2. The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a countertop surface with overhead cupboards or kitchen cabinets is 17.8″. This countertop dishwasher is 17.2″ in height.
   (Reference the diagram on the next page for more information)

DIAGRAM OF PROPER APPLIANCE PLACEMENT

NOTE: Recommended dishwasher location is next to the sink. Make sure there is an electrical power supply within easy reach of the machine. The power cord is 6-feet long. The dish-
washer must be installed ona solid, level surface. To level the dishwasher, adjust the four legs under the dishwasher.
Carefully position the dishwasher on the countertop that you determined as your final location. Install and operate this countertop dishwasher using the Quick Faucet Adapter Connection.

QUICK FAUCET ADAPTER CONNECTION

THE QUICK FAUCET ADAPTER EASILY CONNECTS TO THE SINK FAUCET.
A) First remove aerator from your faucet nozzle and attach the quick connect threaded adapter to the faucet. The quick connect faucet adapter allows easy snap-on/snap-
off connection to standard (7/8” diameter) faucets.
B) Connect the dishwasher Quick Connect Faucet Adapter to the faucet first to ensure the hose length fits the dishwasher’s selected location. Both hose and fittings must
be connected to the back of the dishwasher. The plastic water intake and drain fittings are unique to each design and are made to easily fit the dishwasher.

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 a sink spray, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.
C) Water Intake Hose: Connect to the rear of the dishwasher using the large, 4-corner shaped wing nut.
D) Drain Hose: Connect to the rear of the dishwasher. It is suggested you use pliers to tighten but DO NOT over tighten.

CAUTION: Do not let children disconnect the dishwasher. Close supervision of children is always important around the appliance.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

WATER, PRESSURE, AND TEMPERATURE
For the best operating results, the incoming water should be HOT and the pressure should be between 0.03~%1.00 Mpa. Incoming water supply for the dishwasher is controlled by a “low water switch” application, in the event your household water ceases, the dishwasher will stop. We only recommend using HOT water for maximum efficiency and optimal results.

HOW IT WORKS:
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean HOT water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surface of your dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter removing food and soiled particles, then pumped back through the spray arm.
Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle. For the best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at least 120°F. To prevent damage to your dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 150°F
NOTE: “Hard Water” conditions will adversely affect the performance of your dishwasher’s washing ability. 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 an empty dishwasher using one cup of white vinegar (at least once a week) or special cleaning products that clean calcium and lime deposits.

DISHWASHING PREPARATIONS
PREPARING TO WASH DISHES:
For best results, rinse dishware and perform the following steps before loading your dishes:
A) Discard any big chunks of food from the plate.
B) Remove any oils and grease.
C) Remove sticky food residues and loosen burned-on residues.
D) Empty liquids such as soups and beverages from glassware and cups.

TIPS TO AVOID STAINS AND FILMS:
The following suggestions are recommended to prevent stains and films from forming on dishware and utensil items:
A) You must rinse all dishware, silverware, glassware, and food containers immediately after use. Some citric based food products, coffee, tea, and iron deposits in water can cause yellow or brown filming on the inside surfaces when left on for long durations.
B) Rinse off acid-based liquids, such as vinegar or lemon juice immediately. This may cause discoloration over time to your plates, food containers, or internal cabinets.
C) Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations prior to washing items.
D) You must check your water hardness to see whether you need to use more or less detergent when washing. If your water is extremely hard then it may be causing stains on items. You may need to use a water softener.
E) Do not overload the dishwasher.
F) Avoid improper loading by nesting plates together.
G) Do not use too little detergent.
H) Do not use old or damp powered detergent.
l) Make sure the water temperature is at the recommended level to wash your dishwares.
J) Do not load aluminum utensils improperly. Aluminum utensils can cause gray or black marks to porcelain utensils if they touch during the washing cycle.

LOADING DISHWASHER

LOADING YOUR DISHWASHER:
The dishwasher is designed for a standard “6 place setting”.

NOTE: The standard plate size is 10″. For ease of loading/unloading larger sized dinner plates from the dish rack, it may be necessary to (temporarily) remove the cutlery basket. When loading and unloading is complete, attach the cutlery basket to its original position.

