IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Please READ

and SAVE this information

WARNING

Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way

not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or

non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using

only original equipment factory replacement parts.

Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is

incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher

covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the

dishwasher has been properly grounded.

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing products can damage

your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

NOTICE

Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for

the possible damages or consequences.

It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incom-

ing water supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instruc-

tions or contact your installer for more information.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

1 This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and

understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2 This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding ter-

minal or lead on the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for

more information on electrical requirements.

3 Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware

and kitchenware.

4 Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of

the reach of children.

5 When loading items to be washed:

• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.

• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-

type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.

For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.

• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.

6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

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

8 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the par-

ents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

9 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. Before using a dishwasher that is con-

nected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water

faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated

hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

10 Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for

service or discarding.

11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or

under the dishwasher.

12 Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to

the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

13 For a cord-connect appliance:

• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, ground-

ing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for elec-

tric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet

that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of elec-

tric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in

doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided

with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a quali-

fied electrician.

Dishwasher Setup

Water Softening System

Your dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results

and is equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if

you have a household water softening system, the internal system pro-

vided is not needed.

For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use

the dishwasher water softening salt. The amount of salt dispensed can

be set from “H:00” to “H:07”. Salt is not required at H:00 (this is the

default factory setting). The amount of salt required depends on the

degree of hardness of your tap water. See Table 1.

1 Open the door and turn the unit on using the [ON/OFF] button.

2 Hold down the “A” button (see page 4) and press [START] until

the display indicates “H:00”.

3 Release both buttons.

4 Press the “C” button to select the desired setting.

5 Save the selected setting by pressing [START] and close the door.

Using the water hardness test strip

Salt

Refill the salt container, using a funnel to pour, right before turning on the unit

to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This prevents corro-

sion. See Figure 1.

1 Open the screw cap of the salt container.

2 Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for the

first time).

3 Add dishwasher salt until the was is displaced and runs out.

4 Refill with salt as soon as the salt refill indicator is lit.

Warning: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water

softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately begin any cycle.

Note: Refill salt only when the “Refill Salt” LED or the salt refill symbol is lit (model dependent).

Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.

For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service.

Dip the test strip into tap water for a second. Shake

off excess water and wait approximately 1 minute

before comparing results.

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.

Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in

your dishwasher.

The dishwasher uses less water, therefore, less detergent is required. With

soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The

detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent (Figure 2) to 1

tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of

detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of

detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to

get your kitchenware clean.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to mea-

sure the amount of detergent recommended in Table 2.

To Close:

• Place finger as shown in Figure 3.

• Slide door closed and press down firmly until it clicks.

To Open:

• To open the cover, push the button as shown in Figure 4.

• Cover will slide open.

Rinse Aid

To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your detergent contains a rinse aid or

drying additive.

Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the Refill Rinse Aid LED or symbol

in the display.

If this light is on, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser by following the

directions below.

Adding Rinse Aid

Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until the reservoir is full (see Figure 5).

Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may puddle when the dispenser reservoir is

full. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door

is shut. See page 13 for how to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed.

Dishwasher Cycles and Options

Wash Cycles (model dependent)

Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking.

Auto: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for use with mixed loads of dishware

with varying amounts of food soil. This is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice for everyday use.

Normal: Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes.

Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle will all available options turned off. As prescribed

in the energy test procedure, the unit was tested without any Rinse Aid in the Rinse Aid dispenser. A single dose of

detergent was used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent used in the prewash. The test was conducted with

the upper rack in the highest position.

Delicate: For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware or other special items. Always make sure that

the items are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section of this manual for further informa-

tion. Hand washing may be the best treatment for such items.

Express: Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and

dessert dishware that may need to be reused at the same event.

Glass Care (model dependent): A cycle for lightly soiled dishes, ideal for temperature sensitive items or

cutlery. In this cycle the temperature is reduced to help prevent dishes from becoming damaged. It is

especially helpful to reduce a cloudy or etched appearance on glasses.

Note: Some glasses are more prone to etching due to glass manufacturing processes.

Wash Cycle Options

Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours.

Eco Option (model dependent): Lowers temperature and cycle length to decrease energy usage.

Extra Wash (model dependent): This cycle option can be selected to increase wash performance with

more water used in extra sequences and at higher temperatures.

Half Load Option: In the Heavy, Auto, Normal, Delicate and Glass Care wash cycles, the Half Load option can

reduce the energy and water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half

of the dishwasher’s capacity. To activate, select the Half Load button in addition to any of the three cycles

listed above.

Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. Press the “Sanitize Option”

button to activate the Sanitation features during the Auto and Normal cycles. The Sanitize symbol

or LED will always be on when running a Heavy cycle. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the

drying results.

Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto Wash when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize option

in your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.

Wash Cycle Information

The cycle times in this Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.

Note: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is

no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles have passed sanitization performance tests.

Care and Maintenance

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and

prevents future problems.

Overall condition of the machine

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is

not liable for any consequential damage.

Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a

small amount of liquid soap is adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough

surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.

Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge

cloths.

Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris

that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stain-

less steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly.

Filters

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a micro fil-

ter. The filters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the

pump. Foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.

Check the filters for residue by:

• Unscrew the filter cylinder as illustrated in Figure 15-16 and take out the

filter system.

• Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.

• Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow

marks are facing each other after locking it into place.

Spray Arms

Check spray arms for grease and limescale deposits.

If you find such deposits:

• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent and start the appliance without

utensils in the cycle with the highest rinsing temperature (see wash cycle

information table).

• Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are par-

ticularly suitable for use with dishwashers.

• Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in Figure 17.

Waste water pump

Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the filters may

block the waste water pump. the rinsing water does not get pumped out

and covers the filters.

In this case:

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

• Remove the filters.

• Scoop out standing water - use a sponge if necessary.

• Using a spoon, pry off the pump cover (see Figure 18-19) until it clicks,

then grip the cover and pull upward until it resists and then pull forward.

• Check inner compartment and remove any foreign objects.

• Place cover in the original position, press down and engage.

• Reinstall filters.
