WARNING
Avoiding General Hazards
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely
installed. When opening the door on an uninstalled
dishwasher, carefully open the door while
supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this
warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and
result in serious injury.
Before installing the “L”-shaped supplied countertop
mounting brackets (select models), decide which
method will be used to secure the dishwasher into
its opening. Once these mounting brackets are
installed on the dishwasher, removing them is
difficult and will damage the mounting brackets and
the dishwasher.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot
water system that has not been used for weeks.
Hydrogen gas is explosive.
Before filling a dishwasher from a system that has
been off for weeks, run the water from a nearby
faucet in a well ventilated area until there is no
sound or evidence of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating
will damage the dishwasher’s base and water inlet
valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or
sweated, keep the heat source at least 6Ǝ (152.4
mm) away from the dishwasher’s base and water
inlet valve.
Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from
the cabinet can expose hot water connections,
electrical power and sharp edges or points. Handle
with care.
Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards
Do not allow the electrical and water supply lines to
touch. Separate channels are provided under the
dishwasher.
Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could
result in serious injury or death. Only qualified
electricians should perform electrical work. Do not
attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply
circuit until you are certain the circuit is de-
energized.
Make sure electrical work is properly installed.
There should be no loose electrical connections.
Ensure all electrical connections are properly made.
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that
the dishwasher electrical installation is in
compliance with all national and local electrical
codes and ordinances. The dishwasher is designed
for an electrical supply of 120V, 60 Hz, AC,
connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly
grounded electrical circuit with a fuse or breaker
rated for 15 amps. Electrical supply conductors
shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper only wire
rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
This appliance 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 appliance. Do not
use extension cords.
Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards
Do not perform any work on a charged hot water
line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified
plumber should perform plumbing work. Do not
attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water
supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water
supply is shut off.
Do not over tighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may
damage the water inlet valve and cause a water
leak.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating
will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. If
plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep
the heat source at least 6Ǝ (152.4 mm) away from
the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.
Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing
procedures and accessories. All plumbing should
be done in accordance with national and local
codes.
