Important safety information
WARNING!
Read whole user´s manual and keep in a safe place for using in
future.
When using your dishwasher, follow the basic precautions
including the following:
WARNING! HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE
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 ow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame
during this time.
WARNING! PROPER USE
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish basket of the
dishwasher; it could tip forward.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after
use.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are
properly in place. Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher
is operating. There is a risk of water squirting out.
• When loading items to be washed:
- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
door seal;
