Important Safety Instructions

• Read all instructions before using your

dishwasher.

• Use your dishwasher only as instructed in this

Use and Care Manual.

• Instructions appearing in this Use and Care

Manual are not meant to cover every possible

condition and situation that may occur. Practice

common sense and caution when installing,

operating and maintaining any appliance.

• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRICALLY

GROUNDED. Read the Installation Instructions

for details.

• This dishwasher is designed to operate on

regular house current (120 V, 60 Hz). Use a

circuit equipped with a 15 ampere fuse or

circuit breaker. Use a 20 ampere fuse if

dishwasher is connected with a food waste

disposer.

• Do not operate dishwasher unless all enclosure

panels are in their proper place.

• Dispose of discarded appliance and

shipping or packing material properly.

• To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation,

remove door or door latch mechanism from

• Use only detergents and rinse agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher.

• Store dishwasher detergent and rinse agents

out of the reach of children.

• Do not wash plastic items unless marked

“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. Check with

manufacturer for recommendations, if not

marked. Items that are not dishwasher safe may

melt and create a potential fire hazard.

• If the dishwasher drains into a food disposer,

make sure disposer is completely empty before

running dishwasher.

• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher

before servicing.

• Repairs should be done by a qualified

technician.

• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not touch the heating element during or

immediately after use.

• 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.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not

been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN

GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If  hot water system 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 FLAMMABLE. Do not

smoke or use an open flame during this time.

• Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

or injury when using your dishwasher,

follow basic precautions including the
