This manual does not cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur.
Common sense and caution should always
be used when installing, operating, and
maintaining any appliance.
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• Dishwashers must be electrically grounded.
Read the Installation Instructions for
details.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended
purpose.
• Do not run the dishwasher while you are
out of the home.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents
and rinse agents.
• To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents
and rinse aids out of the reach of children.
• Do not load sharp items near the door; you
could damage the door seal.
• Place sharp knives in the silverware basket
with the sharp ends down to avoid the risk
of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked “dishwasher safe” or the
equivalent. For items not marked, check
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Items not dishwasher safe could become
deformed or melt and create a potential fire
hazard.
• Do not touch the heating element during or
imediately after use.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place (i.e.,
guard plate, access panel, toe kick, etc.)
• Do not tamper with controls by removing or
changing.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the
dishwasher door or baskets .
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on a 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 two weeks, 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.
• When removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it, remove the door
to the washing compartment.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline, or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Disconnect the electrical power to the
dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified
technician.
