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 or the
dishwasher has been properly grounded.
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing products can damage

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

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or serious injury, observe the following:
1 This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and
understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2 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.
3 Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware
and kitchenware.
4 Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of
the reach of children.
5 When 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 cuttype 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.
6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
7 To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
8 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the par-
ents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
9 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 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.
10 Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for
service or discarding.
11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or
under the dishwasher.
12 Protect 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.
13 This 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 and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether
the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it
will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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
the dishwasher water softening 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). The amount of salt required depends on the
degree of hardness of your tap water. See Table 1.
1 Open the door and turn the unit on using the [ON/OFF] button.
2 Hold down the “A” button (see page 4) and press [START] until
the display indicates “H:00”.
3 Release both buttons.
4 Press the “C” button to select the desired setting.
5 Save the selected setting by pressing [START] and close the door.
Using the water hardness test strip
Dip the test strip into tap water for a second. Shake
off excess water and wait approximately 1 minute
before comparing results.
After 1 minute
the test strip will
show you the
correct setting
0 H:00 no
1 H:00 no
2 H:02 yes
3 H:04 yes
4 H:06 yes

Salt
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 1.
1 Open the screw cap of the salt container.
2 Fill 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.
4 Refill with salt as soon as the salt refill indicator is lit.
Warning: 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: Refill salt only when the “Refill Salt” LED or the salt refill symbol is lit.
Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.
