WARNING

TIP OVER HAZARD!

Dishwasher must be installed immediately and secured with 

mounting brackets to avoid tip over . A child can tip the dish-

washer and be seriously injured if the door is opened before it is 

installed . (

see Installation Guide for instructions

)

WARNING

SAFE OPERATION

• 

Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which  is the washing of 

household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe .

• 

DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRONICALLY GROUNDED . See Installation 

Guide for instructions . 

• 

The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause 

serious injury . Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down . 

• 

To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or 

following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape . Do not fully open 

the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided .

• 

Misuse of the dishwasher can result  in serious injury or death . Do not use 

the dishwasher in any way not covered in the Use and Care Manual or for 

any purpose other than those explained in the following pages .

• 

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher . Some bleach-based 

products can damage your dishwasher and may present  health hazards!

• 

Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris may be sharp .

• 

Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher .

• 

RISK OF EXPLOSION - 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 .  Before using a dishwasher that is 

connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or 

longer, 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 explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during  this time.

• 

RISK OF EXPLOSION - When cleaning your dishwasher with any cleaning 

agent, remove all cookware, utensils or any foreign material from inside .  

Some cleaning agents are highly acidic and/or caustic alkaline, which 

can cause Hydrogen gas to form if aluminum material is also inside the 

dishwasher tub .  Hydrogen gas is explosive . 

Refer to the Care and 

Maintenance section of the dishwasher Use and Care manual for 
instructions on how to properly clean your dishwasher.
