Don’t use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When opening the door on an
uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting the rear of the unit.
Failure to follow this warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious
injury.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that has not been
used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before filling a dishwasher from a system
that has been off for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated
area until there is no sound or evidence of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s base
and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat
source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s base and water inlet
valve.
Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet can expose hot water
connections, electrical power and sharp edges or points. Handle with care. Always
wear gloves and safety glasses.
IB. Electrical shock / fire hazards
Don’t allow electrical and water supply lines to touch. Don’t work on an energized
circuit. Doing so could result in serious injury or death. Only qualified electricians
should perform electrical work. Don’t attempt any work on the dishwasher electric
supply circuit until you are certain the circuit is de-energized.
Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be no loose electrical
connections. Ensure all electrical connections are properly made.
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the dishwasher electrical
installation is in compliance with all national and local electrical codes and ordinances.
The dishwasher is designed for an electrical supply of 120VAC, 60 Hz, connected to a
dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker rated
for 15 amps. Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper only
wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or
an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance. Don’t use
extension cords.
IC. Plumbing / scalding hazards
Don’t perform any work on a charged hot water line. Serious injury could result. Only
qualified plumbers should perform plumbing work. Don’t attempt any work on the
