SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Warning! – To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3. Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

4. When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

1. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

2. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

3. Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

4. Do not tamper with controls.

5. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.

6. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

7. 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.

8. Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Black-and-white illustration of a hand with a lightning bolt symbol and curved line, no text or symbols present.

• Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve. Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing" in the "Dishwasher Care" section for winter storage information.
• Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the weight and in an area suitable for its size and use.
• Remove all shipping blocks and packaging before installing. See Installation Instructions for complete information.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher 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 for electric current. If the dishwasher is installed with a grounded power cord, it must have 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.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded.

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

Dishwasher Loading

LOADING SUGGESTIONS

- Remove and scrape leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard items from the dishes To conserve water and energy and save time, it is not necessary to rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash system is designed to remove food particles from the water. The wash system includes a chopping device which will reduce size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal when hard items enter the module. Do not let metallic items (such as pot handle screws) get into the wash module. Damage can occur.

• It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.
• Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping if possible. For best drying results, water must be able to drain from all surfaces.
• Load heavy pots and pans carefully. Heavy items can dent the stainless steel interior of the door if they are dropped or bumped.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.
• Conserve water, energy and save time spent hand-rinsing by running a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to wash them in the near future. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to dry over a period of time.

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

• Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.
• Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of the spray arm.
• Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs closed during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains.

LOADING TOP RACK

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses and smaller items, Many items, up to 9 in. (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See recommended loading patterns shown)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the drawings shown.

Illustration of a metal rack with circular trays and a grid, no text or symbols present

• Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and draining.
• Load glasses and cups in top rack only. The bottom rack is not designed for glasses and cups. Damage can occur.
• Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.
• To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. Small bowls, pans and other utensils can be placed in the top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

Cup and glass load

• China, crystal and other delicate items must not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.
• Load plastic items in the top rack only. Only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe" are recommended.
• Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move them during the cycle.

UTILITY SHELF WITH STEmGUARD (SOmE mODELS)

Your dishwasher may be equipped with 1 to 4 fold down Utility Shelves. Fold down the extra shelf on the left or right side of the top rack to hold additional cups, stemware or long items such as utensils and spatulas.

Mixed load

• Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.
• Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.
• Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet opening.

NOTE: Spin the spray arms. Be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.

FOLD-DOWN RACK and/or ADJUSTABLE TINES (some models)

Your model may be equipped with fold down or adjustable tines.

1. Grasp the tip of the tine that is in the tine holder.
2. Gently pull the tine out of the tine holder.
3. Lay the row of tines down or adjust as needed in the rack to make room for larger dishes, bowls, pots, pans or roasters.

- When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

Two abstract line drawings of stylized sticks or rods, one straight and one wavy, with no text or symbols present.

IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down. Be sure that nothing protrudes through bottom of the basket or rack that may block the wash arm.

NOTES:

- Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware in contact with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

- Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices, etc.), can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately. DO NOT WASH ALUMINUM COOKWARE IN YOUR DISHWASHER

Dishwasher Use

PROPER USE OF DETERGENT

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwasher. Cascade, Cascade Complete and Finish Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use in all Haier dishwashers. Detergents come in several forms - powders, liquids, gels, and single dose tabs . Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The small Pre-Wash section empties detergent into dishwasher when you close the door.

1 2 MIN 3 4

1. Cover latch
2. Main Wash section
3. Pre-Wash section
4. Cover

The larger Main wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash (See the "cycle Selection Charts")

• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
• Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse only cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the cover latch.

MIN

1. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How much detergent to use."

MIN

1. Fill the Pre-Wash section, if needed.

2. Close the dispenser cover.

Simple line drawing of a refrigerator with indicator lights and a circular dial (no text or symbols)

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the main wash section for cycles with 1 wash, See the "Cycle Selection Charts" for more details.

How much detergent to use

There are several factors that go into determining how much detergent that you should use per load. With a little practice you will be able to fine the type and amount you use to reach your desired results.

Water Hardness

Water hardness varies depending on your source. For the best results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a hardness of no more than 7 grains. Test kits are available from all major appliance parts retail outlets. If you have a hardness over 8 grains, you may consider to install a water softener or use an additive per load to enhance the performance of your detergent.

Soil level of load

Depending on how much soil is in your load, you may need to adjust the amount of detergent.

Water Hardness Amount of Detergent

Soft to Medium Hard Water0 to 6 grains per gallon	For normally soiled loadsPartially fill the Main Wash section with 4 tsp.Completely fill the Pre-Wash sectionNOTE: Fill the Pre-Wash section halfway if dishes are pre-rinsed or the water is very soft (0 to 3.2/12 2 grains per gallon)
	For heavily soiled loadsPartially fill the Main Wash section with 6 tsp.Completely fill the Pre-Wash section
Medium to hard water7 to 12 grains per gallon	For normal and heavily soiled loadsPartially fill the Main Wash section with 6 tsp.Completely fill the Pre-Wash section
Very Hard Water13 grains per gallon and aboveNOTE: It might be necessary to use the Pots and Pans, or a normal cycle with Hi- Temp Scrub, for best wash performance with very hard water.	For normally and heavily soiled loadsCompletely fill the main wash sectionCompletely fill the Pre-Wash sectionTurn the rinse aid dispenser to a higher setting. See "Rinse Aid Dispenser" later in this section

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instruction on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.

