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 door to the washing compartment
when remov-
ing an old dishwasher
from service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow
wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
Protect your dishwasher
from the elements.
Protect against
freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill vane. Damage
