IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
?
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,
or
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
the
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.
?
Do
not
allow children
to play
on or
in the washer.
Close
supervision
of children is necessary when
the washer is used
near
children.
?
Before the washer is removed from service
or
discarded,
remove
the door
to prevent
children
from
hiding
inside.
?
Do not install
or
store the washer where it will be
exposed to
the weather.
?
Do
not
tamper
with controls.
?
Do not
repair
or
replace
any
part
of the washer
or
attempt
any
servicing
unless
specifically
recommended in the user-maintenance
instructions
or
published user-repair
instructions
that you understand and have the skills to
carry
out.
?
See Installation Instructions for grounding
requirements.
?
ALWAYS follow the fabric
care
instructions
supplied by
the
garment
manufacturer.
?
Do
not place
items
exposed to cooking
oil in your
washer. Items contaminated with
cooking
oils may
contribute
to
a
chemical reaction that could
cause
a
load
to
catch fire.
?
Do
not
use
fabric softeners
or
products to
eliminate static unless recommended
by
the
manufacturer of the fabric softener
or
product.
