Proper Care and Maintenance
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.
