Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
Check with the installer to make sure the
appliance has been properly grounded to avoid
possible electrical shock. Be sure you read the
important personal safety instructions before
you use this dishwasher.
DANGER
Products with a label have been listed with
Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc. – those with a CSA tag have
been listed with Canadian Standards Association.
Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using electricity
and moving parts, there is a potential hazard.
When using your dishwasher, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
attempting to service.
4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back
must be enclosed and the front panels must be attached
before electrical power is applied to the dishwasher.
Refer to the installation instructions for proper
grounding procedures.
5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power
supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or play
in, with, or around this dishwasher.
7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be
washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with
the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not
likely to damage the door seal.
8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of the
tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It will be hot.
9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for a
residential automatic dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry
detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher.
Keep these products out of reach of children.
10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of
the dishwasher.
11. 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, 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
not smoke or use an open flame during this process.
12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher
safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer's recommendations.
13. Do not tamper with controls.
14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation
risks, always remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will
be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.
16. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments.
