IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions. Read all instructions
before using the dishwasher! Save these operating instructions and pass them on to any future
user.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose as described in this user manual. This
appliance is intended for normal household use only. Do not change the specification of
the appliance. The manufacturer does not claim responsibility for damage or injury
caused by improper use of this appliance.
• The information in this user manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion
and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life
• Use only detergents or wetting 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
2. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher-safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not
marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.
• Do not operate your 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 rack of the dishwasher.
• The cup racks are designed to support cups, glasses, and kitchen utensils. When the cup racks
are in the dishwasher, do not lean on or use the cup racks to support your body weight.
• 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 the electric current.
This appliance has a cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:
Improper connection with 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 about whether or not
the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Some dishwasher detergents are high in alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if
swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children and weakened persons away
from the dishwasher when the door is open.
• Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
• Do not remove the dishes from the appliance until the program is complete. Some detergent
may remain on the dishes.
• Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of each wash program.
• Do not drink and play with the water in the appliance; harmful residues could be present.
• To reduce the 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 use practices.
• Do not leave the appliance with the open door unattended to avoid stepping accidentally onto
it.
WARNING: Before any maintenance is performed, deactivate the appliance, and disconnect
the main power plug from the socket.
• Do not use high-pressure water sprays and/or steam to clean the appliance.
• Ensure that there are no visible water leaks during and after the first use of the appliance.
• To avoid floor damage and 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.
RISK OF INJURY: To avoid the 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 store or use flammable liquids or vapors on, near, or in the area of the appliance.
• 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.
• Please check the water supply line periodically. It is susceptible to breakage. It becomes less
flexible as time goes by. Replace it immediately when it is torn, cut, swollen or there is water
leakage.
