IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance

 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. 

If you 

not receive an Installation
Instructions sheet with your
dishwasher, you can obtain one
by contacting the service location
nearest you.

—This appliance must be
connected to a grounded
metal, permanent wiring

system; or an 
grounding conductor must be

run with the circuit conductors
and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal
or lead of the appliance.

—Connect to a properly rated,
protected and sized 

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 heating unit
and be damaged.

To minimize the possibility
of injury.

● 

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
the handles 

up to reduce the

risk of cut-type injuries.

● 

Do not touch the heating

element during or immediately
after use.

● 

Do not operate your 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.

● 

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   washing detergents

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

GAS is 

produced by the

chemical action within your
water heater. It can accumulate
in the water heater 
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 

 or appliance

during this process.
