WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep
them out of the reach of children.
4. When loading items to be washed:
- locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and
- load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent.
For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6. Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.
7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all ENCLOSURE panels are properly in place.
8. Do not tamper with controls.
9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
11. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that
has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-
water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn
on all hot-water faucets and let the water ow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use
an open ame during this time.
12. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.

Installation requirements
To prevent a risk of re, electric shock, or
personal injury, all wiring and grounding
must be done by a qualied technician.
Power supply
• To prevent the risk of re, electric
shock, or personal injury, all wiring
and grounding must be performed in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision
and local codes and ordinances. It is the
personal responsibility of the appliance
owner to provide adequate electrical
service for this appliance.
• When preparing for installation, make
sure that your power supply provides
an individual 120 Volt, 60 Hz branch
circuit serving only your dishwasher
with a 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.
• Your dishwasher must be grounded. If
your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks
down, grounding will reduce the risk of
electric shock by providing a path of
least resistance for the electric current.
WARNING
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Use only the power plug that comes
with the dishwasher.
Grounding
For permanent grounding, the dishwasher
must be properly grounded to a grounded
metal or permanent wiring system. The
grounding conductor must be run with
the circuit conductors and then connected
to the grounding terminal or lead on the
dishwasher.
WARNING
• Do not connect the ground wire to
plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water
pipes. Improperly connected grounding
conductors may cause electric shock.
• Do not modify the power plug of the
dishwasher. If the power plug does
not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.

DD68-00250L-00_IB_DACOR_DW8700B_EN.indd 15 2024-01-11 3:09:26
Water supply
• The hot water supply line must support
water pressures between 20 psi and
120 psi (140-830 kPa).
• Water temperatures must be between
120 °F (49 °C) and 149 °F (65 °C).
To reduce a risk of leaks:
• Make sure water taps are easily
accessible.
• Turn the water tap off when the
dishwasher is not in use.
• Check for any leaks at the water hose
ttings on a regular basis.
Flooring
For safety, the dishwasher must be
installed on a solidly constructed oor.
Wooden oors may need to be reinforced
to minimize vibrations. Avoid installing
on carpet or soft tile. Carpeting and soft
tile may cause vibrations and may cause
your dishwasher to move slightly while
operating.
WARNING
Do not install the dishwasher on a poorly
supported structure.

Loading precautions
Unsuitable items for the dishwasher
Wash only items such as glass, porcelain, and cutlery which the manufacturer declares as
dishwasher safe. Do not wash aluminium (e.g. grease lters). The dishwasher may damage
aluminium, or in extreme cases, it can cause a severe chemical reaction.
Do not wash the following items in the dishwasher.
• Acrylic or aluminum items: These can discolor dishes with printed gold-rim decoration
and mar other items.
• Dishes treated with adhesive: Treated plastics can come apart. Wood, ivory, copper, and
tin glued to dishes can come loose.
• Plastics with a temperature tolerance less than 194 °F (90 °C): Thin plastics wash and
dry poorly, and may be damaged due to elevated wash temperatures.
• Tin: Tin items must be washed by hand and dried immediately. Otherwise, it can rust.
• Wooden utensils: Wooden items can crack.
CAUTION
• Do not wash items that are covered with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint.
• These materials will damage the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and will spread
inside the dishwasher.
• Remove remaining food such as large bits of food, bones,
fruit seeds, etc. and waste such as toothpicks, paper napkins,
etc. from your dishes. Food remnants and waste can
interfere with washing, make noise, cause the dishwasher to
malfunction, and damage your dishes and dishwasher.

We recommend using soft water for better results. Hard water contains impurities that can
reduce the washing performance. You will need to soften the water if the supplied water is
harder than 1.0 mmol/L (6 °d – German scale).
• To soften the water, you need dishwasher-specic salt and conguration of the water
hardness level according to your area. For more information about the water hardness
level in your area, contact your local water department.
• If the hardness level of the supplied water supply is unsteady, set the dishwasher to
the highest measurement. For example, if the water hardness reading ranges from
6.7 mmol/L to 9.0 mmol/L, set the dishwasher to 9.0 mmol/L.
• The dishwasher’s default water hardness level is 4 (5.5-7.0 mmol/L). If this setting
matches the water hardness level in your area, you do not need to change it.
• Regeneration will be operated in dry phase with an additional 2.3-2.7 L of water being
used and 22-27 minutes taken for the cycle. The energy used may be increase however
this should be by an insignicant amount.
