SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING !
When using your dishwasher, you should follow the basic precautions as follow:
WARNING! HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
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. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
WARNING! PROPER USE
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish basket of the dishwasher.
Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Open the door very
carefully if the dishwasher is operating. There is a risk of causing water to squirt out.
Do not place any heavy objects or stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward.
When loading items to be washed:
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cuts;
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed
in a horizontal position.
When using your dishwasher, you should prevent plastic items from contacting with heating element.
Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
