Safety Instructions Operating Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: To prevent minor injury and property damage ■ Contents washed in Anti-bacterial mode, if available, may be hot to the touch. Use care before handling. ■ Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. ■ If your dishwasher is connected to a wall switch, ensure that the switch is on prior to use. ■ On dishwashers with electronic controls, if you choose to turn the wall switch off between wash cycles, allow 5-10 seconds after turning the switch on before touching START/RESET to allow the control to initialize. ■ Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the dishwasher and discoloration or staining of the dishwasher may result. ■ Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used by or near children. ■ Load light, plastic items so they do not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher-they might come into contact with the heating element and be damaged. PRECAUCIÓN: A fin de evitar lesiones menores y daños sobre la propiedad ■ Los contenidos lavados en el modo SANI WASH/SANITIZE (Lavado Desinfectante/ Des infección), si este producto está disponible, podrán estar calientes al tacto. Tenga cuidado antes de tomar los mismos con las manos. ■ El uso de un detergente que no esté diseñado específicamente para lavavajillas hará que este último se llene de agua con jabón. ■ Si el lavavajillas está conectado a un tomacorriente, asegúrese de que el interruptor esté encendido antes del uso. ■ Si el lavavajillas tiene controles electrónicos, en caso de decidir apagar el interruptor entre ciclos de lavado, espere entre 5 y 10 segundos luego de encender el interruptor antes de presionar START/ RESET (Iniciar/ Reiniciar) para permitir que el control se inicie.. ■ Ítems que no sean Utensilios: No lave artículos tales como filtros electrónicos de limpieza con aire, filtros de horno y brochas de pintura en su lavavajillas. Se podrán producir daños, descoloración o manchas sobre el lavavajillas. ■ Se deberá estar especialmente atento si el electrodoméstico es usado por niños o si se encuentra cerca de los mismos. ■ Cargue artículos de plástico livianos, de modo que no sean desplazados ni caigan al fondo del lavavajillas - es posible que entren en contacto con el elemento calentador y sean dañados. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS ■ This appliance must be supplied with 120V, 60 Hz, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. ■ If the electric supply provided does not meet the above specifications, it is recommended that a licensed electrician install an approved outlet. Ensure proper ground exist before use (portable models only). ■ Your dishwasher circuit should not be used for any other appliance while the dishwasher is in operation as the dishwasher requires the full capacity of the circuit. ■ If the wall receptacle you plug the dishwasher's power cord into is controlled by a switch, turn on the switch.
