English
Open door protection
Dishwasher will stop automatically if the door is opened during the operation. Once the door is closed the cycle will resume automatically.
Preparing to Wash Dishes
To 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 and internal cabinet.
• It is not necessary to rinse the dishes before loading the dishwasher. Food particals in the dishwasher will be disposed of by the built-in food disposal.
Tips to avoid stains and films
The following suggestions are recommended to prevent stains and films on dishware and utensils:
• Some citric based food products, coffee, tea and iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film on the inside surface if left for a long time period.
• You must check water hardness to measure the amount of detergent needed 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.
• 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.
Loading the lower & upper rack
Page 12
Note: Do not wash any heat sensitive or any other items that are not
designed for automatic dishwasher.
• Keep all tall dishware and food containers from covering the spray tower.
• Place food containers such as cups, glasses, bowls, saucepans and casserole dishes with soiled surface facing downward.
• To avoid any type of damage to glassware such as cups, beverage, wine and champagne glasses, do not load them on the bottom rack. Place these items on the upper rack.
• Do not load dishware or food containers that are made of wood or iron. These items are not considered dishwasher safe.
• Place delicate items on the upper rack.
• All dishware and glassware items should be securely in place when loading to avoid falling over or striking against each other.

Proper Use of Detergent
• The amount of detergent to use depends on the type of water in your area. Hard or soft water and if items are lightly or heavily soiled will affect the amount of detergent to use.
• 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.
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. The quality of the detergent will make a big difference in the cleaning of dishes. Detergent that is damp or too old will not give an effective clean because the active ingredients are phased off.
Note: Use only "Automatic Dishwasher Detergent" for your
dishwasher. Other types of detergents that are not for dishwasher use may cause over suds and foaming. Do not use detergents that are dried, caked or moist. These types of detergents will not dissolve properly

Filling 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. Push the cover latch in to open dispenser compartment door.
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.
To fill rinse agent in the dispenser turn the knob on the dispenser in a counter clock direction. One the knob is lined up with the marker pull off the knob. Now you can pour liquid rinse agent in the dispenser.
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
• 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. 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 the recommended 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.

Canceling a cycle
A cycle can be cancelled at any time by slowly turning the cycle selector knob clockwise till the dishwasher starts to drain. After draining open the door and turn the selector knob to the off position.
Changing a cycle
A cycle can be changed at any time by lifting door latch to stop the cycle. If desired, at this time change the heated dry option. Turn the selector knob to the required cycle. Turning the cycle selector knob can cause the detergent dispenser to release the detergent. Check the detergent dispensers. They must be filled for the new cycle. Close the door till it firmly latches. The dishwasher now starts a new cycle.
Drying
During the drying cycle you will see steam escaping through the vent located on the upper left side of the dishwasher door. This is normal as heat dries the wash load.
CAUTION: The vapor is hot. DO NOT touch the vapor or the vent
during the drying process.
Overfill protection float
This protection float is situated in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub. It keeps the tub from over filling. Check under the float to remove objects that may prevent it from moving up or down.

Care & Cleaning of Your Dishwasher
General cleaning and maintenance
• Do not use abrasive, harsh cleaners, solvents, concentrated detergents or metal scouring pads to clean the inside of dishwasher.
• Use warm soapy water with a soft brush or a piece of cloth to clean the interior of a tub.
• Clean around the tub gasket with a damp cloth.
• When cleaning the control panel, use a slightly dampened cloth to wipe. Then dry thoroughly.
• When cleaning the door, use slightly soapy water with a soft piece of cloth.
• Do not use any sharp objects that can scratch the cabinet surface.
Preventing your dishwasher from freezing
To protect your dishwasher if it is left in an unheated place during the winter.
• Shut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
• Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.
• 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.
Drain Air Gap
Some states or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between the built in dishwasher and the drain. If the drain is clogged the air protects the dishwasher from water backing up into it.
The drain gap is usually located on the top of the sink or the counter top near the dishwasher.
Page 22

Troubleshooting
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.
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 arm 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.) Inappropriate 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˚F / 49˚C or select Heated Dry option.
• 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.
Page 23
English
22
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.
• 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.
Over Sudsing
This is due to the use of regular hand washing detergent.
Detergent used 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.
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
Page 24
English
Stained interior tub
• Some detergents contain colorant 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 label carefully before using the detergent.
• Some acid based and 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.
Water
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 affected 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.
• 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.
• 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.
23
Page 25
English
Dishwasher is leaking
• Dishwasher is not properly leveled. You need to place the dishwasher on a flat hard surface. Avoid an uneven surface.
• Make sure the dishwasher is properly leveled. (See the installation instructions)
• Do not overfill the detergent or the rinse agent dispenser because it will cause over sudsing and overflowing.
• Do not use regular type hand or dish washing detergent in the detergent dispenser. These types of detergents are not recommended for dishwasher use.
Dishwasher will not fill
• Check the water supply. Make sure that the water supply is in "ON" position.
• Check water pressure. Make sure the water pressure is at the proper level. (Between 20 – 120 PSI)
• Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely. If not, press down to release.
Detergent found in the compartment
• Do not load items too close to the detergent compartment. This may block the automatic release of the detergent.
• Do not use old or caked/dried detergent in the compartment because it will not dissolve properly and will leave a sandy residue on dishware.
• Is the cycle complete? The cycle may not be complete.
Dishwasher is running for too long
• The temperature of incoming water is below 120˚F. Raising your water heater setting will help to shorten the time of operation.
• Call the Haier Customer Satisfaction Center if this does not resolve the problem.
