. DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions for details.

l Be sure your dishwasher is installed on a level floor that will hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

l When discarding an old dishwasher, always remove the door to prevent accidental entrapment.

l REMEMBER, use your dishwasher only for the job it was designed to do.

l Store dishwasher detergent in a cool, dry place WHERE CHILDREN CAN’T REACH IT.

DO NOT reach into the area below the bottom rack until the heating element has cooled for at least 20 minutes.

DO NOT wash plastic items unless marked “Dishwasher Safe” or the equivalent. If not marked, check manufacturer’s recommendations.

DO NOT use your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

DO NOT sit on, stand on or abuse the dish- washer door or dish racks.

DO NOT tamper with controls.

If hot water has not been used recently (usually two weeks or longer), hydrogen gases may build up in the water heater

and the hot water pipes. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. To prevent injury or damage, before using your dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and allow water to run for several minutes. This will allow gases to escape. Do not smoke or use any open flame near the faucet while it is open.

Disconnect electrical power to the dish- washer before attempting to service.
