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 explosive, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment
when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not
allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against
