Please read this user manual and particularly the

Be sure to observe all listed warnings and cautions.
Look particularly for the icons with exclamation
marks inside. The information icon will also provide
important references.
WARNING
When using the dishwasher, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the
dishwasher! Save these operating instructions
and pass them on to any future user.
=Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose
as described in this user manual. This appliance
is intended for normal household use only.
=The manufacturer disclaims responsibility
for damage or injury caused by improper use
of this appliance.
=The information in this user manual must be
followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion
and to prevent property damage, personal injury
or loss of life.
1. MPORTANT SAFETY
NSTRUCT ONS
=Do not operate your dishwasher unless all the
enclosure panels are properly in place.
=Do not tamper with the controls.
=Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the door or
dish rack of the dishwasher.
=The cup racks are designed to support cups,
glasses and kitchen utensils. When the cup
racks are in the dishwasher do not lean on or
use the cup racks to support your body weight.
=To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children
to play in, on or near the dishwasher.
=Use only detergents or rinse aids recommended
for use in a household dishwasher and keep
them in a dry place out of the reach of children.
Check that the detergent dispenser is empty
after the completion of each wash program.
=Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can
be dangerous if inhaled or swallowed. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes and keep children
and infirm persons away from the dishwasher
when the door is opened. Consult a doctor
immediately if detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
=Do not drink water from the dishwasher! Harmful
residues could be present.
=Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water heater 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 period, before using the
dishwasher turn on all hot water taps and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
