Hydrogen gas is explosive
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 such
a period, 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.
