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. If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using the appliance turn on all hot water tap and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a appliance and keep them out of the reach of children.
Do not wash and dry articles that have been soaked in explosive substances such as gasoline, solvents, solvent-based detergent.
When loading items to be washed:
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not touch any heating element (where it is exposed) during or immediately after use.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
After cleaning the dishes, turn off the tap. Turn on the tap again and check the connection status of water supply hose before cleaning.
Do not open the door while the appliance is in operation. Water will splash out and could cause a slipping hazard.

Small parts, such as rack clips and filter retaining posts can be a choke hazard to small children if removed from the dishwasher. Keep out of reach of small children.
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.
The door should not be left in the open position since this could present a tripping hazard.
