Fagor America LFA-65 IT Dishwasher User Manual


 
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
a) Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
b) Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
c) Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep
them out of the reach of children.
d) When loading items to be washed:
1) locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and
2) load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
e) Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.
For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Note: This statement may be omitted for an appliance that employs a heating element that
is located or guarded such that melted plastic items are not likely to contact it.
f) Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
g) Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
h) Do not tamper with controls.
i) Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
j) To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
k) 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 such a period, 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.
l) Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance;
if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
