For Your Safety
• Use your dishwasher only as instructed
in this Use and Care Guide.
• Use only detergents or rinse agent
recommended for use in a dishwasher,
and keep them out of reach of children.
• When loading items to be washed:
•
Locate sharp items and knives
so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal or tub.
•
Load sharp items and knives with
the handles up to reduce the risk
of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless
marked “dishwasher safe” or the
equivalent. Check with manufacturer
for recommendations, if not marked.
Plastic Items that are not dishwasher
safe may melt and create a potential
fi re hazard.
• Do not touch the heating element
during or immediately after use.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are properly in
place.
Important Safety Instructions
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
maker sure disposer is completely empty
before running dishwasher.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher
before servicing.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on
door or racks of a dishwasher.
• Keep young children and infants away from
dishwasher when it is operating.
• 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 such a
period, before using the dishwasher turn on
all the hot water faucets and let the water
fl ow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As
the gas is fl ammable, do not smoke or use an
open fl ame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.
