WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING
State of California Proposition 65
-This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.
-This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if inhaled or swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep children and people in poor health away from the dishwasher when the door is opened. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
DO NOT drink water from the dishwasher! Harmful residues could be present.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water heater 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 taps and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
DO NOT store or use flammable liquids or vapors in the area of the dishwasher.
• When loading items to be washed, position sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal and 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.
• If a malfunction occurs, switch off the appliance and turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the appliance, disconnect the power plug, and turn off the water supply.
• Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.
• If the dishwasher is not in use for an extended period of time (i.e. vacation home), we recommend you check that the baskets are empty, leave the inside of the dishwasher clean, leave the door cracked open to allow air to circulate, and turn off both the power and water supply to the dishwasher.
Important Safety Instructions
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permament 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.
