WARNING
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.

Remove the dishwasher door to the 

washing compartment when 

removing an old dishwasher for 

service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible 

mold growth, do not allow wet areas 

to remain around or under the 

dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not 

allow water to remain in your 

dishwasher systems through 

extended periods of freezing 

temperatures. Freezing temperatures 

can damage the water fill valve and 

potentially other components of your 

dishwasher.

NOTICE
It is highly recommended for the end 

user to become familiar with the 

procedure to shut off the incoming 

water supply and the procedure to 

shut off the incoming power supply. 

See the Installation Instructions or 

contact your installer for more 

information.
