USING THE DISHWASHER

DETERGENT DISPENSER The detergent dispenser is located in the center of the dishwasher door. It has two compartments. The main wash compartment is found inside the detergent dispenser. To open, press the button on the side of the dispenser. The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Use the pre-wash compartment only when your water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is not used when tablet or packet detergents are used. NOTE: Do not load large items in the lower rack where they may block the wash jets from rinsing out the detergent dispenser. You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper detergents. Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their original container to prevent loss of effectiveness. Place detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher and then close the cover. The cover will open during the wash cycle.

FILLING THE DETERGENT

DISPENSER We recommend using detergent in tablet or packet form. Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Finish

is an example of this type of detergent. Simply put a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment and close the detergent cup cover. Please notice that the tablet or packet must be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. If the tablet or packet is placed in the prewash compartment or tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher, the detergent will be flushed down the drain in a very short period of time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will be very poor as a result. If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher. Contact your water company to get information about the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and the table above to determine the amount of detergent to use. You may purchase a hard water test strip from Haier Appliances. You can order through Haier Appliances Parts by visiting haierappliances.com/parts. In Canada, haiercanada.ca/parts. Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will provide great wash performance without wasting detergent or etching glassware. Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very hot water may cause a condition called etching on your glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.

DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet. Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored. While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated for automatic dishwashers. Number of Grains/Gal.

Features and appearance of racks and silverware baskets may vary from your model. UPPER RACK The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers. For best wash performance, tilt cup and glass openings toward the center of the rack. Other items such as pots, pans, and plates may be placed in the upper rack. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastic items. The upper rack can be used for odd sized utensils. Sauce pans, mixing bowls, and other similarly shaped items should be placed face down for best wash performance. Ensure small plastic items are secure so that they cannot fall on the heater at the bottom of the dishwasher, potentially damaging the item. Some models are equipped with a hidden heater, so dishwasher safe plastic items can be placed in the lower rack. IMPORTANT: Ensure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack or silverware basket where they will block the rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in noise during operation and/or poor wash performance.

USING THE DISHWASHER

BOTTLE JETS The Bottle Jets system is the ideal location to position baby bottles, tall sports bottles, or other tall items with narrow openings. The Bottle Jets clips hold bottles with small openings in place so water jets are directed inside the bottles to clean hard to reach areas. Clips can be installed or removed by simply slipping the clip opening over the top of the nozzle.Sports bottle held in place over a Bottle Jets clipBaby bottle held in place under a Bottle Jets clip Clip NozzleBottle JetsThe upper rack may be adjusted to accommodate larger items. To adjust the upper rack, fully extend the upper rack and lift the front of the rack so that the rack roller wheels clear the end hooks on the front of the rails. Continue to pull the rack until the remaining rack roller wheels clear the end hook. Select the set of rollers on the side of the rack that provides the desired height, and reinstall the upper rack by aligning the rack roller wheels on the end hook and rack rails – Ensure that there are roller wheels above and below the rack rails. Failure to properly align the wheels onto the end hook and rails may result in the rack falling from the dishwasher.Rail End Hook Rack Rollers Rail Rail End Hook Pull rack out, lift up and over rail end hooks, and pull out to removeUpper Rack To add flexibility in loading, the stem safe shelf may be placed in the up or down position or unfolded and placed in the lower unfolded position.

Once cleaned, replace the Fine Filter making sure it goes under the two rear retaining tabs. Replace the Ultra-Fine Filter.

PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING

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

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

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

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

Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

DOES YOUR DISHWASHER HAVE AN

AIR GAP? An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one. The air gap is easy to clean:

Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the air gap cover.

Remove the plastic cap under the cover and clean with a toothpick.

Replace the cap and cover when the air gap is clean. If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function or durability.
