IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 handwashing, 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 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).

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 EMPTYAT THE END OF EACH WASH CYCLE.

• 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.

ELECTRICAL

INSTRUCTIONS

An electrical supply of 120V AC only, 60 Hz is required. For your personal safety, the appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

GROUNDING

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be connected to an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

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.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a qualified technician to avoid a hazard.

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.

children.

 

 

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle according

 

 

to the measurements 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

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

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.

15 25

• 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 3.5 oz 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 dilutethe rinse aid with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has 4 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 "3".

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:
