IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING — When using your dishwasher, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
AVERTISSEMENT ––Lorsque l’on utilise le lave-vaisselle, il faut observer les précautions de sécurité de base
afin de réduire tout risque d’incendie, de choc électrique et/ou de blessures, ainsi que les directives suivantes:
1. THERMADOR
®
dishwashers are provided with two manuals; one, Installation Instruction Manual and one, Care
and Use Manual. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of
children.
4. 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 handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all the enclosure panels are properly in place.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
9. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
10. 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.
11. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.

codes. These must be carefully followed in all cases. See Installation Instructions provided with this dishwasher for
