DISHWASHER SAFETY
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 “WARNING” or
“CAUTION.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
CAUTION
Failure to follow instructions may result in minor
or moderate injury or product damage.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ 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 cuts.
■ 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 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.
■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

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.
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.
■
■
■
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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.
If 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 qualied
electrician or service representative if you are
in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug if it will not
t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualied 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.
