Important Safety Instructions
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.
This Manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use 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.
Dispose of discarded appliance and shipping or packing material properly.
To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from
any dishwasher that is discarded or not in
use.
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.
Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children.
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. Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Dishwasher Features
Your dishwasher cleans by spraying a mixture of hot water and detergent through the spray arms
against soiled surfaces. Each cycle begins with a pre-drain. Next, the dishwasher fills with water covering the filter area. Water is then pumped through the filter and spray arms. Soil particles go down the drain as the water is pumped out and replaced with clean water. The number of water fills
will vary with the cycle being used.
