level floor that will hold the weight, and in an
area suitable for its size and use.

remove the door to prevent accidental
entrapment or suffocation.

the job it was designed to do.

Store dishwasher detergent in a cool, dry
place WHERE CHILDREN CAN’T REACH IT.
l
Use ONLY detergents and rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher.

turn on all hot water faucets and allow
water to run for several minutes. This
will allow gases to escape. Do not
