SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
State of California Proposition 65 Warning (US only)
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep
them out of the reach of children.
4. When loading items to be washed:
- locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and
- load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent.
For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6. Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.
7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all ENCLOSURE panels are properly in place.
8. Do not tamper with controls.
9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
11. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that
has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-
water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn
on all hot-water faucets and let the water ow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use
an open ame during this time.
12. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
CAUTION
• After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.
• The dishwasher is extremely heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry the dishwasher
by yourself. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential
injuries.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• As with any equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards
exist.
• Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away
from open ames.
• Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted oor that can support its weight.
• Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.
See page 7 for more information on grounding your dishwasher.
• Connect the ground wire to the green ground connector in the terminal box.
• After the dishwasher is installed, check that the drain hose is properly connected and
that there is no leakage from the hose connectors. If the drain hose is loose, it may
cause property damage.
• The water supply line is susceptible to breakage. As time goes by, it becomes less
exible. Check the line periodically. If it is swollen, torn, cut, or there is a water leak,
replace it immediately.
• To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operations and exercise
care when using it.
• Do not put gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials inside the dishwasher. Do
not wash dishes exposed to these materials.
• Keep your dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children. Detergent has an adverse
effect on human organs. It contains elements for polishing and is corrosive. Avoid
letting the detergent come into contact with your skin and eyes.
• Do not push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the
dishwasher or cause harm.
• Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. They may harm themselves or
damage the dishwasher.
• Disconnect the power cable (or set the circuit breaker to off) before servicing your
dishwasher.
• Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly,
repairs, and modications are permitted by authorized service technicians only. Work
done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.
• Before disposing of your dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment or
the door latch so that children or small animals cannot get trapped inside.
• If the dishwasher is left unused for an extended period of time, turn off the water
supply.
• This dishwasher is intended for residential use only.

Loading precautions
Unsuitable items for the dishwasher
Wash only items such as glass, porcelain, and cutlery which the manufacturer declares as
dishwasher safe. Do not wash aluminium (e.g. grease lters). The dishwasher may damage
aluminium, or in extreme cases, cause a severe chemical reaction.
Do not wash the following items in the dishwasher.
• Acrylic or aluminum items: These can discolor dishes with printed gold-rim decoration
and mar other items.
• Dishes treated with adhesive: Treated plastics can come apart. Wood, ivory, copper,
and tin glued to dishes can come loose.
• Plastics with a temperature tolerance less than 194 °F (90 °C): Thin plastics wash and
dry poorly, and may be damaged due to elevated wash temperatures.
• Tin: Tin items must be washed by hand and dried immediately. Otherwise, it can rust.
• Wooden utensils: Wooden items can crack.
CAUTION
• Do not wash items that are covered with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint.
• These materials will damage the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and will spread
inside the dishwasher.
• Remove food remains such as bones, fruit seeds, etc. and waste such as toothpicks,
paper napkins, etc. from your dishes. Food remains and waste can make noise, cause
the dishwasher to malfunction, and damage your dishes and dishwasher.

Loading dishes
Into the lower rack
10 place setting
12 place setting
Load cookware (pots, pans, etc.) up to
12 inches (30 cm) in diameter into the
lower rack. The lower rack is specially
designed for dinner dishes, soup bowls,
plates, pots, lids, and casserole dishes.
Load plates into the centre column of the
rack so that the top of a plate faces the
bottom of the next plate. Load large items
such as pans and pots into the dishwasher
so their inner cavities face downwards. We
recommend loading cups, stemware, and
small plates into the upper rack. See the
recommended loading cases below.

Into the Zone Booster area (to use the Chef cycle and Zone Booster option)
To use the Chef cycle and the Zone Booster
option, load heavily soiled items into
the left side of the lower rack-the Zone
Booster area. With the Chef cycle, you
can clean stubborn items that were used
with your oven. The Zone Booster function
supplies more powerful water jets to the
Zone Booster area. Make sure pot handles
and other items do not interfere with
the rotation of the nozzles and the water
reector.
NOTE
You can load lightly soiled items in other
areas or racks while using the Chef cycle.

loaded dishes do not interfere with the
rotation of the nozzle which is located at
the bottom of the upper rack. (Check this
by rotating the nozzle by hand.)
When loading dishes, pull the upper rack
out so you can load it without striking the
counter above.

Using the glass support
The glass support is used for cups, small
items, and long cookware, and especially
suited for wine glasses. Hang wine glasses
onto the pegs of the cup shelves. Fold the
glass support back when it is not being
used.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the level of the upper rack
with the glass support propped up. This
will make it impossible to push the glass
support in the upper rack.
Cutlery rack
The cutlery rack is best for atware
and cooking or serving utensils. Use
the cutlery rack to organize atware or
utensils.
NOTE
• For best results, place heavily soiled
items in the standard cutlery rack.
• The cutlery rack can be removed if you
need more space on the upper rack to
clean larger items.
The rack will stand if items are placed as suggested above. Refer to the gures below and
match the numbers on the left with the numbers on the right.

Detergent guidelines
All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment. Apply detergent as
appropriate for the selected cycle to ensure best performance.
WARNING
• Do not consume dishwasher detergent. Avoid breathing in detergent fumes.
Dishwasher detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce
respiratory conditions. If you have consumed dishwasher detergent or inhaled
detergent fumes, seek medical attention immediately.
• Keep dishwasher detergent out of children’s reach.
CAUTION
Use dishwasher detergent only. Other types of detergent produce excessive foam, which
may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.
1. Gently press the dispenser ap to
unlock, and then slide it open. Note that
the dispenser ap opens at the end of
each cycle.

2. Apply the recommended amount of
detergent to the main compartment.
3. Close the ap, and then press down to
lock.
NOTE
This dishwasher has no separate
compartment for tablet detergent.
4. For best results, apply a small amount
(half an ounce or about 15 g) of
detergent onto the door. The additional
detergent will activate during the pre-
wash process.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher. When the Rinse Rell
indicator lights up on the control panel, rell with rinse aid. Only use liquid rinse aid.
Powdered rinse aid will clog the compartment opening and cause the dishwasher to
malfunction.
CAUTION
• Do not apply any type of detergent to the rinse aid compartment.
• Do not excessively ll the compartment. Excessive rinse aid may overow during a
cycle.
1. Turn the cap counter clockwise to
remove.
2. Fill the compartment with rinse aid as
specied by the rinse aid manufacturer.
