Important Safety Instructions

INJURY/DEATH HAZARD - Serious injury or death could result if the dishwasher

covered in this manual is operated

incorrectly or in a way other than its intended purpose. Do not use the

dishwasher covered in this manual any other way or for any other purpose than is e×piained in this manual.

Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household

dishware and kitchenware. This dishwasher is provided with a manual set

which includes Installation instructions and Use and Care instructions. Read and

understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.

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.

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

To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain

around or under the dishwasher.

,, Use only detergents or wetting agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of childen.

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.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD o Electrical

shock 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.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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.