If you use detergent tablets, use one whole tablet in the Main Wash section only for all loads and water hardness levels.

RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

FILLING THE DISPENSER

The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145ml) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three months. Rinse aid is released through an opening in the dispenser. You do not need to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Open the dispenser by pushing the cover latch.

Diagram showing two labeled electrical or control panel layouts with icons and labels C and F

1. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.
2. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
3. Close the cover.

RINSE AID SETTING

The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For most water conditions, set the adjuster to 2 or 3. If there are rings or calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.

TO ADJUST THE SETTING

Open the dispenser cover. Turn the adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting.

CYCLE SELECTION CHARTS

(For all models except DWL7075)

Select the wash cycle and options desired. The dishwasher starts filling once the door is closed and you press a cycle, unless you select a delay wash. After filling, and a brief wash period, the machine will pause for a 5 minute energy saving soak interval. During this time, dried and baked on soil is softened for easier removal later in the cycle. You can select options as the machine is filling.

(For model 7075)

Select wash cycle and options desired and push the start key. After closing the door, the dishwasher will start filling, and after a brief wash period, the machine will pause for a 5 minute energy saving soak interval. During this time, dried and baked on soil is softened for easier removal later in the cycle. You can select options as the machine is filling.

A "●" shows what steps are in each cycle. Temperatures indicate where timer is paused while the dishwasher heats water to desired temperature. Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

This model meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.

Cycle times listed below are approximate only and will change with the selection of additional options, size of load and incoming water temperature. Soil level will also effect the cycle time of the AUTO and NORMAL cycles. Your dishwasher may not have all of these cycles. See section below concerning STEAM option.

Use for all soil types and dish loads. This cycle has additional checks for soil in the water to give added wash action time. The wash action will pause several times throughout the cycle, for up to 70 seconds, to check the soil level in the wash water.

Select a different option if desired.

You can change an option anytime before selected option begins. For example, you can press an unheated drying option anytime before drying begins.

Hi-Temp Wash

Select this option to heat the water during parts of the cycle. Higher water temperatures helps clean tough soils. Hi-Temp Wash, with the Pots & Pans or Normal cycles, raises the water temperature in the main wash.

This option adds heat, water and wash time to a cycle.

NOTE: Hi-Temp Wash is an option with the Pots & Pans and Normal cycles. Always use Hi-Temp Wash if you have hard water.

Sanitize Rinse Option

Select this option to raise the water temperature in the final rinse to approximately 160 F (71°C). The Sanitize Rinse Option adds heat and time to the cycle. This high temperature rinse sanitizes your dishes and glassware in accordance With NSF/ANSI standard 184 for Residential dishwasher. Certified residential dishwasher are not intended for licensed food establishments.

NOTE: Sanitize Rinse is an option with the Pots & Pans and Normal cycle. Only these sanitization cycles have been designed to meet the NSF/ANSI requirements.

HEATED DRY

Select this option to dry dishes with heat.

Not selecting heated dry skips the drying period. If the heated drying period is not selected the dishes take longer to dry and some spotting can occur. For best drying, always use a liquid rinse aid. Some items (such as plastics) may need towel drying.

NOTE: Heated Dry is an option with Pots and Pans Wash, Normal, Light and China/Crystal cycles. For faster air drying, you can open the door a couple of inches after the final rinse is complete.

STEAM OPTION (select models)

Use for all dish loads, including extra large loads. Steam is generated early in the cycle to help wet baked on soils from dish load and soften it for easier removal by the wash system. The steam cycle raises the temperature in the final rinse to 150^ F ( 66^ C). If the STEAM option is desired, it must be turn on prior to or within 10 seconds of the machine starting. If the STEAM option is not wanted after the machine has run more than 10 seconds, the cycle must be cancelled and started over.

NOTE: This option can be used with all cycles except Rinse and Hold and Speed cycle.

DELAY HOURS (select models)

You can add items to the load anytime during the delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it latches.

DWL3525 - push once for a 6 hour delay

DWL4035 - push once for each hour of delay up to 9 hours

DWL7075 - push once to cycle between 3, 6 or 9 hours of delay

You can delay the start of a cycle up to 9 hours in 3 hour increments (3, 6, or 9 Hr)

To delay the start

1. Open the door
2. Repeatedly press "Delay Hours until you see the desired hours of delay lighted in LED indicator on the left. When the delay reaches 9 hours, the delay turns off. Press "Delay Hours" again to select a new number of delay hours.
3. Select a wash cycle and options
4. Close the door

NOTE: To cancel the delay and cycle, press Cancel. To Cancel the delay and start the cycle immediately, press Delay Start until there is no light in any of LED indicators on the left.

