General Safety Precautions
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 operate the dishwasher without the door
•
completely closed and the toe kick panel in place.
Store all detergents and rinse aids out of the reach
•
of children.
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.
Do not tamper with the controls.
•
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 child entrapment, always remove the
•
door from an old dishwasher when removing it from
service.
To prevent household mold and mildew damage,
•
periodically check the inlet and drain hoses for leaks.
If the dishwasher outlet is connected to a garbage
•
disposal, make sure the disposal is completely empty
before running the dishwasher.
To avoid damage to the racks, do not let sharp edges
•
come into contact with them.
