W A R N I N G
To avoid the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury
when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions
including the following.
• This dishwasher must be properly connected to an
appropriate electrical supply, water supply, and
drain.
• The dishwasher must be securely mounted to the
cabinet.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
• Use only detergents and rinse agents
recommended for use in household dishwashers,
and store them in a safe and dry environment away
from the access of children.
• When loading items to be washed, place sharp
items so that they are not likely to damage the
door seal and load sharp knives with the handles
up to avoid the risk of personal injury.
• DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.
DO NOT operate your dishwasher unless all
•
nclosure panels are properly in place.
e
DO NOT abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish
•
rack of the dishwasher.
• DO NOT tamper with controls.
• To reduce the risk of injury, DO NOT allow children
to play in or on a dishwasher.
If hot water has not been used recently (usually two
•
eeks or longer), hydrogen gases may buildup in
w
he water heater and the hot water pipes.
t
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent
injury or damage, before using your dishwasher,
turn on all hot water faucets and allow water to run
for several minutes before using your dishwasher.
This will allow gases to escape. DO NOT smoke or
use any open flames near the faucet while it is
open.
• When discarding an old dishwasher, ALWAYS
remove the door to prevent accidental entrapment.
• To prevent electrical shock, disconnect
electrical power supply to dishwasher before
attempting to service.
• DO NOT use door to push racks in.
It is your responsibility to be sure your dishwasher
• has been installed by a qualified installer
• has been properly grounded
• has been properly connected to electricity, water
and drain lines
• is properly maintained
• has had all shipping materials, packaging and
temporary labels removed.

burns, open door slowly to allow steam to escape
before opening completely.
