DISHWASHER SAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

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

DANGER

WARNING

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:

follow instructions.

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You instructions.

■ 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 handles 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 touch the heating element during or immediately

after use.

■ Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

are properly in place.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Do not open dishwasher drawer until inside cabinet opening.

Doing so can result in death or serious injury.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, 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 or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

WARNING

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

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 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 equipmentgrounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipmentgrounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

If direct wiring dishwasher:

■ Use flexible, armored or nonmetallic sheathed, copper wire

with grounding wire that meets the wiring requirements for your home and local codes and ordinances.

■ Use strain relief method provided with house wiring junction

box or install a UL-listed/CSA-certified clamp connector to the house wiring junction box. If using conduit, use a UL-listed/CSA-certified conduit connector.

If connecting dishwasher with a power supply cord:

■ Use Power Supply Cord Kit (Part Number 4317824) marked

for use with dishwashers. Kit contents include:

■ Voltex, Inc., UL listed 16 gauge 3 wire power supply cord

with 3 prong grounded plug.

■ Neer C-500 ⁷⁄₈" strain relief.

■ 3 wire connectors.

■ Part No. 302797 grommet.

Follow the kit instructions for installing the power supply cord.

■ Power supply cord must plug into a mating three prong,

grounded outlet, located in the cabinet next to the dishwasher opening. Outlet must meet all local codes and ordinances.

IMPORTANT: If you plan to install a garbage disposer, an additional separate 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply is required.

Drain Requirements

■ Use the new drain hose supplied with your dishwasher. If this

is not long enough, use a new drain hose with maximum length of 12 ft (3.7 m) that meets all current AHAM/IAPMO test standards, is resistant to heat and detergent, and fits the 1" (2.5 cm) drain connector of the dishwasher.

■ Connect drain hose to waste tee or disposer inlet above drain

trap in house plumbing and 20" (50.8 cm) minimum above the floor. It is recommended that the drain hose either be looped up and securely fastened to the underside of the counter, or be connected to an air gap.

■ Use a drain air gap if the drain hose is connected to house

plumbing lower than 20" (50.8 cm) above the subfloor or floor.

■ Use ½" (1.3 cm) minimum I.D. drain line fittings.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Contact a qualified electrician. Ensure that the electrical installation is adequate and in

conformance with all national and local codes and ordinances. You must have:

■ 120-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15 or 20 amp fused electrical supply.

■ Copper wire only.

We recommend:

■ A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

■ A separate circuit.
