IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
-When
using the dish-
washer, follow basic precautions,
including
the following:
l
Read all instructions
before using the
dishwasher.
l
Use the dishwasher
only for its intended
function.
l
Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended
for use in a dishwasher,
and keep them out of the reach of children.
l
When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are
not likely to damage the door seal.
2) Load sharp knives with the handles
up to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.
l
Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked "dishwasher
safe" or the
equivalent.
For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturer's
recommendations.
l
Do not touch the heating element during
or immediately
after use.
l
Do not operate the dishwasher
unless
all enclosure panels are properly in place.
l
Do not tamper with controls.
l
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door
or dish racks of the dishwasher.
l
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on the dishwasher.
l
Under certain conditions,
hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water system
that has not been used for two weeks or
more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not been used
for such a period, before using the dish-
washer turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumu-
lated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
l
Remove the door to the washing compart-
ment when removing an old dishwasher
from service or discarding
it.
l
For a grounded, cord connected appliance
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
The dishwasher
must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction
or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resis-
tance 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.
WARNING
- Improper connection
of
the equipment-grounding
conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service
representative
if you are in doubt whether
the dishwasher
is properly grounded. Do
not modify the plug provided with the
dishwasher;
if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
l
For a permanently
connected dishwasher:
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
The dishwasher
must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system,
or an equipment-grounding
conductor
must be run with the circuit conductors
and connected to the equipment-ground-
ing terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
