[. . . ] In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the 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 and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. € Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. [. . . ] If leaks are located, immediately close the water supply and repair the hose connections. Water Pressure For best operating results, incoming water pressure should be between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch (psi). For the Best Results: Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot clean water and detergent (under pressure) against the soiled surfaces of dishes. The water is pumped through a rotating spray arm, drained through a filter (removing food and soiled particles) and pumped back through the spray arm. Soiled water is pumped out and replaced with clean water at the end of each cycle, (the number of times depends on the wash program being used). For best cleaning results, the water temperature must be at least 55ºC (130ºF). To prevent damage to the dishwasher, the temperature of the incoming water supply should not exceed 65ºC (149ºF). 4 IMPORTANT • Once you open the water supply line, (even if it is closed immediately thereafter), the inlet hose will be pressurized. € To relieve water pressure from inside the inlet hose, (make sure the water line (faucet) is closed): press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick connect until the flow of water stops. Loading your Dishwasher The dishwasher is designed to receive a standard ‘4piece’ plate setting, consisting of the following: • 4 dinner plates • 4 soup plates • 4 dessert dishes • 4 saucers • 4 cups • 4 tea spoons • 1 oval platter • 1 small serving • 1 dish • 4 glasses • 4 soup spoons • 4 forks • 4 knives • 4 dessert spoons • 2 serving spoons • 1 serving fork • 1 gravy ladle NOTE: For ease of loading/unloading large size dinner plates from the dishrack, it may be necessary to temporarily remove the silverware basket. When loading/unloading is complete, return the silverware basket to its original position. NOTE: Hard water conditions will adversely affect the washing performance of your dishwasher. Hard water conditions will also contribute to ‘lime’ (white film substance) deposits and/or ‘scaling’ on the stainless steel surface of the dishwasher tub and heater element, located in the sump underneath the removable filter screen. To assist in minimizing these conditions, it is recommended to periodically operate/rinse the inside of the dishwasher (empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week. Preparing your Dishes for Washing • • • • Scrape off all solid food particles from dishes. All dishes should be thoroughly rinsed before being placed inside the dishwasher. Note: Dishes with dried on foods are more difficult to wash and may not come clean in a normal wash cycle. Using the Right Detergent Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers (other types will cause over-sudsing). If your detergent is old and/or lumpy, throw it away, as old detergent loses its washing power and lumpy detergent won’t dissolve. Disconnecting your Dishwasher • Close the hot water supply at the faucet. Press and hold the red pressure relief button on the quick-connect until the flow of water stops. € Disconnect the quick-connect hose assembly by pulling down on the outer locking collar, (thus releasing the quick-connect from the faucet adapter). [. . . ] 4 pts) Note: Washing time may vary depending on incoming water temperature and the relevant environmental temperature. € Excess food soil and liquids should be removed from dishes before loading. Glases loaded over dishrack pins are not properly supported and are subject to damage. € This is necessary to keep the pump primed and is drained automatically at the beginning of each cycle. [. . . ]
