Dishwasher Safety & User Guide.pdf

Always read and follow safety instructions. Key points include:
- Use only recommended detergents and keep them out of reach of children.
- Load sharp items carefully to prevent damage or injury.
- Do not operate without proper enclosure panels or tamper with controls.
- Be cautious with hot water systems not used for two weeks to avoid explosive hydrogen gas.
- Remove the door before discarding the dishwasher.

- Filtration System: The dishwasher has a three-part filtration system (fine filter plate, coarse filter, lower filter). Clean filters when visible objects or soils are present, or if dishes feel gritty. Do not use wire brushes or scouring pads.

- Drying: Use a rinse aid for effective drying. Press START/Cancel every time you add a dish mid-cycle.

- Upper Rack Adjustment: Raise or lower the upper rack to fit various items. Ensure the rack is level.

- Safety Warnings: Do not use the dishwasher until fully installed. Do not push down on the open door to prevent injury.

- Grounding Instructions: Ensure the dishwasher is properly grounded to prevent electric shock. For cord-connected dishwashers, use a grounded outlet. For permanently connected dishwashers, connect to a grounded metal permanent wiring system.

- Operating Tips: Prepare and load the dishwasher with soiled surfaces facing down and inward. Avoid overlapping items and secure lightweight loads. Use slots in covers to keep silverware separated.

- Registration & Manual: Register your dishwasher at www.whirlpool.com (or .ca for Canada). For complete user instructions, download the manual from the same website. Spanish instructions are available at www.whirlpool.com.
