REFERENCE
WARNING!
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
•
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
•
Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended
for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the
reach of children.
•
When loading items to be washed:
– locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal, and
– load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the
risk of cut-type injuries.
•
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations.
•
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
•
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack
of the dishwasher.
•
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or on a dishwasher.
•
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-
SIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for
two weeks, before using the dishwasher turn on all
hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke
or use an open flame during this time.
•
Remove the door to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding
it.
•
Read the grounding instructions in the installation in-
structions.

Child safety
TIP!
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so
always keep them out of reach of children.
•
Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse
aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or two
glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting.
Seek medical advice immediately: Call the National
Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.
•
Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon
as you put in the detergent.
•
Always keep small children away from the machine when
it is open. There may be some detergent residue left
inside the machine.
•
If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse
them with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Winter storage/transport
Store the dishwasher above freezing and avoid long trans-
port distances in very cold weather. Transport the dishwash-
er upright or laying on its back.
Overflow guard function
The overflow protection starts pumping out the machine
and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dish-
washer exceeds the normal level. If the overflow protection
is triggered, turn off the water supply and call the Customer
Care Center.
Packing material
The packaging protects the product during transport. The
packaging material is recyclable. Separate the different
packaging materials to help reduce raw material use and
waste. Your dealer can take the packaging for recycling or
direct you to the nearest recycling center. The packaging
is comprised of:
•
Corrugated cardboard made from up to 100% recycled
