Proper Installation
Please read the Installation Instructions
carefully and follow all instructions when
installing the dishwasher.
• This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur.
Use common sense and caution when
installing, operating and maintaining any
appliance.
• Water supply inlet temperature should
be between 120°F (48.9°C) and 135°F
(57.2°C).
• Dispose of the discarded appliance and
packing material properly.
• The dishwasher must be properly
grounded, or it can result in a risk of
electric shock. See Installation Instructions
for details.
• If there is any damage to the dishwasher,
please contact to your Dealer, do not
attempt to repair or replace any part by
yourself.
Basic Precautions Before Use
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• The manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur.
Use the dishwasher only for intended
function as described in this manual. When
loading items to be washed:
• Load sharp items and knives so that they
are not likely to damage the door seal
and tub.
• Load sharp items and knives with the
handles up to reduce the risk of injury.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked dishwasher safe. If not
marked, check with manufacture for
recommendation. Items that are not
dishwasher safe may melt and create a
potential fire hazard.
• If the dishwasher drains in to a food
disposer, make sure disposer is completely
empty before running dishwasher.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not touch the heating element during
or immediately after use, especially if the
SANITIZE option has been selected.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on a dishwasher.
• Do not let children abuse, sit, or stand on
door or racks of 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 dishwasher, turn on all hot water
faucets and let water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen
gas is flammable. Do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher and
keep them out of the reach of children.
