IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:
• This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions
and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand
all instructions before installing or using the dishwasher.
• This appliance must be grounded to a 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. See the Installation Instructions included
with this dishwasher for more information on electrical
requirements.
• Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which
is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.
• Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for
use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of
children.
• When loading items to be washed:
a. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal.
b. Load knives and other sharp utensils with their
HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.
c. 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.
d. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure Panels are in place.
e. Do not tamper with or override controls and
interlocks
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks
of the dishwasher.
- Please READ & SAVE this information
• To reduce the 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 legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
• 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, open windows to
ventilate the house. 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 from
service or discarding.
• To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do
not allow wet areas to remain around or under the
dishwasher.
• Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect
against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill
valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by
the warranty.
