WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using
your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:!

•  Read all instructions before using this appliance.!

•  Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in,

soaked in or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable or explosive substances, as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.!

waxes, fats, or similar substances) in the washing machine. These items may
smoke or catch fire even after washing.!

•  Never place items in the washer that have been dampened with gasoline or any
combustible or explosive substance. Do not wash or dry anything that has been
soaked in or spotted with any type of oil (including cooking oils). Doing so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.!
