Products OWNER'S MANUAL DDW399W COUNTERTOP DISHWASHER

2
When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal.
• Load sharp knives with the handles 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 touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish-
rack of the dishwasher.
•To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to
play in or on a 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
hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
