Avoiding General Hazards
WARNING
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 6 inches (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.
