not likely to damage the door seal.
and load sharp knives with the han-
dle up to reduce a risk of cut-type
injuries.
7. If either the washing or drying cycle
is interrupted, during or at the end
of the cycle, the heating element
may still be hot enough to cause a
burn if it is touched.
8.
Do not wash plastic items unless
marked "dishwasher safe" or the
equivalent. For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturer's
recommendations.
9. Do not operate your dishwasher

erly in place.
10. Do not tamper with controls.
11. If your dishwasher is discarded.
abandoned or otherwise not in use.
remove the door or the door latch
mechanism. In some states. it is a
misdemeanor for any one discarding
the appliance not to follow this sen-
sible safety procedure which can
save the lives of curious children at
play.
12. HYDROGEN GAS can be produced
in a household type water heating
system that has not been used for
a long period of time (generally two
weeks or morel. Hydrogen gas is ex•
plosive. To prevent the poss1b1hty
c,f
m1ury. we recommend that all hot
water faucets be opened for several
minutes
before
using
your
dishwasher. If hydrogen is present
you will probably hear an unusual
sound such as air escaping through
the pipe as the hot water begins to
flow. There should be no smoking or
open flame near the faucet at this
time.
