grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
• The plug must be plugged into an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
• Improper connection of the grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

dishwasher is operating, as there is risk of water squirting out.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the door when it is open. The dishwasher could tip forward.
• When loading items to be washed:
1. Locate sharp items so that they do not damage the door seal.
2. WARNING: Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down
or placed in a horizontal position.
• When using your dishwasher, do not let plastic items come into contact with the heating element. (This is only applicable
to machines with a visual heating element.)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 Rell the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid indicator light will turn on to remind you of relling 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 overll.
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.

Why is Detergent Important?
dishwashers. Store the detergent in a dry place, and only put it in the dispenser when you’re ready to wash
dishes.
What Type of Detergent Can I Use?
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.

How Do I Use the Detergent Dispenser?
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
illustrated on the right).
• Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. Please observe
as stated on your detergent packaging.
• Close the lid and press down until it locks into place.
If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent
dose in the pre-wash chamber for pre-wash phase of your
wash cycle.
