IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all instructions carefully prior to use. For your safety, the information
detailed in this manual should be followed. Improper use and/or handling
can cause serious damage to the appliance and/or to the user including
but not limited to fire, explosion, and/or electric shock, resulting in
personal injury, or death.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this
Ownerƍs Manual.
WATER HEATER SAFETY PRECAUTION
Hydrogen gas is flammable!
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water
heater that has not been used for more than two weeks. To prevent the
possibility of damage and/or injury, turn on all hot water faucets and allow
them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will
release any built-up hydrogen gas. Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do
not smoke, use an open flame or use any appliance during this process.
PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
When installing and servicing your dishwasher, refer to the following:
x This dishwasher should be properly installed and placed in a location in
accordance with the Installation Instructions prior to operation.
x Connect the dishwasher to a grounded permanent electrical system.
x Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in
doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Improper electrical connection poses a risk of electric shock.
x Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it
is specifically recommended in this manual.
x All other service maintenance should be completed by a qualified
technician.
x To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance

materials, properly.

x Use caution when opening or closing the door to avoid injury.
x Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents, or rinse agents recommended
for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
x Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers may
have an undesired result such as excessive suds.
x To avoid damage to the door seal, place sharp items strategically.
x Load sharp knives handle-side up to reduce the risk of injury.
x Do not wash plastic unless it is marked as dishwasher safe. For plastic
items not marked as dishwasher safe, refer to the manufacturer’s

touch. Use care before handling.
x If your dishwasher is connected to a wall switch, ensure the switch is
ON prior to use.
x Do not wash non-dishware items such as furnace filters, paint brushes,
etc. in your dishwasher. Discoloration, staining, and/or other damage to
dishwasher may result.
x If you choose to turn the switch OFF between wash cycles on
dishwashers with electronic controls, allow 5 - 10 seconds after turning
the switch ON before touching the START/RESET button. This allows

Installation Instructions
x Remove all packaging materials carefully.
x The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level surface.
x If your sink has a spray wand, it is recommended that the hose be
disconnected and the hole plugged.
A hose that attaches to a spray wand can burst if it is
installed on the same water line as the dishwasher.
• The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a
counter top 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
and drain hose assembly (i.e., 58 cm / 22.8”).
Connecting the Dishwasher
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 or plumbers tape to eliminate any leaks if necessary).
• Connect the six-sided connection of the drain hose to the drain port
connection on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. To avoid damage to
threads, do not over-tighten.
• Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose to the inlet port on
the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten.
• 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 assembly onto the faucet adapter, by pulling
down the outer locking collar on the quick connect, while pushing the
quick-connect assembly upward onto the faucet adapter.
• Release the locking collar when the quick-connect assembly snaps onto
the faucet adapter. Verify the connection is secure.
3
• Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leakage
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, then the following procedures should be
followed:
• Connect the faucet adapter (included with dishwasher) to your faucet.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘female’ type (threaded) connection, both
rubber washers must be installed inside the faucet adapter.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘male’ type (threaded) connection, use
only the standard rubber washer (0.2”/5mm thick) supplied within the
adapter. Remove the second rubber washer.
For Best Results:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean hot 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 this is repeated depends on the wash
cycle chosen).
Water Pressure
For best results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20
pounds per square inch (psi).
Water Temperature
For best 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).
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.
