Important Safety Precautions
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more
weeks.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all
hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance con-
nected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas
is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER
An empty dishwasher can be dangerous for children and small animals. If disposing of the dishwasher, remove
door gasket, latch, and the entire dishwasher door from your unused appliance so that children or small animals
cannot be trapped inside.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO PREVENT MINOR INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to the
touch. Use care before handling.
Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as
electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint
brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the dish-
washer and discoloration or staining of the dishwash-
er may result.
Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is
used by or near children. Do not allow children to play
around the dishwasher when closing the door, or while
adjusting the basket due to the possibility of small fin-
gers being pinched.
Load light-weight, dishwasher-safe plastic items so
they do not become dislodged and drop at the bottom
of the dishwasher—they might come into contact with
the spray arms and heating element and be dam-
aged.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
If the electric supply provided does not meet the
above specifications, it is recommended that a li-
censed electrician install an approved outlet.
This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz,
and connected to an individual, properly grounded
branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit
breaker or time-delay fuse.
Your dishwasher circuit should not be used for any
other appliance while the dishwasher is in operation
as the dishwasher requires the full capacity of the
circuit.
If you dishwasher is connected to a wall switch, en-
sure that the switch is on prior to use.
If you choose to turn the wall switch off between
wash cycles, allow 5-10 seconds after turning the
switch on before touching Start to allow the control to
initialize.
