When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal or cause personal injury.
• 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 (under tub filter)
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.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play near 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.
Hydrogen Gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
open flame during this time.
• IMPORTANT: When removing/discarding your old
dishwasher, always follow basic safety
precautions; Remove the door from the cabinet.
If it is not possible to remove the door, dismantle
and/or disable the door lock mechanism. This will
prevent children from being accidentally trapped
inside.
