• Do not place any heavy objects on or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward. When loading items to be washed:

1. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
2. 
   Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position

• Check that the detergent powder is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items without mark, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Use only detergent additives designed for an automatic dishwasher.
• Never use soap, laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• During installation, the power supply must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose sets and that old hose-sets should not be reused.
• The maximum number of place settings to be washed is 2 in AHAM test, 1 setting in DOE test.

If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes.

• Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. load face downwards.
• Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off.
• All items inserted securely and can not tip over, or move around and contact other items.

• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
  NOTE
  Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.
• Load items in a way that the dirty surface faces the center of the dishwasher
• Load long and/or sharp cutlery horizontally on the cutlery tray
• Avoid nesting dishes for best results(example two spoons together)
• Ensure items do not touch or move/wobble in the basket, this can cause damage to your dishes
• Do not allow items to extend below the dishwasher rack, this could cause and interference with the wash arm.
• Do not overload your dishwasher. If the water can not get to your dishes from the bottom or top wash results may be poor.

Loading The Baskets
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not get moved by the spray of water. Recommend loading layout with 1 serving bowl and 2 settings personal tableware.

Folding Down The Rack Shelves
The tines are used for holding plates and a platters. They can be lowered to make more room for large items, such as large size tableware or the fruit basket or the baby bottle rack.

Loading The Detergent

This product do not support rinse aid. Only add detergent.

• Only use detergent specifically for dishwashers.
  Never use any other rinse aid and detergents. This will damage the appliance.
• Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.
  

Detergent Tablets

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets will not dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the detergent tablet dissolves completely.

Detergent

The detergent must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent then conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Filter System

• Never use the dishwasher without filters!
• Make sure the filter is properly assembled.
  The performance may be affected and dishes and utensils could become damaged.

The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recycled during the cycle. For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned regularly. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter and cup under running water.

1. Main Filter
   Food and soil particles trapped in this filter are sprayed by a aspecial jet on the lower spray arm and washed down to drain.
2. Fine Filter
   Traps the small soil particles, providing filtered water to the spray arms for cleaning.

Step 1: Turn the filter assembly clockwise, then lift it up.

Step 2: Lift fine filter up and seperate it from the main filter.

Step 3: Clean all of filter elements under running water to remove food soils.

NOTE
To re-install the filter system, complete Step 2 to Step 1.
The entire filter assembly should be cleaned once a week.

• Inspect the filters for blockages every time the dishwasher has been used.
  
  When cleaning the filters, don't knock on them. Otherwise, the filters could be damaged and the performance of dishwasher could be decreased.

Dishwasher Care

The control panel and exterior can be cleaned by using a lightly dampened cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry it thoroughly. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

Cleaning The Door
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp cloth. To avoid allowing water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner of any kind.

• Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel as it may damage the door lock and electrical components.
• Abrasive agents or rough paper towel should not be used because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stainless steel surface.
