If there is water in the base pan because of an overfill or small leak, the water should be removed before restarting the dishwasher. 5 YOU MAY NOT ADD TOO MUCH DETERGENT TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BECAUSE YOUR 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".Your 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. Button 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 dishwasher 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. To open the wash cover, press the button and the cover will flip back. 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. Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children. The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill. Indicator Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out. Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth. Replace the dispenser knob. Adjustable setting The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. Dispenser cap Remove the dispenser knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent. 6 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. 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 4 5 3 2 7 6 Cups Small serving bowl Large serving bowl Glasses Saucers Dish Plates 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. 1 2 3 4 5 4 2 3 3 1 7 Oval platter Dinner plates Soup plates Dessert dishes Silverware basket Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with handles at the bottom: If the rack has side baskets, the spoon should be loaded individually into the appropriate slots, Especially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper rack. Forks Knife Soup spoons Serving spoon Dessert spoons Gravy ladle Teaspoons Serving fork Do not let any item extend through bottom. 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 2 3 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 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. 3 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: 1 Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher. Remove fuses or trip circuit breaker. 4 Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve. 2 Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve. 5 Remove the plastic sump cover in the tub the bottom and use a sponge to soak up water in rubber boot. 3 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. 8 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 becauseof 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 recommened 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. 9 ' Fuse blown, or the circuit breaker acted Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other appliances sharing the same circuit with the dishwasher Power supply is not turned on Make sure the dishwasher is turned on and the door is closed securely. Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into the wall socket.. ' • Water pressure is low Check that the water supply is connected properly and the water is turned on. Overflow The system is designed to detect an overflow. When it does, it shuts off the circulation pump and turns on the drain pump. Some audible sounds are normal Sound from soft food shredding action and detergent cup opening. Utensils are not secure in the baskets or something small has dropped into the basket To ensure everything is secured in the dishwasher. Motor hums Dishwasher has not been used regularly. If you do not use it often, remember to set it to fill and pump out every week, which will help keep the seal moist. Improper detergent Use only the special dishwasher detergent to avoid suds. If this occurs, open the dishwasher and let suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher, then drain out the water by slowly turning the Dial until a drain period is reached. Repeat if necessary. Spilled rinse agent Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately. Detergent with colorant was used Make sure that the detergent is the one without colorant. Rinse agent dispenser is empty Make sure that the rinse agent dispense is filled. Improper program Select stronger program Improper rack loading Make sure that the action of the detergent dispenser and spray arms are not blocked by large dishware. Extremely hard water Low inlet water temperature Overloading the dishwasher Improper loading Old or damp powder detergent Empty rinse agent dispenser Incorrect dosage of detergent 10 • To remove spots from glassware: Take out all metal utensils out of the dishwasher. Do not add detergent. Choose the longest cycle. Start the dishwasher and allow it to run for about 18 to 22 minutes, then it will be in the main wash. Open the door to pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher. Close the door and let the dishwasher complete the cycle. If the vinegar does not work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml)of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar. Combination of soft water and too much detergent Use less detergent if you have soft water and select a shortest cycle to wash the glassware and to get them clean. Tea or coffee stains Using a solution of 1/2 cup of bleach and 3 cups warm water to remove the stains by hand. You have to wait for 20 minutes after a cycle to let the heating elements cool down before cleaning interior; otherwise, burns will happen. ' Iron deposits in water can cause an overall film You have to call a water softener company for a special filter. Hard water minerals To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with dishwasher detergent and wear rubber gloves. Never use any other cleaner than dishwasher detergent for the risk of foaming or suds. Dial is not in the OFF position Turn the Dial to OFF position and slide the door latch to the left. Dishes block detergent cups Re-loading the dishes properly. Normal phenomenon There is some steam coming through the vent by the door latch during drying and water draining. Aluminum utensils have rubbed against dishes Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate those marks. This is normal A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water seal lubricated. Overfill dispenser or rinse aid spills Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid dispenser. Spilled rinse aid could cause oversudsing and lead to overflowing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
