IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use

~To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in, on or near the dishwasher.

~Only use the dishwasher if all panels are properly in place.

~Do not tamper

with the controls.

~Do not damage, sit or stand on the door or baskets of the dishwasher. Close the door when not in use.

~Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes before using the dishwasher. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

~Be sure that all items placed in the dishwasher are "dishwasher safe". For items not labeled, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Caring for the environment

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips:

^For lowest energy consumption and the gentlest washing of china and crystal, connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.

^For fastest possible wash times, yet higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source.

^Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing.

^Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid.

^When using powder or gel detergent, reduce the amount to 2/3 of the normal amount when washing a small load.

^Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.

^For small loads select "Short".

9

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is needed to prevent spotting on dishes and glassware.

^Pour liquid rinse aid into the reservoir until it is visible on the surface of the screen.

The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 3.7 oz (110 ml).

Before using for the first time

Rinse aid indicator

When the Rinse aid indicator first comes on, there will be enough rinse aid left for 2 - 3 washes.

^The rinse aid indicator on the control panel will light when the rinse aid reservoir needs refilling.

Adjusting the dosage

The dosage selector is preset to 3. This dispenses approximately 3 ml of rinse aid per program. It can be adjusted from 1 to 6.

Use a higher setting if spots appear on dry glassware.

Use a lower setting if streaking appears on dishes or glasses.

Loading the dishwasher

,Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, grease or paint in the dishwasher.

Ash and sand do not dissolve and will be distributed throughout the inside of the dishwasher.

Wax, grease and paint will cause permanent discoloration and damage to the dishwasher.

^Scrape food from dishes before placing them in the dishwasher, rinsing is not necessary.

^Some foods contain natural dyes, e.g. carrots or tomatoes. Plastic items may discolor permanently if they come in contact with food dyes.

^All items can be placed anywhere in the baskets.

^Load dishes so that water can reach all surfaces. Do not place dishes or cutlery inside other pieces.

^Make sure that all items are securely positioned.

^Hollow items such as cups and glasses should be placed upside down in the baskets.

^To ensure good water coverage, tall, narrow and hollow items,

i.e. vases or champagne glasses, should be placed in the center of the basket rather than in the corners.

^Concave based items such as mugs or bowls, should be placed at an angle so that water does not pool.

^The spray arms must not be blocked by items that are too tall or hang through the baskets. Check clearance by manually rotating the spray arms.

^Place very small items in the cutlery tray or basket so they do not fall to the bottom of the wash cabinet.

^Food residue and spilled liquids should be cleaned from the sides of the dishwasher door. These are outside of the wash cabinet and are not cleaned by water from the spray arms.

Glassware:

There are no standard guidelines for washing glassware, when in doubt wash by hand.

When purchasing new dishes, glasses and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher safe. Only wash items marked "dishwasher safe" in the dishwasher.

If fine glassware is washed in the dishwasher select the "China & Crystal" program*. This will reduce the risk of clouding.

Silver and aluminum:

Silver or aluminum items may tarnish.

Silverware previously cleaned with a silver polish may be damp or spotted at the end of a program where water has adhered to the polish. This can be rubbed off with a soft, dry cloth. Silver that has been cleaned in an immersion dip is usually dry at the end of a program, but may tarnish.

If left to dry, foods containing sulfur can discolor silver. These include egg yolk, onions, mayonnaise, mustard, fish and marinades.

Silverware may tarnish or pit if washed next to stainless steel. Leave space between these metals.

Clean aluminum items, e.g. grease filters, with domestic dishwasher detergent only.

15

Loading the dishwasher

Cutlery tray

(depending on model)

^Arrange the cutlery as shown in the cutlery tray.

For easier unloading cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc.

Place knives with the cutting edge down and forks with the prongs between the holders. Spoons should be placed in the opposite direction with the handles between the holders so that water can run off more easily.

The upper spray arm must not be blocked by tall cutlery items.

The cutlery tray insert is removable.

Spoons with thick handles may have to be placed as knives and forks with their heads in the holders
