GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded to a 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. See the Installation Instructions included
with this dishwasher for more information on electrical
requirements.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
This appliance 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. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the
appliance is properly grounded.

is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware
rated as dishwasher safe.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for
use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of
children.
CAUTION

▯ Locate sharp items so they are not likely to
damage the door seal.
▯ Load knives and other sharp utensils with their
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 operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are in place.
▯ Do not tamper with or override controls and
interlocks.
Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of
the dishwasher.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening
the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or

noises have stopped and steam has subsided.
