•NSF certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

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

•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 and create a potential fire hazard.

•Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

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

•Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

•Do not tamper with controls.

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

•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.

•Water vapor from the vent may be hot to the touch when the SANITIZE option has been selected. Use care and do not let small children play around or touch the vent area of the dishwasher.

•When loading items to be washed:

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

-Load sharp items and knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

•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.
