Page 1

- Water supply temperature should be 120℉ or 149℉.

- Dispose of the discarded appliance and packing material properly.

- The dishwasher must be grounded, or it can result in a risk of electric shock.

- If there is any damage to the dishwasher, please contact to your retailer. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part by yourself.

1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. The manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur.

3. Use the dishwasher only for intended function as described in this manual.

4. When loading items to be washed: Load sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal and tub. Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injury.

5. Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher-safe or the equivalent, if not marked,

check with manufacturer for recommendation, items that are not dishwasher-safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

6. If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure disposer is completely empty before

running dishwasher.

7. Do not tamper with control.

8. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in the properly place.

9. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use, especially if the sanitize

option has been selected.

10. Do not let children abuse, sit or stand on door or racks of a dishwasher.

11. 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. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

12. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in

the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

13. Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out

of the reach of children.

14. Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.

15. Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line or plug, and do not plug the

dishwasher into a damaged outlet. Failure to observe these instructions may result in electrical shock.

Filter System

Your dishwasher has a multiple Filter System. In the Filter System, there are four filter-meshes. It can separate soiled water and clean water in different chambers. The multiple filter system helps your dishwasher to get better performance with less water and less energy.

Adjustable Upper Rack

The Upper Rack can be raised or lowered to accommodate loading taller dishes in either rack. The Upper Rack clearance height H1 goes from 8" to 10". The Bottom Rack clearance height H2 is 11" to 13".

Smart Wash System

Your dishwasher has a Smart Wash System. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be performed. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed. It can determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time.

How Your Dishwasher Cleans

Page 4

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces.

The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the multiple filter and spray arms. Soiled water goes down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water.

The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Getting Started

1. Load dishwasher.

2. Add detergent.

3. Add rinse aid, if needed.

4. Close door latch.

5. Select desired CYCLE. The indicator light above the touchpad will glow when selected.

6. Select desired OPTIONS. The indicator light above the touchpad will glow when selected.

7. Run the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher until the water is hot. Turn the water off afterwards.

8. To start, press START/CANCEL on the touchpad.

NOTE: Selections will only be activated when the door is firmly closed.

NOTE: The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle so you do not have to reset each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, just press START/CANCEL on the touchpad.

Wash Cycle Selections

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options. Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and clean fatty food particles. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature and if it is not hot, the timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in the main wash of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH is selected and a higher temperature is guaranteed to handle heavier food particles.

- Open the door and remove all foam and paper packaging.

- Check the door opening and closing. If the door does not open and close freely, or tends to fall, check the spring adjustments. See “Step 1: Check the door balance”.

- Make sure that the wiring is secure under the dishwasher and not pinched or in contact with door springs or other components. See “Step 9: Position the dishwasher under the countertop”.

- Check the door alignment with the tub. If the door hits the tub, level the dishwasher. See “Step 10: Level the dishwasher”.

- Pull the lower rack out about half way. Make sure that it does not roll back or forward on the door. If the rack moves, adjust the leveling legs. See “Step 10: Level the dishwasher”.

- Check the door alignment with the cabinet. If the door hits the cabinet, reposition or relevel the dishwasher. See “Step 10: Level the dishwasher”.

- Make sure that water supply and drain lines are not kinked or in contact with other components. Any contact with the motor or dishwasher frame could cause a noise. See “Step 8: Slide the dishwasher partially into the cabinet”.

- Turn on the sink hot water faucet and verify the water temperature. Incoming water temperature must be between 120°F and 150°F. A minimum of 120°F temperature is required for best wash performance. See “Preparing the hot water line”.

- Add a half gallon (2 l) of water to the bottom of the dishwasher to lubricate the pump seal.

- Turn on the water supply. Check for leaks. Tighten connections if needed.

- Remove any protective film (if present) from the control panel and door.

Step 16: Wet testing the dishwasher

1. Turn on the power supply (or plug the power cord into the outlet, if equipped).

2. Turn on your dishwasher.

3. Close the door, select the RINSE ONLY cycle, and press START/CANCEL.

4. Make sure that water enters the dishwasher. If water does not enter the dishwasher, check to be sure that water and power are turned on.

5. Check for leaks under the dishwasher. If a leak is found, turn the power supply off, then tighten connections. Restore power after the leak is corrected.

6. Check for leaks around the door. A leak around the door could be caused by door rubbing or hitting against adjacent cabinetry. Reposition the dishwasher if necessary. See “Step 9: Position the dishwasher under the countertop”.

7. When the dishwasher is draining, check the drain lines. If leaks are found, turn power off at the breaker and correct plumbing as necessary.

8. Restore the power after corrections are made. See “Step 12: Connecting the water supply line”.

9. Open the dishwasher door and make sure that most of the water has drained. If not, check that the disposer plug has been removed and/or the air gap is not plugged. See “Step 13: Connecting the drain hose”. Also check the drain line for kinking.

10. Run the dishwasher through another fill and drain cycle. Check for leaks and correct if required.