Wash System

An energy saving soak interval is used for most cycles shortly after the initial water fill. During the 5 minutes of soaking, dried and baked on food is loosened without using energy. Later in the cycle the robust wash action removes the softened food more efficiently. The six-level wash system provides excellent cleaning results. Three levels of filtration and a soil collector system filter the wash water and prevent food particles from redepositing on the clean dishes.

- The wash water continuously flows through the filter, trapping food particles.

Mechanical gear assembly diagram showing a rotating shaft and cam mechanism (no text or labels)

• Two water jets, located under the spray arm, remove the food particles from the filter.
• A coarse strainer prevents bones, pits, and other large objects from entering the pump system.

NOTE: Periodically check the bottom of the tub and remove any objects on the strainer.

Drying System

During drying, you can see hot vapor escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent.

DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning

Cleaning the exterior

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or create suds.

To clean interior

Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp sponge and clean.

OR

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp sponge.

OR

See the vinegar rinse procedure in "spotting and filming on dishes" in "Troubleshooting."

NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the interior without any dishes.

DRAIN AIR GAP

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn't draining well. Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your dishwasher from water backing up into it.

Troubleshooting

Try the solutions suggested here first and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

DISHWASHER IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY

- Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle

It is normal for most cycles to pause for 5 minutes near the start of a cycle to let the dishes soak. This reduces energy required to clean the dishes.

Is the door closed tightly and latched?

Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the Cycle Selection charts.

Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?

Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.

Is the water shut-off valve (If installed) turned on?

Is it normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for 15 to 65 seconds during the main wash.

- Dishwasher will not fill

Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.

• Dishwasher seems to run too long

Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The dishwasher runs longer while heating water Refer to the "Dishwasher Performance Tips" section.

A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles until the water reaches the proper temperature.

• Water remains in the dishwasher

Is the cycle complete and not in a pause?

It is normal to have a small amount of clean water around the outlet in the bottom of the tub, to keep the water seal lubricated.

If the drain hose is connected to a food waste disposer, make sure the dispenser is empty.

Make sure the knockout plug has been removed from the food waste disposer.

Check to see if the drain hose is kinked.

- Detergent remains in the covered section of the dispenser

Is the cycle complete?

Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary.

Was a dish item blocking the dispenser?

• Water residue on the front of the access panel

Was too much detergent used? Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.

• Odor in the dishwasher

Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle once or twice a day until you have a full load.

Does the dishwasher have an unpleasant smell? Run a vinegar rinse as described in "Spotting and filming on dishes" later in this troubleshooting guide.

- Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)

Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.

Dishes are not completely clean

• Food soil left on the dishes

Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the "Dishwasher Loading" section. Did you choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil in your dishwasher? If you have some items with heavier soils, use a heavier cycle.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 120^ F ( 49^ C) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher Performance Tips" section.

Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Never use less than 1 tb (15g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.

Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and cans? If you wash bottles and cans in your dishwasher, check for labels clogging the pump or spray arm.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.

Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Never use soap or laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.

SPOTS AND STAINS ON DISHES

- Spotting and filming on dishes

Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled. Always use a high-temp option. If your water hardness is 13 grains or above, it is strongly recommended that you install a home water softener if you do not wish to drink softened water, have the softener installed onto your hot water supply.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 120^ F ( 49^ C) as it enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher Performance Tips" section.

Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the "Detergent Dispenser" section. Never Use less than 1 tb (15g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kpa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low.

NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for occasional use only vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy saving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items.

2. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack.

3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

- Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-colored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware. This is usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to prevent the problem, except by hand washing.

To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and under load the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do not use heated drying.

- White spots on cookware with non-stick finish

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the dishwasher.

- Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior

Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes Using 1 - 3 tsp (5-15 ml) of citric acid crystals added to the covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent. Follow with a Normal wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more often than every other month, the Installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

- Black or gray marks on dishes

Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing? Disposable aluminum items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking, Hand wash these items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.

- Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior

Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher? It may be necessary to use a stain removal product to remove stains from your dishwasher. Stains will not affect dishwasher performance.

DISHES DO NOT DRY COMPLETELY

- Dishes are not dry

Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water drainage?

Do not overload. Refer to the "Dishwasher Loading" section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying.

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.

Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the "Rinse Aid Dispenser" section.

Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving dry option? Use a heated drying option for dryer dishes.

DISHES ARE DAMAGED DURING A CYCLE

- Chipping of dishes

Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and out slowly.

NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic dishwashing. Wash by hand.

NOISES

- Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds

A hard object or powder detergent granulates have entered the wash module. When the object is ground up, the sound should stop.
