IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher. • Do not tamper with controls.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in
a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

• When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage
the door seal; and

2) 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.

• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after
use.

• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

are properly in place.

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.

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 the hot water
system has not been used for such a period, before using

the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This will release

any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

• For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher 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. The dishwasher 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.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative
if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,

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 dishwasher.

RESUrgE

Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from

spinning freely, it is important for the water
spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

• Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items
are blocking the detergent dispenser.

• Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and
inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and
drying results.

• Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food.

• Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack.
Wash only plastic items marked "dishwasher safe."

• To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load
dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight

load items are secured in the racks.
