1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. As with any equipment using electricity and having moving parts, there are potential
hazards. To use this appliance safely, the operator should become familiar with the
instructions for operation of the appliance and always exercise care when using it.
3. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
4. Install and level the clothes washer on a floor that can support the weight.
5. This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance cord into a
receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accordance with local and
national codes. See installation instructions for grounding this appliance.
6. To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
• Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or
explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Hand wash and line dry any items containing these substances.
Any material on which you have used a cleaning solvent,or which is saturated
with flammable liquids or solids, should not be placed in the clothes washer
until all traces of these liquids or solids and their fumes have been removed.
These items include acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, some
liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers.
• Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water
system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period,
before using a washing machine or combination washer-dryer, 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 flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
