/k IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, serious injury or death when
using your washing machine, follow
basic precautions, including the
following:
1. BOSCH washers are provided with
an Operating, Care and Installation
Instructions Manual. Read and
understand all instructions before
using the washing machine.
2. Do not wash articles that have
been previously cleaned, washed,
soaked, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, other
flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors
that could ignite or explode.
3. 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.
4. Under certain conditions hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot
water system that has not been
used for 2 weeks or more.
,
,
7.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water system has not
been used for this length of time,
turn on all hot water faucets and
let the water flow out of each
faucet for several minutes before
using the washing machine. This
will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame while carrying out
this procedure.
Before the appliance is removed
from service or discarded, remove
the door and the power cord/plug.
Do not reach into the appliance if
the wash drum is moving.
Do not install or store this
appliance where it will be exposed
to the weather.
8. Do not tamper with the controls.
9. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance or attempt any
service unless specifically
recommended in the user
maintenance instructions or in
published user repair instructions
that you understand and have the
skills to carry out.
10. Always unplug the washing
machine from the power supply
before attempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
11. To reduce the risk of fire, clothes,
cleaning rags, mop heads and the
like which have been soiled with
any flammable substance, such as
vegetable oil, cooking oil,
petroleum based oils or distillates,
waxes, fats, etc., must be kept
away from any source of ignition,
including a clothes dryer. These
items may contain flammable
substances which, even after
washing, may smoke or catch fire.
12. Do not machine wash fiberglass
materials (such as curtains and
window coverings that use
fiberglass materials). Small
particles may remain in the
washing machine and stick to
fabrics in subsequent wash loads
causing skin irritation.
13. When children become old
enough to operate the appliance, it
is the legal responsibility of the
parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified
persons.
