IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

When using your dishwasher, follow basic 
precautions, including the following:

•  Do not tamper with controls. 

•  Use care unloading the dishware when 

the SANITIZE option has been selected.  
Contents may be hot to the touch 
immediately after the end of cycle.

•  Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas 

may be produced in a hot water system 
that has not been used for 2 weeks or 
more.  HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.  If 
hot water system has not been used for 
such a period, before using dishwasher, 
turn on all hot water faucets and let water 
fl ow from each for several minutes.  This 
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.  
HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE.  Do not 
smoke or use an open fl ame during this 
time.

gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and 
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other 
appliance.

•  Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher 

before servicing.

•  Repairs should be done by a qualifi ed 

technician.

•  To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, 

remove door or door latch mechanism from 
any dishwasher that is discarded or not in 
use.

•  When loading items to be washed:

         -Locate sharp items and knives so that  
         they are not likely to damage the door  
         seal or tub. 

         -Load sharp items and knives with   
         the handles up to reduce the risk of cut- 
         type injuries.

For your Safety

•  Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this 

Use and Care Manual.

•  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.

•  This dishwasher is designed to operate on 

regular house current (120V, 60Hz).  Use 
a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse 
or circuit breaker.  Use a 20 ampere fuse if 
dishwasher is connected with a food disposer.

•  Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure 

panels are in their proper place.

•  Keep young children and infants away from 

dishwasher when it is operating.

•  Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on
