Important Safety Instructions

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.

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.

Preparing and Loading Dishes

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.

Loading the Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, small

plates, saucers and bowls. Load glasses in top rack. Damage may occur if

placed in bottom rack. Load plastic items in top rack only. Melting may

occur if placed in bottom rack.

Load items with open ends facing down for better

cleaning and draining.

Damage may occur if delicate items touch each

other during dishwasher operation.

Long-handled knives and utensils can be placed in

top rack.
