Avoiding General Hazards
Do
not
use
the
dishwasher
until
it
is
completely
installed.
When opening
the door on an uninstalled
dish-
washer,
carefully
open the door while
supporting
the
rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning
can cause
the dishwasher
to tip over and result in serious injury.
Before
installing
the
"l£-shaped
supplied
countertop
mounting
brackets
(select
models),
decide
which
method
will be used to secure the dishwasher
into its
opening.
Once these mounting
brackets
are installed
on
the dishwasher,
removing
them is difficult
and will dam-
age the mounting
brackets
and the dishwasher.
In some conditions,
hydrogen
gas can form
in a hot
water system that has not been used for weeks. Hydro-
gen gas is explosive.
Before filling
a dishwasher
from a system that has been
off for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet
in a
well ventilated
area until there is no sound or evidence
of gas.
Temperatures
required
for soldering
and sweating
will
damage the dishwasher's
base and water inlet valve. If
plumbing
lines are to be soldered
or sweated,
keep the
heat source at least 6 inches (152.4
mm) away from the
dishwasher's
base and water inlet valve.
Removing
any cover or pulling the dishwasher
from the
cabinet
can expose
hot water
connections,
electrical
power
and sharp
edges
or points.
Handle
with
care.
Always wear gloves and safety glasses.
Avoiding Electrical
Shock/Fire
Hazards
Do not allow
the electrical
and water
supply
lines to

circuit.
Doing
so could
result in serious
injury
or death.
Only qualified

work on the dishwasher
hot water supply plumbing
until
you are certain
the hot water supply is shut off.
