Prepar,ng to Wash Dishes:
For get best 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,
Tips to avoid stains 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
deposits 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, (upper rack)
• 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,(See chart on p.18 for details.)
• Do not jam the glassware items together when
loading.
• Place delicate items on the upper rack.
(lower rack)
• 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 allows 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,

load taller wine or champagne glasses in the upper rack, simply remove the rack
and bring it to the lower position.

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 the Silverware 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.
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,
13

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
Hard
Medium
Soft
flP,g
10+
4-9
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. Detergent will not work
properly.
Note: Use only "Automatic Dishwasher Detergent" for your dishwasher,
Other types of detergents that are not for dishwasher use may cause
oversudsing and foaming, Do not use detergents that are dried, caked or
moist, These types of detergents will not dissolve properly and and will clean
effectively,
14

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.

the dial to your desire settings.
15

Checking Water Temperature:
• Your incoming water must be between at least 120°F /49°C and at most
150°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,
16

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.
Coarse Filter
Fine Filter
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)
