Loading The Dishwasher; Turning On The Appliance - Haier DW12-EFM S Manual

Loading the Dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove larger food
particles to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which re-
sults in reduced performance.
If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to
remove, we recommend that they be allowed to soak before they
are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycles.
Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.
How to Use the Lower Rack
We recommend that you place the most difficult to clean items on
the bottom rack: pots, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in
the figure to the right.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the
racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.
- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.
- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.
- The silverware basket can be doubled (see Fig. A) so that only
one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This
makes space for additional pots and pans on the lower rack.
- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the
handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons
should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe
cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at
the front of the upper rack.
How to Use the Upper Rack
The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter
dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers,
as well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as
they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they are not moved
by the spray of water.
The upper rack can be adjusted in height by using the side
knobs (see Fig. B).

Turning on the Appliance

Starting a wash cycle
- Make sure that the plug of the appliance is inserted into the wall
socket.
- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.
- Load the dishwasher (see the section "Loading the
Dishwasher").
- Pour in the detergent (see the section "Salt, Detergent and Rinse
Aid").
- Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel clock-
wise
to the desired cycle number or symbol (see the section "Wash
Cycle Table").
- Press the ON-OFF button; the ON-OFF light will turn on. At this
point, the wash cycle will begin.
If you forget to load some of dishes
The wash cycle can be interrupted by pressing the ON-OFF
button. You can then load additional dishes and turn the appli-
ance back on. The appliance will resume operation from where it
was interrupted.
At the end of the wash cycle
Fig.B
When the knob stops turning and is aligned with the STOP mark
(see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using
GB GB
the ON-OFF button, turn 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.
Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting
Premise: A cycle that is underway can only be modified if it
has been running for a short time. Otherwise, the detergent
may have already been used, and the appliance may have
already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the deter-
gent dispenser must be refilled (see paragraph "Loading the
detergent").
Press the ON-OFF button and the ON Light will turn off. Rotate
the knob clockwise to the desired cycle setting (see the section
"Starting a wash cycle"). Then, turn the dishwasher back on us-
ing the ON-OFF button.
