This manual does not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Some situations may arise where use of common sense and caution should always be used when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. WARNING! Before using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following: ← Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. ← Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read the Installation Instructions for details.
DISHWASHER FEATURES Your new dishwasher features our EuroStyle™ wash system. This means that after the prewash, the water is drained out and the main wash starts with clean water. If you plan to start your dishwasher right away, it’s not necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need to scrape off the large particles of food before loading. NOTE: Deviations in features may occur, depending on the model.
Read these instructions carefully and completely before you install the machine. The installation should be carried out by a qualified person who is familiar with all local codes and ordinances for electrical and plumbing connections. If a dishwasher is being installed in this area for the first time, most of the cabinet work, plumbing, and electrical has to be done before you move the machine into place.
CABINET OPENING DIMENSIONS The electrical and water supplies should enter through the area indicated by the shading on the illustration at right. They should come through the right side of the machine, a maximum of 2” (50 mm) from the back wall and 6-1/4” to 8-1/4” (159–210 mm) from the floor, depending on the underneath cabinet height.
ENGLISH ADJUSTING THE LEVELING LEGS You should adjust the levelling legs to within 1/8” of the opening height. The four leveling legs should be adjusted by unscrewing the leg out to the length required. When the feet are properly adjusted, tighten the locking nuts to the base pan. (The machine may have an inclination of 2° maximum without affecting its performance.) WARNING! Levelling leg Never lay the dishwasher on its front or side. When necessary, lay the unit on its back.
FASTENING THE DISHWASHER TO THE CABINET It’s necessary to fasten the dishwasher to the cabinet so it won’t tilt when the door is opened or if something heavy is placed on the door. Use only the screws provided with the machine. The dishwasher can be fastened to the cabinet on the top, at the sides, or both, depending on the type of installation. STANDARD CABINET INSTALLATIONS For a standard cabinet and ADA installations, you should mount the dishwasher at the top.

ENGLISH ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The dishwasher comes with an electrical cord for 110– 120 volts, 15 amp supplied. This cord should be plugged into the 110-120 volt outlet under the sink. If the cord is not long enough, or if a hard-wire installation is needed, see “Connecting An Electrical Cable” below. WARNING! Do not use an extension cord for this appliance.
CONNECTING AN ELECTRIC CABLE If the cord is not long enough, or if a hard-wire installation is needed, follow the steps below to complete the electrical connection. WARNING! Before working on wiring for any electrical appliance, be sure the electrical power has been turned off at the breaker/fuse box. Toe kick bracket 1. Remove the access panel by first removing the two Phillips screws that secure the panel to the unit. Opening the dishwasher door may make it easier to get access to these screws. 2.
ENGLISH FITTING THE EDW294E ONE-PIECE CUSTOM DOOR PANEL Model EDW294E can only be installed with a one-piece custom door panel that extends from the toe kick to the counter top. The unit comes with everything needed to make installing the door panel easy. The door is predrilled for the panel’s mounting screws. To order a one-piece door, contact your dealer.
BUILDING A CUSTOM WOOD DOOR PANEL FOR MODEL EDW294E If you prefer, you can build a custom wood door panel for this model to match the cabinets. CUSTOM WOOD PANEL DIMENSIONS Width: Height: 23-3/8” (595 mm) 28-1/4 min. to 30-1/16” max. (718 mm–764 mm) (Measured from the top of the panel to the lower edge of the kitchen cabinet.) Thickness: 1/4” (6 mm) minimum to 3/4” (19 mm) maximum Weight: Up to 22 lb. NOTE: Screws for mounting custom wood panels less than 3/4” are not supplied with the unit.
ENGLISH WOOD PANELS THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE DISHWASHER DOOR (23-1/4”) If the custom panel is the same height as the dishwasher door, a 2” decorative fill strip or pull-out cutting board must be used to fill the area between the panel and the counter top (as illustrated at right). INSTALLING A CUSTOM WOOD PANEL To install the custom wood panel, follow the steps below. 1. Attach the handle (A) to the wood panel. (It is best to use a handle instead of a knob.) 2.
