SET UP & USE RINSE AID DISPENSER The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets that can leave spots and streaks on your dishes. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheathe 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 the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black.
SET UP & USE ADJUSTING RINSE AID DISPENSER The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. The recommended setting is on “3”. If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number on “4”. NOTE: Increase the dose 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.

CLEANING & CARE FILTERING SYSTEM The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump. The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter). A. 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. B. Fine Filter This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during wash cycle. C.
CLEANING & CARE WARNING: Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils. STEP 1: Rotate the filter assembly(A,B and C) counterclockwise, then lift it up. C STEP 2: lift B and C up from A. B A C STEP 3: All filters should now be separated. Reverse the steps after cleaning to reinstall filters.
CLEANING & CARE CLEANING THE FILTER To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Reassemble the filter parts as shown in the figures in the previous page and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat and pressing downward. WARNING: When cleaning the filters, don’t knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the performance of dishwasher could be debased.
CLEANING & CARE 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 in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded. Grasp the middle of the spray arm, pull it upwards to remove it.
