WARNING: TIP OVER HAZARD!

WARNING: SAFE OPERATION

•Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.

•DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRONICALLY GROUNDED. See Installation Guide for instructions.

•The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause serious injury. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down.

•To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.

•Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in the Use and Care Manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.

•Usecautionwhenremovingpartsforcleaningassomedebrismaybesharp.

•Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

•RISK OF EXPLOSION - 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.

•RISK OF EXPLOSION - When cleaning your dishwasher with any cleaning agent, remove all cookware, utensils or any foreign material from inside. Some cleaning agents are highly acidic and/or caustic alkaline, which can cause Hydrogen gas to form if aluminum material is also inside the

2	dishwasher tub. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Refer to the Care and
	Maintenance section of the dishwasher Use and Care manual for

instructions on how to properly clean your dishwasher.
