Dishwasher Safety

Your safety and the safety of others is very important°

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the

word "DANGER" or "WARNING." These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don't follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,

and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - When using the • Do not operate the dishwasher unless

dishwasher, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

• Read all instructions before using the

dishwasher.

Use the dishwasher only for its

intended function.

Use only detergents or rinse agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher

and keep them out of the reach of

children.

When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they

are not likely to damage the door

seal; and

2) 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.

all enclosure panels are properly in

place.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the

door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not

allow children to play in or on the

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 EXPLO-

SIVE. 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 the 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.

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until

completely installed.

Do not push down on open

door.

Doing so can result in serious injury

or cuts.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrically ground dishwasher.

Connect ground wire to green

ground connector in terminal box.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to do so can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

= For a grounded, cord connected

dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In

the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of electric

shock by providing a path of least

resistance for electric current. The

dishwasher is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conduc-

tor and a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an appropriate outlet that

is installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING = Improper connection of

the equipment-grounding conductor can

result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or

service representative if you are in

doubt whether the dishwasher is

properly grounded. Do not modify the

plug provided with the dishwasher; if it

will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

For a permanently connected

dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a

grounded metal, permanent wiring

system, or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit

conductors and connected to the

equipment-grounding terminal or lead

on the dishwasher.

Preparing to load the

=To save water and energy, do not rinse

dishes before putting them into the

dishwasher.

• Remove large pieces of food, bones, and

other hard items. The POWER CLEAN*

module removes food particles from the

water. The module contains a chopping

device which reduces the size of food items.

NOTE: If hard items such as fruit seeds,

nuts, and egg shells enter the POWER

CLEAN module, you might hear chopping,

grinding, crunching, or buzzing sounds.

Those sounds are normal when hard items

enter the module. Do not let metallic items

(such as pot handle screws) get into the

POWER CLEAN module. Damage can

occur.

Foods like eggs, rice, pasta, and cooked

cereals may be hard to remove if left to dry

over a period of time. Run a Rinse/Wash

Later cycle to keep dishes moist if you do

not plan to wash them soon.

• Load dishes so soiled surfaces face the

rotating spray arm.

Load dishes so they are not stacked or

overlapping. It is important for the water

spray to reach all soiled surfaces for best

washing. For best drying, water must be

able to drain from all surfaces.
