IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

 

 

Read all instructions carefully prior to use. For your safety, the information 
detailed in this manual should be followed. Improper use and/or handling 
can cause serious damage to the appliance and/or to the user including 
but not limited to fire, explosion, and/or electric shock, resulting in 
personal injury, or death. 
 
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this 
Owner

′s Manual. 

 
 

WATER HEATER SAFETY PRECAUTION 
 

Hydrogen gas is flammable! 

 

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water 
heater that has not been used for more than two weeks. To prevent the 
possibility of damage and/or injury, turn on all hot water faucets and allow 
them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical 
appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will 
release any built-up hydrogen gas. Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do 
not smoke, use an open flame or use any appliance during this process.

 This dishwasher should be properly installed and placed in a location in 

accordance with the Installation Instructions prior to operation.

 Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it 

is specifically recommended in this manual.  

 All other service maintenance should be completed by a qualified 

technician. 

 To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance 

from the power supply before attempting any maintenance. 

 
Turning the dishwasher OFF does not disconnect the appliance from 

the power supply. 

 

 Dispose of discarded appliances, including any shipping and packaging 

materials, properly.
