Important Safety Instructions

Safety 3

Please read all safety instructions before using your new Electrolux dishwasher.

•Read all instructions before using your dishwasher.

•Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this Use and Care Manual.

•This manual does not cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Use common sense and caution when installing, operating and maintaining any appliance.

•National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Such establishments require a higher dishwasher water temperature to meet commercial sanitization requirements.

•DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions for details.

•This dishwasher is designed to operate on regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse or circuit breaker if dishwasher is connected with a food waste disposer.

•Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place as explained in the Installation Instructions provided with your dishwasher.

•To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

•Keep young children and infants a safe distance away from the dishwasher when it is in operation.

•Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.

•Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

•Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents out of the reach of children.

•Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. Check with manufacturer for recommendations, if not marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe may melt.

•If the dishwasher drains into a food disposal, make sure disposal is completely empty before running dishwasher.

This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as personal injury, burns, fire, and electrical shock.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions including the following:

•Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

•Repairs should be done by a qualified Electrolux professional.

•Do not tamper with controls.

•Use care unloading the dishware when the SANITIZE option has been selected. Contents may be hot to the touch immediately after the end of cycle.

•When loading and unloading items:

•Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage the tub or door seal.

•Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. Alternatively, place sharp items and knives in the utensil shelf located in the upper rack.

•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more.

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
