IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
3
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 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.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot-water system that has not been
used in 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.
• Do not spray water on the appliance (it may cause
electric shock or failure of electrical parts).
DANGER
Dishwasher detergent is a strong alkaline 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.
WARNING
Instructions pertaining to the risk of fire, electric
shock or injury to persons.
Eectrical 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 its
service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to
reduce the risk of a hazard.
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
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Remove All Packaging Materials Carefully.
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
(0.2”/5mm thick) supplied inside the adapter. Remove
the second rubber washer.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘female’ type (threaded)
connection, both rubber washers must be installed
inside the faucet adapter.
• The minimum height clearance required to install
your dishwasher on a countertop surface with overhead cupboards is 45cm (17.7”).
• Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet) within
reach of the electrical power supply cord (195 cm /
6.3 ft).
• Make sure the water supply/faucet connection is
within reach of the inlet & drain hose assembly (i.e.,
58 cm / 22.8”).
• The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level
surface.
For best operating results, incoming water pressure
should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch
(psi).
For the Best Results:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot
clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the
soiled surfaces 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 wash program being used). For
best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at
least 55ºC (130ºF). To prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should
not exceed 65ºC (149ºF).
Your dishwasher comes equipped with a ‘quick connect’
assembly (includes inlet and drain hose). The faucet
adapter must be installed on the faucet before you can
connect the dishwasher. This adapter is included inside
your dishwasher. The faucet adapter is compatible with
faucets inclusive of either male (outside) or female
(inside) threaded faucet connections.
• Screw the faucet adapter onto (or into) the faucet tap.
Check for leaks (use Teflon tape to eliminate if
necessary).
• Connect the six-sided connection of the drain hose to
the drain port connection on the back of the
dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid
damage to threads).
• Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose
to the inlet port on the back of the dishwasher
cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to
threads).
• Connect the circular connection of the drain hose
onto the longer (bottom) male connection on the
quick connect.
• Connect the circular connection of the inlet hose onto
the shorter (top) male connection on the quick
connect.
• Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter, by
pulling down the outer locking collar on the quick
connect, while pushing the quick connect upward
onto the faucet adapter.
• When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet
adapter, release the locking collar. Verify the
connection is secure.
• 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.

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.
NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect
the washing 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.
• Close the hot water supply at the faucet.
• Disconnect the power supply cord.
• Remember to release the water pressure inside the
inlet hose. Press and hold the red pressure relief
button on the quick-connect until the flow of water
stops.
• Disconnect the quick-connect hose assembly by
pulling down on the outer locking collar, (thus
releasing the quick-connect from the faucet adapter).
The dishwasher is designed to receive a standard ‘4piece’ plate setting, consisting of the following:
• 4 dinner plates
• 4 soup plates
• 4 dessert dishes
• 4 saucers
• 4 cups
• 4 tea spoons
• 1 oval platter
• 1 small serving
• 1 dish
• 4 glasses
• 4 soup spoons
•4 forks
• 4 knives
• 4 dessert spoons
• 2 serving spoons
• 1 serving fork
• 1 gravy ladle
NOTE: For ease of loading/unloading large size
dinner plates from the dishrack, it may be necessary
to temporarily remove the silverware basket. When
loading/unloading is complete, return the silverware
basket to its original position.
• Scrape off all solid food particles from 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.
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers (other types will cause over-sudsing). If your
detergent is old and/or lumpy, throw it away, as old
detergent loses its washing power and lumpy detergent
won’t dissolve.
IMPORTANT
• Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is
closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be
pressurized.
• To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose,
(make sure the water line (faucet) is closed): press
and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick
connect until the flow of water stops.
WARNING
FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE
DISCONNECTING THE QUICK-CONNECT FROM
THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE
OVER-SPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMING
WATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE
OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS
AND/OR SCALDING.
DANGER
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHW
ASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN IS
ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.

