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 two weeks, 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.

When removing an old dishwasher from service or

discarding it, remove the door to the washing

compartment.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline,

or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before

servicing.

Repairs should be done by a qualified technician.

Load all long and sharp items in the knife/utensil

basket. If this is not possible, load sharp objects

with the pointed end facing the back of the

dishwasher. Sharp items loaded in the silverware

basket should be loaded with pointed ends down.
