IIMPORTANT SAIFIETYIINSTRUCTIIONS
'_X/ARNIING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your dishwasher, follow basic
precautions including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. This dishwasher must be properly connected to electricity and water.
3. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
4. Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in dishwasher, and keep them out of reach of children.
5. When loading items to be washed locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal and load
sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
6. DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent.
7. DO NOT operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
8. DO NOT tamper with the controls.
9. DO NOT abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
11. If hot water has not been used recently (usually two weeks or longer), hydrogen gases may buildup in the water
heater and the hot water pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or damage, before using your
dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and allow water to run for several minutes. This will allow gases to
escape. Do not smoke or use any open flames near the faucet while it is open.
12. When discarding an old dishwasher, always remove the door to prevent accidental entrapment.
13. To prevent electrical shock, disconnect electrical power supply to dishwasher before attempting to service.
14. It is your responsibility to be sure your dishwasher:
Has been properly electrically grounded and installed by a qualified installer.
Has been installed where it is protected from the elements.
Has been installed on a floor strong enough to support its weight.
Has been properly connected to electricity, water and drain and is properly maintained.
Has had all hang tags and temporary labels removed.