Loading your Dishwasher
Preparing your Dishes for Washing
Using the Right Detergent
That depends if your water is ‘hard’ or ‘soft’:
Hard water requires more detergent to get dishes
clean; soft water requires less.
• The recessed detergent area located on the inside
door panel will hold approximately 20 grams of
detergent.
You can help prevent unsightly spots on dishes and
glassware and reduce drying time by using a rinse
agent. A rinse 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 door. 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 ml (4.2 fl. oz.) of
rinse agent.
The Pre-wash is a convenience program that allows
dishes to be rinsed if you don’t have a full load ready to
be washed (preventing foods from becoming dried or
caked on to dish surfaces). It is not necessary to add
detergent to the dishwasher during the Pre-wash cycle;
however, due to the short duration of the Pre-wash
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.
The Intensive wash feature gives you the option of
washing/drying dishes at very high water temperatures.
When activated, the intensive wash feature energizes a
heating element that will raise and maintain the internal
water temperature of the dishwasher at 69ºC (156.2ºF).
To activate this feature, push the program button until
“P1” (intensive wash) appears in the display window.
• Push the start button and the intensive wash program
activates (“P1” remains in the display window, and
flashes when complete).
The economy program gives you the option of washing
dishes at normal incoming water tank temperature,
(usually between 54.4º~ 60ºC / 130º~ 140ºF). When
activated, the economy program ‘de-energizes’ (bypasses) the dishwasher’s heating element.To activate
the economy program:
• Push the program button on the control panel until
“P4” appears in the display window.
• Push the Start/Reset button and the economy feature
activates (“P4” remains in the display window, and
flashes when complete).

How Much Detergent You Should Use
Using a Rinse Agent
The Pre-wash Program (P5)
IMPORTANT
Your dishwasher is not a “garburator”; clean off large
particles of food sediments before placing dishes in the
dishwasher.
Using Intensive Wash (P1)
CAUTION
Water temperatures this high can cause severe
burns/scalding; therefore, always exercise extreme
care when opening and/or entering the dishwasher
during the Intensive, Economy and Normal wash
cycles, especially during their respective rinse
cycles.
IMPORTANT
For the drain system to operate properly the highest
distance between the faucet quick connect and the
base of the dishwasher should not exceed 15 cm (6
inches).
Using Economy Wash (P4)
IMPORTANT
Drying time for dishes will be longer after using the
economy program. Dishes are dried by a ‘convection’
method only. To speed-up the drying time, it is suggested that the dishwasher door be left partially open after
program completion. This will allow humidity from within
the dishwasher to escape. Push the door open button,
and the door will pop open to a pre-set convection dry
position.
Operating Instructions
To operate the dishwasher;
1. Attach the quick connect hose assembly to the
faucet.
2. Push the door release button to open the door.
3. Check to make sure the filter is securely in its
position.
4. Place dishes on the dish-rack and cutlery inside the
cutlery basket.
5. Check to make sure the spray-arm can rotate freely
by gently spinning it clockwise.
6. Fill the detergent fossa, located in the recessed
area on the inner door panel (up to 12 grams).
NOTE: If using the Pre-wash cycle only, it is not
necessary to add any detergent.
7. Firmly close the door.
8. Open the hot water line.
9. Push the power on/off button inward.
Power button pushed in = on
Power button pushed out = off
The LED indicator (located just above the power
button) will illuminate, thus confirming that the dishwasher is receiving power.
10.Press the program button until the desired
program code appears in the display window.
The program codes are:
P1, for Intensive wash
P2, for Normal wash
P3, for Rapid wash
P4, for Eco wash
P5, for Pre-wash
11.Press the Start/Reset button to begin the selected
washing program. The display window will flash the
program code throughout the cycle. At the end of the
cycle the dishwasher will stop and sound a beep.
The power indicator light remains on unless the power
is turned off (the power on/off button is pushed out).
You can select another program during operation by
pressing the Start/Reset button, then pressing the
program key (until the desired program code appears
in the display window), and finally by pressing the
Start/Reset button again to confirm program choice.
The dishwasher will restart and begin the selected
wash operation.
Note: For safety reasons, the dishwasher is designed to
stop in the event that the door is opened during a wash
cycle.
IMPORTANT: Once washing is complete, press the
door open button and leave the dishwasher for about
fifteen minutes. This allows the dishes to cool off, as
they may be too hot to touch immediately after washing.
12. After unloading the dishwasher, remove the metallic
filter screen (located on the bottom of the dishwasher tub), and wash off any bits of food that may be
caught in it, then return the filter to its proper
position.
NOTE: At the beginning of each cycle the dishwasher
starts in 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, do not be alarmed if you
see a small amount of water being pumped-out from
the drain hose prior to the start of a regular wash cycle.
(This is normal).
