Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all s. messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING." The words mean:

ADANGER

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: 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 wetting agents recommended use in a dishwasher and keep them out the reach children.
When loading items to be washed:

1. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to dant the door seal; and

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

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

4. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
5. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play 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 not flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
- Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

DISHWASHER MAINTENANCE AND CARE

User-Maintenance Instructions

Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with only a soft, damp and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, it may have a coating that is resistant to fingerprints. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior

Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue o dishwasher and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as ^5 affresh ^ + Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affeshishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions.

Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar. However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could da your dishwasher.

Place (do not pour) 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a small dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dryer to dry an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar was mixed with the wash water.

NOTE: We recommend the use of high-quality, premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dish cleaning and daily care.

If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dish not draining well.

To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

■ When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.
Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
- When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

Water Softening System

IMPORTANT: If you have hard water (above 15 grains) and have a whole house water softener, the water softener and heating element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation. In such instances of hard water, the water so in the dishwasher should be used.

The water softener reduces water hardness thereby reducing calcium buildup on the heater, inside the dishwasher, and o dishes. Soft water also allows your detergent to operate more efficiently. This system regenerates using salt, so it is nec

to keep the salt reservoir filled. The regeneration process can be as needed during a cycle to keep the water softener operating properly. The frequency of regeneration depends on the water hardness level setting. The water softener system is "OFF" if default from the factory, so if the water softener is to be used, the system must be set to "ON" by selecting a water hardness value using setting menu. See water hardness setting table.

Water Hardness Setting

Determine your water hardness by obtaining information from water quality report from your water supplier or purchase a hardness test kit at a hardware store.

The water softening system is turned off from the factory (hardness setting "0"). To turn on your water softener, you set the water hardness level in the "SETTING MENU" using hardness setting value from the following "WATER HARDNES TABLE". Once the system is turned on, the salt reservoir is filled with special dishwasher softener salt and water.

Water Hardness Table
Level Grains per gallon (gpg)		Parts per million (ppm)
0	Water softener off (factory setting)
1	0-6 0-100
2	6-12 100-200
3	12-18 200-300
4	18-36 300-600
5	>36 >600

Filling The Salt Reservoir

The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwesh. Clean the filters as shown. (under the lower rack on the left side). Once your water softener

system is turned on, you must fill the reservoir with dishwa softener salt and water. As the salt supply is used up with a successive system regenerations, a low-salt indicator will light the control panel indicating it's time to refill the salt. Once refilled, the light will turn off.

1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the reservoir cap (by, turning the cap counter-clockwise).

2. Position a funnel (comes along with your dishwasher) and fill the salt reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 0.5kg ); it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.

3. If filling the reservoir for the first time, it is also necessary to do not the reservoir with water after filling with salt. When refilling the salt, there is no need to add more water.

4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue away from the softener opening. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent or food can get into the reservoir during the dishwasher use (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

IMPORTANT: Run a cycle every time as soon as you complete the salt reservoir to avoid corrosion.

Cleaning the Filters

filter is very easy to remove and maintain the filters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

Recommended Time Interval to Clean Your Filter
Number of loads per week water	If you only scrape before loading*	If you scrape and rinse before loading	If you wash before loading
8-12 Every two must	two months	Every four months	Once per year
4the Every two S must be	wo months	Once per year	Once per year
1-3 Twice per year		Once per year	Once per year

*Manufacturer's recommendation: This practice will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes. This will also save you time and effort.

Very Hard Water

If you have hard water (above 15 grains) and you do not have whole house water softener system, be sure to turn on and use the water softener in the dishwasher. Also clean your filter at once per month. Building up of white residue on your dishwasher indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see the online "Troubleshooting" section.

NOTE: Online references can be found in the Quick Start Guid

Filter Removal Instructions

1. Turn the upper filter assembly 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out.
2. Separate the upper filter assembly by gently pulling apart.

Clean the filters as shown.

Cleaning Instructions

IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they more detailed instructions may damage the filters.

Rinse filter under running water until most soils are removed. Cleaning, watch the video by you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard scanning the QR code: water, a soft brush may be required.

Check Operation

■ Read the dishwasher Quick Start Guide that came with your dishwasher.
Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were skipped.

If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or unplug dishwasher and refer to the "If Dishwasher Does Not Operate" section.

If Dishwasher Does Not Operate

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cos a service call.

Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown?
■ Is the door closed tightly and latched?
Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?
■ Is the water turned on?

Amounted of these possible solutions work, refer to the contact information referenced in your Quick Start Guide.

Additional Tips

Hopeaplonger wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 20 hours per load but use nearly 40% less energy than older models. Designed with a low-wattage, low-energy-consumption motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water sensor, so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate the optica sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past 3.5 hours.

Rinse aid is necessary for good drying results:

This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good drying performance and controlling hard-water-deposit buildup. Energy-efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good dry performance.

Start/Resume light may flash:

When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is closed within 4 seconds. If you do not close the door within 4 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash until you press it again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.)

1. Remove the adhesive strips from the T-Gasket and attach to the top surface of custom access panel. Start along the left or right edge and continue along that edge.
2. Using a paper towel or cloth, press along the front surface of the T-Gasket to ensure it is flushed well.
