WARNING

When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function. . Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before

attempting to service.

. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back

must be enclosed and the front panels must be attached before electrical power is applied to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for proper grounding procedures.

5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized

power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

6. Children

play in, with, or around this dishwasher.

7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be

washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of

the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It will be hot.

produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this process.

Hot Water

For optimal cleaning and drying results, hot water is necessary. The incoming water temperature should be 120° F (49° C) to properly activate the detergent and melt greasy food soils.

To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher and let it run into a glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass and check the temperature once it has stopped rising.

Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water filming/spotting and poor drying. Too much detergent can cause permanent etching/cloudiness.

The amount of detergent to use is determined by the hardness of the water and soil level of the load. Refer to the following char recommendations.
