Important Safety Instructions
Products with a label have been listed with
Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. – those with a CSA tag
have been listed with Canadian Standards Association.
Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using electricity and moving parts, there is a potential hazard.
WARNING – When using your dishwasher,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
attempting to service.
4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and
back must be enclosed and the front panels must
be attached before electrical power is applied to
the dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for proper grounding procedures.
5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or
play in, with, or around this dishwasher.
7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to
be washed, sharp or pointed items should be
located with the handles up. Also,load sharp items
so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of
the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It
will be hot.
9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed
for an automatic dishwasher. Never use soap,
laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in
your dishwasher . K eep these products out of reach
of children.
10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks
of the dishwasher.
11. 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, 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 process.
12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
13. Do not tamper with controls.
14. Always remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher.
Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle
has completed.

Loading
Before You Start
• Don’t Prerinse. Simply scrape off any bones or
large food particles.
• If connected to a food waste disposer, mak e certain the
disposer is empty before starting the dishwasher.
• Scrape off tomato-based food soils (see page 8).
General Recommendations
• Place all items in the racks so they are separated
and facing center.
• Items can be centered behind a single tine or loaded at
an angle to maximize space.
• Remove certain foods (such as mustard, mayonnaise,
lemon juice, vinegar, salt or dressings) from stainless
steel flatware as soon as possible. These foods may
cause rusting and pitting if allowed to remain in contact
with the surface for an extended period of time.
• Load items so they do not rest over the top of the wash
tower.
• Avoid blocking the upper and lower spray arms by not
allowing items to extend beyond the racks.
