WARNING! HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
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.
i
osn
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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Power Cord Models
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. 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 in an accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING!
Oeprating
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 you modify the plug
provided with the appliance? If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Cable Direct
In
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.

WATER SOFTENER
There are two ways to reduce the water hardness: one way is by using water softener, the other is by
using detergent.
Safety
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the
water.

Loading the Salt into the Softener

Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:

If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water.
Place the end of the salt filter(supplied) into the hole and introduce about 2kg of
salt. It is normal for a small amount of water to come out of the salt container.
Carefully screw on the cap.

NOTE: 1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light comes on. Though the salt container is filled,

Adjusting Salt Consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption.
Unscrew the cap from the salt container.

There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see Figure to the side). If
necessary, rotate the ring in the counterclockwise direction from the "-" setting

DETERGENT DISPENSER
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle according to the instructions provided in the" Wash Cycle
Table". Our dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of
detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just
before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
Sfaety
I
n
Amount of Detergent to Use
surct
IF THE WATER ISN'T TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BY ADDING DETERGENT.
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need.
Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use little by little until you find the correct amount.

WARNING!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of the reach of children.
RINSE AID DISPENSER
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water
from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and
streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to "sheet"
off the dishes.
Tr
Our dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The
rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the
detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and
pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator
turns completely black. The dispenser holds about 100 ml of
liquid rinse aid.

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left)
arrow and lift it out.
Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not
to overfill.
Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow
and turning it to the "close" (right) arrow.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could
cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the
dishwasher door.
If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid as it may
cause a white film to develop on your dishes.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with
detergent, the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the
hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in lather or
foaming and can cause cloudiness or streaks on your dishes. If the water in
your area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute
Safety
the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set
on " 1 ". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse
aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "2". If the
dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next
higher number until your dishes are spot-free. We suggest the setting of "4".

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse aid warning light or the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by the following means. The
black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of
the black dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse
aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.

How to use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cup and saucers, as well
as plates, small bowls and lightly soiled shallow pans.
Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted for height by putting wheels of different height into the rails.
