USER MANUAL MDF24P1BWW MIDEA

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 appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug if provided with the appliance. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. For a grounded, cord-connected appliance: 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 for electric current. If 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. 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 connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

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

When loading items to be washed:

Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut- type injuries.

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.

Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

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

Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.Ć "!05ƫ.!10%+*/,!.0%*#ƫ!-1%.!)!*0/.0/ƫ* ƫ!01.!/0.0ƫ,ƫ1% !

Do not tamper with controls.

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

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

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.

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.

Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line or plug, and do not plug the dishwasher into a damaged outlet. Failure to observe these instructions may result in electrical shock.

If you have soft water and use too much detergent, glassware will etch. Water Hardness Water hardness varies depending on your water source. For the best results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. Test kits are available from all major appliance parts retail outlets. If your water has a hardness over 8 grains per gallon, you may consider installing a water softener or regularly use an additive to enhance the performance of your detergent. ƫƫƫƫ Rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. A small amount of the rinse aid is released into the final rinse water, which allows water to drain from the dishes. Rinse aid greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse. Your dishwasher is designed to use a LIQUID rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.

Under normal conditions, you will need to fill the rinse aid dispenser approximately once a month. 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.

Home water pressure is too low to fill dishwasher properly. Water pressure to the home should be 20 to 80 psi (138 to 552 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is too low. Silica film or etching Using too much detergent If you have soft water use less detergent, but do not use less than 1 Tbsp. (15 g) per load. The inlet water temperature exceeds 150°F (65°”C). Lower the incoming water temperature. Black or gray marks on dishes Aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing. Disposable aluminum items can break down in the dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash aluminum items. Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner. Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior Large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in the dishwasher. Use a stain removal product to remove stains from your dishwasher. Stains will not affect dishwasher performance. ƫƫƫƫ

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Dishes are not completely dry NOTE: Plastics often need towel drying. Dishes are not loaded properly to allow water drainage. Do not overload dishwasher. Place glasses and cups in the rack so that the bottom surface is slanted to allow water to run off. Rinse Aid not used or dispenser is empty. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying and keep the dispenser full. Used an air dry or energy-saving option. For dryer dishes, select a Cycle that allows a Heated Dry option.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

Dishes are chipped NOTE: Some types of china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic dish washing. Wash by hand. Dishes not loaded properly.

IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. (a) Parties: This arbitration clause (this “Arbitration Clause”) affects your rights against Midea and any of its affiliates or employees or agents, successors, or assigns, all of whom together are referred to below as “we” or “us” for ease of reference. (b) ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT: EXCEPT AS STATED BELOW, ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ANY OF US SHALL BE DECIDED BY NEUTRAL, BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT OR BY JURY TRIAL. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable by law. It includes any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to your purchase of this Product, any warranty upon the Product, or the Product’s condition. It also includes determination of the scope or applicability of this Arbitration Clause. The arbitration requirement applies to claims in contract and tort, pursuant to statute, or otherwise. (c) CLASS-ARBITRATION WAIVER: ARBITRATION IS HANDLED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. IF A DISPUTE IS ARBITRATED, YOU AND WE EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST US OR WE AGAINST YOU, OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. YOU AND WE ALSO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. (d) Discovery and Other Rights: Discovery and rights to appeal in arbitration are generally more limited than in a lawsuit. This applies to both you and us. Other rights that you or we would have in court may not be available in arbitration. Please read this Arbitration Clause and consult the rules of the arbitration organizations listed below for more information. (e) SMALL CLAIMS COURT OPTION: YOU MAY CHOOSE TO LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ANY OF US IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, IF THE DISPUTE MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS TO BE HEARD IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT. (f) Governing Law: For residents of the United States, the procedures and effect of the arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) rather than by state law concerning arbitration. For residents of Canada, the procedures and effect of the arbitration will be governed by the applicable arbitration law of the province in which you purchased your Product. The law governing your substantive warranty rights and other claims will be the law of the state or province in which you purchased your Product. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitration award.39 (g) Rules of the Arbitration: If the amount in controversy is less than $250,000, the arbitration will be decided by a single arbitrator. If the amount in controversy is greater than or equal to $250,000, the arbitration will be decided by a panel of three arbitrators. The arbitrator(s) will be chosen pursuant to the rules of the administering arbitration organization. United States residents may choose JAMS (1920 Main Street, Ste. 300, Irvine, CA 92614, www.jamsadr.com), or, subject to our approval, any other arbitration organization. In addition, Canadian residents may choose the ADR Institute of Canada (234 Eglinton Ave. East, Suite 405, Toronto, Ontario, M4P 1K5, www.amic.org). These organizations’ rules can be obtained by contacting the organization or visiting its website. If the chosen arbitration organization’s rules conflict with this Arbitration Clause, the provisions of this Arbitration Clause control. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on all parties. (h) Location of the Arbitration Hearing: Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the arbitration hearing for United States residents will be conducted in the federal judicial district in which you reside (in your hometown area) or, for Canadian residents, in the province in which you reside, and, if you choose, will be in-person. (i) Costs of the Arbitration: Each party is responsible for its own attorney, expert, and other costs and fees unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, and unless applicable law requires otherwise, if you are a consumer under the JAMS rules or the rules of another agreed upon arbitration administrator, Midea will pay or reimburse you for all reasonable fees or costs to the extent required by law or the applicable arbitration administrator’s rules. Whether or not required by law or such rules, if you prevail at arbitration on any claim against Midea, Midea will reimburse you for any reasonable fees paid to the arbitration administrator in connection with the arbitration proceedings. Under no circumstances will Midea seek from you payment or reimbursement of any reasonable fees that Midea incurs in connection with the arbitration. If you are required to advance any fees or costs to JAMS or other agreed upon arbitration administrator, but you ask Midea to do so in your stead, Midea will consider and respond to your request. (j) Survival and Enforceability of this Arbitration Clause: This Arbitration Clause shall survive the expiration or termination, or any transfer, of the warranty on your Product. If any part of this Arbitration Clause, except waivers of class-action rights, is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this clause and the warranty shall remain enforceable. If, in a case in which class-action allegations have been made, the waiver of class-action rights under this warranty is found to be unenforceable with respect to any part of the dispute, the parts of the dispute as to which the waiver of class-action rights have been found unenforceable will be severed and will proceed in court without reference or application of this Arbitration Clause. Any remaining parts will proceed in arbitration. QUEBEC RESIDENTS The arbitration provisions of this warranty shall not apply to residents of Quebec.
