WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when 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. The fumes can create a fire

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

this or any other dishwasher. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. 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.

Electrical Connection

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 cod es. 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

from the power supply. We recommend having a qualified technician serv ice your appliance.

Water Heater Safety

Under certain conditions hydrogen may be produced in a water he ater that has not been use d 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 an y 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.

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher. Do not t ouch the heating element during or immediately after 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 pan els are properly in place. Open the door

very carefully if the dishwasher is operating, there is a risk of wate r squirting out. Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The applianc e 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. Please dispose of packing materials properly. Use the dis hwasher only for its intended function. Remove the door when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it. Do not tamper with controls. Do not t ouch the heating element during or immediately after use.
