IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a

dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

When loading items to be washed:

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the

door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the 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 touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are

Do not leave the dishwasher open when not loading or unloading

dishes.

properly in place.

Do not tamper with controls.

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the

dishwasher.

Do not use replacement parts that have not been recommended

by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).

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, before using the

dishwasher 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 time.

Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it.

This product is intended for residential use only.

This product is not intended for use by persons (including

children) whose physical, sensory, or mental capacities are

different or reduced, or who lack experience or knowledge,

unless such persons are supervised or trained in the operation of

the apparatus by a person responsible for your safety.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or

on the dishwasher.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher 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. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet

that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if

you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the

dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

■

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the dishwasher.

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

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.

What does '6th Sense' mean? Verified

Whirlpool appliances that are equipped with 6th Sense technology have sensors that ensure optimal operation of the machine. For example in dryers, these sensors measure the moisture left in the wash and stops the machine when everything is completely dry.

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.

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified
