energy
High temperature water and dishwasher detergent may form a chemical synthesis that can
damage certain items.

levers catch in the same height
position.

CAUTION:Make sure that
the rack is empty. Changing
the height setting while the
rack contains tableware
could cause the contents to
dislodge, causing personal
injury or damage to the
tableware.
2) Height Setting - when basket is
filled (model depending)
The upper basket includes a mechanism
which enables the height of the basket
to be adjusted up (1) or down (2) without

Lower Basket
Folding Racks
Folding racks consisting of four parts
that are located on the lower basket of your
machine are designed in order to let you
place big items easier such as pots,
pans, etc. If requested, each part can be
folded separately, or all of them can be
folded and larger spaces can be
obtained. You can use folding racks by
raising them upwards, or by folding.
Silverware Basket ( (Model
Depending)
Silverware basket is designed to wash
your dishes such as knife, fork, spoon, etc.
in a cleaner manner.
Since the cutlery basket can be moved ,
you can create a wider space while placing
your dishes to the lower basket and free
up space for your dishes in different sizes.
The upper cutlery basket is designed for you to place forks, spoons and knives, long dippers and small
items.
Because it can easily be taken out of the machine, it allows your dishes to be taken out of the machine
along with the basket after washing.
The Upper Cutlery Basket is composed of two pieces; if you need to make space for the dishes in the
upper basket, you can take out the left or right part of the upper cutlery basket in order to obtain more
space.
.
Warning: Knives and other sharp objects must be placed horizontally in the cutlery basket.

Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering
dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water
from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of water to check the temperature.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water
heater thermostat setting.
NOTE: The program duration may change according to the amount of dishes,
the ater temperature, the ambient temperature and selected additional functions.
NOTE: The energy-usage label is based on the "Regular" program. This program
is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption at cleaning
normally soiled dishes.
