original equipment factory replacement
parts.

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 explosive, do not smoke or
use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compart-
ment 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 freezing to avoid possible
damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by
freezing is not covered by the warranty.
