2. Rotate the upper spray arm and change the
location of the container to ensure the upper spray
arm is not obstructed by the 3-in-1 tablet container.
Refer to the figure below for reference.
3. Put the 3-in-1 tablet into the container, then start
the 3-in-1 program.
NOTE:
When using 3-in-1 combination / compact Detergents
,please pay attention to make sure that the size of the
combination detergents fits to the dispenser so that
combination detergents can be easily put into the
dispenser, and the dispenser would not be broken.
LOADING THE DISHWASHER BASKET
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these
loading guidelines. Features and appearance of
baskets and cutlery baskets may vary from your
model.
Attention before or after Loading the Dishwasher
Baskets.
Scrape off any large food particles. Soften remnants of
burnt food in pans.
It is not necessary to rinse the dishes under running
water. Place objects in the dishwasher in following
way:
1. Items such as cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc. are
faced downwards.
2. Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be
loaded aslant so that water can run off.
3. All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip
over.
4. All utensils are placed in the way that the spray
arms can rotate freely during washing.
Very small items should not be washed in the
dishwasher as they could easily fall out of the baskets.
Removing the Dishes
To prevent water dripping from the upper basket into
the lower basket, we recommend that you empty the
lower basket first and then the upper basket.
Loading the Upper Basket
The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate
and lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea
cup and saucers, as well as plates, small bowls and
shallow pans (as long as they are not too dirty).
Position the dishes and cookware so that they do not
get moved by the spray of water.

Adjusting the Upper Basket
Your dishwasher comes with an adjustable top rack
(basket) illustrated below. Its height can be adjusted
by lifting the handle in a downward or upward direction
(please see the photos below showing position 1 &
position 2).
POSITION 1
POSITION 2
NOTE: Ensure the
metal rod is located
in its correct position.
NOTE: The upper rack has side flaps (pictured at left
above basket). There are 4 (2 on each side). These
can be adjusted into 2 positions = position 1 (high)
and position 2 (low).
To move the flaps between these positions, locate the
large hinges clip each flap to the upper rack. There are
two of these at either end of each flap. Gently pull
both clips off the wire rack and move the flap to the
desired position.
Position 1
The upper position will accommodate items such as
glass tumblers (placed beneath flap) and wine
glasses. Wine glasses can be placed upside down so
that the neck rests in the grooves at side of flap with
the base of the glass facing upward.
Position 2
When the flaps are moved to the lower position, they
can be used to hold additional tumblers, cups and
mugs. Always check that you are only placing items
on the flaps that will clear the ceiling height of your
dishwasher when you push the rack back in. Be
particularly careful with long-stemmed glassware
such as champagne glasses breakage hazard!
Loading the Lower Basket
We recommend that you place large items which are
most difficult to clean into the lower basket: pots,
pans, lids, serving dishes and bowls, as shown in the
figure below.
It is preferable to place serving dishes and lids on the
side of the racks in order to avoid blocking the rotation
of the top spray arm.
Pots, serving bowls, etc. must always be placed
Ÿ
top down.
Deep pots should be slanted to allow water to flow
Ÿ
out.
The bottom basket feature fold down tine rows so
Ÿ
that larger or more pots and pans can be loaded.

Folding spikes
For better stacking of pots and pans, the spikes can
be folded down as show in the picture below.
Cutlery Basket
Cutlery should be placed in the cutlery basket with the
handles at the bottom. If the rack has side baskets, the
spoons should be loaded separately into the appropriate
slots, especially long utensils should be placed in the
horizontal position at the front of the upper basket as shown
in the picture.
