  1. Screw the Faucet Adapter onto (or into) the faucet. Check for leaks (use Teflon or plumber tape to eliminate any leaks if necessary).
  2. Connect the six-sided connection of the Drain Hose to the dishwasher’s drain port, located on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. To avoid damage to threads, do not over-tighten.
  3. Connect the star-shaped connection of the Inlet Hose to the dishwasher’s inlet port, located on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten.
  4. Connect the circular connection of the Drain Hose to the longer (bottom) male connection on the Quick Connect.
  5. Connect the circular connection of the Inlet Hose to the shorter (top) male connection on the Quick Connect.
  6. Attach the Quick Connect assembly onto the Faucet Adapter – pull down on the locking collar, while pushing the Quick Connect assembly upwards onto the Faucet Adapter.
  7. Release the locking collar when the Quick Connect Assembly snaps onto the Faucet Adapter. Verify connection is secure.
  8. Slowly turn on the water line and check for any signs of water leak at all connections. If leaks are located, immediately turn off the water supply and repair hose connections.
  • IMPORTANT

    • Once you turn on the water supply (even if turned off immediately), the inlet hose will be pressurized.
    • To relieve the water pressure (make sure the water supply is turned off): 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 INCOMING WATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY CAN 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 the Dishwasher

  1. Turn off the water supply at the faucet.
  2. Disconnect the power supply cord.
  3. Release water pressure inside the inlet hose. Press and hold the red Pressure Relief Valve until the flow of water stops.

Loading the Dishwasher

A properly loaded dishwasher is key for optimal performance. Never overflow 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 glasses
  • 2 serving dish/bowls
  • 6 saucers
  • 6 bowls
  • 1 large platter
  • 6 dinner plates
  • 6 dessert/bread plates
  • 6 sets of utensils

Plate racks The basket is fitted with plate racks which can be stowed horizontally if required.

Cutlery 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.

WARNING!

  • Do not let any item extend through the 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 the end of the 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 of the basket
  • Items made from synthetic fibers

The following are of limited suitability:

  • Silver and aluminum – tend to discolor after washing
  • Glazed patterns may fade
  1. 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 needed to remove deposits left by excessive minerals. Soft water requires less detergent (too much detergent with soft water can cause permanent cloudiness of glassware)

  2. DETERGENT 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.

  3. ADDING DETERGENT
    The dispenser must be filled before the start of each wash cycle. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. After filling, close the lid and press until it locks in place.SPT SD-2224DW
ENERGY STAR Countertop Dishwasher-fig- \(12\)

WARNING! Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep i

  • Main detergent chamber (holds up to 15 grams of detergent)
  • Tablet or pre-wash cycle detergent chamber. If dishes are heavily soiled, add additional detergent here, which will be released during the pre-wash phase. (holds up to 25 grams of detergent)

NOTE

  • Please observe manufacturers’ dosing and storage recommendations as stated on detergent packaging.
  • NEVER USE HAND DISH DETERGENT!

Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to help remove spots and prevent film build-up on your dishes, flatware, and cookware. Also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.

ADDING RINSE AID

The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door, next to the detergent dispenser.

SPT SD-2224DW ENERGY STAR Countertop Dishwasher-fig-
\(14\)

  1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
  2. Turn the dispenser cap counterclockwise to the left arrow. Lift and remove the cap.
  3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window turns completely black – be careful not to overfill.(The capacity of the rinse aid container is approx. 3.7 oz.)
  4. Replace the cap by aligning to the “open” (left) arrow and turn clockwise to close.
  5. Clean up any spilled rinse aid to avoid excessive foaming in the next wash.

REFILLING RINSE AID

When the rinse aid container is full, the Rinse Aid Indicator (next to the cap) will be dark. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot will also reduce. Do not let the rinse aid fall below 1/4 full:

Attention! Only use a branded rinse aid for the dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with other substances such as liquid detergent.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. It is recommended to start with the dispenser set at “3”. If spots or poor drying occurs, increase the setting to “4”. If there are sticky whitish stains on dishes or a bluish film on glassware, reduce the setting to “2” or “1”.

  3. Leave the door ajar and wait a few minutes before unloading. This will allow the dishes to cool and assist in the drying process. Dishes that are still hot are more susceptible to breakage.
  4. Unload the dishwasher. It is normal for the dishwasher to be wet inside.

MAINTENANCE

Filter 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.

  • C. Coarse Filter
    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.

  • B. Fine Filter
    This filter holds soil and food residue in the cylindrical base and prevents it from being redeposited on the dishes.

  • A. Main Filter
    Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down the drain.

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 Filter assembly counter-clockwise and lift to remove entire assembly.
  2. Lift B and C upwards to remove from A.
  3. Lift C upward to remove from B.

Reassemble in reverse order – make sure the Fine Filter is properly seated.

WARNING!

  • Inspect the lters after each use.
  • Never run the dishwasher without lter assembly in place.
  • Improper placement of the lter or damaged lter may reduce the unit’s performance and may cause damage to dishes and/or utensils.
  • The entire lter assembly should be cleaned at least one a week.

Cleaning the Filters

Use a soft cleaning brush or old toothbrush to clean the Coarse and Fine Filters.  trotnoc dluoc siht ,seudiser evomer ot meht gnab ro kconk t’nod ,sretl eht gninaelc nehW rehsawhsid eht fo ecnamrofrep ecuder dna sretl eht.

Keeping Your Dishwasher in Shape

  • After Every Wash
    Turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly open so moisture and odors are not trapped inside

  • No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaners
    Never use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean the dishwasher. Only use a dampened soft towel with warm water. To remove spots or stains on the interior surface, you may use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar.

  • Clean the Door Seals
    Food that gets trapped in the seals may cause odors to form. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.

  • Clean Filters Regularly
    Clean the filters regularly to prevent clogs and odors.

  • Moving the Dishwasher
    If the dishwasher must be moved, try to keep it in the upright position. Never position the dishwasher on its side or upside down.

  • Preparation for Storage
    It is recommended you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty. Disconnect from power and turn off the water supply. Remove any water remaining in the sump area with a sponge. Leave the door slightly open. this will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming inside the dishwasher.
