•	Detergent should be added into the detergent compartment before starting each program 
(except for the prewash program).
•	 The proper amount of detergent leads to the best performance.
Use only special detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. (Ordinary handwashing 
detergent should not be used, as the foam can interfere with the proper operation).

old chemicals 
should be treated as toxic and kept out of the reach of children.

filling the rinse aid dispenser
Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid.The use of a rinse aid greatly improves the drying performance during the drying cycle.
1.  Push and turn the dispenser knob counterclockwise to 
open the cover.
2.  Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to 
“max”. Avoid overfilling the dispenser.
3.  Adjust the amount of rinse aid released during the rinse 
operation. 
You can adjust the amount over six levels (1~6). The 
greater the number, the larger the amount of rinse aid 
released. The factory default is 6. 
When the rinse dispenser is filled, it is good for about 40 
washes. 
If you feel uncomfortable adjusting the leveler, using a 
couple of coins will make your adjustments easier.
4.  Close the cover. 
Turn the dispenser knob clockwise.
We strongly recommended using only liquid rinse aid.

							28_ cleaning and maintaining your dishwasher
cleaning and maintaining your 
dishwasher
Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary 
repairs, and lengthens its life.
CLeAnInG The exTerIor
It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft damp cloth on the 
control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, t\
hinner, chlorine bleach, or 
alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and may cause stai\
ns. Do not clean the dishwasher by 
sprinkling water over it and avoid water coming into contact with any of\
 the electrical parts.If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, it can be cleaned w\
ith a stainless steel cleaner for 
Home Appliances or similar product using a clean, soft cloth.
CLeAnInG The InTerIor
Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the 
dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend running the dishwasher 
periodically (using a Quick or Rinse Dry program with the Sterilization option) with an empty load after 
inserting dishwasher detergent. This will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Quick program without loading dishes 
until it flushes, then interrupt the cycle and add 200 g cup of white \
vinegar solution into the bottom basket 
and finish the cycle. Do not use detergent. Do not remove the Seal tub front (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
CLeAnInG The nozzLes
If the cleaning performance of your dishwasher is continually low or the\
 nozzles seem clogged, you can 
clean each of the nozzles. When removing the spray arm, take care as they may break.
Lower spray arm
1. Use a sharp object such as a toothpick to 
remove leftovers from the spray arm.
2.  Remove the bottom basket.
3.  Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to 
remove it.
4.  Use a pointed object such as a toothpick to 
push food particles into the spray arm jets.
5.  Rinse thoroughly under running water.
6.  Return the spray arm and check that it rotates freely.
