When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their 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 plas-
tic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.

Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
7
To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents/legal
guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

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.

Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for service or
discarding.
11
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dish-
washer.
12
Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill
valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

For a cord-connect appliance:
• 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 and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
