1 SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS



Installation of this dishwasher requires basic mechanical and electrical skills.



Be sure to leave these Instructions with the Customer.



Installation must comply with your local building, electricity, and plumbing regulations.



At the completion of the dishwasher installation, the Installer must perform the Final
Checklist.



Remove all packaging materials supplied with the dishwasher.



This dishwasher is manufactured for indoor use only.



Ensure all water connections are turned OFF. It is the responsibility of the plumber and
electrician to ensure that each installation complies with all Codes and Regulations.



The dishwasher MUST be installed to allow for future removal from the enclosure if
service is required.



The switched power outlet must be outside the dishwasher cavity, so that it is accessible
after installation.



Care should be taken when the appliance is installed or removed to reduce the likelihood
of damage to the power supply cord and hoses.



If the dishwasher is to be relocated from one installation to another it must be kept
upright to avoid damage from water spillage.



Make sure only new hoses are used for connection (supplied with the dishwasher). Old
hoses should not be reused.



Failure to install the dishwasher correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.



If the product is installed in a motor vehicle, boat or similar mobile facility, you must
bring the vehicle, boat or mobile facility containing the product to the service shop at
your expense or pay the service technician’s travel to the location of the product.



This dishdrawer is intended for connection to the hot-water supply.

WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard
Before installing the dishwasher, remove the house fuse or open the circuit
breaker. If permanently connecting the dishwasher, be sure the power is
isolated and the dishwasher unplugged.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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. WARNING - Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if
you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the dishwasher is installed as a permanently connected appliance:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - This appliance must be connected to a
grounded 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 appliance.
Do not modify the power supply plug provided with the appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do
not use an extension cord, adapter plug or multiple outlet box.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock or death.

WARNING!

Cut Hazard
Take care - panel edges are sharp.
Failure to use caution could result in injury or cuts.
