INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR DISHWASHER
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, fol-
low basic precautions, including the
following:
Read all instructions before using the dish- •
washer.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended
•
function.
Use only detergents or rinse agents recom-
•
mended 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 chil-
•
dren 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. HY-
DROGEN 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 dish-
washer from service or discarding it.
You need to:
Slowly open dishwasher drawer while some- •
one grasps the rear of the dishwasher. Re-
move shipping materials. Close dishwasher
door. Latch the dishwasher door shut.
Observe all governing codes and ordi-
•
nances.
Install this dishwasher as specified in these •
instructions.
Have everything you need to properly install
•
dishwasher.
Installation should be performed by a qualified •
service technician. The dishwasher must be
installed to meet all electrical and plumbing
national and local codes and ordinances.
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until completely
installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or
cuts.
