When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
- Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries
- Do not load plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For
plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Do not load glasses over the dish rack pins. Glasses loaded over dish rack pins are not
properly supported and are likely to get damaged.
- Items with wooden or bone handles and items joined together with glue are unsuitable as
they cannot resist hot water.
- Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
- Do not tamper with controls.
- Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the open door or dish-rack of the dishwasher. The
machine may topple over.
- Protect cables and hoses from high temperatures.
- To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to operate or play with the dishwasher.
Using the Right Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers, as other types will cause over-
sudding. If your detergent is old and/or lumpy, throw it away. Old detergent loses its washing
power. Lumpy detergent won’t dissolve.
How much Detergent Should You Use
That depends if your water is ‘hard’ or ‘soft’.
HARD WATER REQUIRES MORE DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.
SOFT WATER REQUIRES LESS DETERGENT TO GET DISHES CLEAN.
- The recessed detergent area located on the inside door panel will hold approximately 7
grams of detergent. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s guidelines.
Note:
1. Load the salt before the beginning of wash cycle so as to prevent corrosion.
2. Only use dishwasher salt.
Using a Rinsing Agent
You can help prevent unsightly spots on dishes and glassware, and reduce drying time by using a
rinse agent. A rinse agent is specially formulated to rinse away food and detergent residues that
can be left behind on your dishes. Used regularly, a rinse agent will automatically provide you
with cleaner dishes every time you wash.
To fill the rinse agent dispenser, unscrew the dispenser cap located on the inner door. Add the
rinse agent slowly into the container until it just reaches the bottom of the filling cap inside the
dispenser opening. Replace the cap. The dispenser automatically releases the rinse agent into
the final rinse water.
Note: Clean off large particles of food sediments before placing dishes in the dishwasher.
Using the “Sani-Wash” Feature
If you have connected the washer to a cold water supply, you will need to leave it in the “Sani-
Wash” setting. The “Sani-Wash” feature gives you the option of washing/drying dishes at high
water temperatures. When activated, the “Sani-Wash” feature energizes a heating element that
