BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

wWARNING:
this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this owner's Manual.
• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
• 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

• 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 washer, 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 lid to prevent children from climbing inside.

to the weather or freezing temperatures.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free
of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline,
chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.
