GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a permanently connected appliance: This appliance must be connected to grounded metal, a permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

The dishwasher is very heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry a dishwasher alone. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or similarly qualiﬁed person in order to avoid a hazard.

Do not touch the power cable with wet hands.

Do not connect another appliance to the same power outlet as the dishwasher.

Make sure to use a new water supply line. Old lines are susceptible to breakage because they become hardened and may cause property damage due to a water leakage.

The dishwasher must be connected to a hot water supply between 120 ˚F(49 ˚C)~ 149 ˚F (65 ˚C). This temperature range provides the best washing result and shortest cycle time. Temperature should not exceed 149 ˚F (65 ˚C), to prevent damage to dishes.

Ensure that the water supplied to the dishwasher does not freeze. Frozen water can damage the hoses, valves, pump, or other components.

Certiﬁed residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. (NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers)

For a full list of safety information, please refer to the User Manual.
