Important safety instructions Save these instructions ! WARNING This manual does not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense and caution should always be used when installing, operating, and maintaining any appliance. • Read all instructions before using the dish- washer. • Dishwashers must be electrically ground- ed. Read the Installation Instructions for details. • Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose. • Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the home. • Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and rinse agents. • To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents and rinse aids out of the reach of children. • Do not load sharp items near the door; you could damage the door seal. • Place sharp knives in the silverware basket with the sharp ends down to avoid the risk of cut-type injuries. • Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For items not marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations. Items not dishwasher safe could become deformed or melt and create a potential fire hazard. • Do not touch the heating element during or imediately after use. • Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place (i.e., guard plate, access panel, toe kick, etc.) • Do not tamper with controls by removing or changing. • Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher door or baskets . • To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a 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 two weeks, 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. • When removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it, remove the door to the washing compartment. • Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. • Disconnect the electrical power to the dishwasher before servicing. • Repairs should be done by a qualified technician. • Read the grounding instructions in the installation instructions.
