WARNING!
This manual does not cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. Common sense and caution
should always be used when installing, operating, and
maintaining any appliance.
•
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
•
Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read
the Installation Instructions for details.
•
Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.
•
Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the
home.
•
Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and rinse
agents.
•
To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents and
rinse aids out of the reach of children.
•
Do not load sharp items near the door; you could
damage the door seal.
•
Place sharp knives in the cutlery basket with the
sharp ends down to avoid the risk of cut-type injuries.
•
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For items not
marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Items not dishwasher safe could
become deformed or melt and create a potential fire
hazard.
•
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place (i.e., guard plate, access
panel, toe kick, etc.).
•
Do not tamper with controls by removing or
changing.
•
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher
door or baskets.
•
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 two weeks, 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.
•
When removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
•
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline,
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
•
Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
•
Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.
•
Read the grounding instructions in the installation
instructions.
Outdoor use
•
Always keep the door closed when not loading or
unloading the machine to ensure that water does
not penetrate the electrical components or control
panel.
Winter storage
See the Winter storage section in the Care and
maintenance instructions chapter.
Transport
•
Avoid long transport distances in very cold weather.
•
Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its
back.
Overflow guard function
The overflow protection starts pumping out the machine
and turns off the water supply if the water level in the
dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow
protection is triggered, turn off the water supply and call
the Customer Care Center.
Sealing tape
Do not remove the two pieces of sealing tape on the
inside of the door.
