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,
play in, with, or around this dishwasher.
7. Do not operate the dishwasher unless all
enclosed panels are properly in place.
8. 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 drawer seal.
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 drawer(s) or
dish rack(s) 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 drawers to the
washing compartment when removing an old
dishwasher from service or discarding it.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher.
Dishes may be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle
has completed.
16. Certified residential dishwashers are NOT intended
for licensed food establishments.
17. To avoid water, mold or mildew damage to your
home, inlet and drain hose connections should be
checked periodically for leaks.
