IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Please READ
and SAVE this information
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered
in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original
replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment
factory replacement parts.
Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly
installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual
unless you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly
grounded.
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing products can damage your dish-
washer and may present health hazards!
Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6 for soil removal and sanitation efficacy.
There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a certified machine have passed the sanitiza-
tion performance test.
Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for the possible
damages or consequences.
It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water
supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or contact your
installer for more information.
NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
/ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electr!cal
shock, or serious injury, observe the following:
1 This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and under-
stand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2 This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conduc-
tor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on
the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on elec-
trical requirements.
3 Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchen-
ware.
4 Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach
of children.
5 When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plas-
tic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
6 Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
7 To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
8 When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents/legal
guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
9 Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for
two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water
system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
10 Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for service or
discarding.
11 To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dish-
washer.
12 Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill
valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.
13 For a cord-connect appliance:
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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 modify the plug provided with the appliance, if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
