Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when

WARNING using your dishwasher, follow these basic precautions:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned dishwashers are still dangerous. . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”

Before you throw away your old appliance: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the dishwasher. Never clean dishwasher parts with flammable fluids.

Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other dishwasher.

Plug the dishwasher into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized Avanti Products service center

Electrical Connection

Warning

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center.

This dishwasher should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this dishwasher is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.

Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit. Never use a two-prong grounding adapter.

Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced with a 3-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

This dishwasher requires a standard 110/120 volts A.C.~/60hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.

The cord should be secured behind the dishwasher and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.

Connect to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system: or run an equipment grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance form the power supply before attempting any maintenance. Note: Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance.

Water Heater Safety

Under certain conditions hydrogen may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive.

If the hot water has not been use for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

WARNING

READ FOR PROPER USE

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer recommendations.

Use only detergent and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. Using detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.

Keep children away from detergent and rinse aid, keep children away from the open door of the dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left inside.

The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard. During installation, the power supply must not be excessively bent or flattened.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.

Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is operating, there is a risk of water squirting out.

Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward.

When loading items to be washed:

1)Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;

2)Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

When using your dishwasher, you should prevent plastic items form contacting with heating element.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
