IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

a)Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

b)Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

c)Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.

d)When loading items to be washed:

1)locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and

2)load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

e)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.

Note: This statement may be omitted for an appliance that employs a heating element that is located or guarded such that melted plastic items are not likely to contact it.

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

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

h)Do not tamper with controls.

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

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

k)Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for 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 the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
