Danby DDW497W - Manual (Page 4)

When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items (e.g. forks or knives) so that they are
not likely to damage the door seal.
• Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the
risk of cut-type injuries.
• 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 (located under the
filter) during or immediately after use.
• Do not operate the 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
operate (or play in or on) the dishwasher.
• Do not allow children to play around the dishwasher
when opening or closing the dishwasher door.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot-water system that has not been
used in 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 hydrogen gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when
removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding
it.
• Do not spray water on the appliance (it may cause
electric shock or failure of electrical parts).
Eectrical Instructions:
An electrical supply of 120V AC only, 60 Hz is required.
For your personal safety, the appliance must be ground-
ed. This appliance is equipped with a power cord having
a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock
hazards it must be plugged into a matching 3-prong
(grounding type) electrical outlet. If the power cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to
reduce the risk of a hazard.
Grounding Instructions:
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 is
equipped with a cord having 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
When loading your dishwasher, follow basic safety pre-
cautions, including the following;
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function
(normal, household use only).
• Use only detergents or wetting agents recommend-
ed for use in a dishwasher; do not use them for
hand-washing, and keep them out of the reach of
children.
