Use this way ONLY

DO not use or

mix liquid chlorine bleach
with other household

chemicals such as toilet

_To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with
the basic warnings listed below.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

Prevent Fire

Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These
substances give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.

Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors

that could ignite the materials.

Do not add gasoline, 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 the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or

damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.

Protect Children
