Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

DANGER

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: 

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

  

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

  

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

  

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a 

dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

  

When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the 

door seal; and

2) 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 recommendations.

  

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

  

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, lid, or dish racks of 

the dishwasher.

  

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or 

on 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 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 or lid to the washing compartment 

when removing an old dishwasher from service or 

discarding it.
