GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT: to get the best performance from your dishwasher, read all operating instructions for the dishwasher prior to first use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
What is the Rinse Aid Dispenser?
The rinse aid dispenser holds and releases a special liquid during your dishwasher’s final rinse cycle to help dishes dry quickly and without any streaks. You can find the rinse aid dispenser inside your dishwasher next to the detergent dispenser.
How to Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
- Locate the dispenser on the inside door of your dishwasher.
- Open the cap.
- Pour liquid rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black, around 3.7 fluid ounces.
WARNING
Only use branded rinse aid for the dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid aid dispenser with any other substances, not even a cleaning agent or detergent. This will damage your dishwasher.
When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid indicator light should turn on to let you know when to refill the dispenser. However, you can also check on the level of rinse aid by using the rinse aid indicator located next to the dispenser’s cap. When the dispenser is full, the indicator will show a completely dark dot. As the rinse aid level decreases, the dot will shrink, as illustrated below.
WARNING: DO NOT LET THE RINSE AID LEVEL GO BELOW 1/4 FULL.
To open the dispenser, turn the cap towards the left, aligning it with the arrow on the left side. Lift it up.
To close, realign the cap with the left arrow and place on the dispenser. Turn towards the right until it lines up with the right-sided arrow.
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
NOTE: Increase the level if there are water droplets or lime spots on your dishes after a wash cycle. Reduce it if there are white spots on your dishes, or a blue film on glassware and cutlery
HOW TO USE DETERGENT
Why is Detergent Important?
Detergent is necessary to clean your dishes. It’s important to only use detergent specifically made for dishwashers with your dishwasher. Store the detergent in a dry place, and only put it in the dispenser when you’re ready to wash dishes.
What Type of Detergent Can I Use?
You can use three types of detergents:
- Those with phosphate and chlorine
- Those with phosphate and without chlorine
- Those without phosphate or chlorine
Note that phosphate softens water, so if you’re using detergent that does not contain this compound, we recommend filling the salt container with salt so your dishes do not dry with white stains. If this does occur, wash again with more detergent. Detergents with chlorine can remove some stains when used with a high temperature program.
Can I Use Concentrated Detergent?
Yes. Concentrated detergents, or those that contain natural enzymes and are low in alkalinity, are gentler on your dishes and the environment. You can achieve the same cleaning results with these types of detergents on a “normal” wash cycle as you can with conventional detergents on a “heavy” wash cycle. This is because the water facilitates the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in concentrated detergents.
Can I Use Detergent Tablets?
Yes, but different tablet brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, select long wash programs to ensure that the tablets have fully dissolved and reached their full cleaning potential.
HOW TO USE DETERGENT DISPENSER
How Do I Use the Detergent Dispenser?
Refill the dispenser before the start of each wash cycle, following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent than a conventional dishwasher, so you generally only need one tablespoon of detergent for a normal load. Note that dirtier dishes will need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher. Otherwise, the detergent could get damp before use and not dissolve properly.
How Do I Fill the Detergent Dispenser?
NOTE: Only use branded detergent for this dishwasher.
WARNING: Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep out of reach of children
The markings indicate detergent levels and dosing levels (as illustrated on the right). Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. Please observe the manufacturer's dosing and storage recommendations as stated on your detergent packaging. Close the lid and press down until it locks into place. If the dishes are dirtier than normal, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash chamber to use during the pre-wash phase of your wash cycle.
Find information on detergent amount for the single program on the last page of this manual. Please be aware that you may experience different results due to water properties and the dirtiness of your dishes. Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the detergent packaging.
HOW TO LOAD THE DISHWASHER BASKETS
Recommendations
- Buy dishwasher-proof utensils.
- Use a mild detergent. If necessary, check your detergent manufacturer to make sure it is safe for all dishware.
- For delicate items, choose a low temperature program.
- To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery out of the dishwasher immediately after the program has ended.
What Can I Put in the Dishwasher?
NEVER
- Cutlery with wooden, horn china, or mother of pearl handles
- Older cutlery with glued parts that are not heat resistant
- Cutlery or dishes bonded with glue
- Pewter or copper items
- Crystal
- Steel items that can rust
- Wooden platters
- Items made from synthetic fibers
SOMETIMES
- Glasses — certain types can become dull after many washes
- Silver and aluminium items — these can discolor during washing
- Glazed or painted item — colors and patterns may fade after frequent washing
How Do I Load the Dishwasher Baskets?
For best performance, follow these loading guidelines.
Features and appearance of shelves and cutlery baskets may vary from your model.
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften any burnt food left in pans. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running water.
Place objects into the dishwasher in the following way:
- Items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. go face down.
- Curved items should be loaded at a slant so water can run off of them.
- Utensils should be stacked securely so they cannot tip over.
- Utensils should be placed away from spray arms so they can rotate freely during washing.
NOTE: Do not place small items that may fall out of the basket into the dishwasher
HOW TO LOAD THE DISHWASHER BASKETS
Position the dishes and cookware so that they will not be moved by the spray of water.
Basket Plate Racks
The basket is fitted with plate racks that can be stowed horizontally if required.
How Do I Load the Cutlery Basket?
Cutlery should be placed in the basket with their handles facing downward towards the bottom. If there are side baskets, use them to load spoons individually into the appropriate slots. It’s important that long utensils are placed horizontally at the front of the basket.
WARNING: Do not let any item extend through bottom. Always load sharp utensils with the sharp point down!
For safety purposes and best performance, place cutlery in the basket so that:
- They do not nest together.
- Their handles face downwards.
- Sharp points and blades are facing downwards.
