♦ Read through this guide before attempting to use
your new dishwasher.
♦ Read the “Washing Special Items” section before
washing any porcelain or china that has “on-glaze”
decoration, crystal glassware, or items of wood or
plastic.
♦ Make sure the door is properly balanced. To do this,
open it a little and release it. It should stay where
you released it. If it doesn’t, consult the Installation
Instructions or contact your installer.
♦ Call your local water company to learn the water
hardness in your area. You’ll need to know this to
determine how much detergent and rinse aid to use.
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.
♦ 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 electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
♦ Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.
