IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
Please READ and SAVE this information
WARNING
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unauthorized service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by an authorized service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.
Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed and the dishwasher has been properly grounded.
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!
NOTICE
Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be responsible for the possible damages or consequences.
It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or contact your installer for more information.
To avoid possible dishwasher damage, do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads (metal or plastic), bleach-based wipes, or abrasive cloths/paper towels to clean your dishwasher’s exterior door panel. Your dishwasher's exterior door panel can be damaged by doing so.
NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:
1This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2This appliance must be grounded to a 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. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.
3Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.
4Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep
them out of the reach of children.
5When loading items to be washed:
•Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
•Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
•Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
•Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
•Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
6Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
7To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
8When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by authorized persons.
9Under 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. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, 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 explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
10Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for service or discarding.
11To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
12Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.
13This appliance 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. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.
•Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with an authorized electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Dishwasher Setup
Water Softening System
Your dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results and is equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if you have a household water softening system, the internal system provided is not needed.
For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use dishwasher water softening salt. The amount of salt dispensed can be set from “H:00” to “H:07”. Salt is not used at H:00 (default factory setting). The amount of salt required depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water. See Table 1.
1Turn the unit on using the [ON/OFF] button.
2Hold down the “A” button (see Figure 1) and press [Start/ Resume] until the display indicates “H:00”.
3Release both buttons and press the “C” button to select the
desired setting.
4 Save the selected setting Figure 1 by pressing [Start/
Resume] .
Using the water hardness test strip

Salt
Figure 2
Only refill the salt container, using a funnel to pour, right before turning on the unit to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This prevents corrosion. See Figure 2.
1Open the screw cap of the salt container.
2Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for the first time).
3 Add dishwasher salt until the water is displaced and runs out.
4Refill with salt as soon as the “Refill Salt” LED is lit.
Notice: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately begin any cycle.
Note: Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.
For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service (1-800-944-2904).
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware.
Figure 3
The dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent (Figure 3) to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dis-
penser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml (1 tbsp) of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in Table 2.
