The manufacturer cannot be responsible for injuries or damage caused by failure to follow these safety and caution instructions. • Read all instructions carefully before using the dishwasher. • Use the dishwasher only for its intended function. • Only use detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher. Keep all dishwasher detergents and additives out of the reach of children. • This appliance is not intended for use by young children. • When loading items to be washed: 1) Load sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal. 2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of injury when reaching into the dishwasher. yy Do not wash plastic items in the dishwasher unless they are labeled "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items that are not so labeled, check the manufacturer's recommendations. • Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. • Do not tamper with the 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 around 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 of time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. • Remove the door to the wash compartment when disposing of an old dishwasher. • The installer must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of installation. • WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
