Pre p a rin g to Wa sh Dish e s:  
For get best results, practice the following  
before you put dishware in the dishwasher:  
• Discard big chunks of food from the plate  
before loading.  
Remove sticky foods and loosen  
burned-on foods before loading.  
• Empty liquids such as juice, soup, soda,  
coffee or tea from glasses and cups before loading.  
Rinse off acid based liquid, such as vinegar or lemon juice right a way. Failure to  
do so may cause discoloration to plates, food containers or internal cabinet.  
• Always check manufacturers recommendations before you start washing items.  
Tip s to a vo id sta in s a n d film s:  
The following suggestions are recommended to prevent stains and films  
on dishware and utensils items:  
You must rinse all dishware, silverware, glassware and food containers  
immediately after use. Some citric based food products, coffee, tea and iron  
deposits in water can cause yellow or brown film to form on the inside surface it  
left on for a long time or if rinsed immediately.  
You must check your water hardness to see whether you need to use more or less  
detergent to wash. If water is extremely hard, then it may be causing stains on  
items. You may need to use a water softener.  
• Do not overload the dishwasher.  
• Avoid improper loading.  
Be sure to use the recommended water temperature to wash dishware.  
• Do not use too little detergent.  
• Do not use old or damp powder detergent.  
• Do not load aluminum utensils improperly. Aluminum utensils can cause gray or  
black marks to appear on porcelain utensils if they are touching during wash  
cycle.

English  
Lo a d in g th e Lo w e r & Up p e r Ra ck :  
To get maximum cleaning results, follow the  
recommendations below before you start  
the dishwasher:  
N o te : Do not wash any heat sensitive or any other  
(upper rack)  
items that are not designed for automatic dishwashers.  
Keep all tall dishware and food containers away from the spray arm rotation.  
• Place food containers such as cups, glasses, bowls, saucepans and casserole  
dishes with soiled surface facing in the downward position.  
To avoid any type of damage to glassware such as coffee/ tea cups, beverage,  
wine and champagne glasses, do not load them on the bottom rack. Place these  
items on the upper rack.  
• Put cups upside down on the top of the cup/ stemware rack and put wine or  
champagne glasses upside down between the divided segments of the  
cup/ stemware rack to secure them properly.  
• Do not load dishware or food containers that are  
made of wood or iron. These items are not considered  
dishwasher safe.(See chart on p.18 for details.)  
• Do not jam the glassware items together when  
loading.  
(lower rack)  
• Place delicate items on the upper rack.  
• Do not load tall dishware or cookware items near the middle spray arm.  
• Move racks slowly in and out to avoid slamming the dishware items together.  
• Make sure all dishware and glassware items are securely in place when loading  
to avoid falling over or striking against each other.  
Ad ju sta b le Up p e r Ra ck Sy ste m :  
The upper rack has two positions, which allows you to modify the rack system  
according to your current space needs. The flexibility of the upper rack is ideal for  
washing tall dishware and glassware items.  
For Example: Adjusting the Rack to the Lower Position allows you the flexibility to  
load taller wine or champagne glasses in the upper rack, simply remove the rack  
and bring it to the lower position.  
1 2  
 
English  
For Example: Adjusting the Rack to Upper Position allows you the flexibility to load  
tall dishes on the lower rack.  
Ste p s to Re m o ve th e Ra ck  
1) Open both sides of the rail guards from the upper rack.  
2) Slide the rack out.  
3) Close both sides of the rail guards so rack will not slide out.  
Lo a d in g Silve rw a re Ba sk e t:  
Simply remove the basket out of the dishwasher to load silverware and place it back  
once you finish loading.  
To avoid any type of injury, load knives and forks face down.  
Try to mix spoons, knives and forks for better cleaning and  
drying and to prevent nesting.  
• Do not mix stainless steel and silver items because you may  
damage silver finish on silver items.  
• Do not load tall items next to upper spray arm because it  
could be blocked.  
• Do not load dishware or food containers that are made of wood or iron. These  
items are not considered dishwasher safe.  
• Do not load tin, pewter and non-dishware filters. These items are not considered  
dishwasher safe.

