Pre p a rin g to Wa sh Dish e s:
For get best results, practice the following
before you put dishware in the dishwasher:
• Discard big chunks of food from the plate
before loading.
• Remove sticky foods and loosen
burned-on foods before loading.
• Empty liquids such as juice, soup, soda,
coffee or tea from glasses and cups before loading.
• Rinse off acid based liquid, such as vinegar or lemon juice right a way. Failure to
do so may cause discoloration to plates, food containers or internal cabinet.
• Always check manufacturer’s recommendations before you start washing items.
Tip s to a vo id sta in s a n d film s:
The following suggestions are recommended to prevent stains and films
on dishware and utensils items:
• You must rinse all dishware, silverware, glassware and food containers
immediately after use. Some citric based food products, coffee, tea and iron
deposits in water can cause yellow or brown film to form on the inside surface it
left on for a long time or if rinsed immediately.
• You must check your water hardness to see whether you need to use more or less
detergent to wash. If water is extremely hard, then it may be causing stains on
items. You may need to use a water softener.
• Do not overload the dishwasher.
• Avoid improper loading.
• Be sure to use the recommended water temperature to wash dishware.
• Do not use too little detergent.
• Do not use old or damp powder detergent.
• Do not load aluminum utensils improperly. Aluminum utensils can cause gray or
black marks to appear on porcelain utensils if they are touching during wash
cycle.
1 1
English
Lo a d in g th e Lo w e r & Up p e r Ra ck :
To get maximum cleaning results, follow the
recommendations below before you start
the dishwasher:
N o te : Do not wash any heat sensitive or any other
(upper rack)
items that are not designed for automatic dishwashers.
• Keep all tall dishware and food containers away from the spray arm rotation.
• Place food containers such as cups, glasses, bowls, saucepans and casserole
dishes with soiled surface facing in the downward position.
• To avoid any type of damage to glassware such as coffee/ tea cups, beverage,
wine and champagne glasses, do not load them on the bottom rack. Place these
items on the upper rack.
• Put cups upside down on the top of the cup/ stemware rack and put wine or
champagne glasses upside down between the divided segments of the
cup/ stemware rack to secure them properly.
• Do not load dishware or food containers that are
made of wood or iron. These items are not considered
dishwasher safe.(See chart on p.18 for details.)
• Do not jam the glassware items together when
loading.
(lower rack)
• Place delicate items on the upper rack.
• Do not load tall dishware or cookware items near the middle spray arm.
• Move racks slowly in and out to avoid slamming the dishware items together.
• Make sure all dishware and glassware items are securely in place when loading
to avoid falling over or striking against each other.
Ad ju sta b le Up p e r Ra ck Sy ste m :
The upper rack has two positions, which allows you to modify the rack system
according to your current space needs. The flexibility of the upper rack is ideal for
washing tall dishware and glassware items.
For Example: Adjusting the Rack to the Lower Position allows you the flexibility to
load taller wine or champagne glasses in the upper rack, simply remove the rack
and bring it to the lower position.
1 2
English
For Example: Adjusting the Rack to Upper Position allows you the flexibility to load
tall dishes on the lower rack.
Ste p s to Re m o ve th e Ra ck
1) Open both sides of the rail guards from the upper rack.
2) Slide the rack out.
3) Close both sides of the rail guards so rack will not slide out.
Lo a d in g Silve rw a re Ba sk e t:
Simply remove the basket out of the dishwasher to load silverware and place it back
once you finish loading.
• To avoid any type of injury, load knives and forks face down.
• Try to mix spoons, knives and forks for better cleaning and
drying and to prevent nesting.
• Do not mix stainless steel and silver items because you may
damage silver finish on silver items.
• Do not load tall items next to upper spray arm because it
could be blocked.
• Do not load dishware or food containers that are made of wood or iron. These
items are not considered dishwasher safe.
• Do not load tin, pewter and non-dishware filters. These items are not considered
dishwasher safe.

English
Pro p e r Use o f De te rg e n t:
• The amount of detergent to use depends on the type of water in your living area
whether it is hard or soft and whether items are lightly or heavily soiled.
• Water softness or hardness is measured in grains content per gallon (gpg). You
can find out the gpg level by calling your local Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) in your county.
• If you find that the gpg level is higher in the water, then the water will be harder
in your living area. You will need more detergent to clean. If gpg level is lower,
then the water will be softer in your living area so you will need less
detergent to clean.
See the following table to understand the "water hardness type" and gpg level.
Water Hardness Type
gpg
10+
4-9
0-3
Hard
Medium
Soft
N o te : If gpg level is over 12, then water is very hard. You may need water
softener to improve the water quality and the performance of
your dishwashing.
N o te : The quality of the detergent will make a big difference in the cleaning of
dishes. Detergent that is damp or too old will not be as effective to clean
because the active ingredients will be phased off. Detergent will not work
properly.
N o te : Use only "Au to m a tic Dish w a sh e r De te rg e n t" for your dishwasher.
Other types of detergents that are not for dishwasher use may cause
oversudsing and foaming. Do not use detergents that are dried, caked or
moist. These types of detergents will not dissolve properly and and will clean
effectively.

English
Po u rin g Dish w a sh e r De te rg e n t:
Use the recommended amount of detergent for your wash loads. Measure and pour
the detergent into the large compartment for the main wash. The detergent for the
pre-wash goes into the small compartment next to the main wash compartment.
N o te : For the pre-wash you should use one-half the amount of detergent that you
use for the main wash.
• We recommend that you use a Rin se Ag e n t to help remove spots and prevent
new film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.

