Junked or abandoned dishwashers are
dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a 
few days.” If you are getting rid of your old
dishwasher, please follow the instructions 
below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Dishwasher:

Take off the door of the washing
compartment or remove the door latch
keeper (as shown).

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE DISHWASHER

WARNING! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Door latch keeper

Hold nut at top of dishwasher
while removing screw

Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents or
rinse agents recommended for use in a
dishwasher and keep them out of the reach 
of children.

rinse agents have been approved for 

use in all Monogram Dishwashers.

Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the
dishwasher to fill with suds.

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 marked

dishwasher safe 

or the equivalent. For plastic

items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.

Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items 
such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace 
filters and paint brushes in your dishwasher.
Damage to dishwasher and discoloration or
staining of dishwasher may result.

Do not touch the heating element during or
immediately after use.

Do not operate your dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.

Close supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children. 

Load light plastic items so they will not
become dislodged and drop to the bottom 
of the dishwasher—they might come into
contact with the heating element and be
damaged.

WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
