Proper Installation: Please install your dishwasher properly by following the installation guide. Water supply inlet temperature should be between 120°F and 149°F. Dispose of discarded appliances and packing materials properly. The dishwasher must be properly grounded to avoid electric shock. If there is any damage to the dishwasher, please contact your dealer. Basic Precautions Before Use: Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. The manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this manual. When loading items, arrange sharp items and knives to reduce the risk of personal injury. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe. If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, ensure the disposer is completely empty before running the dishwasher. Do not tamper with controls or operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly placed. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
- Page 4: Do not let children hit, sit or stand on the door or racks of the 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. Before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow for several minutes to release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children. Keep young children and infants away from the dishwasher while it is operating. Do not use the dishwasher if it has a damaged power line or plug, and do not plug it into a damaged outlet. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
- Page 5: Features of your new dishwasher include various components such as the lock, cup shelf, upper basket, upper spray arm, cutlery basket, lower basket, heating element, and rinse aid dispenser.
- Page 6: Filter system includes three mesh filters that separate soiled and clean water. The multiple filter system enhances performance while using less water and energy. Smart wash system automatically adjusts the wash cycle based on the load's soil level. A short wash cycle is performed for lightly soiled dishes, while a heavy wash is for heavily soiled dishes. The dishwasher cleans by spraying hot water and detergent through spray arms. Water fills the dishwasher, covering the filter area before being pumped through the system. Soil particles are separated and drained as water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills varies depending on the selected cycle.
- Page 7: Getting started involves several steps. Load the dishwasher and refer to the dish preparation and loading sections. Add detergent and consult the filling the detergent dispenser section. Add rinse aid by checking the filling the rinse aid dispenser section. Select the desired cycle and refer to the cycle chart. Select desired options and note that the indicator light will glow when selected. Run the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher until the water is hot, then turn it off. To start, press Start/Cancel and then close the door. This model is embedded operation, meaning all buttons can only be operated in the open state. Cycle times are approximate and will vary with the options selected.
- Page 8: Status indicators include rinse detergent needs to be refilled, program end, and water failure if the faucet is not open. The heating dry function activates the heater during the drying process but is not available with rinse cycles. The sanitize function maintains water temperature at a maximum of 69°C (156.2°F) and is available with heavy, normal, and ECO cycles. The hi temp wash function maintains water temperature at a maximum of 60°C (140°F) and is available with heavy, normal, ECO, and glass cycles. The energy save function reduces energy consumption during the washing process and is available with heavy and normal cycles. The status window displays the number of delay start hours if the delay start option is selected. After the machine operates, the remaining time of the selected cycle is shown in the status window. In critical situations, the control will shut down and indicate an error code. If error codes are displayed, contact the dealer or servicer for assistance. The remaining time may fluctuate as the smart sensor checks the soil level to determine water needs.
- Page 9: User maintenance is essential for improving dishwasher performance and longevity. Cleaning the exterior should be done promptly with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals. For stainless steel door panels, use a stainless steel cleaner with a soft cloth. The interior should be cleaned periodically to remove dirt and food particles. Running the dishwasher empty with detergent helps maintain cleanliness. If odors persist, use white vinegar in an empty cycle to eliminate them. Do not remove the tub front seal or touch the heating element during or after use. Cleaning the filters is an important maintenance step. Always turn off the dishwasher before performing maintenance tasks. Regular maintenance reduces unnecessary repairs and extends the life of the appliance.
- Page 10: Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and detach the filter insert. Remove the fine filter. Remove any dirt or other remains from the filters, and then rinse them under running water. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the disassembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow. If the filter is not closed properly, its performance will be decreased.
