Avoiding General Hazards
Do not use the dishwasher until it is completely  installed. When opening 
the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while 
supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can cause the 
dishwasher to tip over and result in serious injury.
Before installing the supplied counter top mounting brackets, decide which 
method will be used to secure the dishwasher into its opening. Once these 
mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is dif-
ficult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that 
has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before filling a 
dishwasher from a system that has been off for weeks, run the water from 
a nearby faucet in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evidence 
of gas.
Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dish-
washer’s base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered 
or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6″ (152.4 mm) away from the 
dishwasher.
Removing any cover or pulling the dishwasher from the cabinet can 
expose hot water connections, electrical power and sharp edges or points. 
Handle with care.
Avoiding Electrical Shock/Fire Hazards
Do not work on an energized circuit. Doing so could result in serious 
injury or death. Only qualified electricians should perform electrical work. 
Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher electric supply circuit until 
you are certain the circuit is de-energized.
Make sure electrical work is properly installed. There should be no loose 
electrical connections. Ensure all electrical connections are properly 
made.
The customer has the responsibility of ensuring that the dishwasher 
electrical installation is in compliance with all national and local electrical 
codes and ordinances. The dishwasher is designed for an electrical 
supply of 120V, 60 Hz, AC, connected to a dishwasher-dedicated, properly 
grounded  electrical  circuit  with  a  fuse  or  breaker  rated  for  15  amps. 
Electrical supply conductors shall be a minimum #14 AWG copper only 
wire rated at 75°C (167°F) or higher.
