Detergent fossa 2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING When loading your dishwasher, follow basic safety precautions, including the following; • Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. [. . . ] € Attach the quick connect onto the faucet adapter, by pulling down the outer locking collar on the quick connect, while pushing the quick connect upward onto the faucet adapter. € When the quick connect snaps onto the faucet adapter, release the locking collar. € Slowly open the hot water line and check for any sign of water leaks at all hose connections. 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. remove excessive quantities of oil or grease. Empty any liquids from glasses and cups. 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. [. . . ] It is not necessary to add detergent to the dishwasher during the Pre-wash cycle; however, due to the short duration of the Pre-wash cycle (6 minutes only), make sure the incoming water supply is hot. Open the hot water faucet and run till hot before connecting the dishwasher. IMPORTANT Drying time for dishes will be longer after using the economy program. dishes are dried by a ‘convection’ method only. [. . . ]
