Important Safety Instructions

^WARNING

Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children.

This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as personal injury, burns, fire, and electrical shock.

^WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the following:

Read all instructions before using your

dishwasher.

Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this

Use and Care Manual.

Instructions appearing in this Use and Care Manual are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Practice common sense and caution when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions for details.

This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if dishwasher is connected with a food waste disposer.

Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place.

To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt and create a potential fire hazard.

If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer, make sure disposer is completely empty before running dishwasher.

Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

Do not tamper with controls. Do not touch the heating element during or

immediately after use. When loading items to be washed:

- Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door seal or tub.

- Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Keep young children and infants away from

dishwasher when it is operating.

Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on

door or racks of a dishwasher.

Use only detergents and rinse agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Dish Preparation

Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuous filtered wash system will remove remaining food particles.

Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty liquids from glasses and cups.

Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may

cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics

if allowed to sit for a long period of time. Unless the dishwasher is to be operated at once, it is best to rinse off these food soils.

• Load racks so that large items do not prevent

the detergent dispenser from opening.

• Check manufacturer’s recommendations before

washing items in question.

If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,

be sure disposer is completely empty before starting dishwasher.
