• DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.

• DO NOT operate the dishwasher without the filters in place.

• DO NOT operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

• DO NOT abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

• Depending on cycles/options selected, the dishwasher operates at very high water temperatures 155°F (68°C) on some models. Use extreme caution when opening unit or handling dishes.

• DO NOT use door to push racks in. Close the dishwasher door when not in use.

• DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified authorized technician.

• When discarding an old dishwasher, always remove the door to prevent accidental entrapment.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

• 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 weeks or longer), hydrogen gases may buildup in the water heater and the hot water pipes. 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.
