WARRANTY SERVICE
GENERAL

Safety
Do not store or use flammable liquids or vapors near the dishwasher.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not
been used for a long period, before using the dishwasher turn on all
hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame.
Use only detergents recommended for use in dishwashers and
keep detergents out of reach of children.
Do not touch the heating element.
Do not sit or stand on the dishwasher racks or door.
Ensure that the dishwasher door does not remain in an open
position, to prevent accidents from happening.
When positioning the appliance, ensure the electrical cord is not
tangled or damaged.
Do not place multiple portable socket-outlets at the rear of the
appliance.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Grip the
plug firmly and pull straight out to remove from wall socket.
Do not use a damaged power cord and do not modify the plug.
Do not use an extension cord.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not climb on
or play with the appliance. Discard packaging material and keep
out of reach of children.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction.

Installation
Installation of the dishwasher should be done by a qualified
technician.
Place the dishwasher in an area where it will not be exposed
to the weather and to freezing temperatures and away from
sources of heat and high humidity.
Place the Dishwasher on a flat level surface.
Disconnect the power supply before installing the dishwasher.
Only connect the dishwasher to the power supply when all
installation and plumbing work is complete.
Never connect the ground wire to gas lines, hot water pipes or
plumbing lines.
The dishwasher must be grounded.
Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized power supply
circuit to avoid electrical overload. The dishwasher is designed
for an electrical supply of 120V, 60Hz, AC, connected to a
dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with
a fuse or breakers rated for 15 amperes. Electrical supply
conductors must be a minimum of #16 AWG copper wire rated
at 167°F (75°C) or higher.
Plug the power cord into an outlet that is installed and grounded
in accordance with local codes.
Check the plug and cable before you connect the power and make
sure it is the correct 110 voltage.
Dishwasher must be secured to adjacent cabinetry using the
brackets provided.
To ensure that the dishwasher has been correctly installed, check
for water leaks during and after the first use.

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place.
Preparation and Operation
Generally, the dishwasher is designed for cups and glasses on the
top rack; plates and pots on the bottom rack; and long serving
utensils on the very top rack.
When loading the dishwasher:
· Place sharp items so that they do not damage the door or seal.
· Place knives in the silverware basket with handles up to prevent
risk of injury.
· Ensure that items do not protrude below the racks or silverware
basket.
· Do not wash plastic items in the dishwasher unless they are
marked “Dishwasher Safe”.
Tines in the top and bottom racks can be raised or lowered
depending on the items to be placed, thereby providing maximum
flexibility. The silverware basket can also be moved from its usual
spot to adjust the space in the bottom rack.
The top rack is designed to be positioned at two levels. You can
adjust the height of the rack by moving it on either the upper rail or
the lower rail.
Hold the top rack on the sides and lift up slightly and then push
down to the desired height. Ensure that the rack locks in place.
Ensure that the Upper and Lower Spray Arms can spin freely
without hitting obstructions.
Push the racks all the way in, ensuring the blue End Clips on the
rails are locked.

Add rinse aid into the smaller dispenser. This needs to be done
only periodically and not before every wash cycle. The rinse aid

Press the Power Button located at the far right on the
Control Panel.
