IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Read and observe all
CAUTIONS
and
WARNINGS
shown throughout these
instructions. While performing installations described in this booklet, gloves and
safety glasses or goggles should be worn. Basic precautions before use:
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• NOTE:
This Installation Manual does not cover every possible condition and
situation that may occur.
• Use the dishwasher only for the intended functions as described in this Installation
Manual.
• To ensure the longevity of the dishwasher’s optimal wash performance, we
recommend rinsing off any large pieces of food from your dishes prior to placing
them in the unit for a wash cycle.
• When loading items to be washed:
• Load sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door
seal, racks, spray arms, and tub.
• Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of being cut
or suffering other injury.
• Do not wash plastic items (e.g. plastic tableware or Tupperware) unless they
are marked dishwasher-safe or the equivalent. If not marked, check with the
manufacturer for recommendation — items that are not dishwasher-safe may melt
and create a potential fire hazard.
• If the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposal, make sure disposal is
completely empty before running dishwasher.
• Do not tamper with the control panel on the dishwasher.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use, especially if the
sanitize option has been selected.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, or stand on the door or racks of the dishwasher, and
do not allow children to tamper with the spray arms, baskets, or other elements
inside the unit. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and
keep them out of the reach of children and pets.
