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. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep
them out of the reach of children.
4. When loading items to be washed:
- locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and
- load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
5. 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.
6. Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.
7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all ENCLOSURE panels are properly in place.
8. Do not tamper with the controls.
9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on 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, before using the dishwasher turn
on all hot-water faucets and let the water ow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use
an open ame during this time.
12. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