CUTLERY BASKET:
Silverware should be placed in the basket with handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, the spoon should be loaded individually into the correct slots. Exceptionally long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position on the cup shelf.

WARNING Do not let any item extend through the bottom of the rack or cutlery basket.
WARNING Load sharp utensils with the sharp end pointed downward.

OPTIMUM CAPACITY:

1. Cups
2. Serving Bowls
3. Glassware
4. Saucers
5. Fruit Bowls| 6. Oval Platter
7. Dinner Plates
8. Bread/Butter Plates
9. Cutlery Basket
---|---

HOW TO LOAD ITEMS:

A) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
B) Do not load plastic items unless they are marked “Dishwasher Safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items without such markings, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
C) Cups, glasswares, and bowls must have their openings facing downwards in the dishwasher rack.
D) Do not load glasswares over the dish rack pins. Glasses loaded over dish rack pins are not properly supported and are likely to get damaged. Certain types of glasses can become dull after a large number of washes.
E) Arrange all items with recessed or curved sections on a slant to drain water away from the items.
F) Do not nest utensils together or overload the basket. They need to be evenly distributed. Make sure any cutlery items have not fallen through the basket, which can stop the spray arm from rotating.
G) Items with wooden or bone handles, and items joined together with glue are unsuitable for the dishwasher, as they cannot withstand the hot water used.
H) Place silverware with handles facing down, with the exception of knives and other potentially dangerous utensils which should have handles facing up. Do not load silverware with steel constructions that are subject to rusting.
I) Do not load pewter or copper items, crystal glassware, wooden platters, or items made from synthetic fibers.
J) Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolor after washing.
K) Glazed patterns may fade over time if they are frequently machine washed.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Consider purchasing utensils that are labeled dishwasher safe.
2. Use mild detergents that are labeled for dishwasher use. If necessary seek further information from detergent manufacturers.
3. For particular items, select a wash cycle with a low temperature setting.
4. To prevent any damage, do not take glassware and cutlery immediately out of the dishwasher after the wash cycle has ended.
5. Exceptionally small items should not be washed in the dishwasher.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING YOUR DISHWASHER:

1. Ensure that all electrical, water, and drain connections have been installed correctly before proceeding.
2. Load the dishwasher (see the “Loading Dishwasher” section).
3. Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
4. Add the appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent to the dispenser (see “Dishwashing Detergent” section).
5. Close the door and ensure that the door latch has engaged.
6. Turn the dishwasher ON by pressing the ON/OFF button.
7. Select the appropriate wash cycle/program (see “Wash Cycle Sequence” section).
8. Press the Start/Reset button. The indiciator lights will flash intermittently to indicate the dishwasher is in “RUN” mode.

NOTE: When you press the Start/Reset button to pause the unit during washing, the indicator lights will stop blinking and the dishwasher will stop working until the Start/Reset button is pressed again.

DISHWASHING DETERGENT AND RINSE AID
NOTE: Use ONLY detergent specifically made for automatic dishwashers. Check the product packaging to be certain. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Do not put powder detergent
into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
The amount of dishwashing detergent used is dependent on the condition of your household water supply. Extra detergent is required for hard water conditions, while less detergent is needed for soft water conditions. Your water utilities company should be able to tell you the condition of your household water supply.
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, as well as the open cup on the dispenser lid. For an easy guideline, use the information in the table below to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place into the dispenser:

To open the detergent storage cover, press the button and the cover will flip open. After you finish loading the detergent, securely close the cover. (See Figure 1 Below)

USING A RINSING AID AGENT
Using a specially formulated rinsing agent will help rinse away food and detergent residues that can be left behind on your dishes during the final rinse. This helps to prevent unslightly spots, films on dishes and glassware, and reduce drying time. When used regularly, a rinse agent will automatically provide you with cleaner dishes every time you wash them. The rinse aid will automatically be added during the final rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot or streak free drying.
Always use a branded rinse aid for dishwashers, and never dilute or fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. detergent), as it will damage the appliance.

RINSE AID SETTING
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The dispenser has four settings (factory setting is at the midpoint; the recommended setting). If there are rings
of hard water (e.g. calcium) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.

