Installation Instructions

A hose that attaches to a spray wand can burst if it is installed on the same water line as the dishwasher.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Unpacking the Dishwasher
Use at least two people to move and install the dishwasher to prevent back and other types of injuries. Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue from your dishwasher before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your dishwasher. Check to make sure the parts necessary for installation are included. If any parts are missing, please contact our customer service team. Put the dishwasher on a level and flat surface that is able to support the entire weight of the dishwasher fully loaded.

Installation Requirements
The dishwasher is designed for a countertop installation. Please follow the instructions for clearance, water and electrical requirements.

Clearance Requirements
The minimum height clearance required to install your dishwasher on a counter top surface with overhead cupboards is 45cm (17.7").

Water Requirements
Make sure the water supply/ faucet connection is within reach of the inlet and drain hose assembly (i.e., 58 cm / 22.8"). If your sink has a spray wand, it is recommended that the hose be disconnected and the hole plugged.

Water Temperature
For best results, the water temperature must be at least 55ºC (130ºF). To prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 65ºC (149ºF).

Electrical Requirements
Read all safety precautions listed at the beginning of this manual. It is recommended that you use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

Electrical Connection
Ensure the voltage and frequency of the power source being used corresponds to those on the rating plate. Only insert the plug into an electrical socket which is earthed properly. If the only available electrical socket the appliance can be connected to is not compatible with the the prong plug, replace the socket, rather than using an adapter or the like as they could cause overheating and safety issues.

Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be earthed. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, earthing will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and earthed in accordance with all local standards and requirements.

1. Power cord
2. Inlet port
3. Drain port

Your dishwasher comes equipped with a 'quick connect' assembly (includes: inlet and drain hose). The faucet adapter must be installed on the faucet before you can connect the dishwasher. The adapter is included inside your dishwasher. The faucet adapter is compatible with faucets inclusive of either male (outside) or female (inside) threaded faucet connections.

Quick Connect Assembly

1. Drain port connection
2. Quick connect connection
3. Inlet port connection
4. Quick connect connection
5. Faucet adapter
6. Faucet washer

DO NOT LET CHILDREN DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER; 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 while empty using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week.

FAUCET WASHER
If your existing faucet is not compatible with the quick connect faucet adapter connection:

• Both rubber washers must be installed inside the faucet adapter if your faucet is inclusive of a female type (threaded) connection. (Fig. 10a)
  
• Use only the standard rubber washer (0.2"/5mm thick) supplied within the adapter if your faucet is inclusive of a male type (threaded) connection. (Fig. 10b)
  

Connect the quick connect assembly to the faucet

• Run the garbage disposal, if you have one, to clean out the disposer and thus allow water to drain from the sink through the disposer and down the drain.
• Run the hot water faucet to purge cold water from the hot water line. The hot water must be between 120°F and 150°F for best wash performance.
• Move the dishwasher to a position just in front of the sink.
• Pull the quick connect adapter and its hoses completely out from storage compartment at rear of the dishwasher.
• Attach the quick connect adapter to the faucet adapter following the three steps below:
  • Depress the locking collar at the top of the quick connect adapter.
  • Place the quick connect adapter completely over the faucet adapter.
  • Release the locking collar. The quick connect adapter should now be locked onto the faucet adapter. (Fig. 11a)
    

• Turn on the hot water faucet and check for leaks. If a quick connect adapter leak is observed, take whatever actions are necessary to repair the leak. This may be as simple as tightening the faucet adapter. Or, it may require the services of a plumber if water is leaking from the interface between the movable faucet arm and the fixed part of the faucet fastened to the sink.
• Plug the dishwasher power cord into the electrical outlet.

Disconnect and store your dishwasher
Remove Power

• Turn off and unplug the dishwasher.

