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. See the
Installation Instructions included with
this dishwasher for more information
on electrical requirements.
9WARNING
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.
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt
whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
Safe Operation
Use this dishwasher only for its
intended function, which is the
washing of household dishware and
kitchenware rated as dishwasher
safe.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents
recommended for use in a
dishwasher, and keep them out of
the reach of children.
9CAUTION
When loading items to be
washed:
■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.
Do not abuse, sit or stand on the
door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
9WARNING
RISK OF INJURY!
To avoid risk of injury, 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.
NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential
dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Child Safety
To reduce risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on the
dishwasher.
When children become old enough
to operate the appliance, it is the
responsibility of the parents/legal
guardians to ensure the children are
instructed in safe practices by
qualified persons.
Proper Care and Maintenance
9WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
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.
Remove the dishwasher door to the
washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher for
service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible
mold growth, do not allow wet areas
to remain around or under the
dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not
allow water to remain in your
dishwasher systems through
extended periods of freezing
temperatures. Freezing temperatures
can damage the water fill valve and
potentially other components of your
dishwasher.
NOTICE
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.
