IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING –
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when
using the washer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the
washer.
Do not wash articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in,
soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable,
or explosive substances as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
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, 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.
