Important Safety Instructions

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:

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.

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 if dishwasher is connected with a food waste disposer.

Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place.

To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.

Keep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.

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.

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

Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before servicing.

Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

Do not tamper with controls.

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

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.

18 inch built in and portable specifications

Frigidaire has long been synonymous with quality and innovation in the appliance industry, and its 18-inch built-in and portable dishwashers are no exception. These models cater to a diverse range of customer needs, combining functionality with space efficiency, making them ideal choices for compact kitchens, apartments, or even recreational vehicles.

One of the standout features of the Frigidaire 18-inch dishwasher is its versatility. The built-in version seamlessly integrates into cabinetry, providing a sleek, unobtrusive look. On the other hand, the portable dishwasher option offers flexibility for those who may not have the plumbing or space for a built-in unit. The portable model often comes with wheels and a countertop design allowing for easy storage and mobility without sacrificing performance.

Performance is a key consideration, and Frigidaire does not disappoint. Both models utilize a high-efficiency wash system that delivers powerful cleaning cycles. With multiple wash cycles and options, users can tailor each wash to their specific needs, whether that be for heavily soiled pots and pans or delicate glassware. The dishwashers are designed with a stainless steel interior that not only enhances durability but also contributes to superior drying performance, leaving dishes spotless and free of residue.

The advanced technology features prominent in these dishwashers include the OrbitClean wash system, which maximizes cleaning coverage by using rotating spray arms. Additionally, the Energy Star certification assures users of energy efficiency, helping to reduce utility bills while being mindful of environmental impact.

Another characteristic that stands out is the noise level. The Frigidaire 18-inch dishwashers operate at a remarkably quiet decibel level, allowing for operation at any time without disrupting household activities. Some models also feature a delay-start option, enabling users to set the washer to run during off-peak hours for added convenience.

User-friendly controls and an easy-to-read LED display make it simple to select the desired settings. The attractive design, coupled with a reliable performance record, has made Frigidaire a trusted name in dishwashing solutions.

In conclusion, whether you choose the built-in or portable model, the Frigidaire 18-inch dishwashers deliver on all fronts—performance, energy efficiency, space-saving design, and advanced technology—making them a worthy investment for modern kitchens.
