safety instructions
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 two weeks or
more, turn on the hot-water faucets and let
water flow for a few minutes before operating
the washing machine. This will cause any
built-up hydrogen gas to dissipate. Since
the gas is flammable, do not smoke or keep
an open flame on while the faucets are
running.
Do not allow children to play over or inside
the machine. Strict supervision is required
when using the machine around children.
The door must be removed before the
machine is disposed of or taken out of
service.
Do not access the inside of the machine
if the drum or the agitator are moving.
