Manual.

possible condition and situation that
may occur. Use common sense and
caution when installing, operating
and maintaining any appliance.

or lead on this appliance. Read the
Installation Instructions for details.
• This dishwasher is designed to
operate on regular house current
(120V, 60Hz). Use a circuit equipped

operating.

• Store dishwasher detergent and rinse
agents out of the reach of children.
• If the dishwasher drains into a food
disposer, make sure disposer is
completely empty before running
dishwasher.
• Do not wash plastic items unless
marked: “Dishwasher Safe” or

for recommendations, if not
marked. Items that are not marked
dishwasher safe may melt and create
a potential fire hazard.
• When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items and knives so
that they are not likely to damage
the door seal or tub.
• Load sharp items and knives with
the handles up to reduce the risk
of cut-type injuries.

of cycle.

has not been used for such a period,
before using dishwasher, turn on
all hot water faucets and let water
flow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS

materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Disconnect electrical power to
dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a qualified
technician.
• To avoid entrapment and/
or suocation, remove door or
door latch mechanism from any
dishwasher that is discarded or not
in use.
