WARMNG : When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

WARNING

t. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them
out of the reach of children.

4. When loading items to be washed:

locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and
load sharp knives with the 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

plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

6. Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.

7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all ENCLOSURE panels are properly in place.

8. Do not tamper with controls.

9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

t0. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
t 1. 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.

t2. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from

service or discarding it.

/_ WARNING:

wA.""_.,.This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and

reproductive toxicity.

o

CAUTION O

After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.
The dishwasher is extremely heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry the dishwasher by

yourself. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries.

o As with any equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards exist.
o Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from

open flames.

Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted floor that can support its weight.

o Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet. See

page 7 for more information on grounding your dishwasher.

o Connect the ground wire to the green ground connector in the terminal box.

After the dishwasher is installed, check that the drain hose is properly connected and
that there is no leakage from the hose connectors. If the drain hose is loose, it may cause

property damage.

o The water supply line is susceptible to breakage. As time goes by, it becomes less flexible.

Check the line periodically. If it is swollen, torn, cut, or there is a water leak, replace it

immediately.

o To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operations and exercise care

when using it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

English o 4

o Do not put gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials inside the dishwasher. Do not

effect on human organs. It contains elements for polishing and is corrosive. Avoid letting the
detergent come into contact with your skin and eyes.

Do not push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the

dishwasher or cause harm.

Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. They may harm themselves or damage

the dishwasher.

dishwasher.

• Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly, repairs,
and modifications are permitted by authorized service technicians only. Work done by an

unauthorized person may void your warranty.

• Before disposing of your dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment or the
door latch so that children or small animals cannot get trapped inside.

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be

done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision and
local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide
adequate electrical service for this appliance.

....... When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply provides:

o An individual 120 Volt, 60Hz branch circuit serving only your dishwasher with a 15 AMP fuse

or circuit breaker

Your dishwasher must be grounded. If your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks down, grounding
will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric

current.
