Important Safety Instructions

Save These Instructions

Products with a label have been listed with

Underwriter’s Laboratories, Inc. – those with a CSA tag

have been listed with Canadian Standards Association.

Nevertheless, as with any other equipment using elec-

tricity and moving parts, there is a potential hazard.

WARNING – 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. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before

attempting to service.

4. 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 instruc-

tions for proper grounding procedures.

5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized

power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.

6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or

play in, with, or around this dishwasher.

7. 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.

8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of

the tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It

will be hot.

9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed

for an automatic dishwasher. Never use soap,

laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in

your dishwasher. Keep these products out of reach

of children.

10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks

of the dishwasher.

11. 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 such a period, turn on all hot water

faucets and let the water flow from each for sev-

eral 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 “dish-

washer safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items

not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recom-

mendations.

13. Do not tamper with controls.

14. Always remove the door to the washing compart-

ment when removing an old dishwasher from ser-

vice or discarding it.

15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher.

Dishes will be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle

has completed.

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Is it a problem to have scratches on the metal on the inside of the dishwasher? Verified

The inside of most dishwashers is made of stainless steel and are not affected by scratches.

This was helpful (666) Read more

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.

Can I put wooden objects such as spatulas and cutting boards in the dishwasher? Verified

No. Wooden objects can get damaged or warped in a dishwasher. Also, the wood fibres that come free might damage the dishwasher. Wooden cutting boards are often made with glue that can come loose after being in the dishwasher several times.
