INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard - Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher. Failure to do so

can result in electrical shock or death.

Installation of water supply pipes or electrical outlets should be performed by qualified professionals.

Set up the dishwasher on a countertop with a minimum clearance of 17.75” to the cabinet above and so the appliance is not overhanging the edge of the countertop. Make sure that the unit is close enough to electrical and water supply for the hoses and cord to reach, and that the surface is capable of supporting the weight of the dishwasher fully loaded. Have 2 people move into position to prevent injury.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical supply should be a properly installed and grounded 3-prong outlet that meets all local codes and standards on a 10A circuit. It is recommended to use a dedicated circuit with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

WARNING: Using with an improperly grounded outlet can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a

qualified electrician or service representative if you are not sure whether the appliance is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug in any way. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WARNING: DO NOT use an extension cord or an adaptor plug with this appliance.

The dishwasher should be placed near the water supply (faucet) and a sink for draining, as well as a properly installed and grounded electrical outlet. Position the appliance in the desired location. It can be up against a wall in the back or on the sides if needed. The water inlet and drain can be set to face to the right or left as needed.

WATER CONNECTION

Your dishwasher includes a ‘Quick Connect’ assembly that includes an inlet and a drain hose. The faucet adapter must first be installed on the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher. This adapter is included inside your dishwasher and is compatible with faucets using either male (outside) or female (inside) threads on the aerator.

Please check and make sure you have all parts and locate the water inlet and drain ports on the back of the washer.

1. Screw the faucet adapter (Figure 4, h) onto or into the faucet tap, depending on the style of the faucet. Check for leaks (use Teflon tape to eliminate if necessary).

2. Connect the drain port connection side of the drain hose (Figure 4, f) to the drain port on the back of the dishwasher (Figure 4, c). Be careful not to over-tighten (to avoid damaging the threads).

3. Connect the inlet port connection side of the water inlet hose (Figure 4, d) to the inlet port on the back of the dishwasher (Figure 4, b). Be careful not to over-tighten (to avoid damaging the threads).

4. Connect the quick connect side of the drain hose (Figure 4, g) onto the longer (bottom) male connection on the quick connect (Figure 4, n).

5. Connect the quick connect side of the inlet hose (Figure 4, e) onto the shorter (top) male connection on the quick connect (Figure 4, m).

6. Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter by pulling the outer locking collar on the quick connect (Figure 4, k) down while pushing the quick connect upward onto the faucet adapter.

7. When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the locking collar. Verify the connection is secure.

8. Slowly open the hot water line and check all connections for any sign of water leakage. If leaks are located, immediately close the water supply and repair the hose connections.

NOTE: Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be

pressurized. To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, first make sure the water line is closed, and then press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect (Figure 4, j) until the flow of water stops.

WARNING: Failure to relieve water pressure before disconnecting the quick-connect from the faucet will result

in back-pressure causing the water to spray. The temperature of incoming water can be very hot and could cause severe burns and/or scalding.

WARNING: DO NOT let children disconnect the dishwasher. Close supervision of children is ALWAYS important

around the appliance.

DISCONNECTING THE WATER

1. Shut off the water supply at the faucet.

2. Relieve water pressure from the hose using the red relief release button.

3. Unplug the dishwasher by firmly grasping the plug and pulling straight out from the outlet.

4. Let water drain from water inlet hose.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water droplets that can leave spots and streaks from forming on your dishes. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The rinse aid container holds about 3.7oz (110ml).

NOTE: Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances

(Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent), as it may damage the appliance.

You can determine the amount of rinse-aid using the optical level indicator (see below). There is a Rinse-Aid Warning light on the control panel that will indicate when it needs to be filled. You should not let it get below 1/4 full.

As the rinse aid is used up the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

ADJUSTING RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. The recommended setting is “3”. If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to “4”.

Increase the setting if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

To open the Rinse-Aid dispenser, turn the cap counter-clockwise about 1/4 turn and lift out. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser carefully, to avoid overfilling. Replace the cap and turn clockwise to lock. Be sure to wipe up any spilled rinse aid.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

Dishwasher detergent is necessary to remove food from dishes and help move it out of the dishwasher. Only use detergents that are specifically made for dishwashers. Fill the detergent dispenser before the start of each wash per the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load, though more heavily soiled items may need more detergent. ALWAYS add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher to avoid it getting wet as that may prevent it from dissolving properly.

