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

l Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

l Properly connect to electricity and water.

. DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instruc- tions for details.

lBe sure your dishwasher is installed on a level floor that will hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

l When discarding an old dishwasher, always remove the door to prevent accidental entrapment.

l REMEMBER, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do.

l Store dishwasher detergent in a cool, dry place WHERE CHILDREN CAN’T REACH IT

l Use ONLY detergents and rinse aids recom- mended for use in a dishwasher.

l Locate sharp items and knives so that they are not likely to damage door seal or cut the user.

l DO NOT let children play in or on the dishwasher.

l DO NOT reach into the area below the bottom rack until the heating element has cooled for at least 20 minutes.

l DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked “Dishwasher Safe” or the equivalent. If not marked, check manufacturer’s recommendations.

l DO NOT use your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

l DO NOT sit on, stand on or abuse the dish- washer door or dish racks.

To prevent injury or damage, before using your dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and allow water to run for sev- era1 minutes. This will allow gases to escape. Do not smoke or use any open flame near the faucet while it is open.
