2 Important Safety Instructions

B
WARNING
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used
near children.
• Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove
the door and the power cord / main plug to prevent accidents.
• Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving. Wait until the
drum has completely stopped before opening the door.
• Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather and direct sunlight.
• Do not tamper with controls.
