WARNING WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.

USING THE DISHWASHER
CHECK THE WATER TEMPERATURE
The entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and not more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.
USE A RINSE AGENT
Rinse agents, such as Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.
Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (104 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month.

USING THE DISHWASHER
DETERGENT DISPENSER
The detergent dispenser is located in the center of the dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The main wash compartment is found inside the detergent dispenser. To open, press the button on the side of the dispenser. The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Use the pre-wash compartment only when your water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is not used when tablet or packet detergents are used.
NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.
Detergent
Dispenser
You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper detergents.
Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher and then close the cover. The cover will open during the wash cycle.
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
We recommend using detergent in tablet or packet form. Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Finish® Quantum® Powerball®
is an example of this type of detergent. Simply put a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment and close the detergent cup cover. Please notice that the tablet or packet must be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. If the tablet or packet is placed in the prewash compartment or tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher, the detergent will be flushed down the drain in a very short period of time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will be very poor as a result.
If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher. Contact your water company to get information about the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and the table above to determine the amount of detergent to use.

You may purchase a hard water test strip from Haier Appliances. You can order through Haier Appliances Parts by visiting haierappliances.com/parts.
In Canada, haiercanada.ca/parts.
Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will provide great wash performance without wasting detergent or etching glassware.

Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very hot water may cause a condition called etching on your glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your
glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

USING THE DISHWASHER
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
UPPER RACK
The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and glass openings toward the center of the rack. Other items such as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped items should be placed face down for best wash performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure so that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe plastic items can be placed in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/ or poor wash performance.
UPPER RACK - ADJUSTMENT
A loaded upper rack may be heavier CAUTION than anticipated. To prevent minor
injury or damage to the contents, do not raise or lower the upper rack after the rack is loaded.
The upper rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger items. To adjust the upper rack, fully extend the upper rack and lift the front of the rack so that the rack roller wheels clear the end hooks on the front of the rails. Continue to pull the rack until the remaining rack roller wheels clear the end hook. Select the set of rollers on the side of the rack that provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by aligning the rack roller wheels on the end hook and rack rails – Ensure that there are roller wheels above and below the rack rails. Failure to properly align the wheels onto the end hook and rails may result in the rack falling from the dishwasher.

If necessary, oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack to maximize loading flexibility. Plates, saucers and similar items should be placed between the tines in the direction that allows the item to remain secure in the rack.
NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser.
The lower rack fold down tines can be adjusted to different upright angles or placed flat to provide flexibility for hard-to-fit or extra-large items.
3 Angled Positions Available or Folded Down
The clips can be a choke hazard for WARNING small children if removed from the
dishwasher. Keep out of reach of children.
To change the direction of the fold down tines, lower the tines, then pull away from the bar clips that secure the tines to the rack and remove. Reverse the direction of the tines, orienting the handle on the opposite side of the rack. Reattach the tines to the bar clips by pushing the tines back until they click in place. The indexer will also need
to be switched to the opposite side of the dishwasher. To remove the indexer, simply slide it the in the direction labeled “unlock.” Then, align the indexer with the rack on the other side and slide in the direction that says “lock” in order to reattach the indexer to the rack.
IMPORTANT: It is important to ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or the silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the lower spray arm. Also, ensure that large plates, pots, or tall items don’t hit the mid spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

USING THE DISHWASHER
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
SILVERWARE BASKET
Place flatware in the removable silverware baskets. Sharp objects, such as forks and knives, may be placed with the handles facing up, in order to protect your hands. For the best wash performance, place other items such as spoons with the handles facing down. Avoid allowing items to nest together, which may keep them from being properly washed. When loading, distribute items evenly in the basket.
The silverware baskets may also be used for small items, such as measuring spoons, baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, or corn cob holders. The silverware basket covers can be closed to contain small items.
IMPORTANT: Do not load large or tall utensils where they may block the detergent
dispenser, mid spray arm, or become trapped between the door and the gasket when the
door is closed.

CARE AND CLEANING
CONTROL PANEL
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth. Then dry thoroughly.
EXTERIOR DOOR PANEL
Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters of your model number. You can locate your model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If your model number ends with BB, CC, DS, D1, ES, FS, SA, TS, WW or W2 then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with SS or S1, then you have a Stainless Steel door panel. If your model number ends with II, then you have an Integrated door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB or D1-black, CC-bisque, DS-black slate, ES-slate,
FS-fingerprint resistant, SA-silver, TS-black stainless steel, or WW or W2-white)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS or S1)
For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.
For other blemishes and marks, use Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel. You can order Stainless Steel Magic # WX10X29 through Haier Appliances Parts by visiting haierappliances.com/parts. In Canada, haiercanada.ca/parts.
Integrated Door Panel (model numbers ending in II)
This is a custom installed door panel, and you will need to refer to the cabinet manufacturers recommendations for proper cleaning.

CARE AND CLEANING
FILTER ASSEMBLY
Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every month or more depending on usage. If there is a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an indication the filters need to be cleaned.
ULTRA-FINE FILTER
To clean the Ultra-Fine Filter, remove the bottom rack. Twist the Ultra-Fine Filter counterclockwise and lift to remove. Rinse filter with warm soapy water and use a sponge to carefully remove any stubborn particles. Scrubbing with scouring pads or brushes can dama ge the filter. Once cleaned, replace the Ultra-Fine Filter, and twist it clockwise to lock in place.
FINE FILTER
To clean the Fine Filter (mesh plate), remove the bottom rack. Remove the Ultra-Fine Filter.
Lift the Fine Filter up and out from under the two rear retaining tabs. Rinse filter with warm soapy water. Scouring pads or brushes can scratch the filter surface but a soft brush or sponge may be needed to remove stubborn soils or calcium deposits caused by hard water. Once cleaned, replace the Fine Filter making sure it goes under the two rear retaining tabs. Replace the Ultra-Fine Filter.

DOES YOUR DISHWASHER HAVE AN AIR GAP?
An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the
dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.
Air gap
Checktheairgapanytimeyourdishwasherisn’t draining well.
The air gap is easy to clean:
1 Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.
2 Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a toothpick.
3 Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean.
If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode.
These surface blemishes will not affect their function or durability.
