IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two
weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or
more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run
for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water
system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process. Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner′s Manual.
PROPER INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or run an equipment grounding conductor with the
circuit conductors and connect to the equipment grounding terminal or lead of the appliance. Improper
connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly
grounded.

Turning on the appliance
Starting a wash cycle...
Draw out the basket Pour in the detergent. Insert the plug into the socket. The power supply is 120
VAC60HZ, the specification of the socket is 10 A120VAC. Make sure that the water supply is turned on to
full pressure.
Press the program button, the wash program will be changed as follows direction: Heavy->Normal->Light
->Speed->Soak;
If a program is selected, the response light will light. Then press the Start/Reset button, the dishwasher
begins to start.
NOTE:
When you press the Start/Reset button to pause during washing, the program light will stop blinking and
the dishwasher will mooing every minute unless you press the Start/Reset button to start.
Chang the Program
Premise: You can modify the washing program, when the dishwasher just ran for a short time. Otherwise,
the detergent may have already been released, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water.
If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the section entitled
" Loading the Detergent " ).
Press start/Reset Button more than three seconds the machine will be in stand by state ,then you can change
the program to the desired cycle setting (see the section entitled " Starting a wash cycle. . ." ).
The program lights show the state of the dishwasher:
a) All program lights off---------------stand by
b) One of the program lights on----------pause
c) One of the program lights blinking----- run
NOTE:
If you open the door during washing, the machine will pause. When you close the door, the machine will
keep on working after 10 seconds.
At the End of the Wash Cycle
When the working cycle has finished, the buzzer of dishwasher will sound 8 seconds, then stop. Turn off
the appliance using the ON/OFF button, shut off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher.
Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they
are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
Switch Off the Dishwasher
In the digital display appears 0 (remaining program time), only in this case the program has ended.
1.Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2.Turn off the water tap!
Open the door carefully.
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down around 15 minutes
before removing from the appliance.
Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. In this way
they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
Unloading the dishwasher
It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.

WARNING:
It is dangerous to open the door when washing, because the hot water may scald you.
Check the Water Temperature
The entering water should be at least 120°F and not more than 150°F, for effective cleaning and to prevent
dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run
continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.
Use Jet-Dry Rinse Agent
Jet-Dry rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware,
cookware and plastic.
Filling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately
one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.
1.Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2.Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out.
3.Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.
4.Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
5.Replace the dispenser knob.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted.
The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium
(hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise
to increase the amount of rinse agent.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Do not put
powder detergent into the dispenser until you‟re ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need
extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is.
Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can
build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft
water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.

For heavily soiled loads, use the HEAVY, NORMAL WASH Cycle, fill one or both of the interior cups,
depending on the hardness of your water, and also fill the open cup on the dispenser lid.
Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher
detergent to place in the dispenser:
Number of Grains
Detergent Cups to Fill
Less than 4
15 cup
4 to 8
25 cup
8 to 12
15 and 25 cups
Greater than 12
15, 25 cups and the open cup
To open the wash cover, press the button and the cover will flip back. See below:
NOTE: DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with
suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and
making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from
all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing
detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.
Forget to Add a Dish?
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent cup opens.
1.Press the start/reset button 4.Add forgotten dishes.
2.Open the door a little to stop the washing. 5.Close the door

3.After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door 6.Press the start/reset button, the
completely. dishwasher will run after 10 seconds.
Loading the Dishwasher rack
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water.
To takeoff the bracket from the rack
Silverware Basket
Silverware should be placed in the Silverware basket with handles at the bottom. If the rack has side
baskets, the spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, especially long utensils should

