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.
Proper use
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Open the door very
carefully if the dishwasher is operating. There is a risk of water squirting out.
• Do not place any heavy objects of stand on the door when it is open. The appliance could tip forward.
• When loading items to be washed:
-
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal;