HOW TO SELECT A WASH CYCLE
NOTE:
THIS MEANS YOU NEED TO FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER.
THIS IS THE TEST CYCLE. THE RINSE AID DISPENSER LEVEL IS RECOMMENDED AT “3.”
How Do I Turn on the Dishwasher?
To start the wash cycle:
1. Pull out the basket. See “How Do I Load the Dishwasher?” for instructions.
2. Load detergent. See “How to Use Detergent” for instructions.

NOTE: To pause the dishwasher while washing, press the start/pause button. The dishwasher will pause and blink the program light. It will remain like this until you start it again.
HOW TO SELECT A WASH PROGRAM
How Do I Change the Wash Program?
You can change your wash cycle only if it has been running for a short time and the detergent has not yet been dispensed. If the detergent has already been dispensed, you will need to refill the dispenser again. See "How Do I Use Detergent" for instructions.
To change the wash program, press and hold the program button for more than three seconds. The machine will enter standby mode where you can then change the setting. See “How Do I Select a Wash Cycle?” for instructions.
The lights will show the state of the dishwasher:
- a) All phase lights off -- On stand by
- b) The display light steady (not blinking) -- Paused
- c) The display light blinking -- Running
You can add a dish at any time before the detergent is dispensed. To do so:
- Press the start/pause button.
- Crack the door open to stop the wash cycle.
- Once the spray arms stop moving, open the door completely.
- Add your dishes to the basket.
- Close the door.
- Press the start/pause button again and the dishwasher will run after ten seconds.
What Do I Do After the End of the Cycle?
When the cycle is finished, the buzzer will sound for eight seconds before shutting off. Press the power button to turn the dishwasher off. Shut off the water supply and open the door. Wait a few minutes before handling your dishes to allow them to dry and become less susceptible to damage. The dishwasher will automatically enter standby mode, then turn off after 30 minutes.
How to Turn off the Dishwasher
The program has ended when all of the phase lights are off. Then:
- Press the power button to turn the dishwasher off.
- Turn off your water tap.
Note: Open the Door Carefully
Hot dishware is senstive and can break easily. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the dishwasher to prevent damage.
To do this, crack open the dishwasher’s door open and leave it ajar for a few minutes. This will allow your dishware to cool and dry.
How to Unload the Dishwasher
Note that it is normal for the dishwasher to be wet inside.
WARNING! It is dangerous to open the door when washing, because hot water may scald you.
FILTERING SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS
How Does the Filtering System Work?
The filter prevents larger remnants of food and other objects from getting inside the pump.
WARNING! Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. Improper placement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the dishwasher and damage dishes and utensils.
How to Assemble the Filter
The filter efficiently removes food particles so that the water can be recycled during the wash cycle. For best performance, regularly check the filters. Remove larger food items trapped in the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the filter under running water. To remove the filter assembly, pull upwards on the filter assembly's handle.
NOTE: To reinstall the filter system, place all three parts back together, rotate clockwise and push downwards.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE FILTERING SYSTEM
Remember:
- Inspect the filters for blockage after each wash cycle.
- To remove blockages, unscrew the coarse filter to remove the filter system. Remove any food and clean the filters under running water.
- Clean the entire filter assembly once a week.
How to Clean the Filter
Use a cleaning brush to clean the coarse and fine filter
WARNING! When cleaning the filters, do not knock them against surfaces. This can contort the filters and affect and the performance of your dishwashed.
CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER
- Use a lightly dampened cloth to clean the control panel. Dry thoroughly.
- Use a dishwasher polish wax on the exterior.
- Never use sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.
How to Clean the Door
To clean the edge around the door, use a soft, warm, damp cloth. Do not use a spray cleaner of any kind to avoid getting liquid on the door lock and electrical components.
WARNING! Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or rough paper towels to prevent scratching or marring the stainless steel surface.
How to Protect Against Freezing
Please take frost protection measures on dishwasher in winter. After each wash cycle, do the following:
- Turn off the power to the dishwasher.
- Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet pipe from the water valve.
- Drain water from the inlet pipe and water valve. Use a pan to catch the water.
- Reconnect the water inlet pipe to the water valve.
- Remove the filter at the bottom of the tub and use a sponge to soak up the water in the sump.
NOTE: If your dishwasher cannot work because of the ice, please contact hOme customer service at 1-800-898-3002
CARING FOR THE DISHWASHER
How Do I Clean the Spray Arms?
The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their holders, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.
To remove the spray arm, pull the middle of the arm upwards. Wash them under running water and carefully place them in their positions in the dishwasher. Double check that they rotate properly after cleaning.
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR DISHWASHER
Turn Off Water
After every wash, turn off the water supply and leave the door slightly open so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Store Properly
When not in use for a longer period of time, we recommend that you run a wash cycle while the dishwasher is empty. Then, remove the plug, turn off the water supply, and crack the door open slightly. This will help maintain the quality of the door seal and prevent odors from forming in the dishwasher.
Unplug the Dishwasher
Always unplug your dishwasher from the socket before cleaning or performing maintenance checks.
Keep in a Vertical Position
If you need to move the dishwasher, try to keep it in a vertical position. If necessary, it can be positioned on its back, but this is not ideal.
Do Not Use Abrasive Cleaners
Do not use abrasive cleaning products on the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher. Instead, use a cloth with warm water and soap. To remove stains from the interior surface, use a cloth with vinegar, or a cleaning product specially designed for dishwashers.
Clean the Seal
Odors may form in the dishwasher if food becomes trapped in the seals. To prevent this, periodically clean the seals with a damp sponge.
