Important Safety Instructions

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.

WARNING

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

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

CAUTION

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

• 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.

• When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

• 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.

• 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 fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

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

• This dishwasher is provided with a manual set which includes Installation Instructions and Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.

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

• 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent

Detergent

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent.

This dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.

To avoid dishware damage, do not use too much detergent if your water supply is soft. Using too much detergent in soft water may cause etching in glassware.

Self Help

Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems that are unrelated to a malfunction of the dishwasher itself. The following information may help you with a dishwasher problem without your having to call a repair person.

Dishes do not dry

The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary. Dishware drying can be accelerated and enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack.

Indicator light(s) do not come on

A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if necessary.

Dishwasher does not start

• The dishwasher door may not be properly shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and latched.

• The appliance plug has not been inserted.

• The water supply has not been turned on.

• The Aqua Stop, the filter on the water supply hose, is blocked. See Figure 22. To clean, switch off the appliance and pull out the main plug. Turn off the tap and clean the filter located at the connection of the supply hose. Restore the power, turn on the water supply and switch on the appliance.

Dishwasher runs a long time

If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water. Before starting the dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher. Run the water until it runs hot, then turn off the water and start the dishwasher.
