Important Safety instructions
^WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your
dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the following:
• Read all instructions before using
the dishwasher.
• Properly connect to electricity and water.
• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions
for details.
• Be sure your dishwasher is installed on a
level floor that will hold the weight, and in an
area suitable for its size and use.
• When discarding an old dishwasher, always
remove the door to prevent accidental
entrapment or suffocation.
• REMEMBER, use your dishwasher only for
the job it was designed to do.
• Store dishwasher detergent in a cool, dry
place WHERE CHILDREN CAN'T REACH IT.
• Use ONLY detergents and rinse agents
recommended tor use in a dishwasher.
• Locate sharp items and knives so that they are
not likely to damage door seal or cut the user.
• DO NOT let children play in or on the
dishwasher.
• DO NOT reach into the area below the
bottom rack until the heating element has
cooled for at least 20 minutes.
• DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked
“Dishwasher Safe” or the equivalent. If not
marked, check manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• DO NOT use your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• DO NOT sit on, stand on or abuse the
dishwasher door or dish racks.
• DO NOT tamper with controls.
• 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.
• Disconnect electrical power to the dish­
washer before attempting to service.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flam­
mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance. The fumes can create
a fire hazard or explosion.
