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 such a 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 during this
time.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance of electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

YOU MAY NOT ADD TOO MUCH DETERGENT TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BECAUSE OUR
DISHWASHERS HAVE SPECIALLY-DESIGNED WATER SOFTENERS.
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the" Wash
Cycle Table".Our dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one
tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent.
Always add the detergent just before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

To remove hard water spots, try the following:
Run dishes through a normal wash program.
Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc.,
from the dishwasher.
Do not add detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face
up on the lower rack of the dishwasher.
Run the dishes through a normal wash program.
If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of
citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to
keep it out of reach of children.

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers.
Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder detergent
into the dispenser until You're ready to wash dishes.

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water
from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and
streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to "sheet" off
the dishes.

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open"
(left) arrow and lift it out.
Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful
not to overfill.
Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open"
arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

Our dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The
rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the
detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and
pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator
turns completely black. The dispenser holds about 100 ml of
liquid rinse aid.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could
cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher
door. If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid for
it may cause a white film to develop on your dishes.

A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with
detergent, the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the
hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in lather of
foaming and cause cloudiness or steaks on your dishes. If the water in your
area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the
rinse aid with an equal amount of water.
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set
on " 1 ". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse
aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "2". If the
dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next
higher number until your dishes are spot-free. We suggest you to set on "4" .

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the
rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cup and saucers,
as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans(as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by putting wheels of different height into the rails.

We recommend that you place large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower rack: pots, pans, lids,
serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the
top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc, must always be placed top down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow out.
The bottom rack feature fold down tine rows so that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

For your convenience, we have placed the drain pump and filtering system within easy reach inside the tub.
There are three components of the filtering system: the main filter, the coarse filter, and the fine filter.

1 Main filter

Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the
lower spray arm and washed down the drain.

2
3

Coarse filter
Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could clog the drain are trapped
in the coarse filter. To remove an item caught in this filter, gently squeeze the tabs
on top of this filter and lift it out.

Fine filter
This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being
redeposited on the dishes during a cycle.

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to:

Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove
fuses or trip circuit breaker.

Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the
water valve.

Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water
inlet pipe from the water valve.

Remove the plastic sump cover in the
tub the bottom and use a sponge to
soak up water in rubber boot.

Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve.
(Use a pan to catch the water.)

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.
To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash
the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.

Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated
during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in
the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To
remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter
assembly should be cleaned at least once a month.
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter
parts as shown in the figures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning
in its seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may
reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.

Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.

To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent
penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner
of any kind.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will
scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.

Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not
allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.

After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that
moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run
a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply
and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This
will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from
forming within the appliance.

Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always
remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.

If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position.If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned
on its back.

To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy
water.To remove spots or stains from the surface
of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water
and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product
made specifically for dishwashers.

One of the factors that cause odors to form in the
dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this
from occurring.

This dishwasher is designed for operation on an adequately wired individual 120VAC, 60HZ, and
connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse.
If the electric supply provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recommended that a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
Your dishwasher circuit should not be used for any other appliance while the dishwasher is in
operation as the dishwasher requires the full capacity of the circuit.
If the wall socket you plug the dishwasher's power cord into is controlled by a switch, turn on the
switch.

If faucet has no threads: attach the faucet adapter to faucet, then tighten every screw of
the adapter. To prevent leaking your should tighten the adapter.

When Unicouple is all the way up onto the adapter, release the collar. It will then snap Into position to
lock the Unicouple in place. The Unicouple' s small hose carries water from the faucet to the dishwasher.
Its large hose carries drain water to the sink. Be sure Unicouple is pointing toward the sink bowl drain
opening and the sink drain is open for water that will drain from your dishwasher. If your dishwasher
drains into a disposer, operate the disposer until it is completely empty before starting the dishwasher.

3 Turn water fully on before starting the dishwasher.
A hose that attaches to a sink spray can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher. If your sink has one,
it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and hole plugged.

3 Release Unicouple from faucet by depressing the collar at the top of the Unicouple connector.
1 Remove the power cord plug from the wall socket.
2 Disconnect Unicouple from faucet adapter.

The water supply to the appliance can also be connected to the house hot water line(centralized system, heating
system),as long as it does not exceed a temperature of 60 C.
In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. The
connection must be made to the hot water line following the same procedures as those for the connection to the cold
water line.

If the sink is 34 inches or higher from the floor, the excess
water in Unicouple hoses cannot be drained directly
into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water
from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held
outside and lower than the sink.
