Pour votre sécurité, veuillez suivre à la lettre les
directives données dans le présent manuel afin
de réduire les risques d’incendie, d’explosion ou
de chocs électriques, et prévenir les dommages
matériels et les blessures graves ou mortelles.

• Ne modifiez pas le fonctionnement des
commandes.

• Ne montez pas ou ne vous assoyez pas sur la
porte ou les paniers du lave-vaisselle, et ne les
utilisez pas de façon abusive.

• Ne jetez pas un lave-vaisselle sans en avoir
d’abord enlevé la porte ou enlevez le verrou
de la porte.

• N’entreposez pas et n’utilisez pas d’essence,
de vapeurs ou de liquides inflammables à
proximité de cet appareil ou de tout autre
électroménager.

• Ne laissez pas les enfants jouer avec le lave­vaisselle ni monter dessus. Ne les laissez pas
s’introduire à l’intérieur de cet appareil ou

WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be
produced in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two
weeks or more, prevent the possibility of
damage or injury by turning on all hot water
faucets and allowing them to run for several
minutes. Do this before using any electrical
appliance which is connected to the hot water
system. This simple procedure will allow any
built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas
is flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame or appliance during this process.

SÉCURITÉ DU CHAUFFE-EAU

Dans certaines conditions, il peut se former de
l’hydrogène à l’intérieur d’un chauffe-eau qui
n’a pas servi pendant deux semaines ou plus.
L’HYDROGÈNE EST UN GAZ EXPLOSIF.

Pour réduire les risques de dommages ou de
blessures lorsque l’eau chaude n’a pas été
utilisée depuis deux semaines ou plus, ouvrez
tous les robinets d’eau chaude et laissez l’eau
couler pendant plusieurs minutes avant
d’utiliser un appareil électrique raccordé au
système d’eau chaude. Vous éliminerez ainsi
l’hydrogène qui pourrait s’y être accumulé.
Puisqu’il s’agit d’un gaz inflammable, ne fumez
pas ou n’utilisez pas une flamme nue au cours
de ce processus.
