WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM & SALT

The dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results. Your appliance is equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if you have a household water softening system, you will not need to use this softening system.

The required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water.

(See table for more information)

For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use dishwasher water softener salt.

	Water Hardness	Grains per		Setting	Salt
	ppm CaCO³/l	Gallon			Required
	0-110	0	- 6	H:00	-
	120-140	7	- 8	H:01	YES
	150-180	9 - 10		H:02	YES
	190-210	11	- 12	H:03	YES
	220-290	13	- 17	H:04	YES
	300-370	17	- 21	H:05	YES
	380-540	22	- 31	H:06	YES
	550-890	32 - 52		H:07	YES

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from “H:00” to “ H:07”. Salt is not required at H:00 (this is the default setting).

•Turn the unit on by pressing the “POWER” button.

•Hold down the “CHINA GENTLE” and press “START” until the display indicates “H:00”.

•Release both buttons.

To change the setting,

•Press “FAST WASH” until desired setting appears.

•Press the START button to save the selected setting.

Using salt

Fill the salt dispenser (using the funnel supplied to pour) before turning the unit ON to ensure that salt overlow is immediately washed away. This prevents corrosion.

•Open the screw-type cap of the salt dispenser.

•Fill the tank with water (only required when switching on the unit for the irst time).

•Add salt (dishwasher water softening salt) until the water is displaced and runs out.

•Fill with salt as soon as the salt reill symbol illuminates. NOTE: Reill salt in the appliance only when the salt reill indicator is lit.

*

Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.

WARNING

Never ill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water softening system. To prevent corrosion, reill with salt and immediately begin any cycle.

11

DETERGENT

Detergent

Use only detergent speciically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent.

NOTICE

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft as it may cause etching in glassware.

The dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tbsp. (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to:

•1 tablespoon (15ml)

•1.75 tablespoons (25ml)

3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely ill the detergent dispenser cup.

NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 1 tbsp. (15ml) of detergent. Increase the amount, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup to measure the amount of detergent recommended in the Table.

RINSE AGENT

To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent, even if your detergent contains a rinse agent or drying additive.

NOTE: The dishwasher has a Rinse Agent LED that illuminates when the Rinse Agent is low.

NOTE: The LED will not illuminate if there is enough rinse agent in the dishwasher.

•Always use Rinse Agent even if your detergent contains rinse agent.

•Add rinse agent when the LED on the control panel illuminates.

Setting amount of rinse aid:

The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be set from “r:00” to “r:06”. The default factory setting is “r:05”.

Sanitize Cycle Information

A dishwasher cycle that is a sanitizing cycle has been tested to meet very strict performance requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These performance requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers.

The sanitizing dishwasher cycles are marked in the chart above with an asterisk. When these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate.

14

However, if your household water supply is too hot your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced, and the Sanitized indicator may not illuminate.

The cycle times listed in the Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.

NOTE: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6 for soil removal and sanitization eficacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles have passed the sanitization performance test.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE TASKS

Certain areas of your dishwasher require occasional maintenance. The maintenance tasks are easy to do and will ensure continued superior performance from your dishwasher:

•Wiping up Spills and Splash-outs

Water may occasionally splash out of your dishwasher, especially if you interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher door during a cycle. To avoid loor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

•Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub

Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.

•Clean the drain air gap

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher. With most types you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary

•Check and clean the Spray arm nozzles

Occasionally check the spray arms to ensure that the spray arm nozzles (holes) are unobstructed. You must remove the spray arms to check them for obstruction.

•Check spray arm for grease and lime scale deposits.

If you ind such deposits:

•Fill detergent dispenser with detergent.

•Start the appliance without utensils in the program with the highest rinsing temperature.

•Clean the appliance with detergents/appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.

•Regularly clean door seal with a damp cloth.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.

CAUTION

To avoid injury, do not reach into the large object trap with your ingers. The large object trap could contain sharp objects.

Filters

The ilters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. These foreign objects may occasionally block the ilters.

The ilter system consists of a coarse ilter, a lat ine ilter and a micro ilter.

After each washing cycle check the ilters for residue.

•Unscrew ilter cylinder as illustrated and take out ilter system.

•Remove any residue and clean ilters under running water.

•Re-install ilter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are opposite each other after closing the ilter system.

Spray arms

Lime scale and contaminants in the rinsing water may block nozzles and bearings on the spray arms.

•Check outlet nozzles on the spray arms for blockages.

•Unscrew the upper spray arm.

•Remove the lower spray arm.

Waste water pump

Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the ilters may block the waste water pump. The rinsing water does not get pumped out and covers the ilter.

In this case:

•Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

•Remove the ilters.

•Scoop out water, use a sponge if required.

•Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover (as illustrated) until it clicks, then grip the cover by the lug and irst pull it upwards until it resists and then pull it out forwards.

•Check inner compartment and remove any foreign objects.

•Place cover in the original position, press down and engage.

•Install ilters

• Clean the Exterior Door Panel

Colored Doors

Use only a soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water.

Stainless Steel Doors

•Clean the Interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white ilm to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.

Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

•Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean OR

•Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.

•Clean the Door Gasket

Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Also clean the door seal, located inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.

•Winterizing Your Dishwasher

If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a holiday home or through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by a qualiied service center.
