RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Water, Pressure and temperature
For best operating results, incoming water should be HOT and the
pressure should be between 0.03~1Mpa. Incoming water supply for
the dishwasher is controlled by a ‘low water switch’ application, so
if household water ceases, dishwasher will stop. We recommend for
maximum efficiency and optimum results use HOT WATER ONLY.
How it works:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and
detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surface 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 . For best cleaning results, the water temperature must be
at least 120ªF. To prevent dishwasher damage, the temperature of the
incoming water supply should not exceed 158ªF.
NOTE: Hard Water conditions will adversely affect the wash ability
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) or special cleaning products that clean calcium
and lime deposits.
Preparing to wash dishes:
For best results, rinse the dishware and perform the following steps before
loading:
• Discard big chunks of food from the plate.
• Remove oils and grease.
• Remove sticky and loosen burned-on, foods.
• Empty liquids such as juice, soup, soda, coffee or tea from glasses and
cups.

English
Tips to avoid stains and films:
The following suggestions are recommended to prevent stains and films
from dishware and utensils items:
• You must rinse all dishware, silverware, glassware and food containers
right a way after use. Some citric based food products, coffee, tea
and iron deposits in water can cause yellow or brown film on inside
surfaces when left on for a long time and not rinsed immediately.
• Rinse off acid based liquid, such as vinegar or lemon juice right away.
This may cause discoloration over time to your plates, food containers
or internal cabinet.
• Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before you start
washing items.
• 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 water softener.
• Do not overload the dishwasher.
• Avoid improper loading by overcrowding or nesting plates together.
• Make sure water temperature is at
recommended 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 porcelain utensils if they touch during
the wash cycle.
Loading your Dishwasher

• 4 Cups
• 4 Teaspoons
• 1 Oval platter

Cutlery Basket
Dish Rack
English
Cutlery Basket
Cutlery, small kitchen utensils and some plastic lids are best placed into
the cutlery basket.
NOTE: The standard plate is 10 1/4 inches. For ease of loading/
unloading large size dinner plates from the dish rack, it may be
necessary to (temporarily) remove the cutlery basket. When loading/
unloading is complete, return the cutlery basket to its original position.
How to load items:
• Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
• Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries
• Do not load plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Cups, glasses and bowls must have their openings facing downwards
• Do not load glasses over the dish rack pins. Glasses loaded over dish
rack pins are not properly supported and are likely to get damaged.
• Arrange all items with recessed or curved sections on a slant to drain
water away.
• Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck together. They need to be evenly
spread out. Make sure the cutlery has not fallen through the basket and
stopped the spray arm from rotating.
• tems with wooden or bone handles and items joined together with glue
are unsuitable as they cannot withstand hot water.
Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to operate
or play with the dishwasher.
Using the Right Detergent
Hard water and How much Detergent Should You Use
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s guidelines. The amount of detergent
can depend if your water is ‘hard’ or ‘soft’.
Put the detegent into the pocket on the inner door. It will hold
approximately 1/2 Oz. of detergent. Follow the detergent manufacturer's guidlines for further assistance.
The pocket for detergent
HARD WATER REQUIRES MORE DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.
SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.
