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. Hydrogen Gas is flammable, do not smoke or use open flame during this time.

•IMPORTANT: When removing/discarding your old dishwasher, always follow basic safety precautions; Remove the door from the cabinet. If it is not possible to remove the door, dismantle and/or disable the door lock mechanism. This will prevent children from being accidentally trapped inside.
