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.

SABBATH/DOOR WAKE UP MODE

To turn this option ON/OFF, press and hold the Start and Wash Temp buttons for 5 seconds, close the door and wait 3 minutes for the dishwasher to go into sleep mode. In the OFF mode, the control display, control sounds, and interior lights (on some models) will not respond to the door opening/ closing. 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.

Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.9 oz. (115 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month.

	Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
1
	Open the dispenser door. (Rinse agent compartment is
2
	on the right side of dispenser.)

3 Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to allow rinse aid to settle.

4 Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming inside the dishwasher.

5 Close the dispenser door.

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.

Main Wash

Pre-Wash

Rinse

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.

	Number of	Detergent Cup(s) to Fill
	Grains/Gal.
	Less than 5	Fill main cup to line 20
	5 to 10	Fill main cup to line 30
	Greater than 10	Fill both main cup
		and pre-wash cup

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

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.

8	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.

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.

Lower Spray Arm

Filter Assembly

Filter Plate

To clean the filter assembly, remove the bottom rack and lower spray arm. Twist the filter assembly counterclockwise and lift to remove. Remove the filter plate.

STAINLESS STEEL INNER DOOR AND TUB

The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability available in a Haier Appliances dishwasher.

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.

PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

	Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or
1
	trip circuit breaker.
	Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line
2
	from the water valve.
	Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a
3
	pan to catch the water.)
	Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.
4

Twist	Filter Plate

and lift to remove

Rinse the filters with warm soapy water. Scouring pads or brushes can scratch the filter surfaces but a soft brush or sponge may be needed to remove stubborn soils or calcium deposits caused by hard water.

Press tabs on
the fine filter	Fine Filter
and pull to
separate from
the coarse filter	Coarse Filter

Once cleaned, replace the filter plate, insert the filter assembly through the plate and twist it clockwise until it locks in place. Make sure the filters are fully seated as improper replacement of the filters may reduce the performance level of the appliance. Replace the lower spray arm and lower rack.

IMPORTANT: Before replacing, make sure no objects have fallen into the opening in the bottom of the dishwasher.

Replace the filter plate.

Snap the fine filter back

into the coarse filter.

Place filter assembly through the filter plate and twist clockwise to lock into the dishwasher

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.
