WARNING--Products with a UL label have been listed with the Underwriter's Laboratories, Inc.--those with a CSA tag have been listed with Canadian Standards Association. Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using electricity and moving parts, there is a potential hazard. When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following: 1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher, 2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function, 3. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back must be enclosed, and the front panels must be attached before electrical power is applied to the dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for proper grounding procedures, 4. Children should never be permitted to operate, or play in, with or around this dishwasher, 5. 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. 6. Be careful not to touch the heating element on the bottom of the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It may be hot. 7. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity, of this or any other appliance. g Use only a detergent designed for an automatic dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your dishwasher. Keep these products out of the reach of children. 9. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish rack of the dishwasher, 10. To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance. Note: Turning the control dial to the OFF position does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply, we recommend having a qualified technician service your appliance. 11. WARNING--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 two weeks or you have moved into a residence in which the hot water system may not have been used for some time, 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 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. Load light plastic items so they will not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher-they may come into contact with the heating unit and be damaged. 14. Do not tamper with controls. 15. Always remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it. 16. Instructions for grounding this appliance can be found in the Installation Instructions.
