Before doing your first wash

Read through the directions for use

Read through the directions for use before starting to use your machine, especially the

Safety, Child Safety, and Basic Course sections.

Take care with certain materials

Read the Fragile Dishes section before washing china with unglazed decoration or other household goods made of plastic, wood, or crystal requiring careful treatment.

Check the door fitting

Check that the door of the dishwasher fits properly: open the door a little and let it go.

Does it stay exactly where you released it? If not, you should check the installation instructions or consult the installer.

Check the water’s hardness

Call your local water utility company to check the water hardness in your area. This is important when dispensing dishwasher detergent and rinse aid.

Important safety instructions

4

This manual does not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur.

Common sense and caution should always be used when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance.

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

• Dishwashers must be electrically grounded.

Read the Installation Instructions for details.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.

• Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the home.

• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and rinse agents.

• To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents and rinse aids out of the reach of children.

• Do not load sharp items near the door; you could damage the door seal.

• Place sharp knives in the silverware basket with the sharp ends down to avoid the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For items not marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Items not dishwasher safe could become deformed or melt and create a potential fire hazard.

• Do not touch the heating element during or imediately after use.

• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place (i.e., guard plate, access panel, toe kick, etc.)

• Do not tamper with controls by removing or changing.

• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher door or baskets .

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.

• 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 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.

Customer Care Center

1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com

• When removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it, remove the door to the washing compartment.

• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Disconnect the electrical power to the dishwasher before servicing.

• Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

Child safety

Child safety tips

Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep them out of reach of children.

• Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately: Call the National Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222

• Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as you put in the detergent.

• Always keep small children away from the machine when it is open. There may be some detergent residue left inside the machine.

• If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.

• Do not allow children to use or play in or on the dishwasher.

• Load all long and sharp items in the knife/ utensil basket. If this is not possible, load sharp objects with the pointed end facing the back of the dishwasher. Sharp items loaded in the silverware basket should be loaded with pointed ends down.

• Engage the child safety lock.

Engaging the Child Safety Lock

This model has a child safety lock on the left of the door handle. To activate the lock, press in the door handle and use a screwdriver to turn the screw slot to a vertical position. Reset it by turning the slot to its horizontal position.

To open the door when the safety lock is engaged, press the white plastic tab located to the left of the door handle toward the left and hold it as you lift the door handle. (See illustration at below.)

Basic Course

Below are step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the best possible dishwashing results.

The cutlery basket has a folding flap in the middle for small items or narrow shafts, such as electric whisks.

Load the baskets correctly!

Thanks to Self Cleaning System, you do not need to rinse the dishes under running water. Simply remove large food particles and debris. Convenient and environmentally-friendly!

Place long cutlery and carving knives in the special knife box (if present) or in the upper basket.

Place glasses, cups, bowls, side plates, and saucers in the upper basket. Wine glasses should be hung from or leaned against the wine glass shelf and knives placed in the knife stand if present.

Check that the spray arms are able to move freely.

See the section entitled Fragile Dishes if you want to wash objects that may be fragile.

Note!

Ensure that all soiled surfaces face inwards or downwards!

Place dinner plates, side plates, serving dishes, saucepans, and cutlery (in the cutlery basket) in the lower basket. The removable plate insert, which comes with certain models, can be easily removed to provide room for large plates, saucepans, and pots, or placed in three alternative positions.

Stand the cutlery with handles downward and as spread out as possible. Ensure that spoons are not resting inside each other.

Dishwashing detergent

We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Using the wrong detergent could cause flooding and/or damage your dishwasher. Do not use detergent that has been wet and is clumped. Also, check the expiration date on the container.

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. Refer to the chart below for the recommended detergent amounts based on water hardness.

Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount.

Do not put cutlery made of different materials - such as silver and stainless steel - in the same compartment (risk of stains).

Customer Care Center

1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com

Twelve 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 hard water

(9+) you may need to wash at lower temperatures to prevent hard water deposits from forming in tank and wash system.

