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.

EXPLOSIVE, If the hot water system

on all hot water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumu-
lated hydrogen gas, As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.

washer is used near children.
