Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
The appliance must be plugged into a properly installed and grounded outlet that meets the voltage requirements listed on the ratings label.

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.

appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT put any object on top of the appliance and do not insert any objects (such as pins or wire) into the steam exhaust vent or any openings of the appliance.

SPECIFICATIONS

PARTS AND FEATURES

BEFORE USE

Remove all packing materials from the appliance. If there is a protective plastic film on the door or control panel, be sure to remove that. Examine the entire unit for any
damage and verify that all parts and accessories are present. Rinse the spray arm, the baskets, and the filters (fine, coarse and micro) with water and wipe off the unit with a
soft dry cloth. Place the dishwasher on a flat, level surface sturdy enough to support the unit and close enough to the sink and an electrical outlet for the power cord and
drain hose to reach.
Install the flat fine filter and cylinder filter in the bottom of the inside of the dishwasher (The cylinder filter is comprised of coarse filter and micro filter, which can be
separated by turning counter-clockwise). Turn the cylinder filter clockwise to lock in place. (Fig. 3) Attach the spray arm to the dishwasher by pushing firmly into place until
you hear a click. Make sure it is secure and can still rotate freely. (Fig. 4)

Place the folding rack and the top rack, or the fruit/vegetable washing basket, into the dishwasher, and connect the supplied drainage hose to the water outlet hole at the back of the appliance. ALWAYS be sure push the drain hose in place correctly and the connection is secure (Fig. 5). Place the drainage hose in the sink and attach with the suction
cup. The drainage hose should be kept facing downward. If the hose is a pointing upward, the maximum acceptable height is 6” (15cm) from the bottom of dishwasher.

Be sure to keep the sink clean and do not immerse the drainage hose in water to prevent sewage flowing back.
NOTE: There may be some residual moisture in the unit due to factory testing to ensure proper functioning. If this is the case, wipe the interior dry with a soft cloth.

OPERATING INSTRUCTION

LOADING THE DISHWASHER

Be sure that the dishwasher is sitting on a surface that will not be affected by the weight of it, close to the sink with the drain hose properly connected and set to drain. The
power cord should be able to reach an outlet. Plug in the dishwasher and it will beep and come on in Standby mode with just the Power button lit.
Rinse the dishes to be washed to get rid of any leftover food still on them. Open the door and pull out the racks. Load dishes so the soiled side is angled towards the spray
arm at the bottom of the unit, and avoid having items touching each other to prevent noises and possible damage during the washing cycle. If necessary, the top rack can be
removed to accommodate larger items in the dishwasher by gently lifting the front while pulling it straight out.
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery rack that slides out near the top of the cavity. Be sure that any sharp edges and points are facing down to prevent being injured.
NOTE: ALWAYS make sure items are dishwasher safe before putting in the unit. Items washed in it that are not dishwasher safe could become damaged, as well as the
dishwasher itself.
The official capacity certified by the regulatory body(DOE) is 2 full Place Settings and a full assortment of Serving Pieces with the sliding Top Rack removed and all cutlery
and utensils loaded in the Utensil Baskets in the Main Rack.
Alternatively, depending on the size of the dishes, 3 Place Settings without the full assortment of Serving Pieces can be loaded, also by removing the Top Rack and loading
all pieces into the Main Rack.

WASHING DISHES

Before shutting the door, add detergent to the Detergent Holder. You can use powder, liquid, gel or pods. Press the (Power) button and the unit will come on in
Operation Mode. Open the tank lid on the top of the dishwasher and pour in 5000 ml (5 liters) of water into the water tank. The included pitcher is 2000 ml, so it will take
2-1/2 pitchers to fill the reservoir. The refill light will shut off when full.
Select the desired function using the Wash Mode buttons, and then push the (Start/Pause) button. If the is not pressed, the unit will start the wash cycle
automatically after 10 seconds.
NOTE: If no buttons are pressed after the power is turned on, the unit will automatically go back to Standby mode after 2 minutes.
For faster and more efficient drying, open door slightly after washing dishes.

CAUTION: Be careful to avoid steam when door is opened.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Regular inspection and maintenance will help to prevent malfunction. It is recommended to check and maintain the following items.
DOOR AND DOOR SEAL
Clean door gasket with a damp cloth regularly. Never use a steam cleaner to clean the dishwasher. We are not liable for any consequential damage if steam cleaner is used. Regularly wipe the
door and control panel with a damp cloth. Do not use sponges or materials with a rough surfaces or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.
FILTER ASSEMBLY
Remove any larger food particles trapped in the filters after each wash cycle by rinsing the filters under running water. Remove the coarse and fine filter from the flat filter by turning the
assembly counter-clockwise, and separate them by also turning counter-clockwise. Rinse under running water until any food particles are removed, then reassemble and let dry. There is also a
screen filter on the water fill hole under the tank lid that can be twisted counter-clockwise to remove for periodic cleaning under running water. NOTE: The entire filter assembly should be
cleaned at least once a week.
NOTE: The entire filter assembly should be cleaned at least once.
WARNING: Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
SPRAY ARM
Check if the spray arm has deposits of grease and lime scale. Lime scale, grease and dirt in the rinsing water can block the nozzles or prevent the bearing assemblies of the spray arm from
working properly. Check the outlet nozzles on the spray arm regularly. To clean, lift the spray arm upwards to detach from the dishwasher and clean it under running water. Replace in the
dishwasher after cleaning and lock the spray arm into position.
If needed, add dishwasher detergent and start the [Heavy wash] mode in an empty chamber.
WASTE WATER PUMP
Larger food remnants which are not filtered out by the filtration system may block the waste water pump. Rinsing water will not be pumped out and result in a blockage. If this happens, turn off the unit and disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Remove all the filters and remnants. Remove any water from inside the dishwasher and check and clean the filters.

CLEANING PRECAUTIONS

NEVER use chlorinated household detergents. Doing so can pose a health hazard.
ALWAYS unplug the appliance and let it cool down completely before cleaning.
Keep the body and door window clean. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the door window as they can scratch the surface, which may
result in shattering of the glass.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow water to penetrate any gaps in the body of the unit or the steam exhaust vent when cleaning the appliance.
If the control panel gets wet, wipe it dry with a soft and dry cloth. DO NOT use coarse materials or abrasive cleaners to clean the control panel. When cleaning the
control panel, open the door to prevent the appliance from accidentally turning on.
DO NOT use poisonous or corrosive detergents to clean the appliance.
Dry all parts thoroughly before connecting the dishwasher to an electrical outlet.
Allow the appliance to cool down completely and clean it before storing. Place the unit in a box and store in a cool, dry location.
DO NOT wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance or put any pressure on the power cord when storage to avoid damaging the power cord.
