RISK OF EXPLOSION - 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 . Before using a dishwasher that is
connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or
longer, 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 explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
•
RISK OF EXPLOSION - When cleaning your dishwasher with any cleaning
agent, remove all cookware, utensils or any foreign material from inside .
Some cleaning agents are highly acidic and/or caustic alkaline, which
can cause Hydrogen gas to form if aluminum material is also inside the
dishwasher tub . Hydrogen gas is explosive .

Maintenance section of the dishwasher Use and Care manual for
