Important Safety Instructions - Save This Information

ATTENTION

Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for possible damages or consequences.

ATTENTION

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing cleaning products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

ATTENTION

It is highly recommended for the end use consumer 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 speak with your installer for more information.

WARNING

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 on the following pages.

WARNING

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualied service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualied service technician using only original equipment factory replace-

ment parts.

WARNING

Electrical shock or re 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 if you are not certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

• This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. See the

included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.

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

• This dishwasher is provided with before using the dishwasher.

• Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

• When loading items to be washed:

- Locate sharp items so that 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 plastic 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.

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

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

• When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure

that they are instructed in safe practices by qualied persons.

• 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 ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.

• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.

• To avoid oor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

• Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the ll valve. Damage caused by

freezing is not covered by the warranty.

the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be removed by using a soap-lled steel wool pad.

China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted pieces may discolor, fade, or spot. Hand-wash these pieces. Position fragile glassware so that it will not topple over or contact other pieces during the wash cycle.

Glass: Milk glass may yellow.

Non-Stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.

Plastics: Make sure the piece is dishwasher safe.

Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, and Silver Plate: Place these pieces so that they do not contact

dissimilar metals.

Not Recommended

Acrylic: Crazing (small cracks throughout the acrylic) may occur.

Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel copper,

tin, etc. may loosen.

Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.

Iron: Iron will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.

Preparing and Loading the Dishware

Dishware Preparation

Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones, seeds, toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require pre-treatment.

Loading the Dishwasher

Check the Materials section of this manual if you are unsure about an item’s dishwasher suitability.

Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so that the insides of bowls, pots, and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.

Loading the Top Rack

Figures 1 and 2 show typical 10 and 12 place load patterns for the top rack.

NOTE: Make sure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.

ATTENTION

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with objects such as paper products, plastic bags, packing materials, or anything other than normal dishware and kitchenware. Do not load the dishwasher with anything other than dishwasher-safe dishware and kitchenware.
