dishwasher before attempting service.
DO NOT allow children to play in or around the
dishwasher.
DO NOT sit or stand on or abuse the dishwasher’s
door or racks.
ALWAYS load sharp or pointed tableware with their
handles up (points down) to avoid injury when
reaching into the dishwasher. Load sharp items and
knives so they will not damage the door seal.
DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked as
“Dishwasher Safe” or the equivalent. If an item is
not marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
ALWAYS remove the door of a dishwasher when
discarding to prevent accidental entrapment.

WARNING. Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may build up in a hot water system that has not
been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent possible injury or
damage, turn on all hot water faucets and allow
water to run several minutes BEFORE using your
dishwasher. DO NOT smoke or use any open flame
near the faucets while they are open.
Grounding Instructions
Built-In Models
See the Installation Instructions provided with your
dishwasher for important ground information.
Portable Models
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER. Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if you have any doubts about proper
grounding of the appliance. Do not modify the plug
provided with your dishwasher. If it will not fit into
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
