2 Important Safety Instructions

BWARNING

•To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons while using your appliance follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

•Read all instructions before using the washer-dryer.

•Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances (acetone, alcohol, kerosene, some liquid household cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers) 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 a 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.

•Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

•Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and the power cord / main plug to prevent accidents.
