IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all instructions carefully prior to use. For your safety, the information
detailed in this manual should be followed. Improper use and/or handling
can cause serious damage to the appliance and/or to the user including
but not limited to fire, explosion, and/or electric shock, resulting in
personal injury, or death.

Owner′s Manual.
WATER HEATER SAFETY PRECAUTION
Hydrogen gas is flammable!
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water
heater that has not been used for more than two weeks. To prevent the
possibility of damage and/or injury, turn on all hot water faucets and allow
them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will
release any built-up hydrogen gas. Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do
not smoke, use an open flame or use any appliance during this process.

WARNING: A hose that
attaches to a spray wand can
burst if it is installed on the
same water line as the
dishwasher.
Preparing the Dishwasher for Use
Unpacking the Dishwasher
Use at least two people to move and install the dishwasher to prevent back and
other types of injuries. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any
shipping tape and glue from your dishwasher before using. Do not use sharp
instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove
tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your dishwasher. Check
to make sure the parts necessary for installation are included. If any parts are
missing, please contact our customer service. Put the dishwasher on a level and
flat surface that is able to support the entire weight of the dishwasher fully
loaded.
Installation Requirements
The dishwasher has been designed for a countertop installation. Please follow
the instructions for clearance, water and electrical requirements.
Clearance Requirements
The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a counter
top surface with overhead cupboards is 45cm (17.7”).
Water Requirements
Make sure the water supply/faucet connection is within reach of the inlet and
drain hose assembly (i.e., 58 cm / 22.8”). If your sink has a spray wand, it is
recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.
Water Pressure
For best results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20 pounds
per square inch (psi).
Water Temperature
For best results, the water temperature must be at least 55ºC (130ºF). To prevent
damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should
not exceed 65ºC (149ºF).
WARNING! Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from
the power cord.
3
Electrical Requirements
Read all safety precautions listed at the beginning of this manual. It is
recommended that you use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or
pull chain.
Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet) within reach of the electrical
power supply cord (195 cm / 6.3 ft).
The dishwasher is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong
grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle providing 110-120V,
60Hz, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal
responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a certified electrician. Use a circuit that is rated for 10
amps.
WARNING: Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
