WARNING WATER HEATER SAFETY Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.

TO PREVENT MINOR INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to

the touch. Use care before handling. Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is

used by or near children. Do not allow children to play around the dishwasher when closing the door, closing the upper rack, or while vertically adjusting the upper rack due to the possibility of small fingers being pinched.

Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the dishwasher and discoloration or staining of the dishwasher may result.

Load light-weight, plastic items so they do not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasherthey might come into contact with the heating element and be damaged.

Upper Rack The upper rack is for glasses, cups and saucers. This is also a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics. A cup shelf may be placed in the up or down position to add flexibility. The upper rack is good for all kinds of odd-shaped utensils. Saucepans, mixing bowls and other items should be placed face down. Secure larger dishwasher-safe plastics over 2 tines when possible. Make sure small plastic items are secure so they cant fall onto the heater. Be sure that items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack and block rotation of the middle spray arm. This could result in poor wash performance for items in the upper rack.

Lower Rack When loading the lower rack, do not load large platters or trays in the front left corner. They may prevent detergent from circulating during the wash cycle. The lower rack is best used for plates, saucers and cookware. Large items should go along the sides. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back. The soiled side of items should face the center of the rack. Also, be careful not to let a portion of an item such as a pot or dish handle extend through the bottom rack. This could block the wash arm and cause poor washing results.

Silverware Basket The silverware basket may be used without the topper for quick loading. With the topper, flatware is better positioned for the dishwasher to thoroughly wash and dry all pieces by preventing nesting. Without the topper

in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they dont nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top. With the topper

lids from small containers, in the bottom of the basket and snap the topper in place. Insert spoons and forks,

knives, blades first, through the holes in the topper.

For best dishwashing results, follow these loading guidelines.

Dont let any item extend

Check the Water Temperature The entering water should be at least 120F (49C) and not more than 150F (66C) for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer.

Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

Dispensers

Use a Rinse Agent

glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.

Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. (104 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month.

1 Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2 Turn the dispenser cap counterclockwise and lift out.

3 Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to allow rinse aid to settle.

4 Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming inside the dishwasher.

5

Rinse Aid Setting The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If water drops or hard water spots remain on dishes after the dry cycle, increase the setting.

To adjust the setting

Turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent, clockwise to reduce the amount of rinse agent.

Detergent Dispenser The detergent dispenser has two compartments. To open, press the button and the cover will flip back. The pre-wash compartment is on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Use the pre-wash compartment only when your water is extremely hard or when you have a heavy soiled load. The pre-wash compartment is not used when tablet or packet detergents are used.

You may use tablet, packet, powder, liquid or gel automatic dishwasher detergent. Make sure you use only detergents specifically labeled for use in automatic dishwashers. Never use liquid hand dish detergent in an automatic dishwasher. Sudsing and poor wash performance will result with the use of improper detergents. Detergents should be stored in a dry location and in their

detergent in the cup just prior to starting the dishwasher and then close the cover. The cover will open during the wash cycle.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser Haier recommends using detergent in tablet or packet form. Independent testing has shown this form of detergent is very effective in the dishwasher. Simply put a tablet or packet into the main wash compartment

the tablet or packet must be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent cup. If the tablet or packet is tossed in the bottom of the dishwasher, the detergent will be flushed down the drain in a very short period of time and will thus be wasted. Wash performance will be very poor as a result. If you choose to use detergent in powder, liquid or gel form, the amount of detergent you use will be determined by the hardness of your water, the temperature of your water, and the food soil load inside the dishwasher. Contact your water company to get information about the hardness of the water in your area. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Use this information and the table above to determine the amount of detergent to use. You may purchase a hard water test strip from GE Appliances. Call 1-877-959-8688 and ask for part number WD01X10295. In Canada, call 1-800-661-1616.

Using too much detergent with very soft and/or very hot water may cause a condition called etching on your glassware. Etching is a permanent cloudiness in your glassware. This condition is irreversible. However, using too little detergent will cause poor wash performance.

Use the table as a starting point and then adjust the amount of detergent you use. Use just enough to get good wash performance. Using just the right amount of detergent will provide great wash performance without wasting detergent or etching glassware. DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet. Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored. While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated for automatic dishwashers.

Forget to Add a Dish? Additional items may be added to the dishwasher at any time, ideally items would be added shortly after starting a wash cycle.

Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub The stainless steel used to make the dishwasher tub and inner door provides the highest reliability available in a Haier dishwasher. If the dishwasher tub or inner door should be scratched or dented during normal use, they will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect their function or durability.

Cleaning the Exterior Door Panel Before cleaning the front panel, make sure you know

of your model number. You can locate your model number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If your model number ends with BB, CC or WW then you have a painted door panel. If your model number ends with SS, then you have a Stainless Steel Door panel. Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel for your specific model. Painted Door Panel (model numbers ending in BB black, CCbisque or WWwhite. Use a clean, soft, lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly.

Stainless Steel Door Panel (model numbers ending in SS) For cleaning rust and tarnish, cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser will remove rust, tarnish and small blemishes. Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel. For other blemishes and marks, use Stainless Steel Magic or a similar product using a clean soft cloth. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach or products containing chlorine on Stainless Steel.

Cleaning the Filters Inspect and clean the filters periodically. This should be done every month. If there is a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, this is also an indication the filters need to be cleaned. To clean the filters, remove the bottom rack. Lift out the main filter and cup assembly. Lift out the fine filter.

Once cleaned replace the fine filter followed by the cup and main filter assembly. Be sure to press them in place as improper replacement of the filter may reduce the performance level of the appliance.

Cleaning the Spray Arms Because hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings, it is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly. To remove the spray arm, twist the retaining nut 90 degrees and pull the spray arm off the shaft. Wash the arms in soapy, warm water and use a soft

2 Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve.

3 Drain water from the water inlet line and water valve. (Use a pan to catch the water.)

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap? An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.

Problem Possible Cause What To Do Dishes and flatware not clean

Main filter or fine filter is clogged

See the Care and Cleaning section.

Low inlet water temperature Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see the USING THE DISHWASHER section). Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, let run until the water temperature stops rising. Then start the dishwasher and turn off the faucet. This ensures the entering water is hot.

Water pressure is temporarily low

Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual? If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.

Air gap or disposer is clogged

Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.

No high drain loop Installation Instructions.

Improper rack loading Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent dispenser or the wash arms. See the Loading section.

Poor performing detergent Use a highly rated detergent. Spots and filming on glasses and flatware

Extremely hard water Use rinse agents to prevent spots and prevent new film build-up. If water is extremely hard, a softener may be required.

Low inlet water temperature Make sure water temperature is at least 120F (49C). Overloading or improper loading of the dishwasher

Load dishwasher as shown in the Loading section.

Old or damp powder detergent

Make sure detergent is fresh.

Rinse agent dispenser empty Too little or low performing detergent

Make sure you use the proper amount of highly rated detergent.

Cloudiness on glassware

Combination of soft water and too much detergent

This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from happening, use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean.

Low performing phosphate- free detergent

See A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior in this TROUBLESHOOTING section.

Water temperature entering the dishwasher exceeds 150F (66C)

This could be etching. Lower the water heater temperature.

A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior

This problem is likely caused by a low quality phosphate-free dishwasher detergent

dishwasher just after the detergent cup opens and let the dishwasher complete its cycle. This may be repeated several times a year as needed. The use of a rinse agent may help minimize a repeat build-up of film. Also, the use of a highly rated detergent will help prevent film build-up.
