IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following.
Dishwasher safety
4
• 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 handless 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 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 rack 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.
