General Safety Precautions

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow 

basic safety precautions, including the following:

•  Do not tamper with the controls.
•  This appliance is designed for installation by 

more than one person. To avoid personal injury, 

do not attempt to move or lift the dishwasher 

without assistance.

•  Do not leave children alone or unattended in 

the area where the dishwasher is in use.

•  Use only detergents and rinse aids recommend-

ed for use in a residential dishwasher. Keep 

them out of the reach of children.

•  Never allow anyone, including children, to sit or 

stand on any part of the dishwasher. Stepping 

or sitting on any part of it may result in tipping, 

damage and serious injury.

•  If the dishwasher drain outlet is connected to 

a garbage disposer, make sure the disposer 

is completely empty before running the 

dishwasher.

•  Do not operate the dishwasher without the door 

completely closed and all enclosure panels 

properly in place.

•  Many surfaces within the dishwasher can 

achieve high temperatures. Do not touch 

interior surfaces or items inside the dishwasher 

during or immediately after use. Exercise 

caution when opening the door. Let hot air and 

steam escape before looking or reaching inside.

•  During loading, insert all sharp or pointed 

objects with the handles up. Locate these items 

where they will not damage the door seal or 

cause personal injury.

•  To avoid damage to the racks, do not let sharp 

edges come into contact with them.

•  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 a period of time, turn on all 

hot water faucets and let the water flow for 

several minutes to release any accumulated 

hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open 

flame during this process.

•  To prevent household mold and mildew 

damage, periodically check the inlet and drain 

hoses for leaks.
