IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING -
To reduce the risk of fire, electric chock, or injury to persons when using your appliance:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. This machine must be securely bolted to the floor according to the installation instructions.
3. This machine MUST be serviced and operated in compliance with manufacturers instructions.
CHECK DOOR LOCKS EVERY DAY FOR PROPER OPERATION TO PREVENT INJURY OR
DAMAGE. IF THE DOOR LOCK FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY, PLACE THE MACHINE
OUT OF ORDER UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED.
4. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with gasoline, drycleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances, as they give
off vapors that could ignite or explode.
5. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to
the wash water. These substances give off vapours that could ignite or explode.

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

when the appliance is used near children.
