Note: Do not load tall dishware or cookware items near middle spray arm as

they may block the spray arm from rotating.

2) Pour the proper amount of detergent into the detergent dispenser.

Note: If "RINSE " indicator light display is "ON" indicating that it is empty,

the dishware because the moist hot air exiting out of the door may cause harm.

Canceling or Resetting Wash Cycle

Note: The dishwasher will release detergent automatically within a few minutes of

the start of a wash. To avoid the "release of detergent" before you cancel or reset the wash cycle, you must press "POWER" button immediately.

• Once you have reset to a new wash cycle, you must refill the detergent compartment if it is open and empty because the detergent from previous wash cycle may have already been released.

Preparing to Wash Dishes:

For get best results, practice the following before you put dishware in the dishwasher:

• Discard big chunks of food from the plate before loading.

• Remove sticky foods and loosen burned-on foods before loading.

• Empty liquids such as juice, soup, soda, coffee or tea from glasses and cups before loading.

• Rinse off acid based liquid, such as vinegar or lemon juice right a way. Failure to do so may cause discoloration to plates, food containers or internal cabinet.

• Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before you start washing items.

Tips to avoid stains and films:

The following suggestions are recommended to prevent stains and films on dishware and utensils items:

• You must rinse all dishware, silverware, glassware and food containers immediately after use. Some citric based food products, coffee, tea and iron deposits in water can cause yellow or brown film to form on the inside surface it left on for a long time or if rinsed immediately.

• You must check your water hardness to see whether you need to use more or less detergent to wash. If water is extremely hard, then it may be causing stains on items. You may need to use a water softener.

• Do not overload the dishwasher.

• Avoid improper loading.

• Be sure to use the recommended water temperature to wash dishware.

• Do not use too little detergent.

• Do not use old or damp powder detergent.

• Do not load aluminum utensils improperly. Aluminum utensils can cause gray or black marks to appear on porcelain utensils if they are touching during wash cycle.

English

Loading the Lower & Upper Rack:

To get maximum cleaning results, follow the recommendations below before you start the dishwasher:

Note: Do not wash any heat sensitive or any other

items that are not designed for automatic dishwashers.

• Keep all tall dishware and food containers away from the spray arm rotation.

• Place food containers such as cups, glasses, bowls, saucepans and casserole dishes with soiled surface facing in the downward position.

• To avoid any type of damage to glassware such as coffee/tea cups, beverage, wine and champagne glasses, do not load them on the bottom rack. Place these items on the upper rack.

• Put cups upside down on the top of the cup/stemware rack and put wine or champagne glasses upside down between the divided segments of the cup/stemware rack to secure them properly.

• Do not load dishware or food containers that are made of wood or iron. These items are not considered dishwasher safe.(See chart on p.18 for details.)

• Do not jam the glassware items together when loading.

• Place delicate items on the upper rack.

• Do not load tall dishware or cookware items near the middle spray arm.

• Move racks slowly in and out to avoid slamming the dishware items together.

• Make sure all dishware and glassware items are securely in place when loading to avoid falling over or striking against each other.

Adjustable Upper Rack System:

The upper rack has two positions, which allows you to modify the rack system according to your current space needs. The flexibility of the upper rack is ideal for washing tall dishware and glassware items.

For Example: Adjusting the Rack to the Lower Position allows you the flexibility to load taller wine or champagne glasses in the upper rack, simply remove the rack and bring it to the lower position.

(lower rack)

(upper rack)

English

For Example: Adjusting the Rack to Upper Position allows you the flexibility to load tall dishes on the lower rack.

Steps to Remove the Rack

1) Open both sides of the rail guards from the upper rack.

2) Slide the rack out.

3) Close both sides of the rail guards so rack will not slide out.

Loading Silverware Basket:

Simply remove the basket out of the dishwasher to load silverware and place it back once you finish loading.

• To avoid any type of injury, load knives and forks face down.

• Try to mix spoons, knives and forks for better cleaning and drying and to prevent nesting.

• Do not mix stainless steel and silver items because you may damage silver finish on silver items.

• Do not load tall items next to upper spray arm because it could be blocked.

• Do not load dishware or food containers that are made of wood or iron. These items are not considered dishwasher safe.

• Do not load tin, pewter and non-dishware filters. These items are not considered dishwasher safe.

