"WARNING," These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

immediately follow instructions,

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

• 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:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to

damage the door seat; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce

the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unlessthey are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic

items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

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

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

• Do not tamper with controls.

• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

• 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. If the 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. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using Your Dishwasher

Tip Over Hazard Do not use dishwasher until completely installed. Do not push down on open door. Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher.

Connect ground wire to green ground connector

in terminal box. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher: The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event

of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher isequipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro- priate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with

the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a

proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a

grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run

with the circuit conductors and connected to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the

dishwasher.

SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS

Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve.

Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See "Storing Your Dishwasher" in the "Dishwasher Care" section for winter

storage information.

Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the

weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such

as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See

Installation Instructions for complete information.
