4 Important Safety Information • Use care unloading the dishware when the SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents may be hot to the touch immediately after the end of cycle. • Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. • Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. • Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing. • Repairs should be done by a qualified technician. Child safety • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. • Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. • DO NOT allow children to play in or on the dishwasher • DO NOT allow children to abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a dishwasher. • Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the appliance is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers. • Keep dishwasher products out of children's reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels. • To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use. • Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