English

Proper Use of Detergent:

• The amount of detergent to use depends on the type of water in your living area whether it is hard or soft and whether items are lightly or heavily soiled.

• Water softness or hardness is measured in grains content per gallon (gpg). You can find out the gpg level by calling your local Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in your county.

• If you find that the gpg level is higher in the water, then the water will be harder in your living area. You will need more detergent to clean. If gpg level is lower, then the water will be softer in your living area so you will need less detergent to clean.

See the following table to understand the "water hardness type" and gpg level.

Water Hardness Type gpg Hard 10+ Medium 4-9 Soft 0-3

Note: If gpg level is over 12, then water is very hard. You may need water

softener to improve the water quality and the performance of your dishwashing.

Note: The quality of the detergent will make a big difference in the cleaning of

dishes. Detergent that is damp or too old will not be as effective to clean because the active ingredients will be phased off. Detergent will not work properly.

Note: Use only "Automatic Dishwasher Detergent" for your dishwasher.

Other types of detergents that are not for dishwasher use may cause oversudsing and foaming. Do not use detergents that are dried, caked or moist. These types of detergents will not dissolve properly and and will clean effectively.

English

Pouring Dishwasher Detergent:

Use the recommended amount of detergent for your wash loads. Measure and pour the detergent into the large compartment for the main wash. The detergent for the pre-wash goes into the small compartment next to the main wash compartment.

Note: For the pre-wash you should use one-half the amount of detergent that you

use for the main wash.

• We recommend that you use a Rinse Agent to help remove spots and prevent new film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.

Note: Use only a liquid form of rinse agent in the dispenser.

Pouring Liquid Rinse Agent into the Dispenser:

Use the recommended amount of rinse agent for your wash loads. The rinse agent dispenser is located next to the detergent dispenser. During the wash cycle, it automatically releases a preset amount of rinse agent during the last rinse cycle.

When the dispenser is full, the see through rinse agent level indicator will be dark. When it is empty, it will be clear which means you need to pour in more.

Note: A full dispenser should last approximately one month. If you want to adjust the amount of rinse agent dispensed, the dispenser has 1 to 6 levels that you can adjust to. Simply rotate the dial to your desire settings.

Checking Water Temperature:

• Your incoming water must be between at least 120˚F / 49˚C and at most 150˚F / 66˚C in order to clean effectively and prevent damage to your dishware.

Note: The minimum incoming temperature must be at 120˚F/49˚C in order for the

detergent to dissolve properly.

If you are unsure of the temperature of your hot water:

1. Simply open the hot water faucet and let it run for a minute and fill a glass.

2. Take a thermometer and check the temperature of the water.

3. If the temperature is below 120˚F / 49˚C, then you need to adjust the water

temperature on your water heater in order to maintain that temperature level.

Overflowing Protection:

• In case the water level is rising above the highest acceptable point, the security pressure switch will activate the drain pump automatically.

English

For your convenience, the three level filtration system is conveniently located inside the dishwasher tub beneath the lower rack and consists of a Main Filter, Coarse Filter and Fine Filter.

Main Filter: The purpose of this filter is to trap food and soil particles. Coarse Filter: The purpose of this filter is to trap large items such as pieces of

bone or glass that might clog the drain. (attached to main filter)

Fine Filter: The purpose of this filter is to trap and hold tiny soil and food residue

and prevent it from being re-deposited on the dishes during a cycle.

Warning: Never run your dishwasher without the filters in place.

Failure to do so may cause drain blockage and pump damage.

• You must cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.

• You must turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

• You must drain water from the water inlet into the sink or pan.

• Do not install or operate your dishwasher where the temperature is below freezing.

• If you receive a delivery of a dishwasher when the outside temperature is below freezing, do not operate it until the dishwasher has warmed to room temperature.

Storage of Your Dishwasher in a Cold Environment:

• You must store the dishwasher at room temperature.

Care & Cleaning of your Dishwasher

English

Dishwasher does not work:

• Check if the circuit breaker needs to be reset or if the fuse needs to be replaced.

• Check if the unit is in "OFF" mode.

• Check if the door is open. You may need to close the door properly.

• Check that you have pressed "POWER" button after proper selection.

Dishware and glassware/flatware are cloudy and not properly cleaned:

• Use of old or poor detergent. You need to make sure that detergent is fresh.

