Washer Safety

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer/dryer, follow basic
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, 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 such a period, before using
the 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 during
this time.
■ This appliance is not designed to be used by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensorial
and/or mental capabilities, or with lack of experience and
knowledge, except for those who have received instruction
or supervision as referred to the use of the appliance by a
person who is responsible of their safety.
■ Do not clean your washer with flammable substances or
liquids.
