WARNING
¾ To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons while using your
appliance follow basic safety 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, or other flammable or explosive substances (acetone, alcohol,
kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax
removers) 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.

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 this time.

when the appliance is used near children.
