KitchenAid KUDM220T - Important Safety Instructions

Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using
your dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
2. This dishwasher must be properly
connected to electricity and water.
3. Use the dishwasher only for its intended
function.
4. Use only detergents and rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher,
and keep them out of the reach of
children.
5. When loading items to be washed:
a. Locate sharp items so that they are
not likely to damage the door seal.
b. Load sharp knives with the handles
up to reduce risk of cut-type injuries.
6. DO NOT wash plastic items unless
marked "dishwasher safe" or the
equivalent. For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturers'
recommendations.
7. DO NOT touch the heating element
during or immediately after use. Element
must cool at least 20 minutes to avoid
injury.
8. DO NOT operate your dishwasher
unless all enclosure panels are properly
in place.
9. DO NOT tamper with controls.
10. DO NOT abuse, sit on or stand on the
door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
I!. To reduce the risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or on a
dishwasher.
12. If hot water has not been used recently
(usually two weeks or longer),
hydrogen gases may build up in the
water heater and the hot water pipes.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
To prevent injury or damage, before
using your dishwasher, turn on all hot
water faucets and allow water to run
for several minutes. This will allow
gases to escape. Do not smoke or use
any open flame near the faucet while it
is open.
13. When discarding an old dishwasher,
always remove the door to prevent
accidental entrapment.
14. Install the dishwasher on a floor that is
level and strong enough to support the
weight.
15. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect
electrical power supply to dishwasher
before attempting to service.
