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 evi-
dence 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 6" (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 electri-

cians should perform electrical work. Do not attempt
any work on the dishwasher electric supply circuit
until you are certain the circuit is de-energized.

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

electrical connections are properly made.

The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the
dishwasher electrical installation is in compliance with

all national and local electrical codes and ordinances.
The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply

of 120V, 60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-
dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a

installed or removed to reduce the likelihood of

damage to the power cord.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

If using a solder joint instead of a compression fitting, be
sure to make all solder connections before connecting the

water supply line to the dishwasher.

Make sure there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water
line that might restrict water flow.

Always use the appropriate seal when making plumbing

connections.

Before connecting the water supply line to the dishwasher,
flush the incoming water line for approximately 5 minutes
to clear any foreign material.
Turn on the water supply and check for leaks after

connections are made.

Avoid Scald Hazard

Do not perform any work on a charged hot water
line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified
plumbers should perform plumbing work. Do not
attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water

supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water

supply is shut off.
