7. INSTALLATION AND ACCESSORY PARTS
7.1 Position the Appliance
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest
against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or
wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that
can be positioned on the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.
7.2 Leveling the Appliance
Once the appliance is positioned, adjust the feet (screw them in or out) to
adjust the dishwasher, making it level. In any case, the appliance should not
be inclined more than 2°. If the appliance is level, it will help ensure proper
performance.

12
7.3 Drain Hose Connection
Insert the drain hose into a drainpipe with a minimum diameter of 1.57
inch ,or let it run into the sink, making sure to avoid bending or
crimping it. Use the special plastic support that comes with the
appliance (see Fig.2). The free end of the hose must be at a height
between 15.7 and 39.37 inches and must not be immersed in water.
7. 4 Electrical Connection
After making sure that the voltage and frequency values for the current in
the home correspond to those on the rating plate (located on the stainless
steel inner door of the appliance) and that the electrical system is correct
for the maximum voltage on the rating plate, insert the plug into an
electrical socket which is earthed properly (the earthing of the appliance is
a safety requirement mandated by law). If the electrical socket to which
the appliance must be connected is not appropriate for the plug, replace
the plug, rather than using adaptors or the like as they could cause
overheating and burns.

refill rinse aid at this time.
 Door Latch
To lock the door, push the door with light
force until you hear the "Click."
To unlock the door, squeeze the door latch
and pull towards you.
 Preparing to Wash Dishes
To get a good results, practice the following
before you put dishware in the dishwasher:
Discard big chunks of food from the plate
before loading.
Remove sticky foods and loosen burned-on
foods before loading. Empty liquids such as
juice, soup, soda, coffee or tea from glasses
and cups before loading.
Rinse off acid based liquid, such as vinegar
or lemon juice right a way. Failure to do so
may cause discoloration to plates, food containers or internal cabinet.
Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before you start washing
items.

15
 Tips to avoid stain and films
The following suggestions are recommended to prevent stains and films
on dishware and utensils items:
You must rinse all dishware, silverware, glassware and food containers
immediately after use. Some citric based food products, coffee, tea and
iron deposit in water can cause yellow or brown film to form on the inside
surface it left on for a long time or if rinsed immediately.
You must check your water hardness to see whether you need to use
more or less detergent to wash. If water is extremely hard, then it may
be causing stains on items. You may need to use a water softener.
Do not overload the dishwasher.
Avoid improper loading.
Be sure to use the recommended water temperature to wash dishware.
Do not use too little detergent.
Do not use old or damp powder detergent.
Do not load aluminum utensils improperly. Aluminum utensils can cause
gray or black marks to appear on porcelain utensils if they are touching
during wash cycle.
 Loading the Lower & Upper Rack
To get maximum cleaning results, follow the
recommendations below before you start the
dishwasher:
Note: Do not wash any heat sensitive or any
other items that are not designed for automatic
dishwashers.
Keep all tall dishware and food containers away
from the spray arm rotation.
Place food containers such as cups, glasses, bowls, saucepans and
casserole dishes with soiled surface facing in the downward position.
To avoid any type of damage to glassware such as coffee/tea cups,
beverage, wine and champagne glasses, do not load them on the
bottom rack. Place these items on the upper
rack. Put cups upside down on the top of the
cup/stemware rack and put wine or champagne
glasses upside down between the divided
segments of the cup/stemware rack to secure
them properly. Do not load dishware or food
containers that are made of wood or iron. These
items are not considered dishwasher safe. Do
not jam the glassware items together when
loading.
Place delicate items on the upper rack.

16
Do not load tall dishware or cookware items near the middle spray arm.
Move racks slowly in and out to avoid slamming the dishware items
together.
Make sure all dishware and glassware items are securely in place when
loading to avoid falling over or striking against each other.
 Adjustable Upper Rack System
The upper rack has two positions, which allow you to modify the rack
system according to your current space needs. The flexibility of the
upper rack is ideal for washing tall dishware and glassware items.
For Example: Adjusting the Rack to the Lower Position gives you the
flexibility to load taller wine or champagne glasses in the upper rack,
simply remove the rack and bring it to the lower position.
For Example: Adjusting the Rack to Upper Position gives you the
flexibility to load tall dishes on the lower rack.
Steps to Remove the Rack
1) Open both sides of the rail guards from the upper rack.
2) Slide the rack out.
3) Place the rack to your desired position.
4) Close both sides of the rail guards so rack will not slide out.
 Loading Split Silverware Basket
Your dishwasher has a removable split basket with two compartments
that can be separated to give you loading flexibility in order to
accommodate flatware and lower rack capacity needs. This option saves
space when only half the unit is needed.
Simply remove the basket from the dishwasher to load silverware and
place it back once you finish loading.
 Steps to Split Silver Basket
1) Put your right hand in right side of the basket
and your left hand in the left side of the basket.
2) Simply slide the basket with light force to
unlock/split by pushing it forward and pulling it
towards you until you see that both hooks come
out of the elongated holes in the middle.
Note: Do not use heavy force to split the basket
because this may cause damage to plastic hooks to
break off.

