IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

includingthe following:

• Read all instructions before using the washen

• 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.

• 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 hotwater system that has not been used

for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hotwater system has not been used for such a

period, before usingthe washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for sever-

al minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas isflammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
