This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the

•
Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.
•
This dishwasher is provided with

. Read and understand all instructions
before using the dishwasher.
•
Use only detergents or rinsing 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.
-
Load knives and other sharp utensils with their 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 your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
•
Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
•
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
•
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
•
When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure
that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
• 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. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or
longer, 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 explosive, 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.
• To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
• Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by
freezing is not covered by the warranty.
