WARNING WARNING
General Safety Precautions
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow
basic safety precautions, including the following:
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• This appliance is designed for installation by
more than one person. To avoid personal injury,
do not attempt to move or lift the dishwasher
without assistance.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in
the area where the dishwasher is in use.
• Use only detergents and rinse aids recommend-
ed for use in a residential dishwasher. Keep
them out of the reach of children.
• Never allow anyone, including children, to sit or
stand on any part of the dishwasher. Stepping
or sitting on any part of it may result in tipping,
damage and serious injury.
• If the dishwasher drain outlet is connected to
a garbage disposer, make sure the disposer
is completely empty before running the
dishwasher.
• Do not operate the dishwasher without the door
completely closed and all enclosure panels
properly in place.
• Many surfaces within the dishwasher can
achieve high temperatures. Do not touch
interior surfaces or items inside the dishwasher
during or immediately after use. Exercise
caution when opening the door. Let hot air and
steam escape before looking or reaching inside.
• During loading, insert all sharp or pointed
objects with the handles up. Locate these items
where they will not damage the door seal or
cause personal injury.
• To avoid damage to the racks, do not let sharp
edges come into contact with them.
• 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 a period of time, turn on all
hot water faucets and let the water flow for
several minutes to release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this process.
• To prevent household mold and mildew
damage, periodically check the inlet and drain
hoses for leaks.
