WARNING

Avoiding General Hazards

Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When opening the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious injury.

Before installing the “L”-shaped supplied countertop mounting brackets (select models), decide which method will be used to secure the dishwasher into its opening. Once these mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher.

In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive.

Before filling a dishwasher from a system that has been off for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evidence of gas.

Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6Ǝ (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s base and water inlet valve.

Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet can expose hot water connections, electrical power and sharp edges or points. Handle with care.

Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards Do not allow the electrical and water supply lines to

touch. Separate channels are provided under the dishwasher.

Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could result in serious injury or death. Only qualified electricians should perform electrical work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply circuit until you are certain the circuit is deenergized.

Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be no loose electrical connections. Ensure all electrical connections are properly made.
