IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

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.

■

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, lid, or dish racks

of the dishwasher.

■

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 or use an open flame during this time.

■

Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.
