OPERATION
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
• As with all equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards
exist. To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and
exercise care when using it.
• The dishwasher must be properly grounded by a professional technician. Never
connect it to an ungrounded outlet. Follow the instructions included in the installation
manual for this appliance.
• Do not use an extension cord for this appliance.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer must ensure
that dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation.
• Only connect the dishwasher to the power supply when all installation and
plumbing work is complete. Before installation or service, disconnect the power
supply to the work area by unplugging the unit, “tripping” the circuit breaker, or
removing the fuse.
WATER CONNECTION SAFETY
• Make sure the professional installing your dishwasher uses a new water supply line.
Old lines are susceptible to breakage because they become hardened and may
cause property damage due to a water leakage.
• The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply with a temperature
between 120°F and 149°F. This temperature range provides the best washing result
and shortest cycle time. Temperature should not exceed 149°F to prevent damage
to dishes.
• Ensure that the water supplied to the dishwasher does not freeze. Frozen water can
damage the hoses, valves, pump, or other components.
• Ensure that there are no visible water leaks during and after the first use of the
appliance.
• To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or
following a wash cycle, as hot water or steam may escape.
Do not use the dishwasher until it is correctly installed. Do not push
down on the door when it is open. Do not place excessive weight on
the open door.
