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.

Safe Operation
Use this dishwasher only for its 

intended function, which is the 

washing of household dishware and 

kitchenware rated as dishwasher 

safe.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents 

recommended for use in a 

dishwasher, and keep them out of 

the reach of children.

CAUTION
When loading items to be 

washed:
■

Locate sharp items so they 

are not likely to damage the 

door seal.

■

Load knives and other sharp 

utensils with their HANDLES 

UP to reduce the risk of 

cut-type injuries.

■

Do not wash plastic items 

unless they are marked 

“dishwasher safe” or the 

equivalent. For plastic items 

not so marked, check the 

manufacturer’s 

recommendations.

■

Do not operate your 

dishwasher unless all 

enclosure panels are in 

place.

■

Do not tamper with or 

override controls and 

interlocks.

Do not abuse, sit or stand on the 

door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

WARNING
RISK OF INJURY!

To avoid risk of injury, always 

use caution when opening the 

door during or following a wash 

cycle as hot water or steam 

may escape. Do not fully open 

the door until water noises have 

stopped and steam has 

subsided.

NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential 

dishwashers are not intended for 

licensed food establishments.

Child Safety
To reduce risk of injury, do not allow 

children to play in or on the 

dishwasher.
When children become old enough 

to operate the appliance, it is the 

responsibility of the parents/legal 

guardians to ensure the children are 

instructed in safe practices by 

qualified persons.
