ud. abra la línea del suministro de agua, (aun si la cierra inmediatamente después), la

manguera de entrada estará bajo presión (debido al agua que ha entrado)

• Para aliviar la presión de agua en la manguera de entrada, (asegúrese que la línea de agua (grifo) este

cerrada): presione el botón rojo (de alivio de presión de agua) en el ”Quick Connect” hasta que el flujo de agua pare por completo.

ADVERTENCIA

ASEGURESE DE ALIVIAR LA PRESION DE AGUA EN LA MANGUERA, ANTES DE DESCONECTAR EL”QUICK CONNECT” DEL GRIFO, YA QUE DE NO HACERLO, LA PRESION DEL AGUA AGUANTADA PUEDE OCASIONAR EL ESCAPE DE UNA FUERTE RAFAGA DE AGUA CALIENTE. LA TEMPERATURA DEL AGUA PUEDE EST AR TAN CALIENTE QUE EST A RAF AGA PUEDE CAUSAR QUEMADURAS SEVERAS O ESCALDADURAS.

PELIGRO

NO PERMITA QUE LOS NIÑOS DESCONECTEN LA LAVADORA DE PLATOS; ES MUY IMPORTANTE MANTENER UNA SUPERVISION CONSTANTE CUANDO HAY NIÑOS CERCA DE LOS ELECTRODOMÉSTICOS.

Limpiando la hélice de lavado. Es necesario limpiar la hélice de lavado regularmente, los químicos del agua dura pueden tupir el brazo distribuidor y el eje. Para sacar la hélice de lavado, desenrosque la tuerca para sacar el limpiador de la parte superior de la hélice de lavado. Limpie la hélice con agua tibia y jabonosa, use una pequeña brocha para limpiar la hélice. Reinstálela después de haberla secado.

Limpiando los filtros Es necesario sacar y limpiar el filtro periódicamente removiendo las partículas de comida en el agua de lavado permitiendo que recircule durante el ciclo. Ensamble del filtro. Para mejores resultados, limpie el filtro. El filtro remueve partículas de comida del agua de lavado, permitiendo qu e recircule durant e el ciclo. Por esta razón, es una buena idea quitar las grandes partículas de comida atrapadas en el filtro después de cada ciclo de lavado enj ua gando e l filtro semicircular y la taza. Para sacar el sistema del filtro, hale la manija de la taza hacia arriba. El sistema entero del filtro deberá ser limpiado al menos una vez al mes.

Para prevenir el ingreso de agua al seguro de la puerta y a componentes eléctric os, no use limpiadores en aer osol de ninguna clase. Tampoco use limpiadores con abrasivos o paños desgrasadores ya que podrían arañar la superficie. Algunos papeles toalla podrían también arañar o dejar marcas en la superficie.

ADVERTENCIA Tampoco use agentes abrasivos o papel toalla áspero debido al riesgo de arañar el equipo o dejar manchas en las superficies de acero inoxidable. Limpiando la Bomba de Drenaje Ocasionalmente algo c aerá dentro del filtro y la b omba de drenaje. Si esto oc urre, la bomba de drenaje empleada en este equipo, está diseñada para revertir el sistema de drenaje automáticamente, de manera que devolverá el artícu lo en el desagüe. Si por algún motivo ust ed tuviera que retirar manualment e un artículo de la bomba de dr enaje, antes de quitar los filtros, usted deb erá apagar y descon ectar el equipo de la corriente luego quitar el pequ eño inserto negro del sumidero. En cas o de haber residu os de agua, estos deberán ser secado s antes de proseguir. Saque el artículo que causa la obstrucc ión, este debe encontrarse en el sumidero. Recuerde colocar el inserto negro antes de re-instalar los filtros.

MANTENIMIENTO Después de cada lavado Cierre la llave del ingreso de agua y deje la puerta ligeramente entreabierta, de esta manera la humedad y los malos olores no quedarán atrapados en el interior.

No use productos de limpieza solventes o abrasivos Para limpiar las s uperficies exteriores y las partes d e goma no use productos de limpieza solventes o abrasivos. En lugar de esto s productos use un paño lim pio y agua tibia j abonosa . Para quitar manc has u óxido de la superficie interi or del equipo use un paño humedec ido con agua y un poco de vinagre o un producto de limpieza diseñado espec íf ic amente para lavaplatos.

Cuando se vaya de vacaciones Se recomienda que realice un ciclo de lavado con el lavaplatos vacío, desenchufe el equipo, cierre la llave de entrada de agua y deje la puerta del lavaplatos ligeramente entreabierta. Esto alargará la vida de los sellos del equipo y prevendrá la formación de malos olores en el interior del mismo.

Sellos Uno de los factores que causa el mal olor en el lavaplatos es la comida que queda atrapada en los sellos. Periódicamente límpielos con una esponja húmeda, lo cual prevendrá la formación de los mismos.
