Page 11
SET UP & USE
IMPORTANT!
1. Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter),
the inlet hose will be pressurized.
2. To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, (make sure the water line
(faucet) is closed): press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick
connect until the flow of water stops.
WARNING
FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE QUICK-
CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY.
THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMING WATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-
PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.
DANGER
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION
OF CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.
NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely aect the washing performance of
your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to ‘lime’ (white
film substance) deposits and/or ‘scaling’ on the stainless steel surface of
the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath
the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is
recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher
(empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.

RINSE AID DISPENSER
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets
that can leave spots and streaks on your dishes. It also improves drying by allowing
water to sheathe o the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To
fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level
indicator turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.
FUNCTION OF RINSE AID
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and
spot and streak free drying.
ATTENTION!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with
any other substances. (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would
damage the appliance.
WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount
of rinse-aid by the color of the optical level indicator “C” located next to the cap.
When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark .As the rinse-aid
diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get
below 1 / 4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator
changes, as illustrated below.
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the
closed (right) arrow.

Page 15
SET UP & USE
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the “open” (left) arrow and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the
closed (right) arrow.
NOTE: Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid
excessive foaming during the next wash. Don’t forget to replace the cap
before you close dishwasher door.
ADJUSTING RINSE AID DISPENSER
The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. The recommended setting is on “3”. If the
dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher
number on “4”.
NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after
washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish
film on glassware or knife blades.
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 then conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of
detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need
more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher,
otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Page 16
SET UP & USE
AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE
NOTE: If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
FILL IN DETERGENT
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels,
as illustrated on right:
A: The dispenser can load 1/2 teaspoon of detergent.
B: The dispenser can load 1 tablespoon of detergent.
Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage recommendations as stated
on the detergent packaging.
Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash
detergent chamber. This detergent will take eect during the pre-wash phase.
