Water Heater Safety
Under certain conditions hydrogen may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two
weeks or more. Hydrogen gas isexplosive.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by
turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any
electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any
built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or
appliance during this process.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

attempt to drain the water. If the overflow stops and the system drains the water the “F1” will disappear.
If the system cannot stop the overflow condition,turnoff themain water supplybeforecalling a servicer. If there
is water in the base pan because of an overfill or small leak, the water should be removed using a a sponge
before restarting thedishwasher.
WATER CUT OFF - WARNING

machine cannot operate normally, the machine will return to normal working mode after 8 seconds once the
power has returned and if the internal temperature of the unit is above 113ºF.

10
DETERGENT DISPENSER
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the
“Wash Cycle Table”. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers.
Generally, only one teaspoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load, heavily soiled items may need
more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could become damp
and not dissolveproperly.
Amount of Detergent to Use
IF THE WATER IN YOUR AREA IS NOT TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF
DEPOSITS BY DETERGENT
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in the water hardness of your area. To determine
the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder
the water, the more detergent you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use
by small amounts until you find the correctamount.
Proper Use Of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwasher. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.Don’t put
powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to washdishes.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
• Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse-aid dispenser is located on the door next to the
detergent dispenser. Fill the rinse-aid dispenser until the maximum level (approximately 150ml of liquid rinse-
aid). Be sure not to overfill the dispenser as this will cause over-sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
Keep in mind that if you have soft water, you may not need to use a rinse-aid as it may cause a white film to
develop on your dishes.
• To open the dispenser, lift up the Rinse Aid reservoir cover as shown below.
• Pour the rinse-aid into the dispenser, being careful not tooverfill.
• Replace the cover after filling.
• 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 the water to “sheet” off the dishes.

11
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent, the amount of rinse aid
needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in
lather of foaming and cause cloudiness or streaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is verysoft, you may
not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.
When To Refill The Rinse AidDispenser
Refill the Rinse Aid reservoir when the Rinse Aid indicator light on the control panel is illuminated.
How to load your dishwasher
For best results, follow these loading guidelines.
Recommendations : Remove any coarse residue on dishes before placing the dishes in the machine. Start the
machine with full load.
Do not overload the drawers or place dishes in the wrong basket.
WARNING: Always place sharp utensils with the sharp point down and open utensils with their openings down.
How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and teacups and
saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty). Position the dishes and
cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray ofwater.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by putting wheels at different height intothe rails.
Caution: Make sure that the rack is empty. Changing the height setting while the rack contains tableware could
cause the contents to dislodge, causing personal injury or damage to the tableware.
1) Release the latches on both the right and left tracks of the upper rack by turning them toward the outside
(illustration A).
2) Pull out the rack completely. (illustration B).
3) Place the rack into the track again at the desired height (illustration C).
4) Push the latches back into the correct position.
How To Use The Lower Rack
We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower rack: pots, pans, lids,
serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figurebelow.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the
top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed topdown. Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flowout.
The bottom rack features fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

12
Silverware Basket
Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with handles at the bottom: if the rack has side baskets, the
spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the
horizontal position at the front of the upperrack.
Caring And Maintenance
To clean the control panel use a lightly dampened cloth then dry thoroughly. To clean the exterior use a good
appliance polish wax.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of thedishwasher.
Protect against freezing
If your dishwasher is to be left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technicianto:
1. Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or tip circuitbreaker.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch thewater.)
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the watervalve.
5. Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub at the bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in the rubber
boot.
Cleaning The Spray Arms
It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly or hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm
jets and bearings. To remove the spray arm, pull the nut out by hand in an upward direction.
Wash the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them
after rinsing them thoroughly.
Filtering System
For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub. There
are three components of the filtering system: the coarse filter, the fine filter, and the main filter.
1. Coarse Filter
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove
an item caught in this filter, gently turn the top of the Coarse filter in a counter-clockwise direction and liftitout.
2. Fine Filter
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being re-deposited on the dishes
during a cycle.
3. Main Filter
Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet onthe lower spray arm
and washed down thedrain.
Cleaning The Filter assembly
Turn the Coarse filter in a counter-clockwise direction.
1. Lift the Coarse filter (b) together with the Fine Filter(a)
2. Separate the Fine filter by lifting it out from the Course
Filter (b).
3. Lift out the out the Main filter (c).
To replace the filter assembly follow the same steps inreverse.
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be
cleaned.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.
Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance
level of the appliance and damage dishes andutensils.
WARNIING – Never run the dishwasher without the filters in
place.

13
Cleaning The Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent
penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner
of any kind.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will
scratch the finish. Some paper towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
WARNING - Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and
electrical components. It is not allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the
risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
How To Keep You Dishwasher In Shape
After every wash
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that
moisture and odors are not trappedinside.
No solvents or abrasive cleaningproducts
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of
the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made
specifically for dishwashers.
When you go onHoliday
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and
them remove the plug from the AC socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance
slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within theappliance.
Seals
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this fromoccurring.
