1.4 Restrictive Use
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.
1.5 Grounding instructions
This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent
wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor must
be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock.
▶This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor. Check with a qualified electrician or
authorized service representative if you are in doubt
whether the appliance is properly grounded.

WARNING
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.
▶Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot
water system that has been unused for two weeks or
longer, 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
explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.
WARNING
To avoid risk of electric shock, observe the following.
▶Only use the appliance in enclosed residential space
according to the installation manual.
▶Never expose the appliance to intense heat or humidity.
▶Do not use any steam cleaners or high-pressure
cleaners to clean this appliance. If not followed, excess
moisture can accumulate.
WARNING
To avoid risk of injury, when loading items to be washed,
observe the following.
▶Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the
door seal.
▶Load knives and other sharp utensils with their handles
up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
▶Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, check the manufacturer's
recommendations.
▶Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are in place.
▶Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
WARNING
For safe care and operation of your appliance, observe
the following.
▶Follow the safety instructions and directions for use on
the detergent and rinse aid product labels.
▶Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach-based
products to clean your dishwasher. Some bleach-based
products can damage your dishwasher and may
present health hazards!
▶Always use caution when opening the door during or
following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may
escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises
have stopped and steam has subsided.
▶To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do
not allow wet areas to remain around or under the
dishwasher.
NOTICE:
Water and power shut off
▶It is highly recommended for the end user to become
familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming
water supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming
power supply. See the installation instructions or
contact your installer for more information.
