@Do not wash or dry articles that
have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustible or explosive
substances such as gasoline,
degreasers, drycleaning solvents,
etc. that may give off vapors that
could ignite or explode.
Do not add these substances to
the wash water.

the chemical action within your
water heater and the gas can
accumulate in the water heater

been used for some time, turn on
all hot water faucets and allow
them to run for several minutes
before using any electrical appii-
ance which is connected to the

mable, do not smoke or use an
