Safety

Do not store or use flammable liquids or vapors near the dishwasher.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for a long period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water  flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame.
Use only detergents recommended for use in dishwashers and keep detergents out of reach of children.
Do not touch the heating element.
Do not sit or stand on the dishwasher racks or door.
Ensure that the dishwasher door does not remain in an open position, to prevent accidents from happening.
When positioning the appliance, ensure the electrical cord is not tangled or damaged.
Do not place multiple portable socket-outlets at the rear of the appliance.
Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Grip the plug firmly and pull straight out to remove from wall socket.
Do not use a damaged power cord and do not modify the plug.
Do not use an extension cord.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not climb on or play with the appliance. Discard packaging material and keep out of reach of children.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they  have been given supervision or instruction.

Installation

Installation of the dishwasher should be done by a qualified technician.
Place the dishwasher in an area where it will not be exposed to the weather and to freezing temperatures and away from sources of heat and high humidity.
Place the Dishwasher on a flat level surface.
Disconnect the power supply before installing the dishwasher.
Only connect the dishwasher to the power supply when all installation and plumbing work is complete.
Never connect the ground wire to gas lines, hot water pipes or plumbing lines.
The dishwasher must be grounded.
Connect to a properly rated, protected, and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload. The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120V, 60Hz, AC,  connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breakers rated for 15 amperes. Electrical supply conductors must be a minimum of  #16 AWG copper wire rated at 167°F (75°C) or higher.
Plug the power cord into an outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with local codes.
Check the plug and cable before you connect the power and make sure it is the correct 110 voltage.
Dishwasher must be secured to adjacent cabinetry using the brackets provided.
To ensure that the dishwasher has been correctly installed, check for water leaks during and after the first use.

Preparation and Operation

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Generally, the dishwasher is designed for cups and glasses on the top rack; plates and pots on the bottom rack; and long serving utensils on the very top rack.
When loading the dishwasher:

• Place sharp items so that they do not damage the door or seal.
• Place knives in the silverware basket with handles up to prevent risk of injury.
• Ensure that items do not protrude below the racks or silverware basket.
• Do not wash plastic items in the dishwasher unless they are marked “Dishwasher Safe”.

Tines in the top and bottom racks can be raised or lowered depending on the items to be placed, thereby providing maximum flexibility. The silverware basket can also be  moved from its usual spot to adjust the space in the bottom rack.
The top rack is designed to be positioned at two levels. You can adjust the height of the rack by moving it on either the upper rail or the lower rail.
Hold the top rack on the sides and lift up slightly and then push down to the desired height. Ensure that the rack locks in place.
Ensure that the Upper and Lower Spray Arms can spin freely without hitting obstructions.
Push the racks all the way in, ensuring the blue End Clips on the rails are locked.

Add dishwasher detergent into the bigger dispenser.
(Note: detergent pods may not dissolve completely in short wash cycles).
Add rinse aid into the smaller dispenser. This needs to be done only periodically and not before every wash cycle. The rinse aid indicator light will come on when the level is  low and should be refilled soon.
Close the dispensers and then the door firmly until it clicks.

Setting the Wash Programs

Press the Power Button located at the far right on the Control Panel.
Select the Wash Program by pressing the Program Button on the left side of the Control Panel. Once selected, the Program number (e.g. P1, P2) flashes on the Display Panel  and also the number of minutes for the cycle.

Sensor Programs
P1 ECO & P2 Sensor Programs automatically adjust the cycle duration according to the soil level of the dishes. The programs start with the specified maximum time (145 for ECO, 155 for Sensor).
During the operation, the sensor measures the soil level of the dishes, and adjusts the time automatically depending on how much cleaning is needed. Water quantity and temperatures are also adjusted Review the options in the middle of the Control Panel to select additional functions.

Extra Button – You may select:

• Sanitize – increases the water temperature in the final rinse.
• Rinse – adds an extra rinse to the selected wash cycle.
• Dry – increases water temperature.
