Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electriil shock, or injury when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the following:

*Read all instructions before using the

dishwasher.

*Use your dishwasher only for the uses

described in this manual.

*DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRI-

*Use ONLY detergents and rinse agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher.

*Store dishwasher detergent in a cool, dry

place WHERE CHILDREN CAN’T REACH IT.

*When loading items to be washed:

- Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce risk of cut-type injuries.

- Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the door or tub.

@DO NOT let children play in or on the
