In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before filling a dishwasher from a system that has been off for weeks, run the water from a nearby faucet in a well ventilated area until there is no sound or evidence of gas.
