FAQs

What should be done before using the dishwasher for the first time?

Follow the “IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION” and ensure the dishwasher is properly installed and located according to the installation instructions. If an installation sheet was not received, it can be obtained from the manufacturer’s website.

Why is hydrogen gas mentioned in this manual, and what is the recommended action?

If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, hydrogen gas may be produced in an unused water heater. Turn on all hot water faucets and let them run for several minutes before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system, without smoking or using open flames during this process.

How should a discarded dishwasher be handled to reduce risk to children?

Before throwing away an old dishwasher, take off the door of the washing compartment or remove the door latch keeper. This helps prevent accidents and child entrapment when the appliance is no longer in use.
