IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
- Do not abuse, sit on, stand on or place any heavy objects on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher when it is open. The appliance could tip forward.
- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is operating, there is a risk of water squirting out.
- When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
2) Warning: Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.
- Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
- Use only detergent and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher.
- Never use soap, laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products out of the reach of children.
- Keep children away from detergent and rinse aid. Keep children away from the open door of the dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left inside.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.)
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play in or on a dishwasher.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- 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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
- Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline, they can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
- The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazards.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
- Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
- Dispose of packing materials properly.
- Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
- During installation, the power supply must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened. Do not tamper with controls.
- The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose sets and that old hose-sets should not be reused.
- The maximum number of place settings to be washed is 8.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The appliance must be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED APPLIANCE RATED LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be connected to a grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated below. The use of a temporary adaptor is not recommended.

natural_image

POWER SUPPLY CORD
- Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman to install an outlet near the appliance.
- If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cord, extreme care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
b) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard - Disconnect electrical power before installing dishwasher.
Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

CAUTION: The installation of the pipes and electrical equipment should be done by professionals.
The installation position of dishwasher should be near the existing inlet and drain hoses and power cord.
One side of the cabinet sink should be chosen to facilitate the connection of drain hoses of the dishwasher.
Position the appliance in the desired location. The back should rest against the wall behind it, and the sides, along the adjacent cabinets or wall. The dishwasher is equipped with water supply and drain hoses that can be positioned to the right or the left to facilitate proper installation.

WARNING: DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUND CONNECTION FROM THE POWER CORD.

WARNING - RISK OF FIRE
It is important the plug fits tightly into the wall outlet. If the plug does not fit securely and appears loose, it should not be used. Have a licensed electrician replace the receptacle.
SET UP & USE
PARTS & FEATURES

SET UP & USE
WATER CONNECTION
Your dishwasher comes equipped with a 'quick connect' assembly (includes inlet and drain hose). The faucet adapter must be installed on the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher. This adapter is included inside your dishwasher. The faucet adapter is compatible with faucets inclusive of either male (outside) or female (inside) threaded faucet connections.


WARNING: In order to avoid that there is more water staying in the inlet hose, please close the faucet after using.
- Screw the faucet adapter onto (or into) the faucet tap. Check for leaks (use Teflon tape to eliminate if necessary).
- Connect the six-sided connection of the drain hose to the drain port connection on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).
- Connect the star-shaped connection of the inlet hose to the inlet port on the back of the dishwasher cabinet. Do not over-tighten (to avoid damage to threads).
- Connect the circular connection of the drain hose onto the longer (bottom) male connection on the quick connect.
- Connect the circular connection of the inlet hose onto the shorter (top) male connection on the quick connect.
- Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter, by pulling down the outer locking collar on the quick connect, while pushing the quick connect upward onto the faucet adapter.

- When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the locking collar. Verify the connection is secure.
- Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leaks at all hose connections. If leaks are located, immediately close the water supply and repair the hose connections.
SET UP & USE
To Disconnect the Quick Connect Assembly
- Turn off hot water.
- Relieve water pressure from the quick connect assembly before disconnecting it from the faucet by depressing the red pressure relief button.
- Depress the locking collar and remove the quick connect from the faucet.
CONNECT THE DRAIN HOSE
Insert the end of the drain hose into the drain outlet located at the back of the unit. The other end of the hose should be positioned using one of the following methods:
A. Over the edge of a wash basin. Secure the guide to the side of the basin wall with a hook tap with a piece of string to prevent the drain hose from moving.
B. In a laundry tub. The laundry tub should not be higher than 39 in. (100cm). Wash basins should not be over 39 in. (100cm).
C. In a standpipe. The standpipe should not be longer than 39 in. (100cm).
D. Insert the drain hose into a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 1.5 inches (4 cm).


NOTE: Avoid bending or crimping the drain hose. The free end of the hose must not be immersed in water to avoid backflow. If you need a drain hose extension, make sure to use a similar drain hose. It must not be longer than 13 feet (4 meters) otherwise the dishwasher will not drain properly.
SET UP & USE
IMPORTANT!
- Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized.
- To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, (make sure the water line (faucet) is closed): press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops.

WARNING: FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE
DISCONNECTING THE QUICK-CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMING WATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.

DANGER: DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.
NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to 'lime' (white film substance) deposits and/or 'scaling' on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.
DISCONNECTING YOUR DISHWASHER
- Shut off the water supply at the faucet.
- Disconnect the power supply cord.
START OF DISHWASHER
The following things should be checked before starting the dishwasher:
- The dishwasher is level and fixed properly.
- The inlet valve is open.
- There is a leakage at the connections of the connectors.
- The wires are tightly connected.
- The power is switched on.
- The inlet and drain hoses are not knotted.
- All packing materials and printings should no be taken out from the dishwasher.

RINSE AID DISPENSER
Rinse Aid improves drying, eliminating spots and streaks on your glasses and dishes. It is automatically released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser.

WARNING: Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances. (Examples: Liquid Detergent or other soap). This would damage the appliance.
REFILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
When the Rinse Aid symbol is illuminated on the control panel, it indicates that the rinse aid dispenser requires a refill.
If the rinse-aid warning light in the control panel in not illuminated, you can check the amount of rinse-aid in the dispenser by the color of rinse aid indicator next to the cap. When the rinse-aid dispenser is full, the circular indicator will be dark. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of the dark circle decreases as shown below. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.
Full 3/4 full 1/2 full 1/4 full Empty
○
To fill the dispenser:
- Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise.
- Carefully pour in the rinse-aid into its dispenser, while avoiding overflow.
- Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.
Note: clean any spilled or excessive rinse aid to avoid excessive foaming when the dishwasher is in use.
The rinse aid dispenser has four settings. "1" selects the smallest amount or rinse aid, while "4" releases the largest amount of rinse aid that is released during the rinse cycle. The recommended setting is on "3". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to a higher number. If there are sticky white stains or a bluish film on glassware or silverware adjust the dial to a lower setting.

SET UP & USE

SET UP & USE
STARTING A WASH CYCLE
- Pullout the dishwasher racks, load the dishes and push the racks back in.
- Add Detergent and Rinse Aid as needed.
- Insert the plug into the socket. The power supply is 120V/60 Hz.
- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
- Close the door and press the POWER button to turn on the dishwasher
- Choose a wash program and the corresponding indicator light will turn on.
- Press the Start/Cancel button, the dishwasher begins to start.
NOTE: When you press the Start/Pause button to pause during washing, the display time will stop blinking and the program will pause and remain this cycle till you restart it again.
SET UP & USE
CHANGE THE PROGRAM
You can modify the washing program, when the dishwasher just runs for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent may have already been released, and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled (see the section entitled “Loading the Detergent”).
To change the washing program, press the program button more than three seconds the machine will be in stand by state, then you can change the program to the desired cycle setting (see the section entitled “Starting a wash cycle”)
NOTE: If you open the door when washing, the machine will pause. When you close the door, you need press start/pause button to keep the machine working.
FORGOT TO ADD A DISH
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens.
- Press the start/pause button.
- Open the door slightly to stop the wash cycle.
- After the spray arms stop working, you can open the door completely.
- Add forgotten dishes.
- Close the door.
- Press the start/pause button, the dishwasher will run after 10 seconds.
AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE
When the working cycle has finished, the buzzer of dishwasher will sound 8 seconds, then stop. Turn off the appliance using the ON/OFF button, shut off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better. Since the appliance is standing by, it will power off automatically after 30 minutes without any operation.
Switch Off the Dishwasher
All the phase lights are off, only in this case, the program has ended.
- Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
- Turn off the water tap!
- Allow time for your dishes to dry before opening the door.
Condensing Drying Method Your dishwasher uses a non-vented drying method. After the final rinse the water is pumped out and the unit shuts off. The remaining water on the hot dishes will eventually evaporate, condense and run off into the bottom of the unit. To ensure that your dishes dry well, it is highly recommended that a rinse aid be used. Be advised that items such as cups and glasses, which have a concave bottom, may retain droplets of water.
Open the door carefully Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down around 15 minutes before removing from the appliance. Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. In this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
Unloading the dishwasher It is normal that the dishwasher is wet inside.

WARNING: It is dangerous to open the door when washing, because the hot water may scald you.
CLEANING & CARE
FILTERING SYSTEM
The filter prevents larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat (Main filter) and a micro filter (fine filter).
Coarse Filter - Larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass, that could block the drain are trapped in the coarse filter. To remove the items caught by the filter, gently squeeze the tap on the top of this filter and lift out.
Main Filter - Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are pulverized by a special jet on the spray arm and washed down to drain.
Fine Filter - This filter holds soil and food residue in the sump area and prevents it from being deposited on the dishes during wash cycle.
Note: Images are for illustration purposes only and may differ slightly depending on model purchased.

FILTER ASSEMBLY
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned regularly. It is recommended to remove the larger food particles trapping in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter and cup under running water. Lift out the filter assembly to remove it.
CLEANING & CARE

WARNING: Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Rotate the filter assembly counter clockwise to unlock it and lift out.

Remove the fine filter from the bottom of the filter assembly. Detach the coarse filter from the main filter by gently squeezing the tabs at the top and lifting it off.

Remove any food particles and clean filters by rinsing under running water. A soft brush can be used if needed.
Replace the filter assembly in reverse order as the removal.
Re-insert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning in its seat, rotating clockwise until it locks into the closed position as shown.
Check the filters for clogs and debris after each use of the dishwasher.


WARNING: Handle filters carefully when cleaning. If the filters become damaged or dented it could effect the performance of the dishwasher.
NOTE: The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.
NOTE: Images are for illustration purposes only and may differ slightly depending on model purchased.
CLEANING & CARE
CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER
The control panel can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly.
Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
CLEANING THE DOOR
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp cloth. To avoid penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

natural_image

WARNING: Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.
Abrasive agent or some paper towel should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
PROTECT AGAINST FREEZING
Please take frost protection measures on dishwasher in winter. Each time after washing cycles, please operate as follows:
- Cut off electrical power to the dishwasher.
- Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
- Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water)
- Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
- Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to use up water in sump.
NOTE: If your dishwasher cannot work because of the ice, please contact professional service persons.
NOTE: If your dishwasher is not operating because of ice or frost accumulation please call for service.
CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS
The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded. Grasp the middle of the spray arm, pull it upwards to remove it. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms have been installed correctly and turn freely.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbolsMAINTAINING THE DISHWASHER
- After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
- Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket.
- To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Only use a cloth with warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water with a little vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers.
- It is recommend that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly open. This will help the door seals to last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.
- If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the vertical position. If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned on its back.
- One of the factors that cause odors to form in the dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals. Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this from occurring.
