WARNING - When using your dishwasher, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
1. Bosch dishwashers are provided with two manuals; one, Installation Instruction Manual and
one, Care and Use Manual. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them
out of the reach of children.
4. 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 handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent.
For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all the enclosure panels are properly in place.
8. Do not tamper with controls.

been used for two weeks or more. Hvdr_en aas is _losive. 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 no smoke or use an open flame during this time.

service or discarding.
