GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a
grounding wire and grounding plug. The power
cord must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
grounded. If the outlet is a 2-prong wall outlet, it
is your responsibility to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The serial
rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the
appliance is designed for.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service agent
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Do not connect your appliance to extension cords
or together with another appliance in the same wall
outlet. Do not splice the power cord. Do not under
any circumstances cut or remove the third ground
prong from the power cord.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
Ensure that component parts are replaced with like
components and that servicing is done by factory
authorized service personnel to minimize the risk of
possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) whose physical, sensory or
mental capabilities may be different or reduced,
or who lack experience or knowledge, unless such
persons receive supervision or training to operate
the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
Hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period
of time. If the hot water system has not been used in two weeks or more, turn on all hot water
faucets and let the water flow for several minutes before using the dishwasher. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
