Loading the Dishwasher

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove the large food

particle to prevent the filter from becoming clogged, which results

in reduced performance.

If the pots and pans have baked-on food that is extremely hard to

remove, we recommend that they be allowed to soak before they

are washed. This will eliminate the need for extra wash cycle.

Pull out the rack to facilitate loading the dishwasher.

How to Use the Lower Rack

We recommend that you place the items which are the most diffi-

cult to clean items on the lower rack: pots, lids, serving dishes and

bowls, as shown in the figure to the right.

It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the sides of the

racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation of the top spray arm.

- Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed face down.

- Deep pots should be slanted to allow the water to flow out.

- The silverware basket can be doubled (see fig.A) so that only

  one section may be used when the silverware load is light. This

  also makes space for additional pots and pans on the lower

  rack.

- Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the

  handles at the bottom; if the rack has side baskets, the spoons

  should be located individually into the appropriate slots. Espe-

  cially long utensils should be placed in the horizontal position at

  the front of the upper rack.

How to Use the Upper Rack

The upper rack is designed to hold more delicate and lighter

dishware, such as glasses, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as

well as plates, small bowls and shallow pans (as long as they are

not too dirty).

Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not get moved

by the spray of water.

The upper rack can be adjusted for height. (See fig.B)

Shelf

Lean tall glasses and those with long stems against the shelf-not

against other items to be washed(see fig.C).

Starting  the Appliance

Starting a wash cycle

- Make sure that the plug for the appliance is inserted into the wall

  socket.

- Make sure that the water supply is turned on to full pressure.

- Load the dishwasher (see the section entitled, "Loading the

  Dishwasher").

- Pour in the detergent (see the section entitled, "Salt, Detergent

  and Rinse Aid").

- Turn the knob located on the right of the control panel in the

  clockwise direction until the number or symbol for the cycle sec-

  tion entitled, "Wash Cycle Table").

- Press the ON-OFF button, and the ON-OFF light will turn on. At

  this point, the wash cycle will begin.

Cancelling or modifying a wash cycle setting

 Press the ON-OFF button and the ON Light will turn off. Rotate

the knob in the clockwise direction to the desired cycle setting

(see the section entitled, "Starting a wash cycle..."). Then, turn

the dishwasher back on using the ON-OFF button.

At the end of  the wash cycle

When the knob stops turning and is aligned with a STOP mark

(see figure), the cycle has finished. Turn off the appliance using

the ON-OFF button, turn off the water supply and open the door

of the dishwasher.

Wait a few minutes before unloading the dishwasher to avoid

handling the dishes and utensils while they are still hot and more

susceptible to breakage. They will also dry better.
