DROGEN 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.
