Read all instructions before using this appliance	‘:

VVARNING-When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:

c Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in the Operating Instructions and this Use and Care Book.

●This dishwasher must be properly installed and located in accordance with the installation Instructions before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Instructions sheet with your dishwasher you can obtain one by con- tacting the service location nearest you.

–This appliance must be connected to a ,~%3 grounded metal, permanent, wiring system;

“or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and con- nected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.

–Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power-supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

●Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.

●Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manu- facturer’s recommendations.

●Load light plastic items so they will not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher—they might come into con- tact with the heating unit and be damaged.

To minimize the possibility of injury.

●When loading items to be washed:

A.Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and

B.Load sharp knives with the handles up

to reduce a risk of cut-type injuries.

●Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

●Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

c Do not tamper with controls.

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

. Close supervision is necessary if this appli- ance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play inside, on or with this appli- ance or any discarded appliance. Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing material properly. Before discarding a dish- washer, remove the door of the washing compartment.

●Keep all washing detergents and wetting agents out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container labels to avoid personal injury.

c HYDROGEN GAS is produced by the chemical action within your water heater and the gas can accumulate in the water heater and/or water pipes if hot water has not been used for a period of two weeks or longer. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. So to prevent the possibility of damage or injury, if you have not used hot water for two weeks or more, or move into a residence in which the hot water system may not have been used for some time, turn on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes before using any electrical appliance which is con- nected to the hot water system. This will allow any hydrogen gas to escape. Of course, since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
