SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING!
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
•
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
•
Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them
out of the reach of children.
•
When loading items to be washed:
– locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and
– 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 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 or dish rack 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 two weeks, 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 hydro-
gen 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.
•
Read the grounding instructions in the installation instructions.
General

the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.
