WARNING
 WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning 
on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical 
appliance connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to 
escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
 TO PREVENT MINOR INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
Ŷ
 During or after wash cycle, contents may be hot to 
the touch. Use care before handling.
Ŷ
 Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is 
used by or near children. Do not allow children to 
play around the dishwasher when closing the door, 
closing the upper rack, or while vertically adjusting 
the upper rack due to the possibility of small fingers 
being pinched.
Ŷ
 Non-Dishware Items: Do not wash items such as 
electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters and 
paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the 
dishwasher and discoloration or staining of the 
dishwasher may result.

 Load light-weight, plastic items so they do not 
become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the 
dishwasher—they might come into contact with the 
heating element and be damaged.
