IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- When using the dish-
washer, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended
function.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents recom-
mended for use in the dishwasher, and keep
them out of the reach of children.
• When loading items to be washed:
' 1) Locate sharp items so that they are not
; likely to damage the door seal; and
./
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up
to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• 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.
• Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door
or dish racks of the dishwasher.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on the dishwasher.
• 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 dishwasher turn on
all hot water faucets and let the water flow
J from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
._ s the gas is flammable, do not smoke
or use an open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing compart-
ment when removing an old dishwasher
from service or discarding it.
• For a grounded, cord connected dishwasher:.
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 resist-
ance for electric current. The dishwasher
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 representa-
tive if you are in doubt whether the
dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the dish-
washer; if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• 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-grounding
terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
