MISE EN GARDE – 

Lorsque vous

utilisez cet électroménager, observez

toujours certaines mesures de sécurité,

notamment les suivantes :

• N'utilisez le lave-vaisselle que pour l'usage

auquel il est destiné, comme expliqué dans

le présent Guide d'utilisation et d'entretien.

Avant d'être utilisé, le lave-vaisselle

doit être convenablement installé,

conformément aux Directives

d'installation.

• Cet appareil doit être relié a un système de

câblage électrique permanent, mis à la terre.

Sinon, un fil de mise à la terre pour l'appareillage

doit être installé et raccordé à la borne ou au fil

de mise à la terre de l'appareil. Voir les

instructions d’installation pour plus de détails sur

la mise à la terre.

• Pour éviter les surcharges électriques, reliez

l'appareil à un circuit d'alimentation protégé de la

puissance appropriée.

N'entreposez pas et n'utilisez pas

d'essence, de vapeurs ou de liquides

inflammables à proximité de cet

appareil ou de tout autre

électroménager.

• N'utilisez que des détergents liquides ou en

poudre et les produits de rinçage recommandés

pour lave-vaisselle.

• Ne lavez pas d'articles en plastique dans le lave-

vaisselle, à moins qu'ils portent la mention «Ne

craint pas le lave-vaisselle» ou l'équivalent.

Lorsque les articles de plastique ne portent

aucune mention, lisez les recommandations du

fabricant.

• Placez les articles légers en plastique de façon

qu'ils ne bougent pas ou ne tombent pas au fond

de l'appareil pendant le lavage. Ils pourraient être

endommagés s'ils entrent en contact avec

l'élément chauffant.

Pour réduir

e les risques

de blessures

AVERTISSEMENT

La vaisselle lavée à l’aide du programme

SaniWash peut être chaude. Procéder avec

précaution lors du déchargement.

Lorsque vous chargez le lave-vaisselle :

A.

Placez les articles pointus ou tranchants de

façon qu'ils n'endommagent pas le joint de

la porte;

B.

Placez ces articles le manche vers le haut

pour éviter de vous couper.

Ne modifiez pas les commandes.

• Ne touchez pas à l'élément chauffant pendant ou

immédiatement après le lavage.

• Ne faites pas fonctionner votre lave-vaisselle à

moins que toutes les parois du lave-vaisselle

soient fermées.

• Ne vous assoyez pas et ne montez pas sur la

porte ou les paniers du lave-vaisselle, et ne les

utilisez pas de façon abusive.

• Il faut exercer une étroite surveillance lorsque

vous faites fonctionner cet appareil en présence

d'enfants. Ne les laissez pas jouer avec l'appareil

ni monter dessus, ou s'introduire à l'intérieur d'un

vieil appareil qui ne sert plus. Jetez de la façon

appropriée les vieux électroménagers ainsi que le

matériel d'emballage. Enlevez toujours la porte

d'un vieux lave-vaisselle que vous jetez.

• Gardez tous les détergents

et produits de rinçage hors

de la portée des enfants, de

préférence dans une armoire

verrouillée. Observez toutes

les mises en garde sur les emballages afin d'éviter

les accidents.

• Pour réduire les risques de secousses électriques,

débranchez toujours l'appareil avant de le réparer. 

REMARQUE : 

Lorsque vous mettez la

commande à OFF (arrêt), le courant qui alimente

l'appareil n'est pas coupé. Nous vous

recommandons de confier la réparation de votre

appareil à un technicien qualifié.

MISE EN GARDE –

De 

L'HYDROGÈNE 

se forme dans

votre chauffe-eau sous l'effet d'une

réaction chimique. Il peut s'accumuler dans votre

chauffe-eau et(ou) dans la canalisation d'eau

chaude qui n'a pas été utilisée pendant deux

semaines ou plus. L'HYDROGÈNE EST UN GAZ

EXPLOSIF. Pour réduire tout risque de dommages

ou de blessures, si l'eau chaude n’a pas été utilisée

depuis deux semaines ou plus ou si vous

aménagez dans une résidence dont le système

d'eau chaude n'a pas été utilisé depuis quelques

temps, ouvrez tous les robinets d'eau chaude et

laissez l'eau couler pendant plusieurs minutes

avant d'utiliser un appareil électrique raccordé au

système d'eau chaude. Vous éliminerez ainsi

l'hydrogène qui pourrait s'y être accumulé.

Puisqu'il s'agit d'un gaz inflammable, ne fumez pas

ou n'utilisez pas une flamme nue au cours de ce

processus.

WARNING -  

When  using this

appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following.

• Use this appliance only  for its intended

purpose, as you will find described in this Use
and Care Guide.

This dishwasher must be properly
installed and located in accordance with
the Installation Instructions before it is
used.

- This appliance must be connected to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment-
grounding conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead of the appliance. See
Installation Instructions for grounding details.

- Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized

power-supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

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 powder or liquid detergents or wetting
agents recommended for use in a dishwasher

• Do not wash plastic items unless marked

"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer's
recommendations.

• 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
Calrod® heating element and be damaged.

To minimize the possibility of
injury.

CAUTION

Contents washed in SaniWash cycle may be hot to
the touch. Use care before unloading.

• When loading items to be washed:

A. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely

to damage the door seal, and

•   B. Load sharp knives with handles up to reduce

the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not touch the Calrod® heating element during

or immediately after use.

• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all

enclosure panels are properly in place.

• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish

rack of the dishwasher.,

• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is

used by or near children. Do not allow children to
play inside, on or with this appliance or any
discarded appliance. Dispose of discarded
appliances and shipping or packing material
properly. Before discarding a dishwasher, remove
the door of the washing compartment.

• Keep all washing detergents

and wetting agents out of the
reach of children, preferably
in a locked

cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels
to avoid personal injury.

• To minimize the possibility of electric shock,

disconnect this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any maintenance. 

NOTE:

Turning the control dial to the OFF position does
not disconnect the appliance from the power
supply. We recommend having a qualified
technician service your appliance.

WARNING-HYDROGEN GAS

is

produced by the chemical action
within your water heater. It can
accumulate in the water heater and/or

water pipes if hot water has not been used for a
period of two weeks or longer. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent the possibility of
damage or injury, if you have not used hot water for
two weeks or more, or moved into a residence in
which the hot water system may not have been used
for some time, turn on all hot water faucets and
allow them to run for several minutes before using
any electrical appliance which is connected to the
hot water system. This will allow any hydrogen gas
to escape. Also, since the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this
process.
