IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
■ Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
■ Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
■ When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-
type injuries.
■ Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer's recommendations.
■ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
■ To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back must be
enclosed and the front panels must be attached before electrical
power is applied to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation
instructions for proper grounding procedures.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish
racks of the dishwasher.
■ To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or on the dishwasher.
■ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the dishwasher
turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
