Getting Started

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher! Save these operating

instructions and pass them on to any future user.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose as described in

this user manual. This appliance is intended for normal household

use only.

•The manufacturer disclaims responsibility for damage or injury

caused by improper use of this appliance.

• The information in this user manual must be followed to minimize

the risk of fire or explosion and to prevent property damage,

personal injury, or loss of life.

•DO NOT operate your dishwasher unless all the enclosure panels

are properly in place.

•DO NOT tamper with the controls.

•DO NOT abuse, sit on, stand in or on the door or dish rack of the

dishwasher.

• The cup racks are designed to support cups, glasses, and kitchen

utensils. When the cup racks are in the dishwasher, do not lean on

or use the cup racks to support your body weight.

• To reduce the risk of injury, DO NOT allow children to play in, on,

or near the dishwasher.

• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a

household dishwasher and keep them in a dry place out of the

reach of children. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after

the completion of each wash program.

Important Safety Instructions

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the

following:

Getting Started

• Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if

inhaled or swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep

children and people in poor health away from the dishwasher when

the door is opened. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has

been swallowed or inhaled.

•DO NOT drink water from the dishwasher! Harmful residues could

be present.

• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot

water heater 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 taps and let the water flow from each for several

minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As gas is

flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•DO NOT store or use flammable liquids or vapors in the area of the

dishwasher.

• When loading items to be washed, position sharp items so that they

are not likely to damage the door seal and 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.

• If a malfunction occurs, switch off the appliance and turn off the

water supply to the dishwasher.

• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the

appliance, disconnect the power plug, and turn off the water

supply.

• Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively

by a qualified technician.

• If the dishwasher is not in use for an extended period of time (i.e.

vacation home), we recommend you check that the baskets are

empty, leave the inside of the dishwasher clean, leave the door

cracked open to allow air to circulate, and turn off both the power

and water supply to the dishwasher.

Important Safety Instructions

Getting Started

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 appliance is properly

grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

California to cause cancer.

-This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of

• This appliance 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. This

appliance 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.

• This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal,

permament 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 appliance.

Getting Started

Installation

• The dishwasher installation must be performed in accordance with

the installation guide. If you did not receive an installation guide,

order it by calling 1-888-VIKING1 (1-888-845-4641) or you may also

download it from our website at www.vikingrange.com.

• Installation, maintenance, and repair should be performed by a

qualified installer. Work by unqualified persons could be dangerous

and may void the warranty.

•DO NOT operate the dishwasher if damaged, malfunctioning,

partially disassembled, or if it has missing or broken parts.

• Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the

work area by unplugging the unit, “tripping” the circuit breaker, or

removing the fuse.

• Only connect the dishwasher to the power supply when all

installation and plumbing work is complete.

•DO NOT install or store the dishwasher where it can be exposed to

below freezing temperatures or exposed to weather.

• Dishwasher must be secured to adjacent cabinetry using the

brackets provided. Failure to do this may cause damage to property

or bodily injury.

• Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized power supply

circuit to avoid electrical overload. The dishwasher is designed for

an electrical supply of 120V (volts), 60Hz (hertz), AC, connected to a

dishwasher-dedicated, properly grounded electrical circuit with a

fuse or breakers rated for 15 amperes. Electrical supply conductors

shall be a minimum of #16 AWG copper wire rated at 167°F (75°C)

or higher. These requirements must be met to prevent injury and

machine damage. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

•DO NOT use any extension cord or portable outlet device to

connect the dishwasher to a power supply.

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the

following:

• Remove the dishwasher door when removing an old dishwasher

from service or discarding it. Ensure that the dishwasher presents no

danger to children while being stored for disposal.

• Old appliances may contain materials that can be recycled. Please

contact your local recycling authority about the possibility of

recycling these materials.
