Important Safety Instructions
WARNING—When using this appliance,
always exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose,
as you will find described in this Use and Care
Guide.
This dishwasher must be properly installed and
located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before
it is used. If you did not receive an
Installation Instructions
sheet with your dishwasher,
you can obtain one by contacting the service location
nearest you.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
—Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
—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 of the appliance.
WARNING—The 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 store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Use only powder or liquid detergents or wetting
agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.
• Do not wash plastic items unless marked
‘‘dishwasher safe’’ or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
•
Load light plastic items so they will not become
dislodged
and drop to the bottom of the
dishwasher— they might come into contact with the
heating element and be damaged.
To minimize the possibility of injury.
• When loading items to be washed:
A. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely
to damage the door seal, and
B. Load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish
rack of the dishwasher.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is
used by or near children. Do not allow children to
play inside, on or with this appliance or any
discarded appliance. Dispose of discarded
appliances and shipping or packing material
properly. Before discarding a dishwasher, remove
the door of the washing compartment.
• Keep all washing detergents and wetting agents
out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked
cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels
to avoid personal injury.
• To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
disconnect this appliance from the power supply
before attempting any maintenance. NOTE:
Turning the control dial to the OFF position does
not disconnect the appliance from the power
supply. We recommend having a qualified
technician service your appliance.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your dishwasher unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
WARNING—HYDROGEN GAS is produced
by the chemical action within your water
heater. It can accumulate in the water heater
and/or water pipes if hot water has not been used for
a period of two weeks or longer. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent the possibility of
damage or injury, if you have not used hot water for
two weeks or more, or moved into a residence in
which the hot water system may not have been used
for some time, turn on all hot water faucets and
allow them to run for several minutes before using
any electrical appliance which is connected to the
hot water system. This will allow any hydrogen gas
to escape. Also, since the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this
process.
