c Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in the Operating
Instructions and this Use and Care Book.

–This appliance must be connected to a
,~% grounded metal, permanent, wiring system;
" or an equipment-grounding conductor must
be run with the circuit conductors and con-
nected to the equipment-grounding terminal
or lead of the appliance.
–Connect to a properly rated, protected and
sized power-supply circuit to avoid electrical
overload.
Use only detergents or wetting agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher.
Do not wash plastic items unless marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For
plastic items not so marked, check the manu-
facturer's recommendations.
Load light plastic items so they will not
become dislodged and drop to the bottom of
the dishwasher—they might come into con-
tact with the heating unit and be damaged.
To minimize the possibility of injury.
When loading items to be washed:
A. Locate sharp items so that they are not
likely to damage the door seal, and
B. Load sharp knives with the handles up
to reduce a risk of cut-type injuries.

. Close supervision is necessary if this appli-
ance is used by or near children. Do not allow
children to play inside, on or with this appli-
ance or any discarded appliance. Dispose of
discarded appliances and shipping or packing
material properly. Before discarding a dish-
washer, remove the door of the washing
compartment.
Keep all washing detergents and wetting
agents out of the reach of children, preferably
in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on
container labels to avoid personal injury.
c HYDROGEN GAS is produced by the
chemical action within your water heater and
the gas can accumulate in the water heater
and/or water pipes if hot water has not been
used for a period of two weeks or longer.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. So to
prevent the possibility of damage or injury, if
you have not used hot water for two weeks or
more, or move into a residence in which the
hot water system may not have been used for
some time, turn on all hot water faucets and
allow them to run for several minutes before
using any electrical appliance which is con-
nected to the hot water system. This will allow
any hydrogen gas to escape. Of course, since
the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame or appliance during this process.