LOADING THE DISHWASHER LOADING THE UPPER BASKET The upper basket holds small and medium-sized items, such as glasses, cups, saucers, bowls and small plates, as illustrated below. To make loading and unloading easier, the upper basket can be pulled out all the way. Careful arrangement of the dishes will ensure optimal cleaning. It is best not to load items atop one another because it could prevent water from spraying over the whole surface of the items.
Load larger items in the lower basket, such as, dinner plates, pots and pans, serving dishes, and casseroles. Be sure to load dishware facing downward or toward the center of the dishwasher. LA2505-110/1 LA2505-112/1 When loading tall items in the lower basket, make sure the upper spray arm turns freely. NOTE: Be careful not to position items so close to the door that they could prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
DETERGENT DISPENSER The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are on the inside of the dishwasher door. The prewash detergent goes here. If the detergent dispenser is not open, push the small lever at the top, as illustrated. There are two compartments. The one marked “15” holds about one tablespoon of detergent. This compartment should generally be filled for lightly soiled wash loads. The compartment marked “25” holds about one and one-half tablespoon of detergent.
ENGLISH RECOMMENDED DETERGENT AMOUNTS BASED ON WATER HARDNESS WATER HARDNESS DETERGENT AMOUNTS Soft (0-3 grains per gallon) Prewash Main wash 1 teaspoon 1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons Medium (4-8 grains per gallon) Prewash Main wash 1 teaspoon 1 to 2 tablespoons Hard (9+ grains*) Prewash Main wash 1 teaspoon 2 to 3 tablespoons NOTE: We recommend that you do not add prewash detergent for the Quick or Light wash programs.
RINSE AID DISPENSER Eurotech dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids in hard water areas. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to “sheet” off the dishes. To fill the rinse aid dispenser, follow the steps below. 1.

The interior of your Eurotech dishwasher is made of surgical quality stainless steel that has been electropolished to make it the smoothest surface available. The smooth surface prohibits the accumulation of dirt and bacteria inside the unit. If the water in your area is especially hard, however, lime deposits could form inside the machine. If this happens, you can remove them by putting two tablespoons of citric acid in the detergent compartment and running a Normal program.
CLEANING THE WATER INLET FILTER In hard water areas, a chemical buildup may form on the water inlet filter. To clean this filter, remove it from the inlet hose and clean it with warm water and a soft brush. OVERFILL PROTECTION Your Eurotech dishwasher has an overfill protection device that automatically shuts off the inlet valve and starts the drain pump if the water level in the unit should rise above the normal level. If this happens, turn the water off at the main supply and call for service.
As with any new appliance, it sometimes takes using it a few times to learn to operate it properly. If you are having minor performance problems with your dishwasher, read this section before calling for service. It may save you time and unnecessary expense. Poor washing performance ← The dishes may not be loaded properly. Make sure that soiled surfaces are facing downward or toward the center of the dishwasher. Also, make sure that the bowls, pots, etc.
Etching If you have a cloudy film on your dishes that can’t be removed, it could be etching. To prevent etching, try the following: ← Use less detergent. You may be using too much for the water hardness in your area. (See page 19.) ← Use a good quality dishwasher detergent. ← Do not overload the machine. Water should circulate freely to ensure adequate rinsing and draining. ← Fill the rinse aid dispenser (unless you have soft water in your area; in which case you may not need a rinse aid.) (See page 20.
← Make sure that the cycle was complete before you opened the dishwasher. If not, allow it to complete and check again. ← Some water left in the sump area near the drain is normal. ← If the plumbing code in your area requires an air gap, make sure that it isn’t blocked or plugged. ← If the unit is connected to a garbage disposer, make sure the disposer is empty. ← If water backs up into the sink, check the garbage disposer and trap for blockage. ← Check the dishwasher filters and drain area for blockage.
WASHING SPECIAL ITEMS Most common dishware items can be safely washed in an automatic dishwasher. If you have any doubts about a particular item, check with the manufacturer to see if it is dishwasher safe. If that isn’t possible, you might wash one item of a set a few times and compare it to the rest of the set to determine if washing it in the dishwasher had any affect on it. NOTE: Eurotech has no control over what is put in our dishwashers once installed in a customer’s home.
