Child safety tips
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are
corrosive, so always keep them out of reach
of children.
• Should a child swallow dishwasher deter-
gent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink im-
mediately, i.e., one or two glasses of milk or
water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek
medical advice immediately: Call the Nation-
al Capital Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222
• Always close the door and start the dish-
washer as soon as you put in the detergent.
• Always keep small children away from
the machine when it is open. There may
be some detergent residue left inside the
machine.
• If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s
eyes, rinse them with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes.
• Do not allow children to use or play in or
on the dishwasher.
• Load all long and sharp items in the knife/
utensil basket. If this is not possible, load
sharp objects with the pointed end facing
the back of the dishwasher. Sharp items
loaded in the silverware basket should be
loaded with pointed ends down.
• Engage the child safety lock.
Engaging the Child Safety Lock
This model has a child safety lock on the left of
the door handle. To activate the lock, press in
the door handle and use a screwdriver to turn
the screw slot to a vertical position. Reset it by
turning the slot to its horizontal position.
To open the door when the safety lock is
engaged, press the white plastic tab located
to the left of the door handle toward the left
and hold it as you lift the door handle. (See
illustration at below.)