• Your incoming water must be between at least 120˚F / 49˚C and at most
150˚F / 66˚C in order to clean effectively and prevent damage to your dishware.
N o te : The minimum incoming temperature must be at 120˚F/ 49˚C in order for the
detergent to dissolve properly.
If you are unsure of the temperature of your hot water:
1. Simply open the hot water faucet and let it run for a minute and fill a glass.
2. Take a thermometer and check the temperature of the water.
3. If the temperature is below 120˚F / 49˚C, then you need to adjust the water

sure delicate items are on the side rack. We recommend that fine chinaware or
crystal items be hand washed.
• Do not jam the glassware items together when loading.
• Place delicate items on the upper rack.
• Do not load tall dishware items near the middle spray arm.
• Move racks slowly in and out to avoid slamming the dishware items together.
• Make sure all dishware and glassware items are securely in place when loading
to avoid falling over or striking against each other.
N o ise :
Some of the sounds you will hear are normal.
• You will hear the sound of the water fill and rinse.
• You will hear the drain pump motor operation to pump water out.
• You will hear the motor stopping at the end of the cycle.
• If some utensils are not secure in the rack, you will hear that they are being tossed
around the tub.
O ve rsu d sin g :
This is due to the use of regular hand washing detergent.
Detergent should be for "Automatic Dishwasher Use". You must use the proper
detergent for best dishwashing results.
Dish w a re O d o r:
• This is due to an incomplete cycle.
You need to allow the cycle to be fully completed.
• New scented detergent used.
This is normal because different types of detergents may have different
fragrances.

English
Etch in g :
• Too much detergent used.
Use the appropriate amount of detergent. Reduce the amount of detergent
used per load.
• The water temperature is too hot.
You need to lower the water temperature.
• Use of old detergent.
Read the expiration date. Avoid using old detergent. Use only fresh detergent.
• Do not pre-rinse the dishes.
Simply scrape off large food particles
Sta in e d in te rio r tu b :
• Some detergents contain colorants known as "pigments" or "dyes" that will
discolor the tub with extended use. You need to change the detergent to one
without a colorant. Read the container label carefully before using the detergent.
• Some acid based and/ or paste based foods may discolor the tub. Use of the rinse
cycle may help to decrease the level of staining.
Sp o ts & film in g fo u n d o n fla tw a re / g la ssw a re :
This is due to:
• Use of too little detergent.
• Low incoming water temperature and pressure.
• Improper loading.
• Use of old, moist and damp powder detergent.
• Hard water in your area.

Wa te r
Dra in in g Pro b le m :
• Check the level of the drain hose. The drain hose should be positioned above the
drain in order to drain properly. Make sure it is on a high drain loop (20”) above
the sub floor or floor.
• If the drain hose is bent or shrunken, it may affect water draining.
• If water can not be drained out smoothly, the dishwasher operation will be
disturbed and it may stop in the middle of the cycle.
• Make sure that the wash cycle is fully completed before you opened the
dishwasher door. If the wash cycle is not completely finished, allow the cycle to be
completed and check again.
• Make sure that the air gap is not blocked.
• If the unit is connected to a garbage disposer, make sure that it is not full. If it is,
you need to empty it.
• Check for any type of blockage near the drain and dishwasher filter area.
• If the water backs up into the sink, you need to check the garbage disposer and the
trap for blockage.
• It is normal to find some water in the sump area near the drain.
Ste p s o f d ra in in g th e w a te r o u t o f th e tu b :
1) Shut off the unit power and wait a few seconds.
2) Turn the knob to the “RINSE & HOLD” wash-cycle button.
3) Turn the power on again and you will hear a water draining noise.
4) Let the water drain out for approximately 30 seconds and shut off the unit power.
5) If there is still some water in the tub, repeat steps 1-3 again until the water is
completely drained.
6) If you still notice excessive water present in the tub after completing these steps,
call the Haier Customer Satisfaction Center for further assistance. 1-877-337-3639

Dish w a sh e r is le a k in g :
• Dishwasher is not properly leveled.
You need to place the dishwasher on a flat hard surface. Avoid an uneven
surface.
• Make sure the dishwasher is properly leveled . (See the installation instructions)
• Do not overfill the detergent or the rinse agent dispenser because it will cause
oversudsing and overflowing.
• Do not use regular type hand or dish washing detergent in the detergent
dispenser. These types of detergents are not recommended for dishwasher use.
Dish w a sh e r w ill n o t fill:
• Check the water supply.
Make sure that the water supply is in "ON" position.
• Check water pressure.
Make sure the water pressure is at the proper level. (Between 20 – 120 PSI)
Wa te r fo u n d u n d e r th e filte r:
• A small amount of water found under the filter area after completion of the cycle
is normal.
De te rg e n t fo u n d in th e co m p a rtm e n t:
• Do not load items too close to the detergent compartment. This may block the
automatic release of the detergent.
• Do not use old or caked/ dried detergent in the compartment because it will not
dissolve properly and will leave a sandy residue on dishware.
Dish w a sh e r is ru n n in g fo r to o lo n g :
• The temperature of incoming water is below 120˚F. Raising your water heater
setting will help to shorten the time of operation.
