IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- When using the dish-
washer, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
• Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended
function.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents recom-
mended for use in the dishwasher, and keep
them out of the reach of children.
• When loading items to be washed:
- 1) Locate sharp items so that they are not
likely to damage the door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up
to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are
marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent.
For plastic items not so marked, check the
manufacturer's recommendations.
• Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door
or dish racks of the dishwasher.
• Remove the door to the washing compart-
ment when removing an old dishwasher
from service or discarding it.
• For a grounded, cord connected dishwasher:.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The dishwasher must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electrical
shock by providing a path of least resist-
ance for electric current. The dishwasher
is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING
- Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result
in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service representa-
tive if you are in doubt whether the
dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the dish-
washer; if it will not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on 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, before using the dishwasher 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
I or use an open flame during this time.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
• For a permanently connected dishwasher:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The dishwasher must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system,
or an equipment-grounding conductor must
be run with the circuit conductors and
connected to the equipment-grounding
terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
