Maytag MAH7500 Washer User Manual


 
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, property
damage or injury to persons when using your appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
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.
Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather.
Install and level the clothes washer on a floor that can support the
weight.
This appliance must be properly grounded. Never plug the appliance
cord into a receptacle which is not grounded adequately and in accor-
dance with local and national codes. See installation instructions for
grounding this appliance.
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, other flam-
mable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode. Hand wash and line dry any items containing these sub-
stances.
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 com-
bination 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.
