IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

• Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this
Use and Care Guide.

Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep

them out of the reach of children.
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.

• 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.

• Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.

• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.

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

• Ifthe dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
make sure disposer is completely empty before

running dishwasher.

• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on
door or racks of a dishwasher.

• Keep young children and infants away from
dishwasher when it is operating.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not

been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. Ifthe hot water system has

not been used for such a period, before using the
dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let

the water flow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.

open flame during this time.

door or door latch mechanism from any

dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

doubt whether the dishwasher is properly
