Avoiding General Hazards
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or injury to persons, the installer
must ensure that the dishwasher is completely enclosed at the time of
installation.
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When opening the
door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting
the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can cause the dishwasher
to tip over and result in serious injury.
Before installing the supplied counter top mounting brackets, decide which
method will be used to secure the dishwasher into its opening. Once these
mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is dif-
ficult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that
has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before filling a
dishwasher from a system that has been o for weeks, run the water from
a nearby faucet in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evidence
of gas.
Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet can expose
hot water connections, electrical power and sharp edges or points. Handle
with care.

cised when the dishwasher is installed or removed to reduce the
likelihood of damage to the power cord.
Avoid Fire Hazard!
Make sure electrical work is properly installed and checked by
qualified electricians.
Make sure there are no loose electrical connections. Make sure
all electrical connections are properly made.
Loose and improperly installed electrical connections can
result in overheating!

ance must be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system
or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit con-
ductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on
the dishwasher.
Do NOT use an extension cord.
Make sure that the dishwasher is connected to a suitable ground in
compliance with all local codes or, in the absence of a local code, with
the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE in the United States or the CANADIAN
