Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
Failure to follow instructions may result in minor
or moderate injury or product damage.
■ Do not tamper with controls.
■ Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, 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 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 the gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame
during this time.
■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
