• Page 8: Operation Loading 12 place settings Non-dishwasher safe items may be damaged by high water temperature and dishwasher detergents. Do not wash copper or anodized aluminum, hand-painted silver or gold leaf china, wood or bone handled utensils, iron or non-rustproof utensils, plastic items not dishwasher safe, sterling silver or gold-plated flatware, or fragile items like crystal glasses. Do not place pots or pans with plastic handles in the appliance. For best cleaning results, use the top separators in the basket when loading silverware to prevent nesting. Load sharp items, such as knives, pointing down. When unloading the dishwasher, start with the silverware basket to prevent water droplets from falling on your silverware. The silverware basket has separators to avoid scratching and tarnishing of delicate silverware. Be careful when loading and unloading sharp items. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of personal injury.
• Page 9: Operation Loading 12 place settings Lower rack loading tips: - Plates should be positioned upright and facing the center of the rack, and pots, pans, and large dishes must be turned upside down. - Load dinner plates, dishes, soup bowls, etc. between the tines. - Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides or back of the rack. - Make sure that pot handles and other large items do not stop the rotation of the spray arms. - The lower rack should not be used for small items such as cups, wine glasses, or small plates. - Make sure that large items do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms and do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening. Loading pots and bowls Folding down the lower tines
• Page 10: Operation Loading the upper rack Loading dishes into the upper rack Silverware basket ships installed at the back of the bottom rack. For best performance, install it along the right side. Upper rack loading tips: Place cups and glasses in the rows between the rack tines to avoid breakage and water spots. To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. Place items so that the open end faces down for cleaning and drying. Do not stack items on top of each other. Use the upper rack for small or delicate items such as small plates, cups, saucers, glasses, and dishwasher-safe plastic items. Cups, glasses, and bowls must be positioned upside down. Make sure items do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms above and below the upper rack.
• Page 11: Operation It is necessary to remove the cutlery rack if one is present. Locate the assembly slot on the cup rack, align the slot with the bar, and firmly pop the rack off the support bar on that side. The rack on the left pops free at the back. The rack on the right pops free at the front. This feature is only available on some models. Extra cups or cooking utensils can be laid on the fold down cup racks, which also provide support for long-stemmed glasses. The cup racks can be folded up out of the way for tall glasses. Follow the instructions in reverse to replace the cup rack. The left and right cup racks are interchangeable and can be removed. Slide the cup rack down into its closed position. Fold tines down to fit larger dishes; pull tines back up to fit smaller dishes.
• Page 12: Operation Loading dishes & pots Height adjustable upper rack The upper rack adjusts up and down. Raise the upper rack to allow items up to 14 tall in the lower rack. Lower the upper rack to allow dishes up to 12 tall in the upper rack. There are three available positions for adjusting the height of the upper rack. Before adjusting, ensure the rack is empty of all dishes. Raise the upper rack without pushing the buttons on each side. To set the rack to the middle position, it may be easier to lower the rack all the way down.
• Page 13: Operation Raising the rack involves lifting the rack at the center of each side until it locks into place in the upper position. To replace the rack, place the back rack supports behind the rear hooks and pull the rack forward to snap the supports into the hooks. Removing the snap-in gliding upper rack is only available on some models. Loading the cutlery rack is best suited for flatware, with separators helping to keep flatware separated to avoid damage. The snap-in upper rack should only be removed for servicing, and gloves should be worn to avoid personal injury. For best cleaning performance, place flatware in the silverware baskets. Heavily soiled utensils or items with baked-on foods should be placed in the middle rack or spoon basket for best performance. To remove the front rack supports from the rails, push the front hooks open with a flat-blade screwdriver while pulling the front of the rack up. To remove the back rack supports from the rails, hold a side rail with one hand, lift the front of the rack, and firmly push the rack.
• Page 14: Operation Loading 10 place settings Removing the cutlery rack can create more space on the upper rack for larger items. Always remove the cutlery from the rack before removing the rack. Be careful when loading and unloading items with sharp edges. Do not place bowls in the center of the cutlery rack to avoid leakage. Folding down the cutlery tines allows for fitting flatware. The height adjustable tray can accommodate utensils or cutlery of different sizes. Remove dishes before adjusting the tray. The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.
• Page 15: Operation Put detergent into the detergent compartment before starting any cycle, except the Rinse cycle. Using liquid rinse aid improves drying performance by allowing water to drain off of dishes after the final rinse. Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash cycles as they may not dissolve completely. Dishwasher detergent and rinse aid contain chemical components and must be kept out of the reach of children. Using a wash booster helps remove spots, residue, and the white film caused by hard water. Use only detergent intended for dishwashers to avoid excessive suds and potential leaks. Add dishwashing detergent to the main wash compartment until the level is between the lines marked 15 and 25. After completion of the wash program, check whether the detergent was completely washed out. Some dishwasher detergent tablets may become stuck in the dispenser due to their excessive size. If dishwasher detergent tablets are used without liquid rinse aid, select the Extra Dry option for better drying performance.
