Filter System

• Your dishwasher has a multiple Filter System. In the System, there are three mesh filters that separate soiled water and clean water in different chambers. This system helps improve performance with less water and energy consumption.

Smart Wash System

• Your dishwasher is equipped with a Smart Wash System. It automatically determines the type of wash cycle required based on the load. For a partial load of lightly soiled dishes, a short wash cycle will be performed. For a full load of heavily soiled dishes, a heavy wash cycle will be performed. This ensures efficient cleaning 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 water fills the dishwasher, covering the filter area. It is then pumped through the multiple filters and spray arms. Separated soil particles are drained as the water is replaced with clean water. The number of water fills will vary depending on the selected cycle.

Operating Instructions

• Refer to the operating manual for detailed instructions on how to use the dishwasher.

User Maintenance

• To clean the exterior of the dishwasher, use a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as they may damage the surface.

• The manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this manual.
• When loading items to be washed, arrange sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal and tub. Load these items with the handles upright in order to reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe. If they are not marked, check with the manufacturer for recommendations. Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.

USER MAINTENANCE

• Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.

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 discolor 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.
• NOTE If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for home appliances or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

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 odor 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.
• CAUTION Do not remove the tub front seal. (The long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher.)
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Cleaning the Filters

1. Turn off the dishwasher
2. Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and detach the filter insert.
3. Remove the fine filter. (flat rectangle)
4. Remove any dirt or other remains from the filters, and then rinse them under running water.
5. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

CAUTION If the filter is not closed properly, its performance will be decreased.

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

1. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
2. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle by pulling it upwards.
3. Clean the nozzle, and then push it back into place.
4. Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.
