Operating Instructions To operate the dishwasher: 1. Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are correctly and securely connected. 2. Push the door release button to open the door. 3. Place the dishes on the dish rack and cutlery inside the cutlery basket. 4. Check to make sure that the rotating spray arm can turn freely all the way round. If necessary remove any obstacles. 5. Fill the detergent in the recessed area on inner door panel. (approx. 1-2 tablespoons). 6. Close the door firmly 7. Open the water supply. 8. Turn the selector switch to the desired wash program. (Intensive, Normal, Rapid). 9. Push the power (on/off) button. -Push Button in = power on -Push Button out = power off The power light will illuminate indicating the machine is receiving power. 10. The dishwasher stops automatically at the end of the program. The power light will remain illuminated, until the power (on/off) button is switched off. 11. The dishwasher is designed to stop if the door is opened accidentally during operation. 12. After washing, dishes should be allowed to cool down for about 15 minutes so they are not too hot to handle. Dishes will cool quicker if the door is opened slightly. 13. After unloading the dishwasher, remove the filter, clean off any bits of food, and put the filter back in its position. NOTE: At the beginning of each cycle, the dishwasher always starts in the "drain" mode. This is because the drain pump always retains a small amount of water (in the sump) from the previous cycle. This is necessary to keep the pump primed. Therefore, do not be alarmed if you see a small amount of water being pumped-out from the drain hose prior to the start of the regular wash cycle (THIS IS NORMAL). 7
