Features
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
filters 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
- Load the dishwasher (See Dish Preparation and Loading sections).
- Add detergent (See Filling the detergent dispenser).
- Add rinse aid (See Filling the rinse aid dispenser).
- Close door.
- Select the desired CYCLE (See Cycle Chart).
- Select desired OPTIONS (See Control Panel).
- The indicator light above the pad will glow when selected. To start, press Start/Cancel (See Control Panel).
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.
Burnt-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 discolouration 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 the disposer is completely empty before
starting the 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, and saucepans with the soiled surfaces facing down or toward
the centre. 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.
Loading the Lower Basket
The lower basket has been specially 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
- Spoons
- Knives
- Salad forks
- Forks
- Large spoons
- Large forks
WARNING
- Do not let item extend through the bottom.
- Be sure nothing protrudes through the bottom of the basket or rack to block the lower spray arm
Adding A Dish
To add or remove items after the wash cycle starts:
- Open the door slightly and wait a few seconds until the wash action stops before completely opening.
- Add the item.
- Close the door firmly to latch within 4 seconds, then the cycle will automatically resume
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 detergent dispense
-
Open the detergent dispenser cap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.
-
The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle
-
Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash detergent compartment
-
Close the flap and then press 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
-
Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by opening the cover.
-
Fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid.
-
Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by closing the cover.
USER MAINTENANCE
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 discolour 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.
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 odour 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.
-
Turn off the dishwasher.
-
Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the filter insert.
-
Remove the fine filter (flat, rectangular).
-
Remove any dirt or other remains from the filters, and then rinse them under running water.
-
Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.
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
- Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
- If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle by pulling it upwards.
- Clean the nozzle, and then push it back into place.
- Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.