TO ADJUST THE RINSE AID SETTING
Remove the dispenser cap, and then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent.

LOW RINSE AID LEVEL INDICATOR
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator will change until the black do no longer appears in the rinse aid level indicator.

FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
The rinsing agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinsing agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Keep it full, but do not overfill the dispenser. The dispenser is located inside the door next to the washing detergent dispenser (See Figure 2).
FIG. 2

1. To fill the dispenser, turn the cap to the left and lift it out.
2. Add rinse agent until the indicator level turns completely black.
3. Replace the dispenser cap and close the dishwasher door.

CHECKING THE WATER TEMPERATURE
For the most effective cleaning and to prevent damage to the dishware being cleaned, the hot water supplied to the dishwasher should be at a temperature of at least 120#F (49ºC) and no more than 150#F (66ºC).

WASH CYCLE SEQUENCES
NOTE: Wash cycle times listed here are for reference use only as they can change based on conditions such as inlet water temperature, whether the dishwasher is partially or fully loaded, and the heating element power rating.

NOTE: If you change the wash cycle sequence after the detergent has been dispensed, or the dishwasher has already drained the water, you will need to refill the detergent dispenser for the newly elected wash cycle sequence, accordingly.

END OF THE WASH CYCLE PROCEDURE

Once the dishwasher has completed the selected wash cycle sequence, a buzzer will sound for 8 seconds, indicating the end of they wash cycle.

1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Turn the dishwasher OFF by pressing the ON/OFF button.
3. Open the door ajar slowly to allow residual steam to escape.
4. Wait a few minutes (approximately 15 minutes) before unloading the dishwasher as the dishes and cutlery will be hot. This also aids in the drying process.
5. The interior of the dishwasher will be wet, this is normal and will dry naturally.

WARNING It is dangerous to open the door when the dishwasher is in operation, as the hot water may cause scalding or injury.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR DISHWASHER:
After every wash, leave the dishwasher door slightly ajar so that any moisture and odor are not trapped inside the appliance.

DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANING PRODUCTS:
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a soft wash cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a soft wash cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.

FILTER SYSTEM
The filter system consists of three different filters:

1. Main filter: Food particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down the drain.

2. Fine filter: This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area, preventing residues from being deposited on the dishes during wash cycle.

3. Coarse filter: Larger items, such as those that could block the drain, are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by this filter, gently squeeze the tap at the top of this filter and lift it out. The filter efficiently removes food particles from the used water, allowing it to be recycled.

For the best performance and optimal results, the filter assembly must be cleaned regularly.
For this reason, it is a good idea to remove larger food remnants trapped inside 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 the diagram and reinsert the entire assembly into the dishwasher by positioning the filter into its seat and pressing downward.
To remove the filter assembly, grab the handle of the fine filter, rotate it counter clockwise, and then pull the filter in an upward direction.
Step 1: Rotate the fine filter counter clockwise.
Step 2: Lift fine filter up.
Step 3: Lift main filter up.
NOTE: Reverse the above procedure to reinstall the filter.

Summary:
A) Inspect and clean the filters after every dishwashing use.
B) 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 installed. Improper replacement of the filters may reduce overall performance of the appliance, and subsequently damage dishware and utensils. The entire filter system should be cleaned at least once a week. When cleaning the filters do so carefully, otherwise filters may lose their shape, degrading the performance and overall effectiveness of the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARM
It is necessary to clean the spray arm regularly for hard water chemicals that can clog the spray arm jets and bearings. Wash the arm in warm, soapy water using a soft brush to clean the jets.

CLEANING THE CONTROL PANEL
A. To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth. To clean the exterior, use a good appliance polish wax.
B. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher (exterior or interior).

CLEANING THE DISHWASHER DOOR
To clean the edge around the dishwasher door, you should use only a soft rag that is dampened with warm water.
WARNING Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel, as it may damage the door lock and electrical components of the unit. It is not recommended to use abrasive cleaners or rough surface paper towels since it carries the risk of scratching or leaving marks on the stainless steel surface.

Do not let water penetrate into the door lock and any electrical components when cleaning. Never use a cleaning spray of any kind.
