WARNING! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER

Junked or abandoned dishwashers are dangerous…
even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old dishwasher, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher

■ Take off the door of the washing compartment

or remove the door latch keeper (as shown).

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER

agents recommended for use in a dishwasher
and keep them out of the reach of children.

■ Locate sharp items so that they are not likely

to damage the door seal.

■ Load sharp knives with the handles up to

reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

■ Do not wash plastic items unless marked

dishwasher safe or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.

■ Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as

electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and
paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to
dishwasher and discoloration or staining of
dishwasher may result.

■ Do not touch the heating element during or

immediately after use.

■ Do not operate your dishwasher unless all

enclosure panels are properly in place.

■ Close supervision is necessary if this appliance

is used by or near children.

■ Load light, plastic items so they will not

become dislodged and drop to the bottom of
the dishwasher—they might come into contact
with the heating element and be damaged.