be placed in the horizontal position on the cup shelf.
WARNING: Do not let any item extend through bottom.
Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!
For personal safety and a top quality clean, place the silverware in the basket:
·They do not nest together.
·Place silverware with handles-down.
·But place knives and other potentially dangerous utensils handles-up.
User-Maintenance Instructions
Filter system
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) And a micro filter (Fine filter).
1. Main filter:
Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed
down to drain.
2. Fine filter:
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being redeposit on the dishes
during wash cycle.
3. coarse filter
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To
remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be re-cycled during the
cycle.
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to
remove the larger food particles trapping in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter assembly
under running water. To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a soft cleaning brush. Reassemble the
filter parts as shown in following and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat
and pressing downward.
To remove the filter assembly, grab the handle of the fine filter, rotate it anti-clockwise then pull upward
direction.
Step1: rotate the fine filter anti-clockwise;
Step2: lift it up;
Step3: lift the Main filter up
NOTE:
If do it from step1 to step 3, the filter system will be removed; while if do it from Step 3 to Step 1, the filter
system will be installed.
Remarks:

- Inspect the filters for blocking every time the dishwasher has been used.
- By unscrewing the coarse filter.you can remove the filter system.Remove any food remnants and
clean the filters under running water.
WARNING:
·Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
·The dishwasher must never be used without the filters.
·Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage
dishes and utensils.
·The entire filter system should be cleaned once a week
·When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be contorted and the
performance of dishwasher could be debased.
Installation instructions
WARNING
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the
dishwasher. If your sink has one, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole
plugged. Remove All Packaging Materials Carefully.
If your existing faucet adapter is not compatible with the “quick connect” hose assembly supplied;
• Connect the faucet adapter (included with dishwasher) to your faucet.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a „male‟ type (threaded) connection, use only the standard rubber washer
(0.2”/5mm thick) supplied inside the adapter. Remove the second rubber washer.
• If your faucet is inclusive of a „female‟ type (threaded) connection, both rubber washers must be installed
inside the faucet adapter.
• The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a counter top surface with overhead
cupboards is 45cm (17.7”).
• Make sure there is an electrical supply (outlet) within reach of the electrical power supply cord (195 cm /
6.3 ft).
• Make sure the water supply/faucet connection is within reach of the inlet & drain hose assembly (i.e.,
58 cm / 22.8”).
• The dishwasher must be installed on a solid, level surface.
Water Pressure
For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch
(psi).
For the Best Results:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the
soiled surfaces of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter
(removing food and soiled particles) and pumped back through the spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out
and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle, (the number of times depends on the wash program
being used). For best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at least 55ºC (130ºF). To prevent
damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 65ºC (149ºF).

Connecting your dishwasher
Your dishwasher comes equipped with a „quick connect‟ assembly (includes inlet and drain hose). The
faucet adapter must be installed on the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher. This adapter is
included inside your dishwasher. The faucet adapter is compatible with faucets inclusive of either male
(outside) or female (inside) threaded faucet connections.
• Screw the faucet adapter onto (or into) the faucet tap. Check for leaks (use Teflon tape to eliminate if
necessary).
• Connect the six-sided connection of the drain hose to the drain port connection on the back of the
dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).
• Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose to the inlet port on the back of the dishwasher cabinet.
Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).
• Connect the circular connection of the drain hose onto the longer (bottom) male connection on the quick
connect.
• Connect the circular connection of the inlet hose onto the shorter (top) male connection on the quick
connect.
• 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.
• When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the locking collar. Verify the connection is
secure.
• Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leaks at all hose connections. If leaks are
located, immediately close the water supply and repair the hose connections.
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 closed): press
and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops.
WARNING
FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE
QUICK-CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY.
THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMINGWATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE
OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.
DANGER
DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF

CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.
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 stainless
steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater 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.
Disconnecting your Dishwasher
• Close the hot water supply at the faucet.
• Disconnect the power supply cord.
• Remember to release the water pressure inside the inlet hose. Press and hold the red pressure relief button
on the quick-connect until the flow of water stops.
• Disconnect the quick-connect hose assembly by pulling down on the outer locking collar, (thus releasing
the quick-connect from the faucet adapter).
