Installation Instructions x Remove all packaging materials carefully. x The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level surface. x If your sink has a spray wand, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged. A hose that attaches to a spray wand can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. • The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a counter top surface with overhead cupboards is 45cm (17.7”).
• Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leakage at all hose connections. If leaks are located, immediately close the water supply and repair the hose connections. 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.
Disconnecting your Dishwasher • Close the hot water supply at the faucet. • Disconnect the power supply cord. • Remember to release the water pressure inside the inlet hose. x The inlet hose is pressured when the water supply line is opened, even if closed immediately. x To release pressure: press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick-connect assembly until the flow of water stops.

Properly Loading the Dishwasher 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. This unit is optimized for holding 6 place settings including: x 6 cups x 6 bowls x 6 large plates x 6 small plates x 6 dessert plates x 2 serving dishes x 6 sets of cutlery Position the dishes and cookware so they are secure during the wash cycle.
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 on the cup shelf instead of in the basket.
Only Use Proper Detergent Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Do not put powder detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent to alleviate the deposits that are left by the excessive minerals. Less detergent is needed for soft water. To identify whether your water is hard or soft, contact your water department.
NOTE: DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents. Since so many detergent containers look similar, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher where the correct detergent is stored.
Use Jet-Dry Rinse Agent Jet-Dry rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. Filling the Dispenser The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill. 1.Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. 2.Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out. 3.Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full. 4.
Starting the Wash Cycle Once the dishwasher is fully loaded follow these procedures to start the wash cycle: x Ensure that the unit is connected to the power supply. x Ensure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure . x Pour in the detergent x Press the ON/OFF switch to power the dishwasher on. x Rotate the knob to the desired cycle.

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. At the End of the Wash Cycle When the selected wash cycle has finished, the buzzer of the dishwasher will sound for 8 seconds.
Maintenance Filter System The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) And a micro filter (Fine filter). Main Filter Fine Filter Coarse Filter 1. 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. 2. Fine filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the cylindrical base and prevents the soil from being redeposited on the dishes during wash cycle. 3.
Step1: Rotate the fine filter counter-clockwise; Step2: lift it up; Step3: lift the Main filter up NOTE: Reverse the steps above to install the filter system.
