machine.
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.
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 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 to prevent children from
playing or hiding inside. Also remove the power cord/
plug.
