IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual does not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Some situations may
arise where use of common sense and caution should always be used when installing, operating, and
maintaining any appliance.
WARNING! Before using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
♦ Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
♦ Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read the Installation Instructions for details.
♦ Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.
♦ Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the home.
♦ Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and rinse agents.
♦ To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents and rinse aids out of the reach of children.
♦ Do not load sharp items near the door; you could damage the door seal.
♦ Place sharp knives in the silverware basket with the sharp ends down to avoid the risk of cut-type
injuries.
♦ Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For items not marked,
check the manufacturer’s recommendations. Items not dishwasher safe could become deformed or melt
and create a potential fire hazard.
♦ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
♦ Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place (i.e., guard plate, access
panel, toe kick, etc.)
♦ Do not tamper with controls by removing or changing.
♦ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher door or baskets .
♦ 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
two weeks, 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.
♦ When removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
♦ Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
♦ Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.
♦ Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.
ENGLISH
CHILD SAFETY TIPS
♦ Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep them out of reach of children.
♦ Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or
two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately:
1-800-POISON1
♦ Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent.
♦ Always keep small children away from the machine when it is open. There may be some detergent
residue left inside the machine.
♦ If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
♦ Do not allow children to use or play in or on the dishwasher.
♦ Load all long and sharp items in the knife/utensil basket. If this is not possible, load sharp objects with
the pointed end facing the back of the dishwasher. Sharp items loaded in the silverware basket should
be loaded with pointed ends down.

DISHWASHER FEATURES
Y our new dishwasher features our EuroStyle™ wash system. This means that after the prewash, the water
is drained out and the main wash starts with clean water. If you plan to start your dishwasher right away,
it’s not necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need to scrape off the large particles of
food before loading.
NOTE: Deviations in features may occur, depending on the model.

INST ALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions carefully and completely before you install the machine. The installation should be
carried out by a qualified person who is familiar with all local codes and ordinances for electrical and
plumbing connections.
If a dishwasher is being installed in this area for the first time, most of the cabinet work, plumbing, and
electrical has to be done before you move the machine into place.
If you are replacing an old dishwasher, you must check the plumbing connection and wiring before you
move the new dishwasher into place.
A built-in dishwasher must be enclosed on the top, both sides and the back. The best place for your dishwasher
is in the kitchen near the sink. This makes it easier to connect the water and drain supply lines.
After you have placed the dishwasher near the installation location, remove the wrappings from the dishwasher.
Be sure to remove any items packaged inside the dishwasher.
NOTE: It is a good idea to inspect for any shipping damage before you proceed with the installation.
Should you find any damage, you should report it to your dealer or builder immediately.

DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Eurotech provides a 5/8” (17 mm) corrugated drain hose with a drain line holder to form a high loop. If
additional drain hose is needed, please purchase an additional Eurotech drain hose and join it to the provided
hose with a 5/8” (17 mm) copper tube.
NOTE: Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain line that are less than 5/8" (17 mm) ID.
The access hole for the drain line should be 1-1/2" (38 mm).
The high loop is necessary for proper draining and should be located as close to the dishwasher as possible.
There are three ways to connect the drain supply line, as shown
in the illustrations at right:
A)Typical connection to sink plumbing before trap (high loop
drain)
B)Connection to air gap then to the trap.
C)Connection to waste disposer with air gap
NOTE: Don’t forget to remove the knockout or plug
from the disposer fitting.
IMPORT ANT THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT DRAIN
CONNECTIONS:
♦ Failure to provide the proper drain connection height
(minimum of 20" (508 mm)) above the bottom of the dishwasher base) or a 20" (508 mm) high loop will
result in improper drainage, which will damage the machine.
♦ No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35" (889
mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
♦ The hose must not be drawn straight to a floor well or its
equivalent because it might function as a siphon and empty
the machine.
♦ The drain hose can be extended to a maximum length of 10
feet (3048 mm). Joints and jointed tubes, if any, must have a
minimum 5/8" (17 mm) ID.
♦ If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste disposer,
be sure to remove the knockout or plug from the fitting on
the disposer before connecting the drain line.
When the installation is ready, open the supply valve and let
the pressure act for a while. Then check that all connections
are tight and there are no leaks.