DETERGENTS

If powdered detergents that do not contain phosphate are used with hard water, white spots may appear on dishes. If this occurs, add more detergent to dishwasher for better results. Detergents that do not have chlorine may not completely remove food and spots from dishes. If this occurs, choose a wash program with a higher temperature.

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split in two basic types:

• Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic ingredients

• Concentrated, low alkaline detergents with natural enzymes

Using concentrated detergents reduces pollution, is easier on your dishes, and the normal wash programs are designed to maximize the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes, allowing a normal wash program with concentrated detergent to give the same results normally achieved using a heavy wash program.

DETERGENT TABLETS

Different brands of detergent tablets dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some tablets may not fully dissolve and therefore may not fully clean the dishes. When using tablets, be sure to use a longer wash program to ensure that the tablet dissolves and that all residual detergents are rinsed out of the dishwasher.

NOTE: Detergent tablets should only be used in models with 3-in-1 function.

FILLING DETERGENT DISPENSER

If the door to the dispenser is closed, push the release latch and it will spring open. Fill the dispenser to required level based on washing cycle.

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The smaller compartment on the left side(Figure 8, a) is for 0.50oz (15g) of detergent, and the larger compartment on the right side(Figure 8, b) holds 0.88oz (25g). Be sure to observe the manufacturers use and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging. Close the lid and press until it locks in place. If the dishes are heavily soiled, put additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber.

NOTE: See Wash Cycle Table for more information on amount of detergent to use.

NOTE: Water hardness and how soiled dishes are can vary the amount of detergent needed.

LOADING THE DISHWASHER

NOTE: DO NOT wash items that are not listed as dishwasher safe.

NOTE: Some types of glasses may become dull after a large number of washes.

NOTE: Silver and aluminum may tarnish or discolor during washing.

For best performance, follow these guidelines when loading:

1. Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soak burnt food in pans to loosen. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.

2. Place items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans etc. face down so that water will not collect in them.

3. Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off.

4. All utensils should be placed in a manner so that they cannot tip over.

5. All utensils should be placed in the way that prevents them from interfering with the spray arm during washing.

6. Items should not be inside one another, or covering other items.

7. DO NOT let large glasses touch each other. Doing so may damage them.

8. Most silverware should be placed in cutlery basket handles down.

9. Small knives and sharp objects should be placed handle up to prevent injury.

10. Large sharp objects such as long bladed knives can present a hazard, and should be placed horizontally in the rack.

11. DO NOT put small items that can fall out of the basket in the dishwasher.

12. DO NOT overload your dishwasher.

WARNING: DO NOT allow any item to stick out below the dish rack as that may interfere with the spray arm

and damage the dishwasher.

WARNING: DO NOT load any sharp objects point up. Place them point down or lay them horizontally in the rack.

ALWAYS position the dishes and cookware in a manner that will prevent them from being moved by spraying water.

END OF THE WASH CYCLE

When the wash cycle is finished, a buzzer will sound for 8 seconds. Turn the dishwasher off using the ON/OFF button, shut off the water supply, and carefully open the door. Leave the door open for about 15 minutes before handling the dishes, as they are more susceptible to breakage when hot, and to allow them to dry completely. It is normal for the inside of the dishwasher to be wet when it is done running.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

FILTER SYSTEM

The filters prevent food remnants and other objects from getting inside the pump. The filter system consists of three parts (Refer to Figure 11): a Coarse filter (a), a Fine filter (b), and a Main filter (c).

a. Coarse Filter: Larger items that could block the drain are trapped

in the coarse filter. To remove items caught by the coarse filter, first remove the Fine Filter (b), then turn it upside down and gently push on the bottom of the Coarse Filter (a) until it is released. (Refer to Figure 12.) Carefully empty filter and replace into position once clean.

NOTE: The Coarse Filter (a) should ONLY be removed if large,

potentially hazardous items are trapped. If food particles or residue are trapped, please refer to Fine Filter (b) below.

b. Fine Filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area

and prevents it from being deposited onto dishes during the wash cycle. To remove items caught by this filter, please see section entitled “Filter Assembly System” below.

c. Main Filter: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are

pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to drain.

CLEANING THE FILTER SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

For best performance and results, the filter must be cleaned regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filters after each wash cycle by rinsing the filters under running water.

