IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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.

■

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.

WARNING

HEALTH HAZARD!

Never use harsh chemicals to

clean your dishwasher. Some

bleach-based products can

damage your dishwasher and

may present health hazards!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded to

a metal, permanent wiring system or

an equipment grounding conductor

must be run with the circuit

conductors and connected to the

equipment grounding terminal or

lead on the dishwasher. See the

Installation Instructions included with

this dishwasher for more information

on electrical requirements.

WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

This appliance must be

grounded. In the event of a

malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of

electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for

electric current. This appliance

is equipped with a cord having

an equipment-grounding

conductor.

Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor

can result in risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt

whether the appliance is

properly grounded.
