Disconnecting your Dishwasher

IMPORTANT

•Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized.

•To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, (make sure the water line (faucet) is closed): press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops.

WARNING

FAILURE TO RELIEVE WATER PRESSURE, BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE QUICK-CONNECT FROM THE FAUCET, WILL RESULT IN BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY. THE TEMPERATURE OF INCOMING WATER CAN BE VERY HOT, AND BACK-PRESSURE OVER-SPRAY COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR SCALDING.

DANGER

DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISH- WASHER; CLOSE SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AROUND APPLIANCES.

NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to ‘lime’ (white film substance) deposits and/or ‘scaling’ on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.

•Close the hot water supply at the faucet.

•Disconnect the power supply cord.

•Remember to release the water pressure inside the inlet hose. Press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick-connect until the flow of water stops.

•Disconnect the quick-connect hose assembly by pulling down on the outer locking collar, (thus releasing the quick-connect from the faucet adapter).

Loading your Dishwasher

The dishwasher is designed to receive a standard ‘4- piece’ plate setting, consisting of the following:

•4 dinner plates

•4 soup plates

•4 dessert dishes

•4 saucers

•4 cups

•4 tea spoons

•1 oval platter

•1 small serving

•1 dish

•4 glasses

•4 soup spoons

•4 forks

•4 knives

•4 dessert spoons

•2 serving spoons

•1 serving fork

•1 gravy ladle

NOTE: For ease of loading/unloading large size dinner plates from the dishrack, it may be necessary to temporarily remove the silverware basket. When loading/unloading is complete, return the silverware basket to its original position.

Preparing your Dishes for Washing

•Scrape off all solid food particles from dishes.

•Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.

•Empty any liquids from glasses and cups.

•All dishes should be thoroughly rinsed before being

placed inside the dishwasher.

Note: Dishes with dried on foods are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in a normal wash cycle.

Using the Right Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dish- washers (other types will cause over-sudsing). If your detergent is old and/or lumpy, throw it away, as old detergent loses its washing power and lumpy detergent won’t dissolve.
