installed.
When open-
ing the door
on an uninstalled
dishwasher,
carefully
open
the door

to follow
this warning
can cause the dishwasher

injury.
Before

hydrogen
gas can form in a hot water
system that
has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen
gas is explosive.
Before

run the water from a nearby faucet
in a well ventilated
area until there
is no sound or evidence
of gas.
