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.

This mode can be used when observing certain religious holidays such as the Sabbath. To activate the control and interior lights (on some models), press any button.
DISPENSERS
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.

USING THE DISHWASHER
DETERGENT DISPENSER
To open, press the button and the cover will flip back. The detergent dispenser has two compartments. The pre-wash compartment is the smaller compartment on the left side. 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 block detergent dispenser with large or tall utensils.
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.
Call 877-337-3639 and ask for part number WD01X10295. In Canada, call 800-661-1616.

Agent
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 |
UPPER RACK - ADJUSTMENT |
The upper rack is for glasses, cups, and saucers. 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.
The cup shelf may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack where they will block the rotation of the upper spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.
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:
1 Fully extend the upper rack and rotate open the two plastic end caps on the front of the rails.
Remove:
End Cap
Rail
Rollers
2 Remove the upper rack.
3 Select the set of rollers on the side of the rack that provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by guiding the rack rails between the appropriate set of rollers.
Replace: Rollers
Rail
End
Cap
4 With the rack reinstalled, rotate closed the two plastic end caps, ensuring the snap is properly engaged. Failure to properly engage the end caps may result in the rack falling from the dishwasher.

49-55125-1 |
USING THE DISHWASHER
For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines. Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model.
LOWER RACK
When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front left. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items should go along the sides. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack.
IMPORTANT: 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. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.
SILVERWARE BASKET
The silverware basket may be used without the topper for quick loading. With the topper, flatware is better positioned for the dishwasher to thoroughly wash and dry all pieces by preventing nesting.
Without the topper
Put the flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top.
With the topper
Place small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, in the bottom of the basket and snap the topper in place. Insert spoons and forks, handles first, through the holes in the topper. Place knives, blades first, through the holes in the topper.
IMPORTANT: Do not load large or tall utensils where they may block the detergent dispenser or upper spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

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 or WW then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with SS, then you have a Stainless Steel door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model.
Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB–black or WW–white)
Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.
Do not use scouring pads or powered cleaners because these products can scratch the finish.
Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS)
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 calling 877-337-3639. In Canada, call 800-661-1616.
DISHWASHER INTERIOR
To clean and de-odorize your dishwasher, use citric acid or
Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner, a detergent additive. Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner will break up mineral deposits, and remove hard water film and stains.
You can order citric acid Haier Appliances kit #WD35X151 through Haier Appliances Parts by calling 877-337-3639 or visiting haierappliances.com. In Canada, call 800-661-1616. You can purchase Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner at your local grocery store.
UPPER SPRAY HEAD
Do NOT remove the upper spray head.
Clean with warm soapy water using a small plastic bristle brush.
SPRAY ARMS
Because hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings, it is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly. Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing thoroughly.
To remove the upper spray arm, twist the retaining nut 45° and pull the spray arm off the water supply tube.

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.

To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher |
glassware, dishware |
by a low quality phosphate- |
cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found |
and the interior |

online. Otherwise, use Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner found at |
|
|
your local grocery store. |
|
|
Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover. |
|
|
Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and dishware in |
|
|
the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other metal items out of |
|
|
the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on and let it run through a |
|
|
complete cycle without detergent. The glassware, dishware, and |
|
|
dishwasher should come out film free. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse |
|
|
may be used. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into dishwasher just after the |
|
|
detergent cup opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle. |
|
|
This may be repeated several times a year as needed. |
|
|
The use of a rinse agent such as Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid |
|
|
may help minimize a repeat build up of film. Also, the use of a |
|
|
highly rated detergent such as Finish® Quantum® Automatic |
|
|
Dishwashing Detergent will help prevent film build-up. |
