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 di󰀩cult 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 lling a dishwasher from a system that has
been o󰀨 for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet
in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evi-
dence 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 6″ (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 qualied electri-
cians 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.
