Operating Instructions

To operate the dishwasher;

1.Attach the quick connect hose assembly to the faucet.

2.Push the door release button to open the door.

3.Check to make sure the filter is securely in its position.

4.Place dishes on the dish-rack and cutlery inside the cutlery basket.

5.Check to make sure the spray-arm can rotate freely by gently spinning it clockwise.

6.Fill the detergent fossa, located in the recessed

area on the inner door panel (up to 12 grams). NOTE: If using the Pre-wash cycle only, it is not necessary to add any detergent.

7.Firmly close the door.

8.Open the hot water line.

9.Push the power on/off button inward. Power button pushed in = on Power button pushed out = off

The LED indicator (located just above the power button) will illuminate, thus confirming that the dish- washer is receiving power.

10.Press the program button until the desired program code appears in the display window. The program codes are:

P1, for Intensive wash

P2, for Normal wash

P3, for Rapid wash

P4, for Eco wash

P5, for Pre-wash

11.Press the Start/Reset button to begin the selected washing program. The display window will flash the program code throughout the cycle. At the end of the cycle the dishwasher will stop; the LED will stop flashing the program code, and the dishwasher will sound a beep. After ten minutes, the display window will stop displaying the program code and become blank (black). The power indicator light remains on unless the power is turned off (the power on/off button is pushed out). You can select another program during operation by pressing the Start/Reset button, then pressing the program key (until the desired program code appears in the display window), and finally by pressing the Start/Reset button again to confirm program choice. The dishwasher will restart and begin the selected

wash operation.

Note: For safety reasons, the dishwasher is designed to stop in the event that the door is opened during a wash cycle.

IMPORTANT: Once washing is complete, press the door open button and leave the dishwasher for about fifteen minutes. This allows the dishes to cool off, as they may be too hot to touch immediately after washing.

12. After unloading the dishwasher, remove the metallic filter screen (located on the bottom of the dishwash- er tub), and wash off any bits of food that may be caught in it, then return the filter to its proper position.

NOTE: At the beginning of each cycle the dishwasher starts in drain mode. This is because the drain pump always retains a small amount of water (in the sump) from the previous (last) cycle. This is necessary to keep the pump primed; therefore, do not be alarmed if you see a small amount of water being pumped-out from the drain hose prior to the start of a regular wash cycle. (This is normal).
