When using your dishwasher, follow the basic precautions below. Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips 1 WARNING! HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. 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. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS Power Cord Models This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment -grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed in an accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock .

WASH CYCLE ADJUSTMENT BUTTONS Plus Button This button (see " Control panel " ) is used with the normal cycle where pots and pans have dry, caked-on food. This is not recommended for delicate items as the high temperature could make their surfaces opaque or their decorative colors lighten after repeated washings. Rapid Button This button (see " Control panel " ) when used with wash cycle 4 (glassware) makes it possible to run the wash cycle at a lower temperature (50 C) and eliminates the drying phase. WATER SOFTENER There are two ways to reduce the water hardness: one way is by using water softener, the other is by using detergent. Safety Instructions The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water. Loading the Salt into the Softener Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers. The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows: 1 Remove the lower basket and unscrew and remove the cap from the salt container. 2 If you are filling the container for the first time, fill 2/3 of its volume with water. end of the hole and introduce about 2kg 3 PlaceItthenormal the salt filter(supplied) into to come out of the salt container. of salt. is for a small amount of water 4 Carefully screw on the cap.

Though the salt container is filled, black out before 2. If there are spills of salt, a soak program could be run to clean the spills. Adjusting Salt Consumption The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption. 1 2 Unscrew the cap from the salt container. There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it (see Figure to the side). If necessary, rotate the ring in the counterclockwise direction from the "-" s etting toward the "+" sign, based on the hardness of the water being used.It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following chart: Troubleshooting Tips WATER HARDNESS Selector Position Clarke Degrees 0~14 14~36 36~71 71 dH 0~10 18~44 45~89 89 mmol/l 0~1.7 1.8~4.4 4.5~8.9 8.9 / MED + Salt consumption (gram/cycle) Auto nomy (cycles/2kgs) 0 20 40 60 / 60 40 25 Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply. 4 DETERGENT DISPENSER The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle according to the instructions provided in the" Wash Cycle Table". Our dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than conventional dishwashers. 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 dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly. Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips 5 Amount of Detergent to Use IF THE WATER ISN'T TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS BY ADDING DETERGENT. The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use little by little until you find the correct amount. 2 34 5 6 SCALE 1.000 Removing Hard Water Spots From Dishes To remove hard water spots, try the following: Run dishes through a normal wash program. Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc., from the dishwasher. Do not add detergent. Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face up on the lower rack of the dishwasher. Run the dishes through a normal wash program. If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar. 1 1 Main Wash Detergent 2 Dispenser Lid lever 3 Prewash Deterge ...
