home.
• Do not wash or dry articles that have been
previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked

solvents, cooking oils, or other flammable or
explosive substances because they give off

• 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 or
combination washer-dryer, turn on all 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.
WARNING!
This appliance must be properly grounded.
This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.
