WARNING
Please read all safety instructions
before using your new appliance.
For Your Safety
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• Use your dishwasher only as instructed
in this Use and Care Guide.
• Use only detergents or rinse agent
recommended for use in a dishwasher,
and keep them out of reach of children.
• When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items and knives
so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal or tub.
• Load sharp items and knives with
the handles up to reduce the risk
of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent.
Check with manufacturer for
recommendations, if not marked. Items
that are not dishwasher safe may melt
and create a potential fi re hazard.
• Do not touch the heating element
during or immediately after use.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless
all enclosure panels are properly in
place.
