To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your
dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the following:
l
Read all instructions before using
the dishwasher.
l
Properly connect to electricity and water.
l
DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY
GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instruc-
tions for details.
l
Be sure your dishwasher is installed on a
level floor that will hold the weight, and in an
area suitable for its size and use.
l
When discarding an old dishwasher, always
remove the door to prevent accidental
entrapment.
l
REMEMBER, use your dishwasher only for
the job it was desrgned to do.
l
Store dishwasher detergent in a cool, dry
place WHERE CHILDREN CAN’T REACH IT.
l
Use ONLY detergents and rinse aids recom-
mended for use in a dishwasher.
l
Locate sharp items and knives so that they
are not likely to damage door seal or cut the
user.
l
DO NOT let children play in or on the
dishwasher.
l
DO NOT reach into the area below the
bottom rack until the heating element has
cooled for at least 20 minutes.
. DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked
“Dishwasher Safe” or the equivalent. If not
marked, check manufacturer’s
recommendations.
l
DO NOT use your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
l
DO NOT sit on, stand on or abuse the
dishwasher door or dish racks.
l

l
If hot water has not been used recently
(usually two weeks or longer), hydro-
gen gases may build up in the water
heater and the hot water pipes. HYDRO-
GEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent
injury or damage, before using your
dishwasher, turn on all hot water
faucets and allow water to run for sev-
eral minutes. This will allow gases to
escape. Do not smoke or use any open
flame near the faucet while it is open.
l
Disconnect electrical power to the
dishwasher before attempting to
service.
l
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. The fumes
can create a fire hazard or explosion.
