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.
