PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER
Junked or abandoned dishwashers are
dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a
few days.” If you are getting rid of your old
dishwasher, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher:
■
Take off the door of the washing
compartment or remove the door latch
keeper (as shown).

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
■
Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents
or rinse agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of
children.

■
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely
to damage the door seal.
■
Load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
■
Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.
■
Do not wash plastic items unless marked
dishwasher safe
or the equivalent. For
plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
■
Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such
as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters
and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage
to dishwasher and discoloration or staining of
dishwasher may result.
■
Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
■
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
■
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children.
■
Load light, plastic items so they will not
become dislodged and drop to the bottom
of the dishwasher—they might come into
contact with the heating element and be
damaged.
