CONNECTING THE DISHWASHER: (Refer to diagrams on page 7)
1. Remove the aerator from the faucet. Thread the Faucet Adapterwith
gasket onto (or into) the faucet tap. If leaks occur, tightenwith
vice-grips, do not over-tighten. Use thread tape if needed.
2. Connect the 6-sided connection of the drain hose (1) to the drain port
connection (1) on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. DoNOT
over-tighten (to avoid damage to the thread).
3. Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose (3) to the inlet
port (3) on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do NOTover-tighten
(to avoid damage to the thread).
4. Connect the circular connection of the drain hose onto the longer
(bottom) male connection on the quick connect(11).
5. Connect the circular connection of the inlet hose onto the shorter (top)
male connection on the quick connect (10).
6. Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter by pulling down the
outer locking collar on the quick connect while pushing the quick
connect upward onto the faucet adapter.
7. When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the
locking collar. Verify that the connection issecure.
8. Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of waterleaks
at all hose connections. If leaks are located, immediately close the
water supply and repair the hoseconnections.
IMPORTANT:
Once you open the water supply line (even if it is closed immediately
thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized. To relieve water pressure
from inside the inlet hose (make sure the water line (faucet) is off): press
and hold the red pressure release button on the quick connect until the
flow of water stops.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE BEFORE DISCONNECT-
ING THE QUICK CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET WILL RESULT IN
BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOM-
ING WATER CAN BE VERY HOT AND BACK-PRESSURE OVER-
SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Check the following before starting the dishwasher:
1. The dishwasher is level and fixed properly.
2. The inlet valve is open.
3. The hose connections on the dishwasher and faucet need to be on
tight to prevent leaking.
4. The inlet and drain hoses are notknotted.
HOW TO OPERATE
Detergent and Rinse Aid Dispensers:
TIP: If Using Detergent Tablets:
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. Some
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short
cycles. Please use long cycles when using detergent tablets.
1. Detergent Dispenser: The dispenser must be filled before the startof
each wash cycle. This dishwasher uses less detergent than a
conventional dishwasher. More heavily soiled items may need more
detergent.Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher.
WARNING! Dishwasher detergent is
corrosive. Take care to keep out of
reach of children.
•Filling the Detergent Dispenser:
Push the latch to open. Fill with detergent. Close the lid and press until
it locks in place. Please observe any manufacturer’s warnings and
storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

HOW TO OPERATE HOW TO OPERATE...cont.
2. Rinse AidDispenser:
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 water to sheet off the dishes.
Adjust Lever
The rinse aid dispenser has 4 settings. Alwaysstart
with the dispenser set on ‘1’. If spots and poor
drying occur, increase the amount of rinse aid dis-
pensed by removing the dispenser lidand
rotating the dial to the next highest number.
Rinse-Aid Indicator
•Filling the Rinse AidDispenser:
Open the cap and pour rinse-aid into the dispenser until the level
indicator turns completely black. This dishwasher uses less rinse aid
than conventional dishwashers.
NOTE: NEVER fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances
(e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This will damage
the appliance.
•Refilling the rinse aid dispenser:
You can judge the amount of rinse aid by the color of the rinse aid
indicator 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.
TIP: Dishes you shouldn’t wash in the dishwasher:
NOT Suitable
Limited Suitability
Cutlery with wood, horn, china or
mother of pearl handles
Some types of glasses can
become dull after a large number
of washes

are not heat-resistant
Decal and hand painted patterns
may fade when washed in the
dishwasher frequently
Bonded cutlery items or dishes
Pewter or copper items
Crystal
Steel items subject to rusting

LOADING THE DISHWASHER:
For best performance, follow
these loading guidelines.
1. Scrape off any large
amounts of leftoverfood.
2. Load items such as cups,
glasses, pots/pans, face
down.
3. Curved items, or those
with recesses, should be
loaded at a slant so
that water can run off.
4. All items should be placed
so that the spray arms can
rotate freely
during washing.
NOTE: As everyone’s dishes are different, try to use
10” diameter or smaller plates.

CLEANING ANDCARE
Cleaning the Filter Assembly:
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting
inside the pump. The filtering system consists of a coarse filter, a flat
(main) filter and a fine filter.
1. Main filter
2. Fine filter
3. Coarse filter
TIP: For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned
regularly. Remove the larger particles trapped in the filter after each
wash cycle.
WARNING:
NEVER RUN THE DISHWASHER WITHOUT THE FILTERS IN PLACE.
IMPROPER REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTERS MAY REDUCE THE
PERFORMANCE LEVEL OF THE APPLIANCE AND DAMAGE DISHES
AND UTENSILS.
By unscrewing the coarse filter, you can remove the filter system.
Remove any food remnants and clean the filters under running water.
Use a brush to gently clean the filters, if necessary.

CLEANING & CARE

CLEANING & CARE...cont.
Cleaning the dishwasher exterior:
The control panel exterior can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened
cloth and drying thoroughly.
WARNING:
NEVER use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may
damage the door lock and electrical components.
Abrasive agents and some paper towels should not be used
because ofthe risk of scratching or leaving spots on the surface.
NEVER use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any
part of the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Spray Arm:
The spray arm should be removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles to
prevent possible clogging. Wash it under running water and carefully
replace it, checking that its rotary movement is in no way impeded.
Grasp the middle of the spray arm, pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the
arm under a jet of running water and carefully replace it. After reassem-
bly, check that the spray arm turns freely.
TIPS: Dishwasher Maintenance:
•After every wash: Leave the door slightly open so that moisture and
odors are not trappedinside.
•Disconnect from the electrical outlet before performing cleaningor
maintenance.
•When it is not in use for a long period of time: It is recommended that
you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty.
•Moving the appliance: If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in
the vertical position.
•Seals: One of the factors that causes odors to form in the dishwasher
is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp
sponge will prevent this fromoccurring.
CLEANING & CARE...cont.
NOTE:
Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing
performance of your dishwasher.
Hard water conditions will also contribute to ‘lime’ (white film substance)
deposits and/or ‘scaling’ on the surface of the dishwasher tub and heating
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.
