IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

When loading your dishwasher, follow basic safety pre- cautions, including the following;

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function (normal, household use only).

Use only detergents or wetting agents recommend- ed for use in a dishwasher; do not use them for hand-washing, and keep them out of the reach of children.

When loading items to be washed:

Locate sharp items (e.g. forks or knives) so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

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

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Do not touch the heating element (located under the filter) during or immediately after use.

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

Do not tamper with controls.

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

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to operate (or play in or on) the dishwasher.

Do not allow children to play around the dishwasher when opening or closing the dishwasher door.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used in two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes (this will release any accumulated hydrogen gas). As hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Do not spray water on the appliance (it may cause electric shock or failure of electrical parts).

DANGER

Dishwasher detergent is a strong alkaline and can be extremely dangerous if swallowed; avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep children away from the dish- washer when the door is open. Check that the deter- gent receptacle is empty at the end of each wash cycle.

WARNING

Instructions pertaining to the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

Eectrical Instructions:

To minimize possible shock hazards it must be plugged into a matching 3-prong (grounding type) electrical outlet. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to reduce the risk of a hazard.