Remove quick connect assembly from faucet

• Turn off hot water.
• Relieve water pressure from the quick connect assembly before disconnecting it from the faucet by depressing the red pressure relief button. (Fig. 11b)
  
• Depress the locking collar and remove the quick connect assembly from the faucet. (Fig. 11c)
  
• Drain excess water from the quick connect assembly. If the sink is 34" or higher from the floor, the excess water in the hoses cannot be drained directly into the sink. It will be necessary to drain excess water from hoses into a bowl or suitable container that is held
  
• Set aside the quick connect assembly and hoses.

Store the dishwasher

• Latch the dishwasher door closed.
• Place the dishwasher into its preferred storage location.

CHECK BEFORE FIRST USE
The following things should be checked before starting the dishwasher.

1. The dishwasher is level.
2. The inlet valve is open.
3. There is no leakage at the connections.
4. The power is switched on.
5. The inlet and drain hoses are not knotted to prevent restrictions.
6. All packing materials and manual should be removed from the dishwasher.

Using the dishwasher

1. Function of Detergent

Proper Use of Detergent
Detergents with chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Do not put powder detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent to alleviate the deposits that are left by the excessive minerals. Less detergent is needed for soft water.
To identify whether your water is hard or soft, contact your water department. A water softener is recommended for water that contains twelve or more grains. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.

NOTE:
Grains - in terms of water hardness measurement, refer to the unit of weight that is equivalent to 1/7000th of a pound.
For heavily soiled loads, use the HEAVY WASH Cycle, fill one or both of the interior cups, depending on the hardness of your water, and also fill the open cup on the dispenser lid. Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser:

Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser must be filled before the start of each washing cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your countertop dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Filling in Detergent

Note:

• Push latch to open the detergent dispenser lid.
• Add liquid detergent, powder detergent or detergent tablet.
• Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
• Only use branded detergent aids for dishwashers.

Amount of Detergent to Use
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
The marking indicates the dosing levels, as illustrated on right.

1. dispenser can load 5g detergent (open cup)
2. dispenser can load 15g detergent
3. dispenser can load 25g detergent

Note:

• Please be aware that the level of soiling and the specific hardness of water differences are possible.
• Check the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.

DO NOT USE HANDWASHING DISH DETERGENT!
Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher which may cause overflow.

2. Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aids are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.

Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located on the inside of the door next to the detergent dispenser.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse aid warning light in the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by the color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap. When the rinse aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases.

Only use branded rinse aids for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This may damage the appliance.
NOTE: If water spots are not visible and you are satisfied with the drying results, using a rinse aid is optional.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 110ml.

	Full
	3 / 4 full
	1 / 2 full
	1 / 4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting
	Empty

Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser

1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
   
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
   
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.
   

Note:
Clean up any rinse aid spilled during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Do not forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.

Adjusting Rinse Aid
The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be adjusted. The rinse aid dispenser has four settings and the recommended setting is on "3".
If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the rinse aid lever to the next higher number on "4".

NOTE:

• Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
• If water spots are not visible and you are satisfied with the drying results, using a rinse aid is optional.

3. Check the Water Temperature
   The recommended entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and not more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning. The water temperature can be checked using a meat thermometer.
   Turn on the hot water faucet, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

Loading the Dishwasher

Recommendation

• Consider buying utensils which are identified as dishwasher-proof or safe
• Use a mild detergent
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and silverware out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended

ITEMS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR THE DISHWASHER

• Cast-Iron skillet
• Plastic items that are not marked Dishwasher safe
• Older silverware with glued parts that are not temperature resistant
• Bonded silverware items or dishes
• Wooden utensils and cutting boards
• Steel items subject to rusting
• Antiques and other delicate items
• Items made from synthetic fibers

• Insulated mugs
• Aluminum cookware
• Copper pots, pans and mugs
• Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
• Crystal and Fine China

Attention before or after loading the Dishwasher Baskets
For best performance, follow these loading guidelines.
Scrape off any large leftover food particles. Soften remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:

1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are face down.
2. Curved items, or those with recesses, should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils stacked securely and can not tip over.
4. All utensils placed so the spray arms can rotated freely during washing.

