and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all
instructions before using the dishwasher.
This dishwasher is intended for use up to a maximum

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or serious injury, observe the following:
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or
death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered
in this manual or for any purpose other than those
explained in the following pages.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
Severe injury and/or product damage could result from
the use of unauthorized service technicians or non-
original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed
by an authorized service technician using only original
equipment factory replacement parts.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply
for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly
installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly
grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this
manual unless you are certain the electrical supply has
been correctly installed and the dishwasher has been
properly grounded.
WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION
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.
Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot
water system that has been unused for two weeks or
R i s k o f f i r e , e l e c t r i c a l s h o c k , o r s e r i o u s i n j u r y
longer, 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 explosive, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
When cleaning your dishwasher with any cleaning
▯
agent, remove all cookware, utensils or any foreign
material from inside. Some cleaning agents are highly
acidic and/or caustic alkaline, which can cause
hydrogen gas to form if aluminum material is also
inside the dishwasher tub. Hydrogen gas is explosive.
Refer to the Care and Maintenance section of the
dishwasher Use and Care manual for instructions on
how to properly clean your dishwasher.
WARNING
HEALTH HAZARD
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher.
Some bleach-based products can damage your
dishwasher and may present health hazards!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent
wiring system or an equipment grounding conductor
must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to
the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions included
with this dishwasher for more information on electrical
requirements.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
