3. BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME A. Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser Rinse Aid Dispenser Rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. Using rinse aid also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser.
Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser The rinse aid dispenser has 4 settings. The recommended setting is “3”. If dishes are still not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number, “4”. Adjust lever (Rinse) MAX NOTE: Increase the amount of rinse aid if there are still water droplets on your dishes. Reduce the amount of rinse aid if there are white stains on your dishes or if there is a bluish film on glassware or cutlery. B.
Detergent Dispenser The detergent dispenser must be refilled prior to the start of each wash cycle. This dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent will be required for a normal wash load. For more heavily soiled dishes, use more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it will not dissolve properly.
4. LOADING THE DISHWASHER BASKET Recommendations • Use utensils that are dishwasher safe. • Use a mild detergent that is “kind to dishes.” Seek further information from the detergent manufacturer if necessary. • For delicate items, use a washing program with a low temperature. • To prevent damage, do not remove glass or cutlery from the dishwasher immediately after the wash cycle has ended.
• • • • • • Dishes and cutlery should lie inside one another or cover each other. Glasses should not touch, as this can cause damage. Load large, difficult to clean items into the basket. Knives with long blades should not be stored in an upright position. Long and/or sharp items and cutlery should be positioned horizontally in the basket. Do not overload the dishwasher. This is important for optimal results and for energy conservation.
The Cutlery Basket Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, spoons should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots. Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper basket as shown.
5. Starting a Wash Cycle Wash Cycle Table Note: • Indicates that you will need to fill rinse aid dispenser • *AHAM DW-1-2005: This program is the test cycle; the recommended rinse aid dispenser setting is 6. Program Heavy Normal *(AHAM) Light Speed Soak Cycle Selection Information For extremely soiled loads including pots, pans and dishes with food that has dried and hardened. For normally soiled loads including plates, glassware and lightly soiled pans.
Changing Wash Cycles If the dishwasher has only been running for a short period of time, you can change the wash cycle. However, if the machine has run long enough that the detergent has already been released, it is also possible that the wash water has already been drained. In this case, you will need to refill the detergent dispenser and then choose the appropriate cycle. See section “Using Detergent.” Press the Start/Reset button and hold for three seconds.
6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Filtering System The filter is designed to prevent stray pieces of food and small objects from getting inside the pump. 1. Main Filter Food and soil particles trapped by the main filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down the drain. 2. Fine Filter The fine filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area to prevent it from being redeposited on dishes during the wash cycle. 3.
Remember: • Inspect all filters before every cycle to ensure there are no food particles. • By unscrewing the coarse filter, the entire filter assembly can be removed. Always remove food remnants and clean the filters by placing them under running water. NOTE: The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week. Cleaning the Filter Use a cleaning brush to clean both the coarse filter and the fine filter.
Cleaning the Spray Arms You can easily remove the spray arms to for periodically cleaning the nozzles. This will prevent possible clogging. To remove a spray arm, simply grasp in the middle and pull upwards. Wash nozzles by placing under a stream of running water. Carefully replace them, making sure that they can rotate freely.
