Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of fi re 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
you have not used your hot water system for two weeks or more, before using the
dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water fl ow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is fl ammable, do
not smoke or use an open fl ame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
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.
Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from
open fl ames.
Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted fl oor that can support its weight.
Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.
See page 11 for more information on grounding your dishwasher.
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.
The water supply line is susceptible to breakage. As time goes by, it becomes less fl exible.
Check the line periodically. If it is swollen, torn, cut, or there is a water leak, replace it
immediately.
To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operations and exercise care
when using it.
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 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.
Disconnect the power cable (or set the circuit breaker to off) before servicing your
dishwasher.
Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly, repairs
and modifi cations 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.
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.

CAUTION
When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply provides:
• An individual branch circuit serving only your dishwasher with a 120 V~, 60Hz, 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.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and then connected to
the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120 ˚F (49 ˚C) - 149 ˚F (65 ˚C).
Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply lines of various lengths up to 10 feet
(305cm) long.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
• Making water faucets easily accessible.
• Turning off faucets when the dishwasher is not in use.
• Periodically checking for leaks at water supply line fittings.
Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check all connections at the water supply valve
and faucets for leaks.

You can use the cutlery rack with the cover open. Refer to the illustration
to the right.
Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary
repairs, and lengthens its life.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the
control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or
alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by
sprinkling water over it and avoid letting water come into contact with any of the electrical parts.
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for
Home Appliances or similar product using a clean, soft cloth.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of
the dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend fi lling the detergent
dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the Normal
or Quick cycle with the sanitize option. This will keep your dishwasher clean.
If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Normal cycle with the dishwasher empty
and without detergent until it fl ushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into
the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle fi nish.
Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
