DISHWASHER SAFETY
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:

WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING :When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
■Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
■Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended
for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the
reach of children.
■When loading items to be washed:
1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal; and
■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 touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
■Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place.
■Do not tamper with controls.
■Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish
racks of the dishwasher.
■To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or on the dishwasher.
■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. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the dishwasher
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 flammable,
do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■Remove the door to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce
the risk of cut-type injuries.

BeforeUsingYour
Dishwasher
■Install where dishwasher is protected from the
elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible
rupture of fill valve. Such ruptures are not covered by
the warranty. See “Storing Your Dishwasher” in the
“Caring for Your Dishwasher” section for winter storage
information.
■Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the
weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.
■Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors
(such as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing.
See Installation Instructions for complete information.
Tip Over Hazard
Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.
Do not push down on open door.
Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrically ground dishwasher.
Connect ground wire to green ground connector
in terminal box.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher 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. The
dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appro-
priate outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can result in a
risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service representative if you are in
doubt whether the dishwasher is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
For a permanently connected dishwasher:
The dishwasher must be connected to a
grounded 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.
