Important Safety Instructions

WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using
your dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the following.
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• This dishwasher must be properly connected to an
appropriate electrical supply, water supply, and drain.
• The dishwasher must be securely mounted to the cabinet.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
• Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use
in household dishwashers, and store them in a safe and dry
environment away from the access of children.
• When loading items to be washed, place sharp items so that
they are not likely to damage the door seal and load sharp
knives with the handles up to avoid the risk of personal injury.
• DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe"
or the equivalent.
• DO NOT operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels
are properly in place.
• DO NOT abuse, sit on or stand on the door or dish rack of
the dishwasher.
• DO NOT tamper with controls.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or
on a dishwasher.
• If hot water has not been used recently (usually two weeks or
longer), hydrogen gases may buildup in the water heater and
the hot water pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To
prevent injury or damage, before using your dishwasher, turn
on all hot water faucets and allow water to run for several
minutes before using your dishwasher. This will allow gases to
escape. Do not smoke or use any open flames near the faucet
while it is open.
