To avoid possible injury or property damage, OBSERVE ALL
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS. These instructions are intend-
ed for use by qualified installers only. In addition to these
instructions, the dishwasher shall be installed to meet all
electrical and plumbing codes and ordinances (both national

Avoiding General Hazards
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When
opening the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open
the door while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow
this warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result
in serious injury.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system
that has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive.
Before filling a dishwasher from a system that has been off for
weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated
area until there is no sound or evidence of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage
the dishwasher's base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines
are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least
6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher's base and
water inlet valve.
