Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. [] Do not tamper with controls.
[] Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
[] Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in

a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

[] When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage
the door seal; and

2) 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.

SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS

[] Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks

of the dishwasher.

[] To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in

or on the 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 the gas is flammable,

do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

[] Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

GROUND(NG INSTRUCT(ONS

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher 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
electric current. The dishwasher 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.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative

if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

[]

For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the dishwasher.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

• The amount of detergent to use depends on:
How much soil remains on the items -- Heavily soiled loads

require more detergent.

The hardness of the water -- If you use too little in hard water,

dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]

Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)

• Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the

Add Rinse Aid

Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying

performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.

Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by
allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final

rinse.
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish

racks and interior of your dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator

drops to "Add" level.

To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap
to "Refill" and lift off. Pour rinse aid into

the opening until the indicator level is at

"Full." Replace the dispenser cap and

turn to "Lock." Make sure cap is fully

locked.

FLEXI-FOLD DOWN TM Flexible Tines

The row of tines on the left-hand and
right-hand sides of the mid-level rack

can be adjusted to make room for a
variety of dishes.

To adjust the fold-down tines:

1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in
the tine holder.

2. Gently push the tine out of the
holder.

3. Lay the tines down, toward the
center of the rack.

Close the door firmly. The dishwasher starts a 2-minute drain (if needed). Let the dishwasher
drain completely.

If _/our dishwasher did not p[operly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle_

Your Fulgor dishwasher may have some or all of these features.

Light Item Clips

The light item clips hold lightweight plastic items

such as cups, lids, or bowls in place during __
washing.

To move a clip:

1. Pull the clip up and off the tine.

2. Reposition the clip on another tine.

Utensil Basket
Use this extra capacity

basket in the back of the top
rack to hold spatulas, serving

spoons, and similar items.

Cleaning the Dishwasher
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a

stainless steel cleaner is recommended.
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered

dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.

A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is
an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe

measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry

option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

Ifyou have a drain air gap,

check and clean it if the _(
dishwasher isn't draining 4_"
well.

IE

Storing the Dishwasher
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months,
turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the

winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing
temperatures or is left in aseasonal dwelling such as a second

home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your
dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
