OPERATION
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of clean water and detergent (under
pressure) against the soiled surface 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 cycle being used).
NOTE:
Hard water conditions will adversely affect washability 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 minimise 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).
General Warnings and Recommendations
Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following
recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading.
Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:
Remove coarse food remains, e.g. bones, which may clog the filter or damage the wash
pump.
Soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom then load them into
the basket.
There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the
basket.
WARNINGS:
Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct
the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle.
Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the
opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain
out.
Do not stack dishes.
Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and
break.
Load large items which are most difficult to clean into the lower basket.
Make sure that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.
Items which are not dishwasher-safe:
Wooden dishes, pots or pans
