1. IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher! Save these operating instructions and pass them on to any future user.
=
=
=
Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose as described in this user manual. This appliance is intended for normal household use only.
The manufacturer disclaims responsibility for damage or injury caused by improper use of this appliance.
The information in this user manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion and to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
=
=
=
=
=
=
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all the enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
The cup racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the cup racks are in the dishwasher do not lean on or use the cup racks to support your body weight.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in, on or near the dishwasher.
Use only detergents or rinse aids recommended for use in a household dishwasher and keep them in a dry place out of the reach of children.
Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of each wash program.
=
=
=
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if inhaled or swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the door is opened. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
Do not drink water from the dishwasher! Harmful residues could be present.
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water heater 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 period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water taps and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
= Do not store or use flammable liquids or vapors in the area of the dishwasher.
=
=
=
When loading items to be washed, position sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal and load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturers recommendations.
If a malfunction occurs, switch off the appliance and turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
=
=
=
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the appliance, disconnect the power plug and turn off the water supply.
Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.
If the dishwasher is not in use for an extended period of time (i.e. vacation home), we recommend you check that the baskets are empty, leave the inside of the dishwasher clean, leave the door cracked open to allow air to circulate and turn off both the power and water supply to the dishwasher.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
2. INSTALLATION
WARNING
When installing the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
=
=
=
The dishwasher installation must be performed in accordance with the installation manual. If you did not receive an installation manual order it by calling 1-800-459-9848 or you may also download it from our web site at www.Blombergappliances.com
Installation, maintenance and repair should be performed by a qualified installer. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
Do not operate the appliance if damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled or if it has missing or broken parts.
=
=
=
=
Do not install or store the dishwasher where it can be exposed to below freezing temperatures or exposed to weather.
Dishwasher must be secured to adjacent cabinetry using the brackets provided. Failure to do this may cause damage to property or bodily injury.
Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120 V (volts), 60 Hz (hertz), AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breakers rated for 15 amperes. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum of # 14 AWG copper wire rated at 75 °C (167 °F) or higher.
These requirements must be met to prevent injury and machine damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.
Do not use any extension cord or portable outlet device to connect the dishwasher to a power supply.
WARNING
Danger of suffocation!
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, small pieces etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children.
=
=
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it. Ensure that the appliance presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.
Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please contact your local recycling authority about the possibility of recycling these materials.
=
=
Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the work area by unplugging the unit, "tripping" the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.
Only connect the dishwasher to the power supply when all installation and plumbing work is complete.

The detergent container holds a total of 40 ml

Marking lines on the inside of the detergent container aid in providing the correct amount of detergent. When the dishwasher is fully loaded and the dishes are very dirty, we recommend filling the detergent container up to the 25 ml /
5 tsp mark. When the dishes are less dirty, it is generally sufficient to fill the detergent up to the
15 ml / 3 tsp mark.
The detergent amounts for the individual cleaning programs are shown in the "Quick Reference
Guide - Program Table".
Fill amounts given are for standard powder detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powder detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in detergent container 1. with the cover closed.
Follow instructions on the package of the detergent when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powder detergent, or tablet detergent.
Deviations are possible depending on how dirty the dishes are and how hard the water is in your location.
