Dishwasher Safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in the manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

nDo not tamper with controls.
nDo not let children abuse, sit, stand or play on door or racks of a dishwasher.
nKeep young children and infants away from dishwasher when it is operating.
nUnder 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.
nTo avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove door or door latch mechanism from any dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.
