IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INJURY/DEATH HAZARD - SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD RESULT IF THE DISH-
WASHER COVERED IN THIS MANUAL IS OPERATED INCORRECTLY OR IN A WAY OTHER
THAN ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. DO NOT USE THE DISHWASHER COVERED IN THIS
MANUAL IN ANY OTHER WAY OR FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE THAN IS EXPLAINED IN
THIS MANUAL.
1. Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware
and kitchenware.
2. This dishwasher is provided with two manuals; one Installation Instruction Manual, and one Use
and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out
of the reach of childen.
4. When loading items to be washed:
a. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
b. Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plas-
tic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
7. Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
8. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
9. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
10. 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. Before using a dishwasher that is
connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accu-
mulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this
time.
11. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding.
12. To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or
under the dishwasher.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD - ELECTRICAL SHOCK COULD RESULT IF THE ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY FOR THE DISHWASHER COVERED IN THIS MANUAL IS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED
OR IF THE DISHWASHER HAS BEEN IMPROPERLY GROUNDED. DO NOT USE THE DISH-
WASHER COVERED IN THIS MANUAL IF YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN THE ELECTRICAL SUP-
PLY HAS BEEN CORRECTLY INSTALLED OR THE DISHWASHER HAS BEEN PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded to a 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. See the Installation Manual included with this dishwasher for
more information on electrical requirements.

of your dishwasher.
2. Winterizing Your Dishwasher
If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time
in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a
holiday home or through a vacation period), you must drain all the
water from the dishwasher's interior.
a) Turn off the water supply.
b) Disconnect the drain hose, and allow your dishwasher to
completely drain into a bucket or other appropriate receptacle.

make sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.
5. Check/Clean the Filter System
Your dishwasher has a filter system that is made up of a Large
Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly and a Fine Filter. The filter
system is located on the dishwasher floor and is easily accessible.
