Loading the Dishwasher
A properly loaded dishwasher is key for optimal performance. Never overfill the dishwasher as
it can reduce the unit's efficiency. Improper placement of items can also affect the dishwasher's
performance. Position the dishes and utensils so they are secure during the wash cycle and will
not be moved by sprayed water.
This dishwasher is designed to hold 6 place settings:
6 cups 6 saucers 6 dinner plates
6 glasses 6 bowls 6 dessert plates
2 serving dish/bowls 1 large platter 6 sets of utensils
Cups (x6) Serving Dish/Bowl (x2)
Glasses (x6) Saucers (x6)
Bowls (x6) Large Platter (xl)
Dinner Plates (x6) Dessert Plates (x6)
Cutlery basket
Plate racks
The basket is fitted with plate racks which
can be stowed horizontal if required_

Cut|ery Basket
Flatware should be placed in the cutlery basket with handles at the bottom. Knives and
other sharp utensils should be placed with handles up, but make sure the tips do not
extend through the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, spoons should be loaded
individually into appropriate slots. Longer utensils should be placed horizontally on
the cup shelf.
AWARNING!
Do not let any item extend through bottom.
Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!
Be sure similar pieces do not nest together.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE:
•Scrape off food particles before loading.
Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
Place cups, glasses, pots/pans face down.
Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so water can run off.
Allow sufficient space between items to allow water and detergent to reach each surface.
Ensure glasses and stemware are secure and balanced.
Ensure breakable items are not sitting on metal cutlery which can ship the dishes.
Do not overload the dishwasher.
WARNING
•To prevent damage, do not remove glass and cutlery from the dishwasher immediately
after end of program. Allow the dishware to return to room temperature.
The following items are not suitable for wash in the dishwasher:
•Cutlery with wooden, horn china or mother-of-pearl handles and wooden platters
Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.
Bonded cutlery items or dishes
Pewter or copper items
Crystal glass
Steel items subject to rusting
Very small items as they may fall out the basket

The following are of limited suitability:
•Silver and aluminum - tends to discolor after washing
•Glazed patterns may fade

Detergent Dispenser
Use only detergent specifically made for use with dishwashers. Keep detergent fresh and
dry. Do not put powder detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes,
which can get damp and not dissolve properly.
The hardness of your water will affect the amount of detergent to use. With hard water,
extra detergent is need to remove deposits left by excessive minerals. Soft water requires
less detergent (too much detergent with soft water can cause permanent cloudiness of
glassware)
DETERGENT TABLETS {A|l-in-t tablets)
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, some
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs.
If using a detergent tablet, please select a long program to ensure complete removal of
detergent residuals.
Detergent tablets are to be placed in the Tablet Basket and the basket can be hung
anywhere on the top left- above the cup shelves.
ADDING DETERGENT
The dispenser must be filled before start of each wash cycle. Your dishwasher uses less
detergent and rinse aid then conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon
of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. After filling, close lid and press until it
locks in place.
A WARNING! Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
ChamberAcan hold up to 0.5 oz (15g) of detergent
Chamber B can hold up to 0.88 oz (25g) of detergent
NOTE
•Please observe manufacturers dosing and storage
recommendations as stated on detergent packaging.
•NEVER USE HAND DISH DETERGENT!

12

Fi|ter System
The filter system consists of a Coarse Filter, a Fine Filter and a Main Filter. The filter
system prevents large remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.
1, Main Fimter
Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by
a special jet on the spray arm and washed down the drain.
2, Fine Fimter
This filter holds soil and food residue in the cylindrical base
and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes.
3, Coarse Fimter
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could
block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove
items caught by this filter, gently squeeze the tap on the
top of the filter and lift out.
Filter Assembly
The filter efficiently removes food particles so the wash water can be recycled during a
wash cycle. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned
regularly. It is recommended to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after
each use by rinsing the filter assembly under running water.
To remove filter assembly:
1. Turn the Fine Filter counter-clockwise.
2. Pull upwards
3. Lift the Main Filter up
Reassemble in reverse order = make sure the Fine Filter
is properly seated.
WARNING!
Inspect the filters after each use.
Never run the dishwasher without filter assembly in place.
Improper placement of the filter or damaged filter may reduce
the unit's performance and may cause damage to dishes
and/or utensils.
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least one a week.
C|eaning the Fi|ters
Use a soft cleaning brush or old toothbrush to clean the Coarse and Fine Filters.
When cleaning the filters, don't knock or bang them to remove residues, this could contort
the filters and reduce performance of the dishwasher.
13

Cleaning the Dishwasher
The control panel can be cleaned by using a slightly dampened cloth. Dry thoroughly
with a soft towel.
The exterior can be wiped with a towel and mild detergent solution. Wipe clean and
follow with a good appliance polish wax.

Cleaning the Door
Use only a soft, damp cloth with warm water to clean the edge
around the door. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock
and electrical components, do not use spray cleaner of any kind.
Clear|ing the Spray Arm
The spray arm can be easily removed for periodic
cleaning of the nozzles to prevent possible clogging.
Remove the spray arm by grasping the middle
and pull upwards. Wash the spray arm under running
water and carefully reinstall making sure the rotary
movement is in no way impeded.
WARNING Abrasive agents and some paper towel may scratch or leave spots on the
stainless steel surface.
