Safety
General Precautions
WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
•
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
•
Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before attempting to service.
•
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.
•
Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical
overload.
•
Children should never be permitted to operate, or play in, with, or around this dishwasher.
•
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.
•
Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of the tub during or at the completion of a
cycle. It will be hot.
•
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.
Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
•
•
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.
•
Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
•
Do not tamper with controls.
•
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.
•
Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a
cycle has completed.
•
Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
•
To avoid water, mold or mildew damage to your home, inlet and drain hose connections
should be checked periodically for leaks.
