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.
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. The dishwasher is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug.
Connecting the Dishwasher Your dishwasher comes equipped with a Faucet Adapter, Quick Connect, Drain Hose, and Inlet Hose. The Faucet Adapter must be installed on the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher. This adapter comes packaged inside your dishwasher. The Faucet Adapter is compatible with faucets inclusive of either male (outside) or female (inside) threaded faucet connections. 1. Screw the Faucet Adapter onto (or into) the faucet tap.
If your existing Faucet Adapter is not compatible with the “quick connect” hose assembly supplied, then the following procedures should be followed: • Connect the Faucet Adapter (included with dishwasher) to your faucet. • If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘female’ type (threaded) connection, both rubber washers must be installed inside the faucet adapter. • If your faucet is inclusive of a ‘male’ type (threaded) connection, use only the standard rubber washer (0.2”/5mm thick) supplied within the adapter.
Disconnecting your Dishwasher 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Close the hot water supply at the faucet. Disconnect the power supply cord. Remember to release the water pressure inside the inlet hose.

Loading the Dishwasher Basket A properly loaded dishwasher is key for optimal performance. Overfilling the dishwasher can reduce the dishwasher’s efficiency. Furthermore, improper placement of items can hinder the performance of the unit.
Cutlery Basket Silverware should be placed in the cutlery basket with handles directed toward the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, spoons should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots. Knives and other sharp utensils should be placed in the basket with handles up. Longer utensils should be placed in the horizontal position in the basket or on the cup shelf. Caution: • Do not let any item extend through the bottom of the cutlery basket. This may prevent the spray arm from spinning.
Detergent Dispenser The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly during the wash cycle. To Open the Wash Cover: Press the button and the cover will flip back revealing the detergent dispensing cups.
Rinse Aid Dispenser The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to remove spots, prevent new film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic, and improve drying time. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. Filling the Dispenser The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month.
Starting a Wash Cycle Once the dishwasher is fully loaded follow these procedures to start the wash cycle: • Ensure that the unit is connected to the power supply. • Ensure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure. • Pour in the detergent. • Verify that enough rinse aid is in the dispenser, if desired. • Close the door and press the ON/OFF button to power the dishwasher on.
Forgot to Add a Dish? A dish can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens. 1. Press the START/PAUSE button. 2. Open the door slightly to stop the washing. 3. You can open the door after the spray arms stop spinning. 4. Add remaining dishes. 5. Close the door. 6. Press the START/PAUSE button. The dishwasher will restart after 10 seconds. Completing a Wash Cycle When the selected wash cycle has finished, the buzzer of the dishwasher will sound for eight (8) seconds.
General Maintenance Cleaning the Filter System The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a main (flat) filter, and a micro (fine) filter. 1. Coarse filter: Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tab on the top of this filter and lift out. 2.
Removing the Filter System In order to remove the filter system for cleaning please follow these steps: 1. Turn the entire filter system counterclockwise and then pull upward. 2. Lift the coarse and fine filters out from the main filter. 3. Gently squeeze the tab on the coarse filter to remove it from the fine filter. Simply reverse this sequence to reinstall the filter system. Note: • Never run the dishwasher without the filter system in place.
Cleaning the Dishwasher The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher. Cleaning the Door To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm damp cloth. To prevent water into the door lock or electrical components, do not use a liquid spray or cleaner of any kind.
Protecting the Dishwasher Against Freezing Please take frost protection measures on the dishwasher in winter. Each time after washing cycles, please take the following steps: 1. Turn off the dishwasher. 2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet hose from the back of the unit. 3. Drain the water from the inlet hose and inlet port. (Use a pan to catch the water.) 4. Reconnect the water inlet hose to the inlet port. 5.
