1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before attempt-
ing 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 an
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.
11. 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,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 flamma-
ble, do not smoke or use an open flame during this process.
12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe”
or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
13. Do not tamper with controls.
14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation risks,
always remove the door to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher.Dishes will be
hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.
16. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments.