NOTE:
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the basket.

• Dishes and silverware must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
• Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the plate rack basket.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is important for good cleaning results.

A properly loaded dishwasher is key for optimal performance. Overfilling or 'messy' loading of the dishwasher can reduce the efficiency. This counter-top dishwasher is optimized for holding 6 place settings. Refer to the arrangement below for optimal loading. Position the dishes and cookware so they are secure during the wash cycle and cannot be moved by sprayed water.

Plate racks of basket
The basket is fitted with plate racks which can be stowed horizontal if required.

Silverware Basket
Silverware such as spoons should be placed in the silverware basket with handles at the bottom.
Long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at the front of the upper basket.
Sharp objects, such as forks and knives should be placed with the handles up.
Avoid allowing items to nest together, which may keep them from being properly washed. When loading, distribute items evenly in the basket.

• Do not let any item extend through bottom of the silverware basket to ensure proper function of spray arm.
• Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!
• Place knives and other potentially dangerous utensils handles-up.

Starting a Program

Press the "P" program button to select the desired wash program on the control panel.

Wash Cycle Table

It is dangerous to open the door when dishwasher is in operation. Make sure to PAUSE operation and wait for 30 seconds before opening the dishwasher door.

Cleaning Baby Bottles In The Dishwasher
If your baby bottles are glass or dishwasher safe plastic then you have the option of using the dishwasher to clean them. Just like cleaning by hand, you will need to separate the baby bottle into its individual parts.
Placing your baby bottle lids and nipples in the dishwasher may cause them to slip between the gaps in the tray and become destroyed. A dishwasher basket is a great way to keep your nipples and sippy cup lids in one place.
Avoid cleaning your baby bottles with dishes that contained food capable of staining. For example, pasta sauce can get splattered over your baby feeding equipment during the cleaning process. The high temperature will then cause the pigment to set, resulting in stained nipples and bottles.

Program Lock
You can lock the controls to prevent selections from being made. You can also lock the controls after you have started a cycle to prevent cycle changes. For example, children cannot accidentally start the dishwasher by pressing pads with this option selected.
To LOCK the dishwasher control, press and hold the Program Lock button for 3 seconds. The Program Lock light will turn on to indicate the control is locked.

Water Faucet Indicator
When the dishwasher detects that water pressure is low, the water faucet indicator will illuminate and the dishwasher will stop temporarily. Make sure that the incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch (psi).

1. Turn off dishwasher.
2. Remove inlet hose from the dishwasher.
3. Check water pressure.
4. Once water pressure is corrected, install the inlet hose onto the dishwasher.

Rinse Aid Warning Light
When the dishwasher detects that the rinse aid dispenser needs to be refilled, the rinse aid warning indicator will illuminate. See section "B. Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser".
Note: If water spots are not visible and satisfied with the drying results, using a rinse aid is optional.

Program Completed Light
At the end of each wash program, the Program Completed indicator will illuminate indicating that program has completed.

Forget to Add a Dish
A dish or item can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens.

1. Press the Start/Pause button
2. Open the door a little to stop the washing
3. Wait 30 seconds for the spray arms to stop working, then open the door completely
4. Add items
5. Close the door
6. Press the Start/Pause button, the dishwasher will resume within 10 seconds

At the End of the Wash Cycle
When the washing cycle has finished, the buzzer alarm will sound for 8 seconds. Turn off the dishwasher using the ON/OFF button, shut off the water supply and open the door of the dishwasher. Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
The dishwasher will power off automatically after 30 minutes without any operation.

1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Turn off the water tap.
3. Open the door carefully. Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down around 15 minutes before removing from the dishwasher. Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes. This will allow the dishes to cool and assist in the dying process.
4. Unload the dishwasher. It is normal for the dishwasher to be wet inside.
