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 seal; and
2. Load sharp knives with the handless up to
reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are
marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.
For plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid,
or dish rack 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 or lid to the washing
compartment when removing an old dishwasher
from service or discarding it.

How to test ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
This product is provided with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
located on the front base of the dishwasher inside the cabinet. A GFCI is
designed to protect you against the dangers of line to ground electrical
faults. If the appliance develops a fault of this type, the GFCI is designed
to disconnect the power to the appliance. This is a built-in safety feature.
The GFCI should be tested once a month.
GFCI test procedure: this MUST be done once a month.
1. Unscrew two bolts (A) and remove GFCI cover (B) located on the
front base of the dishwasher inside the cabinet.
2. Make sure that indicator (D) is in “1” position.
3. Turn on dishwasher if it is off – press main switch (C) to “on” position
(LED’s are lighting).
4. Press TEST button (E). Indicator should switch into “0” position.
5. Switch back indicator into “1” position.
6. Replace the GFCI cover and screw down two bolts.
NOTE: If the GFCI fails this test , do not use this dishwasher. Please call
the Customer Care Centre immediately.
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 is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into
an appropriate 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.
