7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be
washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with the
handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not likely to
damage the door seal.
8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of the tub
during or at the completion of a cycle. It will be hot.
9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for an
automatic dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry detergent,
or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these
products out of reach of children.
10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of the
dishwasher.
11. 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, turn on
all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydro-
gen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this process.
12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher
safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer's recommendations.
13. Do not tamper with controls.
14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation
risks, always remove the door to the washing compart-
ment when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will
be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.
