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.
• 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 your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dishrack of the dishwasher.
•To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or on a dishwasher.
• 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
hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic safety
precautions
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended
function.
• Use only detergents or wetting agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher and
keep them out of the reach of children.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For best operating results, incoming water pressure
should be between 15 and 120 pounds per
square inch (psi). Incoming water supply for the
dishwasher is controlled by a "pressure switch"
application, so if household water pressure is low,
dishwasher fill time will be longer.
FOR BEST RESULTS:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot
clean water and detergent (under pressure) against
the soiled surface of dishes. The water is pumped
through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter
removing food and soiled particles and pumped back
through the spray arm.
Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean
water at the end of each cycle. (the number of times
depends on the cycle being used) For best cleaning
results, the water temperature must be at least
130°F (55°C). To prevent dishwasher damage, the
temperature of the incoming water supply should not
exceed 160°F (71°C).
Connecting your Dishwasher
Your dishwasher comes equipped with a "quick
connect" (fill & drain) hose assembly.
A quick connect faucet adapter must be installed on
the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher.
This adapter is included inside your dishwasher.
The quick connect faucet adapter is compatible with
faucets inclusive of either male (exterior) and female
(interior) threaded faucet connections.
• Screw the faucet adapter onto the faucet. (check
for leaks, use Teflon tape to eliminate if
necessary)
• Connect the open end of the drain hose to the
drain port connection at the back of the
dishwasher cabinet and secure with hose clamp.
(included)
• Connect the hot water inlet hose to the water inlet
valve at the back of the dishwasher cabinet. (do
not over-tighten to avoid damage to threads)
• Attach the quick-connect onto the faucet adapter,
by pulling down the (outer) locking collar of the
quick connect, while pushing the quick connect
upward up onto the faucet adapter.
• When the quick-connect snaps onto the faucet
adapter, release the locking collar. Check for a
positive fit.
• Slowly open the hot water line and check for any
sign of water leaks at all hose connections.
If leaks are located, immediately close the water
supply and repair the hose connections.
If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with
the "quick connect" hose assembly supplied;
• Connect the faucet adapter (included with
dishwasher) to your faucet.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a "male" type
(threaded) connection, use only the standard
rubber washer (2mm thick) supplied inside
adapter. Remove the second (5mm thick) rubber
washer.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a "female" type
(threaded) connection, both rubber washers (2mm
& 5mm) must be installed inside the tap adapter.
• The minimum height clearance required to install
your dishwasher on a countertop surface with
overhead cupboards is 17-1/4 " (43.8cm)
• Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet)
within distance of the electrical power supply cord.
(6 feet /182.8 cm).
• Make sure the water supply faucet connection is
within distance of the (fill & drain) hose assembly
(6 feet / 182.8cm).
• The dishwasher must be installed on a "solid" level
surface.
•To level the dishwasher, adjust the 4 level screws
(feet) under the dishwasher.

WARNING
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst
if it is installed on the same water line as
the dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is
recommended that the hose be disconnected
and the hole plugged.

IMPORTANT
To relieve water pressure from inside the water
inlet hose. Make sure the water line (faucet) is
closed. Press and hold the "red" pressure relief
button on the quick connect assembly, until the
flow of water stops.
WARNING
FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE
BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE QUICK
CONNECT ASSEMBLY FROM THE FAUCET,
WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVERSPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMING
WATER CAN BE VERY HOT AND BACK
PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE
SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.
CAUTION
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE
DISHWASHER. Close supervision of children
is always important around appliances.
IMPORTANT
Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is
closed immediately thereafter) the water inlet
hose will be pressurized.
If for any reason you are unable to affect suitable
repairs yourself call our toll free
CUSTOMER HELP LINE at
"1 800 26 DANBY" for assistance.
Disconnecting your Dishwasher
• Close the hot water supply at the faucet.
• Disconnect the power supply cord.
• Remember to release the water pressure inside
the fill hose. Press and hold the "red" pressure
relief button on the quick connect unit until the flow
of water stops.
• Disconnect the quick connect hose assembly from
the faucet , by pulling down on the (outer) locking
collar. When the dishwasher is not in use,
place/store the hose on the hanger hose bracket
located on the rear wall of the dishwasher cabinet.
Loading your Dishwasher
The dishwasher is designed to receive a standard
"4 piece" plate setting consisting of the
following:
•4 Dinner Plates
•4 Bread & Butter Plates
•4 Fruit Bowls
•4 Cups & Saucers
•4 Dinner Forks
•4 Dinner Knives
•4 Salad Forks
•4 Teaspoons
•2 Serving Spoons
•1 Serving Fork
• NOTE: For ease of loading/unloading large size
dinner plates from the dish rack it may be
necessary to (temporarily) remove the silverware
basket. When loading/unloading is complete,
return the silverware basket to it’s original position.
Preparing your Dishes for Washing
• Scrape off all solid food particles from the dishes.
• Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.
• Empty any liquids from glasses and cups.
• All dishes should be thoroughly rinsed before
being placed inside the dishwasher.
NOTE: Dishes with dried-on foods are more
difficult to wash and may not come clean in a
normal wash cycle.
NOTE: Hard Water conditions will adversely
effect washability performance of your
dishwasher. Hard Water conditions will also
contribute to “Lime” (white film substance)
deposits and/or “Scaling” on the stainless steel
surface of the dishwasher tub and “Heater
Element” located in the sump underneath the
removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing
these conditions, it is recommended to
periodically operate/rinse the inside of the
dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar.
(at least once a week)