English  
Pro p e r Use o f De te rg e n t:  
The amount of detergent to use depends on the type of water in your living area  
whether it is hard or soft and whether items are lightly or heavily soiled.  
• Water softness or hardness is measured in grains content per gallon (gpg). You  
can find out the gpg level by calling your local Environmental Protection Agency  
(EPA) in your county.  
If you find that the gpg level is higher in the water, then the water will be harder  
in your living area. You will need more detergent to clean. If gpg level is lower,  
then the water will be softer in your living area so you will need less  
detergent to clean.  
See the following table to understand the "water hardness type" and gpg level.  
Water Hardness Type  
gpg  
10+  
4-9  
0-3  
Hard  
Medium  
Soft  
N o te : If gpg level is over 12, then water is very hard. You may need water  
softener to improve the water quality and the performance of  
your dishwashing.  
N o te : The quality of the detergent will make a big difference in the cleaning of  
dishes. Detergent that is damp or too old will not be as effective to clean  
because the active ingredients will be phased off. Detergent will not work  
properly.  
N o te : Use only "Au to m a tic Dish w a sh e r De te rg e n t" for your dishwasher.  
Other types of detergents that are not for dishwasher use may cause  
oversudsing and foaming. Do not use detergents that are dried, caked or  
moist. These types of detergents will not dissolve properly and and will clean  
effectively.

English  
Po u rin g Dish w a sh e r De te rg e n t:  
Use the recommended amount of detergent for your wash loads. Measure and pour  
the detergent into the large compartment for the main wash. The detergent for the  
pre-wash goes into the small compartment next to the main wash compartment.  
N o te : For the pre-wash you should use one-half the amount of detergent that you  
use for the main wash.

Cle a n in g Dish w a sh e r Filte rs:  
• We recommend that you wash and clean all three filters gently in hot, soapy  
water and rinse them thoroughly periodically to clean soil and chemical build up  
on the filters.  
The filters are located inside the dishwasher at the bottom in the front below  
the lower rack.  
• After a wash and dry cycle is finished, you must wait few minutes until the  
dishwasher is completely cooled off in order to remove the filters to clean.  
Remove the lower rack first in order to take the filter out.  
Remove and clean any residue off the filters with soap and water; then wipe them  
off with a soft piece of cloth.  
• After you finish cleaning the filters, place them back to their original position in  
the dishwasher.

You will hear the motor stopping at the end of the cycle.  
If some utensils are not secure in the rack, you will hear that they are being tossed  
around the tub.  
O ve rsu d sin g :

detergent for best dishwashing results.  
Dish w a re O d o r:

discolor the tub with extended use. You need to change the detergent to one  
without a colorant. Read the container label carefully before using the detergent.  
• Some acid based and/ or paste based foods may discolor the tub. Use of the rinse  
cycle may help to decrease the level of staining.

• Check the level of the drain hose. The drain hose should be positioned above the  
drain in order to drain properly. Make sure it is on a high drain loop (20”) above  
the sub floor or floor.  
If the drain hose is bent or shrunken, it may affect water draining.  
If water can not be drained out smoothly, the dishwasher operation will be  
disturbed and it may stop in the middle of the cycle.  
• Make sure that the wash cycle is fully completed before you opened the  
dishwasher door. If the wash cycle is not completely finished, allow the cycle to be  
completed and check again.  
• Make sure that the air gap is not blocked.  
If the unit is connected to a garbage disposer, make sure that it is not full. If it is,  
you need to empty it.  
• Check for any type of blockage near the drain and dishwasher filter area.  
If the water backs up into the sink, you need to check the garbage disposer and the  
trap for blockage.  
It is normal to find some water in the sump area near the drain.  
Ste p s o f d ra in in g th e w a te r o u t o f th e tu b :  
1) Shut off the unit power and wait a few seconds.
