WARNING! HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE

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 the dishwasher 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 flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked

dishwasher safe. For unmarked plastic items,

check the manufacturer's recommendations.

Use only detergent and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. Never use soap , laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products out of the reach of children.

Keep children away from the detergent and rinse aid, and from the open door of the dishwasher, as there could still be some detergent left inside.

The door should not be left in the open position as this could present a tripping hazard.

During installation, the power supply must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.

WASH CYCLE ADJUSTMENT BUTTONS

Plus Button

This button (see " Control panel " ) is used with the normal cycle where pots and pans have dry, caked-on food.

This is not recommended for delicate items as the high temperature could make their surfaces opaque or their decorative colors lighten after repeated washings.

Rapid Button

This button (see " Control panel " )when used with wash cycle 4(glassware) makes it possible to run the wash cycle at a lower temperature (50 C) and eliminates the drying phase.

WATER SOFTENER

There are two ways to reduce the hardness: one way is by

water

using water softener, the other is by

using detergent.

The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance water.

is equipped with a special softener that uses salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the

Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

Remove the lower basket and unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container.

If you are filling the container for the first time , fill 2/3 of its volume with water.

Place the end of the salt filter(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2kg of

salt .It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.

Carefully screw on the cap.

Safety Instructions

Operating Instructions

1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light comes on. Though the salt container is filled,

NOTE:

the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully dissolves.

2. If there are spills of salt, a soak program could be run to clean the spills.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption.

Unscrew the cap from the salt container.

There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see Figure to the side). If

necessary, rotate the ring in the counterclockwise direction from the "-" setting toward the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following chart:

DETERGENT DISPENSER

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle according to the instructions provided in the" Wash Cycle Table". Our dishwashers than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

IF THE WATER ISN'T TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BY ADDING DETERGENT. The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use

use less detergent and rinse aid

little by little until you find the correct amount.

To remove hard water spots, try the following: Run dishes through a normal wash program. Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc.,

from the dishwasher. Do not add detergent. Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face

up on the lower rack of the dishwasher. Run the dishes through a normal wash program. If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.

WA RN I NG!

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of the reach of children.

Troubleshooting Tips

RINSE AID DISPENSER

SCALE

1.000

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the "close" (right) arrow.

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to "sheet" off the dishes.

Our dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The dispenser holds about 100 ml of liquid rinse aid.

Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door. If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid as it may cause a white film to develop on your dishes.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with

detergent, the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in lather or foaming and can cause cloudiness or streaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on " 1 ". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "2". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. We suggest the setting of "4".

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Safety Instructions

When the rinse aid dispenser is empty, the rinse aid warning light (on control panel) will illuminate, indicating the dispenser needs to be refilled. The black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicated the amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below. Full 3 / 4 full 1 / 2 full 1 / 4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting Empty

FILTERING SYSTEM

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter.

Main filter Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the lower spray arm and washed down the drain.

Coarse filter Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs on top of this filter and lift it out.

Fine filter This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.

CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER

o clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good

appliance polish wax.
