2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them

out of the reach of children.

4. When loading items to be washed:

- locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be

done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision and

local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide

adequate electrical service for this appliance.

Never use an extension cord.

When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply provides:

• An individual 120 Volt, 60Hz branch circuit serving only your dishwasher with a 15 AMP fuse

Your dishwasher must be grounded. If your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks down, grounding

will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS For a permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an

equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and then connected to

the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20 ~ 120 psi (140 ~ 830 kPa).

Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120 ˚F (49 ˚C) ~ 149 ˚F (65 ˚C).

Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply lines of various lengths up to 10 feet

You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

• Making water faucets easily accessible.

• Turning off faucets when the dishwasher is not in use.

• Periodically checking for leaks at water supply line fittings.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check all connections at the water supply valve

and faucets for leaks.

For safety, your dishwasher must be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor.

Never install your dishwasher on a platform or poorly supported structure.

Your dishwasher must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Guide before you use it.

USING DETERGENT All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment.

Add the correct amount of detergent for the selected cycle to ensure the best performance.

Use dishwasher detergent only. Regular detergent produces too much foam, which may decrease the

dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.

Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Avoid breathing in the fumes. Dishwasher detergent contains

irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce respiratory conditions. If you have swallowed

dishwasher detergent or inhaled the fumes, seek medical attention immediately.

Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling the detergent dispenser

1. Open the detergent dispenser fl ap by pushing the detergent

dispenser release catch.

The fl ap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.

2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main

wash detergent compartment.

3. Close the fl ap by sliding it to the left and then pressing it

4. For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt

items, pour a small amount (about 1/2 of an ounce or 15g)

of detergent onto the door.

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 door panel and other outer surfaces and cause stains. Do not

clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and avoid letting water come into contact with any of the

If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for

Home Appliances or 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 fi lling the detergent

dispenser with dishwasher soap, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using the Self Clean

option. To keep the cutlery pad clean, turn it over. This will keep your dishwasher clean.

If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Self Clean option with the dishwasher

empty and without detergent until it fl ushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white

vinegar into the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle fi nish.

Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).

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.

1. Pull the upper rack towards the front

2. Check whether the nozzle holes are

clogged by food particles.

3. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle.

4. To remove the nozzle, unfasten and remove

the nut, and then remove the nozzle.

STORING YOUR DISHWASHER If you need to store your dishwasher for an extended period of time, fi rst drain and disconnect it. If you

leave water in the hoses and internal components, you can damage the dishwasher.

After draining and disconnecting the dishwasher, be sure to turn off the water supply valve and circuit
