This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar 
environments.

Basic precautions before use:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

The manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that 
may occur.

Use the dishwasher only for intended function as described in this 
manual.

When loading items to be washed:

Load sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the 
door seal and tub.

Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of 
cut-type injury.

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or the 
equivalent, if not marked, check with manufacture for recommendation, 
items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire 
hazard.

If the dishwasher drains in to a garbage disposal, make sure disposal is 
completely empty before running dishwasher.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly 
in place.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use, 
especially if the sanitize option has been selected.

Do not let children abuse, sit, or stand on door or racks of the dishwasher.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water 
system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS 
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, 
before using on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for 
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. 
Hydrogen gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an open flame during 
this time.
