safety information
Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
- 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.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
Do not push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the dishwasher or cause harm.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
- 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 to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
Disconnect the power cable (or disconnect the circuit breaker) before servicing your dishwasher.
Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. They may harm themselves or damage the 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 do not get trapped inside.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
safety information _5
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.
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.
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.
Do not put gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials inside the dishwasher. Do not wash dishes exposed to these materials.
Keep your dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children. Detergent has an adverse 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 install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from open flames.
If the dishwasher is left unused for an extended period of time, turn off the water supply.
This dishwasher is intended for residential use only.

warning sound. Refer to the information codes page.
Delay a cycle for up to 24 hours in one-hour increments. The hour displayed indicates the time at which the wash will be started.
The temperature rises to 162 ˚F (72 ˚C) in the final rinse cycle for high temperature sanitization.
If you select the Sanitize option, the “Sanitize” indicator blinks when the water temperature meets the sanitary temperature (over 155 ˚F (68 ˚C)), and then illuminates for 10 minutes at the end of the cycle while it sanitizes.
The Sanitize feature is in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Your dishwasher is NSF Certified. The cycle that is NSF certified is the Heavy Cycle with the sanitize option selected.
You can select the appropriate wash cycle depending on the soil level of your dishes. When a cycle is selected, the indicator for that cycle lights up. If you want to cancel the selected cycle, press the selected cycle button again.
