Filter System

Your dishwasher has a multiple Filter System. In the System there are three mesh filters. It can separate soiled water and clean water in different chambers. The multiple filter system helps your dishwasher to get better performance with less water and less energy

Smart Wash System

Your dishwasher has a Smart Wash System. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to a short wash will automatically be performed.
When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a heavy wash cycle will automatically be performed. It can determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes and will clean more efficiently every time.

How your dishwasher cleans

Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms against soiled surfaces .
The dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the multiple filter and spray arms. Separated soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water.
The number of water fills will vary with the cycle being used.

Getting Started

1. Load the dishwasher (See Dish Preparation and Loading sections).
2. Add detergent (See Filling the detergent dispenser).
3. Add rinse aid (See Filling the rinse aid dispenser).
4. Select desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart).
5. Select desired OPTIONS (See Control Panel). The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected.
6. Run the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher until the water is hot, then turn it off.
7. To start, press Start/Cancel (See Control Panel). Then close door.

NOTE

This model is embedded operation, all buttons can only be operated in the open state.

Wash Cycle Selections

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with the options selected. Hot water is necessary to activate the detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature. If it is not at the appropriate temperature the timer will delay the cycle to allow automatic water heating during the main wash. When the HI-TEMP wash is selected an even higher temperature will be assured to handle heavier soil loads.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash system will remove the remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once it is best to rinse off these food soils. If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.

Loading the Upper Basket

The upper basket is designed for cups, glasses, small plates, bowls and plastic items marked dishwasher safe etc. For best results, place the bowls, cups, glasses, sauce pans with soiled surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage.

Loading the Bottom Basket

The bottom basket is designed to load plates, soup bowls, plates, saucers and cookware. The adjustable basket space will allow you to load items with a maximum height of 11 inches.

The fold-down tines in the bottom basket make it easy to load those extra large and hard-to-fit items. The tines may be left up for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading. Fold down for more space to load large pots or pans.

Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray arm, which is located at the bottom of the upper basket. (Check this by rotating the middle spray arm by hand.)

Large items should be placed along the edge so they do not interfere with the middle spray arm rotation, and make sure they not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. Large items should be turned so that the inside faces downward, and make sure these items do not interfere with the lower spray arm rotation.

PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES

Loading the Lower Basket

The lower basket has been especially designed for dinner dishes, soup bowls, plates, pots, lids, casserole dishes, and plates.
Load large items such as pans and pots into the dishwasher so their open sides face downwards. We recommend loading cups, stemware, and small plates into the upper basket. See the recommended loading patterns below.

Loading the Upper Basket

The upper basket has been designed for small plates, mugs, glasses, and plastic items marked “dishwasher safe”. Load your plates into the dishwasher in two half rows, so that the front of each plate faces the back of the plate in front of it, and the open sides of the plates at the center of the dishwasher face each other. See the illustrations below.
Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the nozzle which is located at the bottom of the upper basket. (Check this by rotating the nozzle by hand.) When loading dishes, pull the upper basket out sufficiently so you can load it without striking the counter.

Loading the Silverware Basket

The silverware basket can be divided into three separate modules that can be used in both upper and lower racks.

1. Spoons
2. Knives
3. Salad forks
4. Forks
5. Large spoons
6. Large forks
   

WARNING

1. Do not let item extend though bottom.
2. Be sure nothing protrudes though bottom of the basket or rack to block the lower spray arm.

Adding A Dish

To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:

1. Open door slightly and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before completely opening.
2. Add the item.
3. Close the door firmly to latch within 4 secs, then cycle will automatically resume.

  CAUTION

TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot water may splash out of dishwasher. Failure to do so may result in injury.

Filling the rinse aid dispenser

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture.

The Heated Dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the Detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.

If the rinse aid is low, the Rinse Aid light is illuminated at the beginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.

Filling the rinse aid dispenser

Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Under normal conditions, the rinse aid will last approximately one month. It is best to keep it full, but do not over fill.

Filling the detergent dispenser

1. Open the detergent dispenser cap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.
   The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.
   

2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash detergent compartment.
   

3. Close the flap and then pressing it down.
   

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid only.
Using a powdered rinse aid will clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction.

Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher.

Do not add regular detergent to the rinse aid reservoir.

1. Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise.
   

2. Fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid.
   Use the viewing port when fil ling the rinse aid reservoir.
   Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can over flo w during the wash cycle.
   

3. Add the rinse aid if the LED screen shows “LSb”. rinse aid left.

4. Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.
   

USER MAINTENANCE

Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and avoid letting water come into contact with any of the electrical parts.

If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for Home Appliances or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend filling the detergent dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the Normal or Express 60 cycle with the sanitize option. This will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Normal cycle with the dishwasher empty and without detergent until it flushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle finish.

Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).

Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

1. Turn off the dishwasher.

2. Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the filter insert.

3. Remove the fine filter (flat, rectangular).

4. Remove any dirt or other remains from the filters, and then rinse them under running water.

5. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.
   

If the filter insert is not closed properly, its performance will be decreased.

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

If your dishwasher does not seem to be cleaning adequately or the nozzles seem clogged, you can clean each of the nozzles. When removing the nozzles, take care as they may break.

Lower nozzle

1. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
2. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle by pulling it upwards.
3. Clean the nozzle, and then push it back into place.
4. Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.

Dishwasher Warranty

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty provided by FORTÉ in this Statement of Limited
Dishwasher Warranty applies only to the FORTÉ appliance sold to you (“Dishwasher“), provided that the Dishwasher was purchased:

• For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.
• New at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
• Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the Dishwasher warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the Dishwasher purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for FORTÉ to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or Dishwasher recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts

FORTÉ warrants that the Dishwasher is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. This Dishwasher is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Dishwasher, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, Dishwasher location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B” stock appliances.

Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of FORTÉ at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. FORTÉ’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer defective Dishwasher only, using a FORTÉ- authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, FORTÉ highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Dishwasher yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; FORTÉ will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a nonauthorized service provider. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on FORTÉ Dishwashers, and who possess, in FORTÉ’s opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of FORTÉ)..

Notwithstanding the foregoing, FORTÉ will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Dishwasher if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, FORTÉ would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. Out of Warranty Dishwasher FORTÉ is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, prorates, or Dishwasher replacement, once this warranty has expired.

Warranty Exclusions

The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of FORTÉ, including without limitation, one or more of the following:

• Use of the Dishwasher in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor Dishwasher outdoors, use of the Dishwasher in conjunction with air or water-going vessels).
• Any party’s willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including self-performed “fixing” or exploration of the appliance’s internal workings).
• Adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind.
• A failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install the Dishwasher in strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations.
• Ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Dishwasher.
• Any external, elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive moisture or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures surrounding the appliance, and acts of God.
• Service calls to correct the installation of your Dishwasher, to instruct you how to use your Dishwasher, to replace house fuses or correct house wiring or plumbing. In no event shall FORTÉ have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for damage to surrounding property, including cabinetry, floors, ceilings, and other structures or objects around the Dishwasher. Also excluded from this warranty are Dishwashers, on which the serial numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to use the Dishwasher, or visits where there is nothing wrong with the Dishwasher; correction of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and setting for the Dishwasher, including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/flooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabinetry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO DISHWASHER, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
