IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- When using the dishwasher,
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 recommended for
use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of
children.
,,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.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play
in or on the dishwasher.
• 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 recommen-
dations.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immedi-
ately after use.
,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 or use an
open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
