DISHWASHER SAFETY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■
Do not tamper with controls.
■
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or
dish racks of the dishwasher.
■
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on a 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 to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding it.
WARNING:
When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY 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 your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
