Getting Started
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
It is your responsibility to be sure your dishwasher
°
Has been installed by a qualified installer.
°
Has been properly grounded.
°
Has been properly connected to an appropriate electrical supply,
water supply and drain.
°
Has been securely mounted to the cabinet.
°
Is properly maintained.
°
Has had all shipping materials, packaging and
temporary labels removed.
Install dishwasher so that it is protected from the elements. Protect
dishwasher from freezing to avoid possible fill valve damage.
DO NOT use an extension cord to connect the dishwasher
to electricity.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
To avoid the risk of personal injury due to steam burns, open door
slowly to allow steam to escape before opening completely.
Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in
household dishwashers, and store them in a safe and dry
environment away from the access of children.
When loading items to be washed, place sharp items so that they
are not likely to damage the door seal and load sharp knives with
the handles up to avoid the risk of personal injury.
DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the
equivalent.
DO NOT operate the dishwasher without the filters in place.
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.
DO NOT tamper with controls.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a
dishwasher.
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 before
using your dishwasher. This will allow gases to escape. Do not
smoke or use any open flames near the faucet while it is open.
Depending on cycles/options selected, the dishwasher operates at
very high water temperatures 155°F (68°C) on some models. Use
extreme caution when opening unit or handling dishes.
DO NOT use door to push racks in. Close the dishwasher door
when not in use.
DO NOT repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified authorized technician.
When discarding an old dishwasher, always remove the door to
prevent accidental entrapment.