Using the Right Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in
dishwashers, as other types will cause over-
sudsing. If your detergent is old and/or lumpy, throw
it away. Old detergent loses its washing power.
Lumpy detergent won't dissolve.
How Much Detergent Should You Use
That depends if your water is "hard' or "soft".
HARD WATER REQUIRES MORE DETERGENT TO
GET DISHES CLEAN.
SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS DETERGENT TO
GET DISHES CLEAN.
• The recessed detergent area located on the inside
door panel will hold approximately 7 grams of
detergent.
Using a Rinsing Agent
You can help prevent unsightly spots on dishes and
glassware and reduce drying time by using a
rinse agent. Arinse agent is specially formulated to
rinse away food and detergent residues that
can be left behind on your dishes. Used regularly, a
rinse agent will automatically provide you
with cleaner dishes every time you wash.
•To fill the rinse agent dispenser, unscrew the
dispenser cap located on the inner back wall of the
wash tub. Add the rinse agent slowly into the
container until it just reaches the bottom of the
filling cap inside the dispenser opening. Replace
the cap. The dispenser automatically releases the
rinse agent into the final rinse water at the end of
the wash cycle. The dispenser holds
approximately 125 cc of rinse agent.
Pre-Rinse Feature
The "Pre-Rinse" is a convenience feature that allows
dishes to be rinsed, if you don't have a full load
ready to be washed. (preventing foods from
becoming dried/caked on the dish surface) It is not
necessary to add detergent to the dishwasher during
the Pre-Rinse cycle. However, due to the short
duration of the pre-rinse cycle, (6 minutes only)
make sure the incoming water supply is hot. Open
the hot water faucet and run till hot, before
connecting the dishwasher.
Using the “Santi Wash” Feature
The "Sani-Wash" feature gives you the option of
washing/drying dishes at very high water
temperatures. When activated, the "Sani-Wash"
feature energizes a heating element that will raise
and maintain the internal water temperature of the
dishwasher at 151°F (66°C).
To activate this feature, push the "Sani" button on
the control panel.
• Push button "in" = the "Sani-Wash" feature is
activated. (Sani-Wash indicator light remains
illuminated during the entire cycle)
IMPORTANT
Your dishwasher is not a "garburator", clean off
large particles of food sediments before placing
dishes in the dishwasher.
CAUTION
Water temperatures this high can cause
severe burns/scalding. Always exercise
extreme care when opening and/or entering
the dishwasher during the Sani-Wash cycle.
WARNING
For the drain system to operate properly.
The highest distance between the faucet quick
connect and base of the dishwasher, should not
exceed 15cm (6”)

IMPORTANT
When the "Econo" feature is activated, drying time
for the dishes will be increased. The dishes dry by
a "convection" method only. To speed-up the
drying time, suggest you leave the dishwasher
door partially open after the program is complete.
This will allow humidity from within to escape.
Push the door open button and the door pops
opens to a pre-set convection dry position.
NOTE: At the beginning of each cycle, the
dishwasher always starts in the "drain" mode.
This is because the drain pump always retains a
small amount of water (in the sump) from the
previous (last) cycle. This is necessary to keep
the pump primed.
Therefore, don't be alarmed if you see a small
amount of water being pumped-out from the
drain hose prior to the start of the regular wash
cycle. (THIS IS NORMAL)
Program Summary/Selection
Using the “Econo” Feature
The "Econo" feature gives you the option of washing
