WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or 

injury when using your dishwasher, follow all 

basic precautions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Basic Precautions Before Use

•  Read all instructions before using the 

dishwasher.

•  The manual does not cover every possible 

condition and situation that may occur.

Use the dishwasher only for intended 

function as described in this manual. 

When loading items to be washed:

•  Load sharp items and knives so that they 

are not likely to damage the door seal 

and tub.

•  Load sharp items and knives with the 

handles up to reduce the risk of injury.

•  Do not wash plastic items unless they 

are marked dishwasher safe. If not 

marked, check with manufacture for 

recommendation. Items that are not 

dishwasher safe may melt and create a 

potential fire hazard.

•  If the dishwasher drains in to a food 

disposer, make sure disposer is completely 

empty before running dishwasher.

•  Do not tamper with controls.

WARNING

For your safety, please follow the information in this manual to minimize the risk of fire, 

explosion, electric shock, and to help prevent property damage or personal injury.

Proper Installation

Please read the Installation Instructions 

carefully and follow all instructions when 

installing the dishwasher.

•  This manual does not cover every 

possible condition and situation that 

may occur. Use common sense and 

caution when installing, operating and 

maintaining any appliance.

•  Water supply inlet temperature should 

be between 120°F (48.9°C) and 135°F 

(57.2°C).

•  Dispose of the discarded appliance and 

packing material properly.

•  The dishwasher must be properly 

grounded, or it can result in a risk 

of electric shock. See Installation 

Instructions for details.

• 

If there is any damage to the dishwasher, 

please contact to your Dealer, do not 

attempt to repair or replace any part by 

yourself.

•  Do not operate your dishwasher unless all 

enclosure panels are properly in place.

•  Do not touch the heating element during 

or immediately after use, especially if the 

sanitize option has been selected.

• 

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow 

children to play in or on a dishwasher.

• 

Do not let children abuse, sit, or stand on 

door or racks of the dishwasher.

•   

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 such 

a period, before using dishwasher, 

turn on all hot water faucets 

and let water flow from each for 

several minutes. This will release 

any accumulated hydrogen gas. 

Hydrogen gas is flammable. Do not 

smoke or use an open flame during 

this time.

•  Do not store or use combustible 

materials, gasoline or other flammable 

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or 

any other appliance.

•  Use only detergents or rinse agents 

recommended for use in a dishwasher 

and keep them out of the reach of 

children.

•  Keep young children and infants away 

from dishwasher when it is operating.

•  Do not use the dishwasher if it has 

a damaged power line or plug, and 

do not plug the dishwasher into a 

damaged outlet. Failure to observe these 

instructions may result in electrical shock.

•  Remove the door to the washing 

compartment when removing an old 

dishwasher from service or discarding it.
