Safety Instructions - Please READ and Save This Information

NOTICE

Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for possible damages or consequences.

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing cleaning products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

It is highly recommended for the end use consumer 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 speak with your installer for more 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 on the following pages.

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualiied service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualiied service technician using only original equipment factory replacement

parts.

Electrical shock or ire 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 if you are not certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

Warning: To reduce the risk of ire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

•This 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.

•Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.

•This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Please read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.

•Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

•When loading items to be washed:

-Locate sharp items so that 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.

•Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

•To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the 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. 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 low from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open lame during this time.

•Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.

•To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

•Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the ill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Dishwasher setup

Water softening system

The dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results. Your appliance is equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if you have a household water softening system, you will not need to use this softening system.

The required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (See table for more information).

For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use

dishwasher water softener salt .The amount of salt dispensed can be set from “H:00” to “ H:07”. Salt is not required at H:00 (this is the default factory setting).

•Open the door (for hidden controls only).

•Turn the unit on using the ON/OFF button .

•Hold down the “A” button and press START button until the display indicates “H:00”.

•Release both buttons.

•Press “B” to select the desired setting.

To change the setting,

•Press “C” button to select desired setting.

•Save the selected language by pressing the START button.

•Close the door (for hidden controls only).

NOTE: For information on how to use the water hardness test strip, provided in the detergent sample kit, please see below.

Wash Cycle Information

Power Scrub Plus

Cleans items having baked-on or hard dried-on food soils. These items may require soaking or hand scouring.

Auto Wash

Takes the guesswork out of cycle selection. The sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the soil load. This cycle is appropriate for mixed loads.

Delicate Wash

For delicate or heirloom dishwasher and silverware or other special items. Always make sure that the items are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Materials section of this manual for further information. Hand washing may be the best treatment of such items.

Regular Wash

Thoroughly cleans large loads having loosely attached normal soiling.

Quick Wash

For lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils.

Glass Care

A cycle for lightly soiled dishes which is ideal for temperature sensitive dishes or cutlery. In this cycle the temperature is reduced to help prevent dishes from becoming damaged. It is especially helpful to reduce a cloudy or etched

appearance on glasses.

Note: Some glasses are more prone to etching due to the glass manufacturing process

these could scratch the surfaces.

Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge

cloths or wash them out thoroughly several times before using for the irst time.

Filters

The ilters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the ilters.

The ilter system consists of a coarse ilter, a lat ine ilter and a microilter.

•After each washing cycle check the ilters for residue.

•Unscrew ilter cylinder as illustrated and take out ilter system.

•Remove any residue and clean ilters under running water.

•Re-install ilter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are opposite each other after closing the ilter system.
