  • Page 3: Important Safety Instructions

    HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for two weeks, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

  • Page 4: Dishwasher Features

    Your new dishwasher features our EuroStyle™ wash system. This means that after the prewash, the water is drained out and the main wash starts with clean water. If you plan to start your dishwasher right away, it’s not necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need to scrape off the large particles of food before loading.

  • Page 5: Installation Instructions

    If a dishwasher is being installed in this area for the first time, most of the cabinet work, plumbing, and electrical has to be done before you move the machine into place.
  • Page 6 3. Using 2-1/2” squeeze clamps, secure the fill strip to the installation lip, as illustrated below. 4. Fasten the fill strip to the dishwasher using the four 3/4” screws supplied with the unit in the holes on the installation lip.

  • Page 7: Adjusting The Leveling Legs

    6. Grip the unit at the top or side edges and gently slide the unit into the dishwasher opening using the slide cups provided with the unit under the rear legs. WARNING! Never use your knee or shoulder to push the unit in place.

  • Page 8: Fastening The Dishwasher To The Cabinet

    FASTENING THE DISHWASHER TO THE CABINET It’s necessary to fasten the dishwasher to the cabinet so it won’t tilt when the door is opened or if something heavy is placed on the door. Use only the screws provided with the machine. The dishwasher can be fastened to the cabinet on the top, at the sides, or both, depending on the type of installation.

  • Page 9: Technical Data

    The dishwasher comes with a 5-foot PEX water supply line that has a 3/8" NPT female connection. Be sure to insert the black rubber washer (enclosed in the hardware package) into the PEX hose connection before you attach it to the water supply.

  • Page 10: Drain Connections

    20" (508 mm) high loop will result in improper drainage, which will damage the machine. ← No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35" (889 mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher. ← The hose must not be drawn straight to a floor well or its equivalent because it might function as a siphon and empty the machine.

  • Page 11: Electrical Connections

    There should be an opening through the partition between the opening for the dishwasher and the area under the sink that is large enough for the power cord to pass through. This opening should not be more than 1-1/2” (38 mm) in diameter and the edges should be smooth and rounded.

  • Page 12: Testing For Leaks

    TESTING FOR LEAKS 1. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. 2. Turn the power on at breaker/fuse box and test the dishwasher operation by running a Soak and Hold cycle (This should take about ten minutes.) 3. Turn off the electrical power and check for leaks under the dishwasher and sink.
  • Page 13 NOTE: Do not fasten the dishwasher to the cabinet until after you have installed the door panel. Remove the custom panel and parts from the packaging. Move the insulation on the back of the custom panel.
  • Page 14 With this installation, the custom panel extends 1-13/16” inches above the dishwasher control panel, as illustrated at right. This installation also leaves a 2” gap between the top of the dishwasher and the cabinet. We recommend that you install the 2” fill strip that comes with the unit between the upper edge of the dishwasher and the counter to hide the top of the dishwasher and further reduce water noise.
  • Page 15 WOOD PANELS THE SAME HEIGHT AS THE DISHWASHER DOOR (23-1/4”) If the custom panel is the same height as the dishwasher door, a 2” decorative fill strip or pull-out cutting board must be used to fill the area between the panel and the counter top (as illustrated at right).

  • Page 16: Loading The Dishwasher

    You can pull the upper basket all the way out of the dishwasher. To do so, pull it out until it stops, then tilt it up then out, as illustrated below. ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET You can adjust the height and slant of the upper basket.

  • Page 17: Loading The Lower Basket

    (See page 32.) CUTLERY CADDY Models EDW242C, EDW254E, EDW274E, and EDW294E come with a cutlery caddy that snaps down over the entire cutlery basket. This lid is ideal for keeping small, lightweight items safely in the cutlery basket.

  • Page 18: Detergent Dispenser

    DETERGENT DISPENSER The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are on the inside of the dishwasher door. If the detergent dispenser is not open, push the small lever at the top, as illustrated. There are two compartments. The one marked “15” holds about one tablespoon of detergent.
  • Page 19 * 12 grains and higher is extremely hard water and detergent alone may not be enough. You may need to use a water softener to maximize the performance of your dishwasher. Also, in areas with extremely hard water (9+) you may need to wash at lower temperatures to prevent hard water deposits from forming in tank and wash system.

  • Page 20: Rinse Aid Dispenser

    2. The dispenser holds about four ounces of liquid rinse aid. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black, being careful not to overfill. (Overfilling could cause the dishwasher to oversuds.) 3. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.

  • Page 27: Care And Maintenance

    CARE AND MAINTENANCE The interior of your Eurotech dishwasher is made of surgical quality stainless steel that has been electro- polished to make it the smoothest surface available. The smooth surface prohibits the accumulation of dirt and bacteria inside the unit. If the water in your area is especially hard, however, lime deposits could form inside the machine.

  • Page 28: Cleaning The Water Inlet Filter

    OVERFILL PROTECTION Your Eurotech dishwasher has an overfill protection device that automatically shuts off the inlet valve and starts the drain pump if the water level in the unit should rise above the normal level. If this happens, turn the water off at the main supply and call for service.

  • Page 29: Solutions To Common Dishwashing Problems

    The dishes may not be loaded properly. Make sure that soiled surfaces are facing downward or toward the center of the dishwasher. Also, make sure that the bowls, pots, etc., are not stacked so closely that water can’t reach the soiled surfaces.

  • Page 30: Troubleshooting

    2. Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc., from the dishwasher. 3. Do not add detergent. 4. Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face up on the bottom rack of the dishwasher. 5. Run the dishes through a Normal wash program.
  • Page 31 ← Make sure that the cycle was complete before you opened the dishwasher. If not, allow it to complete and check again. ← Some water left in the sump area near the drain is normal. ← If the plumbing code in your area requires an air gap, make sure that it isn’t blocked or plugged.

  • Page 32: Washing Special Items

    Most common dishware items can be safely washed in an automatic dishwasher. If you have any doubts about a particular item, check with the manufacturer to see if it is dishwasher safe. If that isn’t possible, you might wash one item of a set a few times and compare it to the rest of the set to determine if washing it in the dishwasher had any affect on it.
