Safety Instructions - GIRBAU HS-6013 Installation Instructions Manual

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. READ all instructions before using the washer and KEEP them in a prominent location for customer use.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for
two 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.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. CLOSE SUPERVISION of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children.
6. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, REMOVE the door.
7. DO NOT TRY TO OPEN THE WASHER'S DOOR if the drum is moving.
8. Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the WEATHER.
9. DO NOT TAMPER with controls.
10. DO NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE any part of the washer or attempt any servicing, unless specifically
recommended in the user instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.
11. DO NOT BY-PASS any safety device. It is NOT ACCEPTED ANY electric or mechanic MODIFICATION
OR MANIPULATION. DO NOT INSTALL foreign components inside the machine.
12. All SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS included in the Instruction Handbooks, should be reprinted and posted in the
laundry room.

hygiene standards and common sense, may result in conditions which CAN PRODUCE bodily injury or
