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.

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this 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:

follow instructions.

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

■

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

■

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use

in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

■

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.

■

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.

■

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately

after use.

■

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

are properly in place.

■

Do not tamper with controls.

■

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks

of the dishwasher.

■

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in

or on the dishwasher.

■

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.

■

Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.

Before Using Your Dishwasher

■ Install where dishwasher is protected from the elements.

Protect against freezing to avoid possible rupture of fill valve.

Such ruptures are not covered by the warranty. See “Storing”

section for winter storage information.

■ Install and level dishwasher on a floor that will hold the

weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

■ Remove all shipping plugs from hoses and connectors (such

as the cap on the drain outlet) before installing. See

Installation Instructions for complete information.

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher.

Connect ground wire to green ground connector in

terminal box.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

■

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a

malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the

risk of electric shock by providing a path of least

resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is

equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or

service representative if you are in doubt whether the

dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the

plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the

outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

■

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded

metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-

grounding conductor must be run with the circuit

conductors and connected to the equipment-

grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

START-UP GUIDE

Before using your dishwasher, remove all packaging materials. Read this entire Use and Care Guide. You will find important safety

information and useful operating tips.

Using Your New Dishwasher

1. Scrape large food soil and hard items (toothpicks or bones)

from dishes.

2. Properly load the dishwasher. (See “Dishwasher Loading.”)

Make sure nothing keeps the spray arm(s) from spinning

freely.

3. Add detergent and check the rinse aid dispenser. Add rinse

aid if needed. (See “Dishwasher Use.”)

4. Push door firmly closed. The door latches automatically. Run

hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the water

is hot. (See “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips.”) Turn off water.

5. Select the desired cycle and options. (See “Dishwasher

Use.”)

6. Press START/RESUME.

NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is

interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not

resume until the door is closed, and Start/Resume is pressed.

Stopping Your Dishwasher

You can stop your dishwasher anytime during a cycle.

1. Open the door slightly.

2. Wait for the spraying action to stop. Then open the door all

the way, if needed.

Close the door and press START/RESUME to continue the cycle.

Press CANCEL/DRAIN. A 2-minute drain starts.

DISHWASHER LOADING

Loading Suggestions

■ Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other hard

items from the dishes. It is not necessary to rinse the dishes

before putting them into the dishwasher. The wash module

removes food particles from the water. The module contains a

chopping device which will reduce the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds, nuts, and eggshells

enter the wash module, you might hear chopping, grinding,

crunching, or buzzing sounds. These sounds are normal

when hard items enter the module. To avoid damage to the

dishwasher, do not let metallic items (such as pot handle

screws) get into the wash module.

■ It is important for the water spray to reach all soiled surfaces.

■ Load dishes so they are not stacked or overlapping, if

possible. For best drying, water must be able to drain from all

surfaces.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,

etc., do not interfere with the spray arm rotation.

■ Run a rinse cycle to keep dishes moist if you do not plan to

wash them soon. Foods such as eggs, rice, pasta, spinach,

and cooked cereals may be hard to remove if they are left to

dry over a period of time.

Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation:

■ Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

■ Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets,

etc., do not touch interior walls or interfere with the rotation of

the spray arm.

■ Load dishes so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: For built-in models, keep sink drain plugs closed during

dishwasher operation to avoid noise transfer through drains.

Loading Top Rack

The top rack is designed for cups, glasses, and smaller items.

Many items, up to 9" (22 cm), fit in the top rack. (See

recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

■ Place items so open ends face down for cleaning and

draining.

■ Load glasses in top rack only. The bottom rack is not

designed for glasses. Damage can occur.

■ Place cups and glasses in the rows between tines. Placing

them over the tines can lead to breakage and water spots.

■ China, crystal, and other delicate items must not touch each

other during dishwasher operation. Damage may occur.

■ Load lightweight plastic items in the top rack only. Only

plastic items marked “dishwasher safe” are recommended.

■ Load plastic items so the force of the spray does not move

them during the cycle.

■ To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items.

■ Small bowls, pans, and other utensils can be placed in the

top rack. Load bowls in the center section for best stability.

Loading Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is designed for plates, pans, casseroles, and

utensils. Many items, up to 13" (33 cm) tall, fit in the bottom rack.

(See recommended loading patterns shown.)

NOTE: The features on your dishwasher rack may vary from the

drawings shown.

■ Do not load glasses, cups, or plastic items in the bottom

rack. Load small items in the bottom rack only if they are

secured in place.

■ Load plates, soup bowls, etc., between tines.

■ Overlap the edges of plates for large loads.

■ Load soup, cereal, and serving bowls in the rack in a variety

of ways depending upon their size and shape. Load bowls

securely between the rows of tines. Do not nest bowls

because the spray will not reach all surfaces.

■ Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the

sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the

water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

■ Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■ Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation

of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

■ Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of

the dishwasher tub because they might block the water inlet

opening.

10 place setting

Loading Silverware Basket

Load the silverware basket while it is in the dishwasher or take

the basket out for loading on a counter or table top.

NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks

to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.

Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up

and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested

items.

IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing

down.

NOTES:

■ Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless

steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each

other during washing.

■ Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,

etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do

not have a full load to wash immediately.

DISHWASHER USE

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has two sections. The smaller Pre-Wash

section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close

the door. The larger Main Wash section automatically empties

detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the “Cycle

Selection Charts.”)

■ Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents

can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the

dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

■ Add detergent just before starting cycle.

■ Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh

automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by moving

the cover latch to the right.

2. Add the correct amount of detergent to the Main Wash

section of the dispenser according to the chart below. If you

are using a tablet detergent, it must be placed in the Main

Wash section. (See “How much detergent to use.”)

3. Add the correct amount of detergent to the Pre-Wash section

of the dispenser, if needed, according to the chart below.

4. Close the dispenser cover.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing

detergent.

NOTE: See the “Cycle Selection Charts” for which section to fill

depending on the cycle selected.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered

detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow

instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.

Rinse Aid Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to

drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a

solid or bar-type rinse aid.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under

normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months.

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2. Turn the dispenser knob to “Open” and lift it out.

3. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to

“Full.” Take care not to overfill. (When the rinse aid indicator

drops to the “Add” level, add more rinse aid.)

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Place the knob back into the opening and turn to the “Lock”

position.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be

adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will

give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or

calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a higher setting.

To adjust the setting

1. Remove the dispenser knob.

2. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired

setting by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade

screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

3. Replace the dispenser knob.

How much detergent to use

■ The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your dishes, hardness of your water, and the type of detergent. If you

use too little, dishes will not be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

■ Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water

softener company, or county extension agent.

Dishwasher Efficiency Tips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent.

Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry

spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F

(49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if

the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make

some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent

ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from

the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the

faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold

water in the water line.

To check water temperature

1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at

least 1 minute.

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring

cup.

3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is

running into the cup.

Additional efficiency tips

■ To save water and energy and time, do not rinse dishes

before putting them into the dishwasher.

■ Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.

These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal

cycle.

■ Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher

during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding

heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

■ During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This

reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

■ Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow

longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use

a rinse aid to improve drying.

■ Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse

portion of the cycle only when needed.

■ Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after

meals until the dishwasher is full.

■ If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want

to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of

the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash

performance.

Cycle Selection Charts

Select the wash cycle and options desired and press START/

RESUME. The dishwasher starts filling once you press START/

RESUME, unless you select a delay wash. You can change

cycles and options as the machine is filling.

After completing a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the

cycle and options. It uses the same cycle and options again in

the next wash cycle, if you press only START/RESUME.

NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle or the power is

interrupted, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The cycle will not

resume until the door is closed and Start/Resume is pressed.

A “●” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have

some or all of the cycles shown.

Display time is for models with the dual digit display on the

console.

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added. The cycle

countdown (on some models) pauses at these points until water

reaches the temperature.

Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

*If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature

or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate

by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

DISHWASHER CARE

Cleaning

Cleaning the exterior

In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a

mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your

dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your dishwasher has a

stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Cleaning the interior

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the

inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.

Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. You may

want to wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser

other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming

or sudsing.

To clean interior

TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

Dishwasher is not operating properly

■ Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle

Is the Start/Resume indicator flashing? Opening the door or

interrupting the power stopped the cycle. Close the door and

press START/RESUME.

Does the Start/Resume indicator flash 3 times when you

press START/RESUME? The dishwasher is waiting for you to

open the door after the last cycle. Open and close the door,

then press START/RESUME.

Is the door closed tightly and latched?

(NOTE: On models with a dual-digit display, the control

displays “- -” during a cycle if it believes the door is not

latched.)

Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the “Cycle Selection

Charts.”

Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse

blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or

reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an

electrician.

Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor

automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not

restart, call for service.

Is the water shutoff valve (if installed) turned on?

It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several

seconds during the main wash.

■ Clean light is flashing

The dishwasher has malfunctioned. Call for service to check

heater circuit.

■ Dishwasher will not fill

Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down

freely? Press down to release.

■ Dishwasher seems to run too long

Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The

dishwasher runs longer while heating water. Refer to the

“Dishwasher Efficiency Tips” section.

A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles

until the water reaches the proper temperature.

■ Water remains in the dishwasher

Is the cycle complete?

■ Detergent remains in the covered section of the

dispenser

Is the cycle complete?

Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary.

■ White residue on the front of the access panel

Was too much detergent used? Refer to the “Detergent

Dispenser” section.

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different

brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.

■ Odor in the dishwasher

Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle

once or twice a day until you have a full load.

Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar

rinse as described in “Spotting and filming on dishes” later in

this Troubleshooting guide.

■ Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)

Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from

the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter.

Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.

Dishes are not completely clean

■ Food soil left on the dishes

Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the “Dishwasher

Loading” section.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing

results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the

dishwasher. Refer to the “Dishwasher Efficiency

Tips” section.

Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use

recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the

“Detergent Dispenser” section. Detergent must be fresh to be

effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/

or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Do you have hard water? You may need to increase the

amount of detergent you are using. Refer to the “Detergent

Dispenser” section. Also, you may need to switch to a

detergent with a phosphorus content of 8.7%.

Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do

not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser.

Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.

Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and

cans?

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper

dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to

120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have

questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified

plumber.

Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or

laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher

detergents only.

Spots and stains on dishes

■ Spotting and filming on dishes

Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your

water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse

aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid

dispenser filled.

Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing

results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the

dishwasher. Refer to the “Dishwasher Efficiency

Tips” section.

Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use

recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the

“Detergent Dispenser” section. Detergent must be fresh to be

effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/

or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper

dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to

120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have

questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified

plumber.

NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white

vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for occasional use

only. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too often could damage

your dishwasher.

1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy saving

dry option. Remove all silverware or metal items.

2. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or

dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack.

3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle

using an air-dry or an energy saving dry option. Do not

use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

■ Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-

colored deposit; etching is a cloudy film)

Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain

types of glassware. This is usually caused by some

combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing

solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher,

and the heat of drying. It might not be possible to avoid the

problem, except by hand washing.

To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but

not less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and

underload the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica

film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do

not use heated drying.

■ White spots on cookware with nonstick finish

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware

seasoning? Reseason cookware after washing in the

dishwasher.

■ Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior

Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes

using 1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the

covered section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use

detergent. Follow with a Normal wash cycle with detergent. If

treatment is needed more often than every other month, the

installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

■ Black or gray marks on dishes

Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing?

Disposable aluminum items can break down in the

dishwasher and cause marking. Hand wash these items.

Remove aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.

■ Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior

Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed

in the dishwasher? Stains gradually fade over time. Regular

use of heated drying will slow fading. Stains will not affect

dishwasher performance. Regular use of a rinse cycle and an

air-dry or energy-saving dry option will reduce the likelihood

of staining.

Dishes do not dry completely

■ Dishes are not dry

Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water

drainage? Do not overload. Refer to the “Dishwasher

Loading” section. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying.

Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.

Is the rinse aid dispenser empty? Refer to the “Rinse Aid

Dispenser” section.

Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving dry option? Use a

heated drying option for dryer dishes.

Dishes are damaged during a cycle

■ Chipping of dishes

Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and

glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from

washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and

out slowly.

NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of

china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic

dishwashing. Wash by hand.

Noises

■ Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds

A hard object has entered the wash module (on some

models). When the object is ground up, the sound should

stop. If the noise persists after a complete cycle, call for

service.

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT : Lors de l’utilisation du lave-vaisselle, suivre les précautions élémentaires dont les suivantes :

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

■

Lire la totalité des instructions avant d’utiliser le

lave-vaisselle.

■

N’utiliser le lave-vaisselle que pour laver la vaisselle.

■

Utiliser les détersifs ou agents de rinçage recommandés

pour lave-vaisselle et les garder hors de la portée des

enfants.

■

Lorsque vous chargez le lave-vaisselle :

1) Placer les objets coupants de façon qu’ils ne puissent

endommager le joint de la porte; et

2) Placer les couteaux le manche vers le haut de façon à ne

pas vous couper.

■

Ne pas laver d’articles en plastique à moins qu’ils ne soient

marqués “Peut aller au lave-vaisselle” ou l’équivalent. Si

l’article ne porte aucune indication, vérifier auprès du

fabricant.

■

Ne pas toucher l’élément chauffant pendant le

fonctionnement ou immédiatement après.

■

Ne pas faire fonctionner le lave-vaisselle si tous les

panneaux de l’enceinte ne sont pas en place.

■

Ne pas jouer avec les commandes.

■

■

Enlever la porte ou le couvercle du compartiment de lavage

lorsque vous remplacez ou mettez au rebut un vieux

lave-vaisselle.

Avant d’utiliser le lave-vaisselle

■ Installer le lave-vaisselle dans un endroit à l’abri des

intempéries. Protéger l’appareil contre le gel pour éviter une

rupture possible du robinet de remplissage. De telles ruptures

ne sont pas couvertes par la garantie. Voir la section

“Remisage” pour la préparation du remisage en hiver.

■ Installer et niveler le lave-vaisselle sur un plancher qui pourra

en supporter le poids, et dans un espace convenable pour

ses dimensions et son utilisation.

■ Enlever tous les bouchons d’expédition des tuyaux et des

raccords (tel que le capuchon sur l’ouverture de vidange)

avant l’installation. Voir les instructions d’installation pour des

renseignements complets.

Risque de basculement

Ne pas utiliser le lave-vaisselle jusqu’à ce qu’il soit

complètement installé.

Ne pas appuyer sur la porte ouverte.

Le non-respect de ces instructions peut causer des

blessures graves ou des coupures.

AVERTISSEMENT

Risque de choc électrique

Relier le lave-vaisselle à la terre d’une méthode

électrique.

Brancher le fil relié à la terre au connecteur vert relié à

la terre dans la boîte de la borne.

Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge.

Le non-respect de ces instructions peut causer

un décès, un incendie ou un choc électrique.