• Page 16: Operation Adding rinse aid to the dispenser is necessary when the rinse aid refill LED appears in the display. The use of rinse aid is recommended to prevent water spots on dishes and to enhance drying performance. Close the lid to lock the dispenser; rinse aid is dispensed automatically during the final rinse cycle. Only use liquid rinse aid in the dishwasher and do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser. Wipe off any spilled rinse aid around the dispenser. The rinse aid dispenser has five adjustment levels, factory set at level 2. Adjust the setting higher if you have hard water to avoid calcium buildup on dishes. Setting the rinse aid control too low can lead to spotting and streaking on dishes. Setting the control too high can cause foaming, resulting in poor wash performance. Ensure the appliance is off before entering the option setting mode.
• Page 17: Operation Press Extra Dry to change the rinse aid dispenser setting. Each press of the button changes the setting one step from L0 to L4. Once the desired rinse aid dispenser setting is selected, press Start to save. How often the dispenser needs to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used. The Rinse Aid Refill LED flashes when more rinse aid is needed, unless the rinse aid dispenser setting is set to L0.

• Page 22: MAINTENANCE To maintain performance and prevent trouble, it is important to check the outside and inside of the dishwasher, including filters and spray arms, at regular intervals. WARNING When cleaning the outside and inside of the dishwasher, do not use benzene or thinner. Otherwise, it may cause fire or explosion. To prevent injury during care and maintenance or cleaning, wear gloves and/or protective clothing. Cleaning the Exterior Do not use scrub pads or abrasive cleaners on the exterior of the dishwasher. Remove all dishes from the appliance. Add 3 tbsp. (40 g) of citric acid to the detergent dispenser or follow the manufacturer’s instructions if using a dishwasher cleaning agent. Run the Machine Clean cycle once a month, or more often if needed, to remove detergent buildup and other residue. If you have not used the dishwasher for a long time, refresh the inside by running the Machine Clean cycle without detergent. Cleaning the Interior Clean the interior of the dishwasher periodically with a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove food and dirt particles. Check the drain air gap or in-sink disposal if the dishwasher is not draining well. To remove white spots and odor from inside the dishwasher, run an empty cycle, without detergent, with one cup of white vinegar in a dishwasher safe glass or bowl placed on the upper rack.
• Page 23: Maintenance The warranty provided with the dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap and disposal. For best wash performance, clean the filter after each load. If food debris remains in the filter, it may cause an odor. In areas with hard water, clean the filter at least once a month with a soft brush. Clean the filters using non-abrasive materials and warm running water. Cleaning the air gap involves turning off the dishwasher, removing the lower rack, and checking the sump opening for foreign materials. Clean out any debris with a toothpick or brush. Reassemble the filters before reinstalling them and replace the plastic cap and air gap cover. Be cautious of sharp edges when handling the stainless steel filter. Remove food residue caught in filters to prevent the buildup of odor-causing bacteria and possible drainage problems.
• Page 24: Maintenance Cleaning the spray arm is essential for proper water spray and effective dish cleaning. It is recommended that the spray arms be cleaned once every two weeks. Ensure that the water jet holes are not blocked by food particles. Make sure the filter is assembled correctly before starting a cycle. Remove any food residue blocking the spray arm holes with a pin or sharp tool. To avoid breaking the rolling spray arm sections, do not pull or manually rotate them. Recommended filter cleaning schedule varies based on the number of loads per week. Cleaning the upper spray arm should be done once a year. Remove the upper spray arm by turning the nut on the bottom counter-clockwise. Food particles can be removed by rinsing or shaking the spray arm.
• Page 25: Maintenance If any food residue blocks the spray arm holes, remove it with a pin or any sharp tool. After removing the food residue, clean the spray arms under running water. After cleaning the upper spray arm, press it up into place. Turn the nut 1/8 turn clockwise to make sure that the nut locks back into place. After assembly, make sure that the spray arms rotate freely. Seasonal maintenance and storage If you will be absent for an extended period of time during warmer months, close the water valve and disconnect the power supply line, or turn off the circuit breaker. Clean the filter, tub and dispenser to prevent odor. If you will be absent for an extended period of time during colder months and there is a possibility of freezing temperatures, winterize the water supply lines and the dishwasher itself. Winterization must be performed by qualified service personnel.
