Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

Check with the installer to make sure the appliance has been properly grounded to avoid possible electrical shock. Be sure you read the important personal safety instructions before you use this dishwasher.

Products with a label have been listed with Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. – those with a CSA tag have been listed with Canadian Standards Association. Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using electricity and moving parts, there is a potential hazard.

WARNING

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

1.Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2.Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3.Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before attempting to service.

4.To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back must be enclosed and the front panels must be attached before electrical power is applied to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for proper grounding procedures.

5.Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

6.Children should never be permitted to operate, or play in, with, or around this dishwasher.

7.To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.

8.Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It will be hot.

9.Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for a residential automatic dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products out of reach of children.

10.Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

11.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, 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 process.

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

13.Do not tamper with controls.

14.To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation risks, always remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

15.Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.

16.Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
