This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

WARNING
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, 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 recommended for
use in a 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, 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 from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.
■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
