Rinse Agent: Unscrew cap and pour the recommended amount 59ml (2 fl oz liq) into the

dispenser. Avoid overfilling.

Load Dishes: Pull the rack all the way out until it comes to a stop on the door. Load dishes with the soiled surface facing toward the center of the tub. (see page 5 for reference) To facilitate loading the large dinner plates, it will be necessary to remove the silverware basket from the rack. When loading is complete return silverware basket to original position. Load Silverware: Silverware should be placed in basket with the handles at the bottom. To avoid cut type injuries, exercise caution when (handling) loading/unloading sharp objects.

When loading is complete, slide the dish rack back into the tub.

Close Door: Lift the door and push firmly to close. Listen for positive door lock (click) when the door is closed.

Selecting Program: Always make sure the power on/off button is “off” before selecting a program. Rotate the timer dial (clockwise) until the dot on the timer dial is aligned with the program you want to use. Select Sani/Econo Mode: Push the Sani/Econo button on the control panel. When the push button is “in” you have selected the “Sani” mode. When the push button is ”out” you have selected “Econo” mode. The “red” pilot light adjacent to the push button illuminates (only) when you select ‘Sani” mode and the power is turned on.

Starting the Dishwasher: Only after all program settings are made should you start the dishwasher. Push the power on/off button to start the dishwasher. The “green” pilot light adjacent to the on/off button illuminates indicating the power is on and the dishwasher will start to operate. NOTE: After the dishwasher completes its program, both the power light and sani light remain illuminated until the power is turned off.

NOTE: The wash/rinse cycle can be interrupted anytime during operation, by opening the door carefully. (to avoid being sprayed by hot water) This allows you to add or remove dishes as needed. When the door is closed, the cycle automatically resumes at the point where it left off. When you are finished using the dishwasher, turn the power off at the on/off switch.

NOTE: Exercise caution when unloading dishes immediately after a cycle has just been completed, as the last rinse cycle produces extremely hot water conditions.

NOTE: . The last rinse cycle is designed to boost water temperature upto (160F / 71C) irregardless of the program settings made.

Dishes will be extremely hot and difficult to handle immediately thereafter. Allow the dishes to stand for several minutes before attempting to remove them, or leave the door partially open to speed-up the cooling down process.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Tub Filter: For best performance and results, the filter should be cleaned after each use. To remove the filter assembly, pull on the handle lift and remove. Rinse the filter under running water to remove food particles and return filter to dishwasher.

NEVER OPERATE DISHWASHER WITHOUT TUB FILTER IN PLACE.

Spray Arm: It may happen that food particles become encrusted on the spray arm and block the holes. Check the spray arm periodically and clean when needed.

After Every Wash: Turn off the water supply to the appliance and disconnect the water inlet hose. Leave the door slightly ajar so moisture and odors are not trapped inside.

Cleaning: To clean the exterior cabinet and door seals, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Use warm soapy water and a soft dish towel. To remove spots or stains from the stainless steel tub/door, use a cloth dampened with water and white vinegar, or cleaning products made specifically for dishwashers.
