properly installed and located
in accordance with the

Installation Instructions before
it is used. 
If you did 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
equipment-grounding conductor

conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or

lead of the appliance,

—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 

 powder or 

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 

 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 all 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.

turn on all hot water faucets and
allow them to run for several
minutes before using
