Basic Safety Instructions
W W A A R R N N I I N N G G
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.
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 the 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 the 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.
