Only use the provided and labelled dishwasher detergent. Do not use regular dish soap.

IF YOU OPEN THE DISHWASHER DURING A CYCLE

Opening the dishwasher pauses the wash cycle.

Simply closing the door will not restart the cycle.

If the dishwasher is left paused, it may beep periodically until the cycle is resumed.

HEARING A REPEATING BEEP?

If you hear a repeating beep coming from the kitchen after the dishwasher has been opened, please check the dishwasher before assuming the sound is coming from a smoke detector.

To resume the cycle:

1. Close the dishwasher door firmly.

2. Press START/CANCEL once.

3. The dishwasher will continue the interrupted cycle.

CANCELLING A CYCLE

1. Close the dishwasher door.

2. Press and hold START/CANCEL for approximately 3 seconds.

3. Allow the dishwasher to finish draining.

HELPFUL TIPS

- Place plastics, glasses, and smaller items in the upper rack.

- Make sure tall dishes do not interfere with the spray arms.

- Avoid stacking or overlapping bowls and plates.

- Place sharp utensils pointing downward in the cutlery basket.

- Cycle times may vary depending on water temperature and how heavily soiled the dishes are.
