Instructions
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
attempting to service.
4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back
must be enclosed and the front panels must be
attached before electrical power is applied to the
dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for
proper grounding procedures.
5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or
play in, with, or around this dishwasher.
7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be
washed, sharp or pointed items should be located
with the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they
are not likely to damage the door seal.
8.
Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of
the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It
will be hot.
9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed
for a residential automatic dishwasher. Never use
soap, laundry detergent, or hand washing
detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products
out of reach of children.
10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks
of the dishwasher.

Hydrogen gas is
explosive. If the hot water system has not been used
for such a period, 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 process.

“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.

suffocation risks, always remove the door to the
washing compartment when removing an old
dishwasher fr
om service or discar

Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle
has completed.
