„ Connect the dishwasher/appliance to a grounded 

metal, permanent wiring system; or run an equipment-
grounding conductor with the circuit conductors and 
connect to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead 
of the appliance.

„ 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 appliance is properly 
grounded.

„ 

Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping 

 

or packing material properly. 

„ Do not attempt to repair or replace any part 

 

of your dishwasher unless it is specifically 
recommended in this manual. All other servicing 
should be referred to a qualified technician.

„ 

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, 
disconnect this appliance from the power supply 
before attempting any maintenance. 

  NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect 

the appliance from the power supply. We recommend 
having a qualified technician service your appliance.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more 
weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning 
on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance 
connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since 
the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.

„

 

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose  
as described in this Owner’s Manual.

„

 

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