To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety

precautions, including the following:

Do not operate the dishwasher without the door

13.

completely closed and the toe kick panel in place.
Store all detergents and rinse aids out of the reach

14.

of children.
During loading, insert all sharp or pointed objects

will not damage the door seal or cause personal

injury.
Do not tamper with the controls.

explosive. If the hot water system has not been

used for a period of time, turn on all hot water

faucets and let the water flow for several minutes

to release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not

smoke or use an open flame during this process.
To prevent child entrapment, always remove the

door from an old dishwasher when removing it from

service.
To prevent household mold and mildew damage,

19.

periodically check the inlet and drain hoses for

leaks.
If the dishwasher outlet is connected to a garbage

disposal, make sure the disposal is completely

empty before running the dishwasher.
To avoid damage to the racks, do not let sharp

21.

edges come into contact with them.
