TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC HAZARD, AND INJURY TO PERSONS, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

7
Position your dishwasher in your desired location with its back resting against a wall and the sides adjacent
to cabinets or walls. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned
to the right or the left of it to facilitate proper installation. Position your dishwasher on counter top, do not
place the unit on the ground or other position that much lower than counter top while using.
Electrical Requirements
Please look at the rating label to understand the rating voltage and connect the dishwasher to the appropriate
power supply. Use the required fuse 10 amp, time delay fuse, or circuit breaker recommended and provide a
separate circuit for this dishwasher.
Electrical Connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power outlet corresponds to those on the rating plate. Only insert the
plug into an electrical socket that has been grounded properly. If the socket is not appropriate for the dishwasher,
replace the socket. Do not use adapters, as they may cause overheating or burns.
This dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current.

HOW TO USE THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
What is the Rinse Aid Dispenser?
The rinse aid dispenser holds and releases a special liquid during your dishwasher’s nal rinse cycle to help
dishes dry quickly and without any streaks. You can nd the rinse aid dispenser inside your dishwasher next to the
detergent dispenser.
How to Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
1. Locate the dispenser on the inside door of your dishwasher.
2. Open the cap.
3. Pour liquid rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black, around 3.7 uid ounces.
WARNING: Only use branded rinse aid for the dishwasher. Never ll the rinse aid dispenser with any other
substances, not even a cleaning agent or detergent. This will damage your dishwasher.
When to Rell the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid indicator light will turn on to remind you of relling the dispenser. You can also check on the level
of rinse aid by using the rinse aid indicator located next to the dispenser’s cap. When the dispenser is full, the
indicator will show a completely dark dot. As the rinse aid level decreases, the dot will shrink, as illustrated below.
WARNING: DO NOT LET THE RINSE AID LEVEL GO BELOW 1/4 FULL.
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap towards the left, aligning it with the arrow on the left side. Lift it up.
2. Pour rinse aid into the dispenser, be careful not to overll.
3. To close the dispenser, realign the cap with the left arrow and place on the dispenser. Turn towards the right
until it lines up with the arrow on the right side.

You can use three types of detergents:
1. Those with phosphate and chlorine
2. Those with phosphate and without chlorine
3. Those without phosphate or chlorine
Note that detergents with chlorine can remove some stains when used with a high temperature program.
Can I Use Concentrated Detergent?
Yes. Concentrated detergents, or those that contain natural enzymes and are low in alkalinity, are gentler
on your dishes and the environment. You can achieve the same cleaning results with these types of
detergents on a “normal” wash cycle as you can with conventional detergents on a “heavy” wash cycle.
This is because the water facilitates the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated
detergents.
Can I Use Detergent Tablets?
Yes, but different tablet brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, select long wash programs to
ensure that the tablets have fully dissolved and reached their full cleaning potential.

dishwasher uses less detergent than a conventional dishwasher, so you generally only need one tablespoon of detergent
for a normal load. Note that dirtier dishes will need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the
dishwasher. Otherwise, the detergent could get damp before use and not dissolve properly.
How Do I Fill the Detergent Dispenser?
The markings indicate detergent levels and dosing levels (as

Recommendations
• Buy dishwasher-proof utensils.
• Use a mild detergent. If necessary, check your detergent manufacturer to make sure it is safe for all dishware.
• For delicate items, choose a low temperature program.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.
What Can I Put in the Dishwasher?
How Do I Load the Dishwasher Baskets?
For best performance, follow these loading guidelines.
Features and appearance of shelves and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften any burnt food left in pans. It is not necessary to
rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects into the dishwasher in the following way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. go face down.
2. Curved items should be loaded at a slant so water can run off of them.
3. Utensils should be stacked securely so they cannot tip over.
4. Utensils should be placed away from spray arms so they can rotate freely during washing.
• Glasses — certain types can become dull after many
washes
• Silver and aluminium items — these can discolor
during washing
• Glazed or painted item — colors and patterns may fade
after frequent washing
• Cutlery with wooden, horn china, or mother of pearl
handles
• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not heat resistant
• Cutlery or dishes bonded with glue
• Pewter or copper items
• Crystal
• Steel items that can rust
• Wooden platters

How Do I Load the Cutlery Basket?
Cutlery should be placed in the basket with their handles facing downward towards the bottom. If there are side baskets,
use them to load spoons individually into the appropriate slots. It’s important that long utensils are placed horizontally at
the front of the basket.
For safety purposes and best performance, place cutlery in the basket so that:
• They do not nest together.
• Their handles face downwards.
• Sharp points and blades are facing downwards.
