AVERTISSEMENT

!

Pour votre sécurité, veuillez suivre à la lettre les
directives données dans le présent manuel afin
de réduire les risques d’incendie, d’explosion ou
de chocs électriques, et prévenir les dommages
matériels et les blessures graves ou mortelles.

• Ne modifiez pas le fonctionnement des
commandes.

• Ne montez pas ou ne vous assoyez pas sur la
porte ou les paniers du lave-vaisselle, et ne les
utilisez pas de façon abusive.

• Ne jetez pas un lave-vaisselle sans en avoir
d’abord enlevé la porte ou enlevez le verrou
de la porte.

• N’entreposez pas et n’utilisez pas d’essence,
de vapeurs ou de liquides inflammables à
proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre
électroménager.

• Ne laissez pas les enfants jouer avec le lave­vaisselle ni monter dessus. Ne les laissez pas
s’introduire à l’intérieur de cet appareil ou
d’un vieil appareil qui ne sert plus.

•

Ne permettez jamais à des enfants de jouer à
proximité d’un lave-vaisselle quand vous ouvrez
ou fermez la porte. Ils peuvent se coincer les
doigts dans la porte.

BONNE DISPOSITION DU LAVE-VAISSELLE

ou jetée sont dangereuses...même si elles sont
abandonnées «juste pendant quelques jours».
Si vous jetez votre vieux lave-vaisselle, veuillez

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be
produced in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two
weeks or more, prevent the possibility of
damage or injury by turning on all hot water
faucets and allowing them to run for several
minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance which is connected to the hot water
system. This simple procedure will allow any
built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame or appliance during this process.

SÉCURITÉ DU CHAUFFE-EAU

Dans certaines conditions, il peut se former de
l’hydrogène à l’intérieur d’un chauffe-eau qui
n’a pas servi pendant deux semaines ou plus.
L’HYDROGÈNE EST UN GAZ EXPLOSIF.

Pour réduire les risques de dommages ou de
blessures lorsque l’eau chaude n’a pas été
utilisée depuis deux semaines ou plus, ouvrez
tous les robinets d’eau chaude et laissez l’eau
couler pendant plusieurs minutes avant
d’utiliser un appareil électrique raccordé au
système d’eau chaude. Vous éliminerez ainsi
l’hydrogène qui pourrait s’y être accumulé.
Puisqu’il s’agit d’un gaz inflammable, ne fumez
pas ou n’utilisez pas une flamme nue au cours
de ce processus.

will extend the cycle by 30 minutes. When this is NOT selected, the fan will
turn on to dry your dishes without added heat—and energy is saved.
HEATED DRY is not available on RINSE ONLY.

4. WATER TEMP— This button provides extra heat options to increase water temperature for

optimum performance.

NORMAL This is the default setting—provides a wash and rinse with water temperatures

up to 131°F (55°C) in the NORMAL cycle and 145°F (63°C) in POTS &
PANS.

HIGH This water temp selection provides a wash and rinse with water temperatures

RINSE ONLY for up to 6 hours.

• Select the delay start time you want by pressing the DELAY START button. Multiple pressing

will alternate the delay time between 2, 4 or 6 hours and OFF.

Start a
wash load

To start the dishwasher, close the door until it locks in place. The last used cycle will be displayed.

Selection and Option buttons, and then press the START button.

The door must be closed and latched into place to select a cycle or an option.

To interrupt/pause a cycle, press the selected cycle button. The Status Indicators will flash.

CAUTION: Be careful when opening the door; the hot steam that escapes when the door is

opened may cause injuries. Stand back as you open the door and allow the steam to
escape.

ATTENTION : Faites attention lorsque vous ouvrez la porte. La vapeur brûlante qui s’échappe

lorsque vous ouvrez la porte pendant un programme de lavage peut causer des
brûlures. Lorsque vous ouvrez la porte, reculez et laissez la vapeur s’échapper de
l’appareil.

To restart the wash process, close the door until it locks in place. Re-press the cycle button. There
may be a time delay of up to a few minutes, because the temperature inside the dishwasher needs to
stabilize before it starts the wash cycle. During this time the SENSING light will be on.

To cancel the cycle after it has started, press and hold the START/CANCEL button for 3 seconds.
The dishwasher will then drain and the cycle indicator lights will flash. At this point a new wash cycle
can be selected. If a new cycle is not selected, all the Cycle Indicator lights will go out after the
dishwasher drains. If you have selected a new wash cycle, remember to add more detergent to
the detergent compartment if required.
