SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

14. DO NOT sit on, stand on or abuse the dishwasher door or dish racks.

15. DO NOT tamper with controls.

16. If hot water has not been used recently (usually two weeks or longer), hydrogen gases may build up 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. This will allow gases to escape. Do not smoke or use any open flame near the faucet while it is open.

17. Disconnect electrical power to the dishwasher before attempting to service.

Energy Saving Tips

You can help save energy if you:

1. Wash full loads. Running a halffilled dishwasher uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully loaded machine.

2. Use the Energy Saver Wash Cycle, if your dishwasher has one, whenever possible. It uses less hot water and energy than other wash cycles.

3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times (overnight).

Page 2

4. Load correctly for best washing results. Incorrect loading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of the load.

5. Don’t pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Select the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing results without hand rinsing.

6. Use your dishwasher during offpeak hours. Local utilities recommend this to avoid heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

7. Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and efficiently through the use of your dishwasher. Most

appliance parts that can fit in the

dishwasher can be cleaned by it. Burned-on soil, however, should be cleaned by hand.
