Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: When using your dishwasher, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. This dishwasher must be properly grounded: see
installation instructions for details.

9. Do not tamper with controls.
10. Do not abuse, sit on or stand on the door or
dish rack of the dishwasher.
3. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
4. Use only detergents or rinse aids recommended
for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of
reach for children.
5. When loading items to be washed:
a. Locate sharp items, so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal.
b. Load sharp knives with the sharp points down
to reduce risk of cut-type injuries.
6. Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dish
washer safe": or the equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, check the manufacturer's recom­
mendations.
7. Do not touch the heating element during or im­
mediately after use.
8. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
11. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play in or on a dishwasher.
12. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may
be produced in a hot water system that has
not been used for two weeks or more. Hydro­
gen gas is explosive. If the hot water system
has not been used for such a period, turn on
all hot water faucets and let the water flow
from each for several minutes. This will re­
lease any accumulated hydrogen gas. Since
the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this process.
13. Remove the door to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
