IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual does not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Some situations may
arise where use of common sense and caution should always be used when installing, operating, and
maintaining any appliance.
WARNING! Before using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
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 immediately 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.
CHILD SAFETY TIPS
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always keep them out of reach of children.
Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid, give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or
two glasses of milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek medical advice immediately:
1-800-POISON1
Always close the door and start the dishwasher 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.
