WARNING: TIP OVER HAZARD!
Dishwasher must be installed immediately and secured with

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.