NOTE: The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week

WARNING: Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

c c

Figure 11

Figure 12

Figure 13

1. Rotate the filter assembly (Figure 13, a, b and c) counterclockwise, then lift upward.

2. Remove the fine filter (Figure 13, b) and coarse filter (Figure 13, a) by carefully pushing up on the fine filter from the bottom of the main filter (Figure 13, c).

3. Remove coarse filter (Figure 13, a) from fine filter (Figure 13, b) by pushing up from the bottom on the tabs holding it to the fine filter.

4. To re-assemble and replace the filter assembly, follow above directions in reverse order.

CAUTION: Inspect the filters every time the dishwasher has been used.

WARNING: Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage

dishes and utensils.

CLEANING THE FILTER

To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a soft cleaning brush. Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.

NOTE: When cleaning the filters, DO NOT knock them against hard surfaces as that could damage them,

affecting the performance of the dishwasher.

NOTE: Hard water can adversely affect the performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also

contribute to ‘lime’ (white filmy substance) deposits and/or ‘scaling’ on the surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. It is recommended to run the washer empty and rinse the inside using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.

DISHWASHER CARE

The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. Dry thoroughly. Dishwasher exterior can be cleaned with a regular, non-abrasive multipurpose cleaner or polish wax. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Figure 14

CLEANING THE DOOR

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a warm, damp cloth. To avoid water contact between the door lock and electrical components, DO NOT use a spray cleaner of any kind.

WARNING:

• Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.

• Abrasive cleaners and some types of paper towels may scratch the finish, and should not be used.

PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING

If the dishwasher will be exposed to cold temperatures, it is necessary to take the following steps to prevent damage from freezing. After each wash cycle:

1. Turn off and unplug the dishwasher.

2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.

3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve, using a pan to catch the water.

4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.

5. Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to absorb water in sump.

NOTE: Contact a qualified service technician if frost or ice buildup prevents the dishwasher from working.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded. Grasp the middle of the spray arm and pull upwards to remove it. Wash the arms under running water and return them carefully to their place. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. If they do not, check that they have been installed correctly.

Figure 15

KEEPING YOUR DISHWASHER IN GOOD CONDITION

• After Every Wash: Turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

• Remove the Plug: Before cleaning or performing maintenance, ALWAYS remove the plug from the socket.

• No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaners: DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean the exterior or rubber

parts of the dishwasher. Only use a cloth with warm, soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surfaces of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.

• After Long Periods of No Use: It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then unplug, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

• Moving the Appliance: If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.

• Seals: Food particles that remain trapped in the seals may cause odors. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

Unsatisfactory Washing

The dishes are not clean

Dishes not loaded correctly.

Make sure dishes are loaded correctly per the “Loading the Dishwasher” section.

Unsatisfactory Washing

The dishes are not clean

Improper wash program selected.

Select a more intensive program. Refer to “Wash Cycle Table”.

Not enough detergent was dispensed.

Use more detergent, or change your detergent.

Items are blocking the path of spray arms.

Rearrange the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely.

The filter system in the base of wash cabinet is not clean or is not correctly fitted. This may cause the spray arm jets to get blocked.

Clean and/or fit the filter correctly. Clean the spray arm jets. Refer to “Dishwasher Care” section.

Glassware is cloudy

Combination of soft water and too much detergent.

Use less detergent if you have soft water and select a short cycle to wash the glassware and to get it clean. See “Wash Cycle Table”

Black or gray marks on dishes

Aluminum utensils have rubbed against dishes.

Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate the marks.

Detergent left in dispenser cups

Dishes blocking detergent cups.

Re-load the dishes properly. See the “Loading the Dishwasher” section.

Unsatisfactory Drying

The dishes are not drying

Dishes not loaded correctly.

Load the dishwasher as suggested in the directions.

Too little rinse aid.

Increase the amount of rinse aid or refill the rinse aid dispenser.

Dishes removed too soon.

DO NOT empty your dishwasher immediately after washing. Open the door slightly so that the steam can escape. Begin unloading the dishwasher only once the dishes are cool enough to touch. Empty the low basket first. This prevents water from dripping off dishes in the upper basket.

Wrong program Selection.

Short wash cycles use lower temperatures which lessen performance. Choose a longer wash program.

Using cutlery with a low-quality coating.

Water drainage is more difficult with these items. Cutlery or dishes of this type are not suitable for washing in the dishwasher.
