WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, and to prevent property damage, personal injury, or death.

WARNING! WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.

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

„Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

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

„Do not store or use combustible materials including gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

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

„Do not tamper with controls.

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

„Connect the dishwasher/appliance to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or run an equipment- grounding conductor with the circuit conductors and connect to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance.

„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.

„Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing material properly.

„Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

„To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance.
