Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may

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
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.
