The manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur.

1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasher only for intended function as described in this manual.

3. Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.

4. When loading items to be washed:

   • Load sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal and tub.
   • Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of injury.

5. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe. If not marked, check with manufacturer for recommendation. Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

6. If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.

IMPORTANT

• Remove all items before adjusting the rack. The rack must be empty.
• To adjust the height of the upper rack, follow these steps.

FOLDABLE TINES
The fold-down tines in the lower rack make it easier to load extra large or hard-to-fit items such as serving bowls and roasters. The tines may be left in the up position for normal use or folded down for more flexible loading.

SMART WASH SYSTEM
Your dishwasher has Smart Wash System. This system can determine the type of cycle required to clean the dishes in the load with maximum efficiency. When a partial load of lightly soiled dishes is placed in the unit, a wash cycle similar to Express Wash will automatically be performed. When a full load of heavily soiled dishes is placed in the unit, Heavy Duty cycle will automatically be performed.

FILTER SYSTEM
Your dishwasher has a multiple filter system, which helps your dishwasher perform better using less water and less energy  The filter system includes three filters that work in combination to separate dirty and clean water into different chambers Your dishwasher has a multiple filter system, which helps your dishwasher perform better using less water and less energy. The filter system includes three filters that work in combination to separate dirty and clean water into different chambers

FLOATER PROTECTION SYSTEM
If the water level in the tub is too high, the floater protection will be triggered, the inlet valve will be closed and the drainage valve will be activated to drain until the tub water level is normal.

GETTING STARTED

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 system 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

BASIC OPERATIONS

1. Prepare and load dishes into the dishwasher.
2. Add detergent and, if needed, rinse aid.
3. Close the door firmly to latch.
4. Select the cycle. Press the corresponding button, and the cycle icon will be lit.
5. Select the options. Press the corresponding button, and theo ption icon will be lit.
6. To start, press the Start/Pause button. Your selections will only be activated when the door is firmly closed. Check and clean the filters regularly for best performance.
   NOTE The dishwasher is programmed to remember your last cycle so you do not have to reset each time. To start the dishwasher using the same cycle and options selected on the previous wash, simply press the Start/Pause button.

DISH PREPARATION
Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuous 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. If not operating the dishwasher immediately, it is best to rinse off dishes soiled with these types of foods.  If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher

LOADING THE UPPER RACK
The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown

IMPORTANT : Make sure the items loaded in the upper rack do not interfere with the rotation of the middle spray 0arm located beneath the upper rack. Check for interference by turning spray arm by hand.

• Place items so the open ends face downward for cleaning and draining.
• Load glasses and cups in upper rack only. The lower rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.
• Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage, water spots and poor cleaning.
• Small bowls, pans and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.
• China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
• Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

LOADING THE LOWER RACK

The lower rack is designed for plates, soup bowls, cookware and bakeware. The adjustable upper rack allows you to load items up to 12.6″ in height in the lower rack.
IMPORTANT : Items in the lower rack must be placed so that they do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms, block the water inlet or keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser

LOADING THE THIRD RACK
You can place the items in the cutlery rack randomly or in an  orderly fashion. The image below shows how to load the top rack for 14 place settings:

LOADING THE SILVERWARE BASKET

The silverware basket has three separate sections. For optimum loading flexibility, the center section of the basket can be used individually, joined with one or both side sections or removed.

• Lift handle to remove the silverware basket and set the basket on a counter or table top.
• Lift up on each side section to disengage the center section from the keyhole slots in the side sections.
• Load the silverware into the basket sections when the basket is in the lower rack or on a countertop

The three separated modules of the silverware basket can be used in both Upper and Lower Racks.

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

CAUTION

• Do not let any item extend through bottom.
• Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of the silverware basket or rack that could block the lower spray arm.
• Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.

FOR BEST RESULTS

• To avoid injury, load utensils such as knives and skewers with handles pointing up and sharp metal edges pointing down. Items such as forks and spoons may be loaded with handles pointing up or down, using separators to prevent the edges of the silverware from nesting.
• Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob holders, etc. in the basket sections with hinged covers. Close the covers to hold small items in place
• Unload or remove the baskets before unloading the racks to avoid water drops from falling on the silverware.
• When handles are up, mix items in each section of the baskets with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested  items

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.
4. Press the Start/Pause button.

CAUTION TO AVOID BURN INJURY: Slightly open door and wait until spray arms and wash action stop. Hot steam may exit the dishwasher or hot water may splash out of it. Failure to USE CAUTION may result in injury.

ADD DETERGENT
IMPORTANT
• Use automatic dish washing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
• Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
• Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

1. Push the dispenser cover release catch to open the main wash detergent compartment. NOTE : The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle
2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the detergent compartment
3. Press down on the top of the cover to secure.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO USE
The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your load, the type of detergent used and the hardness of your water.

• If you use too little detergent, dishes won’t be clean.
• If you have soft water and use too much detergent, glassware will etch.

WATER HARDNESS
Water hardness varies depending on your water source. For the best results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. Test kits are available from all major appliance parts retail outlets. If your water has a hardness over 8 grains per gallon, you may consider installing a water softener or regularly use an additive to enhance the performance of your detergent.

FILLING THE RINSE AID

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 dispenser, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the final rinse. If spotting and poor drying are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. 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. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Under normal conditions, the rinse aid will last approximately one month. Try to keep the reservoir full, but do not overfill.

RINSE AID DISPENSER

1. Lift up the end tab of rinse aid cover to open

2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid rinse aid until full. Do not overfill NOTE: Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir.
   WARNING Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow during the wash cycle

3. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly to close.

TO ADJUST THE RINSE AID SETTING
You can adjust the amount of the rinse aid released during the rinse aid according to the following steps: 4 Close the door and power on the dishwasher.

1. Within 60 seconds after step 1, press the Rinse Only button more than 5 seconds to enter into the setting mode, the rinse aid indicator will blink quickly.
2. Press the Rinse Only button to select the proper setting according to your using habits. The setting will change in the following sequence:
3. Without any operation in 5 seconds or press the Power button to complete the setting and exit the setting mode.

WASH CYCLE SELECTIONS

Cycle times are approximate and will vary with options selected.   Hot water is necessary to activate dishwasher detergent and melt fatty food soils. An automatic sensor will check the incoming water temperature, and, if it is not hot enough, the timer will be delayed for automatic water heating in the main wash of all cycles. This happens even when HI-TEMP WASH is selected as an even higher temperature will be guaranteed to  handle heavier soil loads

NOTE: The energy usage label is based on Normal cycle with Heated Dry option selected and with the upper rack in the raised position