• The water may be hard in your area. You may need to install a water softener.

• Spray arms may be blocked. You may need to rearrange dishware and utensils.

• Water pressure may be low. You may need to adjust the water pressure. Make sure it is between 20 to 120 (PSI).

• Water temperature may be lower than what is recommended. (120 Degree F / 49 Degree C) You may need to adjust the water temperature on your water heater.

• Overloading of dishware. You may need to rearrange or remove some dishware from the load.

• (May have selected wrong cycle.) Inappropraite cycle selection. You may need to select the proper cycle.

Dishes are not dry:

• Low water temperature. You may need to regulate the water temperature to 120 Degree F / 49 Degree C.

• Make sure the rinse agent dispenser is filled and the proper amount is used.

• Avoid nesting and do not overload.

• Load items in a tilted position if possible so the water will run off easily.

• Dishware washed in higher temperatures will dry faster.

• Some plastic materials may need to be towel dried.

Troubleshooting

English

Dishware is chipped:

• This is due to poor loading or overloading. You need to be careful when loading. Do not overload. You need to place the glassware securely against the pins. Make sure delicate items are on the side rack. We recommend that fine chinaware or crystal items be hand washed.

• Do not jam the glassware items together when loading.

• Place delicate items on the upper rack.

• Do not load tall dishware items near the middle spray arm.

• Move racks slowly in and out to avoid slamming the dishware items together.

• Make sure all dishware and glassware items are securely in place when loading to avoid falling over or striking against each other.

Noise:

Some of the sounds you will hear are normal.

• You will hear the sound of the water fill and rinse.

• You will hear the drain pump motor operation to pump water out.

• You will hear the motor stopping at the end of the cycle.

• If some utensils are not secure in the rack, you will hear that they are being tossed around the tub.

Oversudsing:

This is due to the use of regular hand washing detergent. Detergent should be for "Automatic Dishwasher Use". You must use the proper

detergent for best dishwashing results.

Dishware Odor:

• This is due to an incomplete cycle. You need to allow the cycle to be fully completed.

• New scented detergent used. This is normal because different types of detergents may have different fragrances.

English

Etching:

• Too much detergent used. Use the appropriate amount of detergent. Reduce the amount of detergent used per load.

• The water temperature is too hot. You need to lower the water temperature.

• Use of old detergent. Read the expiration date. Avoid using old detergent. Use only fresh detergent.

• Do not pre-rinse the dishes. Simply scrape off large food particles

Stained interior tub:

• Some detergents contain colorants known as "pigments" or "dyes" that will discolor the tub with extended use. You need to change the detergent to one without a colorant. Read the container label carefully before using the detergent.

• Some acid based and/or paste based foods may discolor the tub. Use of the rinse cycle may help to decrease the level of staining.

Spots & filming found on flatware/glassware:

This is due to:

• Use of too little detergent.

• Low incoming water temperature and pressure.

• Improper loading.

• Use of old, moist and damp powder detergent.

• Hard water in your area.

Draining Problem:

• Check the level of the drain hose. The drain hose should be positioned above the drain in order to drain properly. Make sure it is on a high drain loop (20”) above the sub floor or floor.

• If the drain hose is bent or shrunken, it may affect water draining.

• If water can not be drained out smoothly, the dishwasher operation will be disturbed and it may stop in the middle of the cycle.

• Make sure that the wash cycle is fully completed before you opened the dishwasher door. If the wash cycle is not completely finished, allow the cycle to be completed and check again.

• Make sure that the air gap is not blocked.

• If the unit is connected to a garbage disposer, make sure that it is not full. If it is, you need to empty it.

• Check for any type of blockage near the drain and dishwasher filter area.

• If the water backs up into the sink, you need to check the garbage disposer and the trap for blockage.

• It is normal to find some water in the sump area near the drain.

Steps of draining the water out of the tub:

1) Shut off the unit power and wait a few seconds.

2) Turn the knob to the “RINSE & HOLD” wash-cycle button.

3) Turn the power on again and you will hear a water draining noise.

4) Let the water drain out for approximately 30 seconds and shut off the unit power.

5) If there is still some water in the tub, repeat steps 1-3 again until the water is

completely drained.

6) If you still notice excessive water present in the tub after completing these steps,
