Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages inthe manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can killor hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or
"WARNING." These words mean:

immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this
Use and Care Guide.
Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep
them out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
Locate sharp items and knives so that they
are not likely to damage the door seal or
tub.
Load sharp items and 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. Check with
manufacturer for recommendations, if not
marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe may
melt and create a potential fire hazard.
• Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,
make sure disposer is completely empty before
running dishwasher.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on
door or racks of a dishwasher.
• Keep young children and infants away from
dishwasher when it is operating.
• Use care unloading the dishware when the
SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents
may be hot to the touch immediately after the
end of cycle.
• Water vapor from the vent may be hot to the
touch when the SANITIZE option has been
selected. Use care and do not let small children
play around or touch the vent area of the
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 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.
• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove
door or door latch mechanism from any
dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.
