CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances should be connected to a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers
only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this

owner's manual to be certain (See page 7). Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or
damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are
dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of
your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the

appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized service person.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed
in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits
the appliance.

Child Safety

• Controls may be locked using Child Lock mode to prevent settings from being changed by children.

• Keep children away from detergents and rinse-aids.

• Do not allow children to operate the dishwasher.
