9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
8
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.
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.
