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.
