Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surface of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter removing food and soiled particles and then pumped back through the spray arm.

Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle . For best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at least 131˚F. To prevent dishwasher damage, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 149˚F.

NOTE: “Hard water” will adversely affect the wash performance of your dishwasher. Hard water will also contribute to “lime” (white filmy substance) deposits and/or “scaling” on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and the heater element (located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen). To minimize the above conditions, we recommend periodically rinsing the inside of the dishwasher (while empty) with 1 cup of white vinegar (at least once a week).

Disconnecting the Dishwasher

Turn off the water supply at the stopcock.

Disconnect the power supply cord.

Disconnect the inlet hose assembly from the water supply. When the dishwasher is not in use, you can store the hose on the hang bracket located on the rear wall of the dishwasher cabinet.

Appliances that are being thrown away should be made unusable. Pull off the plug and make the door lock and latch unusable

!Important!

Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter) the water inlet hose will be pressurized. This means there may be some water splashed out when the hose is disconnected. Take the necessary precautions.

! Caution!

Do not let children disconnect (or use, unsupervised) the dishwasher. Close supervision of children is always important around appliances.
