Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Ensure the dishwasher is installed by a qualified professional, following the provided installation manual. Correct plumbing and electrical connections are crucial for safe and efficient operation. Ensure the dishwasher fits properly into its designated space and that the door opens and closes without obstruction.

  4. Detergent and Rinse Aid: Use only dishwasher-specific detergents and rinse aids. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the correct amount to use. The dishwasher has indicators to let you know when to refill rinse aid and salt for the water softener. Make sure to choose the appropriate setting on your dishwasher.
