Important Safety Instructions

General Safety Precautions

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

WARNING

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose (to wash dishes, flatware, pots and pans). This appliance is not intended for commercial use.

If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

The dishwasher must be mounted in a completely enclosed cabinet.

Repairs should be performed only by a qualified technician. Disconnect the power before servicing.

Make sure individuals who use the dishwasher are able to operate it properly.

Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the dishwasher, even when it is not in use. Do not allow children to play with the controls or other parts of the dishwasher.

Never allow anyone, including children, to sit, stand or climb on any part of the dishwasher. Stepping or sitting on any part of it may result in tipping, damage, serious injury or death.

Many surfaces within the dishwasher achieve high temperatures. Do not touch the interior surfaces or items inside the dishwasher during or immediately after use. Exercise caution when opening the door. Let hot air and steam escape before looking or reaching inside.

Clean the dishwasher only as instructed in this manual.

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels (guard plate, access panel, toe kick etc.) are in place.

Do not store or use combustible materials, liquids or gases near this or any other appliance.

Store all detergents and rinse agents out of the reach of children.

Use only detergents and rinse agents designed for use with a residential dishwasher.

Do not tamper with the controls.

WARNING

Do not run the dishwasher when you are out of the building.

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 a period of

time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes to release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this process.

CAUTION

Use the dishwasher to wash flatware and cookware ONLY. Washing other items may damage or discolor the dishwasher. Wash only the types of dishes and cooking utensils indicated in this manual. Take care with certain materials. Read the Loading Your Dishwasher section before use.

To prevent household mold and mildew damage, periodically check the inlet and drain hoses for leaks.

Turn off the water supply valve if the appliance will not be used for an extended period of time.

When loading items to be washed:

Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

Store the dishwasher where the temperature remains above freezing. Avoid long transport distances in very cold weather.

Transport the dishwasher only in the upright position or laying on its back.

About the Control Panel

The control panel touch keys only react when the door is open. It takes a moment for the keys to reactivate after opening the door.

If no keys are touched for two minutes, the control panel goes into energy saving mode.

Close and reopen the door, or hold your finger the main power key to reactivate the panel.

Child Safety Lock

This dishwasher is equipped with an electronic child safety lock. When the child lock is engaged, the control panel keys do not work normally, making it more difficult to program and start.

If you touch any of the control panel touch keys, except the main power key when the lock is activated, “LOC“ will appear on the display, with no other effect on the control panel. See page 12 for child lock activation instructions.

To start the dishwasher while the lock is activated: Touch the Temperature and Dry keys at the same time. The child safety lock will deactivate for two minutes, allowing you to set and start the dishwasher normally. The lock will re-engage automatically after two minutes.

Loading Your Dishwasher

WARNING

Place sharp objects in the silverware basket or knives in the knife stand (see page 6).

If it is not possible to load sharp objects in the silverware basket, load them with the sharp end toward the back of the dishwasher. Locate these items where they will not damage the door seal or cause personal injury.

When loading the silverware basket, insert all sharp or pointed objects with the handles up.

CAUTION

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe.” Always check the manufacturer’s recommendation before washing plastic items that are not marked.

IMPORTANT

If the load will sit for a while before washing, run the Rinse and Hold cycle to reduce the chance of food hardening. Doing so will also reduce the risk of acidic foods damaging metal surfaces.

2.Lift up on the tab in the center of the basket to expose the cover.

3.Snap the cover shut over the compartment.

NOTE: For convenience, you may also insert silverware or small utensils into the slots on top of the covered compartment. Insert them with the handles down.

Loading the Racks

CAUTION

Always place large or heavy items (such as pots, pans and large dishware) in the bottom rack.

To avoid damage to the racks, do not let sharp edges come into contact with them.

To minimize breakage and chipping, do not allow fragile items to touch each other

IMPORTANT

The spray arms must spin freely. Do not allow items sticking out of the racks to block them.

Do not load cookie sheets and large platters in the front of the bottom rack. Doing so will prevent water from dissolving the detergent in the detergent dispenser. See diagram below.

Loading Your Dishwasher

Place glasses, cups, bowls, small plates and saucers in the top rack. Put wine glasses on the

wine glass shelf or lean them against it. Place long knives in the knife stand.

Scrape off leftover food items and non-food items, like toothpicks and napkins, before

loading. It is not necessary to rinse items under running water before loading them.

• Do not stack dishes, glasses or pots and pans. Stacking will prevent water from getting to soiled surfaces.

• Load all items so that the open ends face down as much as possible. Load items that are not completely face down so that the open end is toward the center of the rack. Good drainage provides the best drying.

• Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes,

pots and pans on the bottom rack.

 

• Load crystal and glass so that it does not knock

 

together during the wash cycle. Use the lowest

 

wash temperature and shortest wash and dry

 

cycles possible.

 

• To minimize noise, do not allow pots and pans to

 

touch. Also keep large items from touching the

 

sides of your dishwasher.
