9 WARNING
RISK OF INJURY!
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.
To reduce risk of injury, do not
allow children to play in or on
the dishwasher.
When children become old
enough to operate the
appliance, it is the responsibility
of the parents/legal guardians
to ensure the children are
instructed in safe practices by
qualified persons.
NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential
dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments.

Proper Care and Maintenance
9 WARNING
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.
Remove the dishwasher door to the
washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher for
service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible
mold growth, do not allow wet areas
to remain around or under the
dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage,
Note:
do not allow water to remain in your
dishwasher systems through
extended periods of freezing
temperatures. Freezing temperatures
can damage the water fill valve and
potentially other components of your
dishwasher.