In hard water areas, both the dishes and the machine can develop a white or gray film after a while. This can be removed by replacing the prewash detergent with two tablespoons of citric acid. If the water is very hard, use a rinse aid that contains citric acid.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with less than 8.7% phosphorous content, you may need to use more detergent or use a detergent with more than

8.7% phosphorous content.

NOTE:

We recommend that you do not add prewash detergent for the Quick wash programs.

NOTE:

If you use a dishwashing detergent with a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the rinse aid dispenser. This could cause a film on your dishes.

Dishwasher tablets

Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser cover. There is a risk that the dishwasher detergent will not break down properly to give the correct dosage if the cover is tight and cannot be opened correctly.

3-in-1/ Multi-purpose detergent

Note!

Read the directions for use for such products carefully. If anything is unclear, contact the detergent manufacturer.

Fragile dishes

A number of household goods are not suitable for machine washing. This can be due to a variety of reasons. Certain materials cannot withstand intense heat; others can be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.

Plastic

Certain types of plastic cannot withstand the high temperature generated in machine dishwashing.

Fragile decoration

China with decoration on top of the glaze

(the goods have a rough feel) should not be machine washed.

Protect plastic goods

Select a program with a low temperature.

Crystal/ glass

Place the goods so that they do not knock together during the wash. Use the lowest possible wash temperature and the shortest possible program. Do not heat dry! Antique and very fragile items should not be machine washed.

Glass which is machine washed at high temperatures can in time develop a grey film which cannot be removed. Wash fine glass at the lowest temperature and with a low dosage of dishwasher detergent.

Silver

Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact with each other as the silver can discolor.

Cutlery with glued handles

Certain types of adhesive cannot withstand machine washing. In such cases the handles can come loose.

Wood

Wooden items should only be machine washed if they are labeled as dishwasher safe.

Aluminum

Aluminum can be dulled by machine washing. However, good quality aluminum saucepans can be machine washed, although a reduction in luster should be expected.

Customer Care Center

1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com

Cleaning

The dishwasher’s inner container is made of stainless steel and is kept clean through normal use. However, if you have calciferous

(hard) water, lime deposits can form in the dishwasher. In this case, run a normal wash program with two tablespoons of citric acid in the dishwasher detergent compartment.

CAUTION!

Do not forget to replace the small pump access plug.

Spray arms

The holes and bearings can occasionally become clogged.

1. Pull the lower spray arm straight up to release it.

2. Scrape away the debris with a needle or similar. The spray arms also have holes on the underside.

To release the upper spray arm, the upper basket must be removed.

3. Pull out the basket and turn the basket stop outwards on both rails (see picture).

The basket can now be removed.

4. Remove the upper spray arm in the same way as the lower arm and clean it.

Door

When cleaning the edge around the door, use only a slightly damp cloth, possibly with a little detergent. Do not use a spray bottle or similar around the door catch. This is to ensure that water does not penetrate into the door catch and come into contact with the electrical components.

CAUTION!

Do not use a spray bottle or similar around the door catch.

Tip!

In order to prevent bad odours in the dishwasher, clean the strips and corners with a dish brush and low-lather detergent.

Rinse aid

Adding rinse aid

In some cases, drying can be made more efficient by using rinse aid.

Select dosage

The dispenser is usually set at 1= soft water.

However, depending on the water hardness, you may need to change the dosage.

To fill with rinse aid:

1. Turn and lift up the cover of the rinse aid compartment to the right of the dispenser.

This is where you top up and set the amount of rinse aid to be dispensed in each wash.

2. Carefully pour in rinse aid up to the dosage setting knob.

Alter dosage if required. Do not forget to close the cover.

Open the rinse aid cover. Here you will find the dispenser’s adjustment dial. Settings 1-6: the harder the water, the higher the dosage.

When the water hardness exceeds 3 grains, you should use rinse aid with citric acid (acid rinse aid).

Too much rinse aid can lead to the buildup of foam. If your water is particularly soft, you can dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid,

1 part water).

Machines with refill indicator

There is a refill indicator in the middle of the dispenser (see illustration). If the refill indicator is totally black, there is sufficient rinse aid. However, if the indicator has a more transparent appearance, you need to fill up with rinse aid (see above).

Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on the dishes, while too little can result in water stains.
