IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1
WARNING: When loading your dishwasher, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function (normal, household use only).
• Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher; do not use them for
hand-washing, and keep them out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items (e.g. forks or knives) 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.
• 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 touch the heating element (located under the filter) during or immediately after use.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish-rack of the dishwasher.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to operate (or play in or on) the dishwasher.
• Do not allow children to play around the dishwasher when opening or closing the dishwasher door.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
• Do not spray water on the appliance (it may cause electric shock or failure of electrical parts).
• 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.
DANGER!
• DISHWASHER DETERGENT IS A STRONGALKALINE AND CAN BE EXTREMELY
DANGEROUS IF SWALLOWED; AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES, AND KEEP
CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. CHECK THAT THE
DETERGENT RECEPTACLE IS EMPTY AT THE END OF EACH WASH CYCLE.
ELECTRICAL
INSTRUCTIONS
An electrical supply of 120V AC only, 60 Hz is required. For your personal safety, the appliance must be
grounded. To minimize possible shock hazards it must be plugged into a matching 3-prong (grounding type)
electrical outlet. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service agent, or a
similarly qualified person in order to reduce the risk of a hazard.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
• Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dishrack of the dishwasher.
• 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 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.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Open the door very
carefully if the dishwasher is operating, there is a risk of water spraying out.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward.
When loading items to be washed:
1) Load sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cuts.
• When using your dishwasher, you should prevent plastic items from coming in contact with the heating
element.
• Please dispose of packing materials properly.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
WATER
SOFTENER
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 is equipped with a special softener that uses salt specifically
designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the
water.
There are two ways to reduce the water hardness: one way is by using water softener, the other is by using detergent.
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:
1. Remove the lower basket and unscrew and remove the cap from the
salt container.
2. If you are filling the container for the first time , fill 2/3 of its
volume with water.
3. 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.
4. Carefully screw on the cap.
NOTE
1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light comes on. Though the salt
container is filled, 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.
1. Unscrew the cap from the salt container.
2. 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:
Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
DETERGENT
DISPENSER
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle according
to the instructions provided in the “Wash Cycles” table on the previous
page. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid 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 not dissolve properly.
Amount of Detergent to Use:
If your water is not 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 your water, the more detergent you may need.
• 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.
Removing Hard Water Spots From Dishes- Try the following:
• Run dishes through a normal wash program.
• Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans etc. from dishwasher.
• Do not add detergent.
• Pour 2 cups of vinegar into a bowl, set it face up on lower rack of
dishwasher and run dishes through normal wash program.

WARNING: Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep out of the reach of
children.
RINSE AID
DISPENSER
• To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left arrow) position and lift 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 “closed” (right arrow) position.
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.
• Your dishwasher is 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.
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: If there is no rinse aid warning light
on the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by the following
means. The black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates 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:
Full 1/4 full (Refill)
3/4 Full Empty
1/2 Full

below. It is preferable to place serving
dishes and lids on the side of the racks
in order to avoid blocking the rotation
of the top spray arm. Pots, serving
bowls, etc, must always be placed top
down. Deep pots should be slanted to
allow water flow. The bottom rack
features fold down tine rows so that
larger or more pots and pans can be
loaded.
