!
CAUTION: This indicates that minor or moderate injuries may occur as a

NOTICE: This indicates that damage to the appliance or property may occur as a

WARNING: TIP OVER HAZARD!
Dishwasher must be installed immediately and secured with
mounting brackets to avoid tip over. A child can tip the dish-
washer and be seriously injured if the door is opened before it is
installed. (see Installation Guide for instructions)
WARNING: SAFE OPERATION
• Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of
household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.
• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRONICALLY GROUNDED. See Installation
Guide for instructions.
• The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause
serious injury. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down.
• To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or
following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open
the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.
• Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use
the dishwasher in any way not covered in the Use and Care Manual or for
any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.
• Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some bleach-based
products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!
• Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris may be sharp.
• Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
• RISK OF EXPLOSION - 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. Before using a dishwasher that is
connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or
longer, 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 explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• RISK OF EXPLOSION - When cleaning your dishwasher with any cleaning
agent, remove all cookware, utensils or any foreign material from inside.
Some cleaning agents are highly acidic and/or caustic alkaline, which
can cause Hydrogen gas to form if aluminum material is also inside the
dishwasher tub. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Refer to the Care and
2
Maintenance section of the dishwasher Use and Care manual for
instructions on how to properly clean your dishwasher.
