IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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 explo-
sive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this
time.

▶ Only use the appliance in enclosed residential space
according to the installation manual.
Never expose the appliance to intense heat or humidity.

▶
ers to clean this appliance. If not followed, excess mois-
ture can accumulate.

To avoid risk of injury, when loading items to be washed,
observe the following.
Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the

"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommenda-