17
3) To put both halves together again, use both hands to level the split
baskets and sliding each hook into each elongated hole on both sides.
Now, slide with light force to attach/lock by pushing it forward and
pulling it towards you until both baskets snaps in easily.
To avoid any type of injury, load knives and forks face down. Try to mix
spoons, knives and forks for better cleaning and drying and to prevent
nesting.
Do not mix stainless steel and silver items because
you may damage the silver finish on silver items.
Do not load tall items next to the upper spray arm
because it may block the rotation.
Do not load tin, pewter and non-dishware filters.
These items are not considered dishwasher safe.
 Proper Use of Detergent:
The amount of detergent to use depends on the type of water in your
living area whether it is hard or soft and whether items are lightly or
heavily soiled.
Water softness or hardness is measured in grains content per gallon
(gpg). You can find out the gpg level by calling your local Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in your county.
If you find that the gpg level is higher in the water, then the water will
be harder in your living area. You will need more detergent to clean. If
gpg level is lower, then the water will be softer in your living area so you
will need less detergent to clean.
See the following table to understand the "water hardness type" and gpg
level.
Water Hardness Type Gpg
Hard 10+
Medium 4-9
Soft 0-3
Note: If gpg level is over 12, then water is very hard. You may need
water softener to improve the water quality and the performance of
your dishwashing.
Note: The quality of the detergent will make a big difference in the
cleaning of dishes. Detergent that is damp or too old will not be as
effective to clean because the active ingredients will be phased off. The
detergent will then not work properly.

18
Note: Use only "Automatic Dishwasher Detergent" for your dishwasher.
Other types of detergents that are not for dishwasher use may cause
overusing and foaming. Do not use detergents that are dried, caked or
moist. These types of detergents will not dissolve properly and will not
clean effectively.
 Pouring Dishwasher Detergent
Use the recommended amount of detergent for your wash loads.
Measure and pour the detergent into the large compartment for the
main wash. The detergent for the pre-wash goes into the small
compartment next to the main wash compartment.
Note: For the pre-wash you should use one-half the amount of
detergent that you use for the main wash.
We recommend that you use a Rinse Agent to help remove spots and
prevent new film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware
and plastic.
Note: Use only a liquid form of rinse agent in the dispenser
 Pouring Liquid Rinse Agent into the Dispenser
Use the recommended amount of rinse agent for your wash loads. The
rinse agent dispenser is located next to the detergent dispenser. During
the wash cycle, it automatically releases a preset amount of rinse agent
during the last rinse cycle.
When the dispenser is full, the see through rinse agent level indicator
will be dark.
When it is empty, it will be clear which means you need to pour in more.

19
Note: A full dispenser should last approximately one month.
If you want to adjust the amount of rinse agent dispensed, the
dispenser has 1 to 6 levels that you can adjust to. Simply rotate the dial
to your desire settings.
 Checking Water Temperature
• Your incoming water must be between at least 120°F / 49°C and at
most 151°F / 66°C in order to clean effectively and prevent damage to
your dishware.
Note: The minimum incoming temperature must be at 120°F/49°C in
order for the detergent to dissolve properly.
If you are unsure of the temperature of your hot water:
1. Simply open the hot water faucet and let it run for a minute and fill a
glass.
2. Take a thermometer and check the temperature of the water.
3. If the temperature is below 120°F / 49°C, then you need to adjust
the water temperature on your water heater in order to maintain that
temperature level.
 Overflowing Protection:
• In case the water level is rising above the highest acceptable point,
the security pressure switch will activate the drain pump automatically.
 The Filtration System
For your convenience, the three level filtration system is conveniently
located inside the dishwasher tub beneath the lower rack and consists of
a Main Filter, Coarse Filter and Fine Filter.

20
Main Filter: The purpose of this filter is to trap food and soil particles.
Coarse Filter: The purpose of this filter is to trap large items such as
pieces of bone or glass that might clog the drain (attached to main filter).
Fine Filter: The purpose of this filter is to trap and hold tiny soil and
food residue and prevent it from being re-deposited on the dishes
during a cycle.
Warning: Never run your dishwasher without the filters in place.
Failure to do so may cause drain blockage and pump damage.
 Wash Selector Knob
When selecting a wash cycle, turn the knob "CLOCKWISE" to your
desired setting by matching the knob "Pointer" symbol to the cycle "dot"
symbol. Once both are lined up, press "Power" button to begin the wash
process. (You will hear "Click" and the wash cycle will start
automatically.) A "lick" will signify the automatic start at the wash cycle.
Warning: The wash selector knob is designed to work only in a
clockwise direction. DO NOT turn the knob "COUNTER
CLOCKWISE." Turning in a counter clockwise direction may
cause damage to the wash selector.
Selecting Wash Cycles Select the appropriate cycle based on the load
