Water Heater Safety
Important Safety Information
Read all safety information before using
Under certain conditions
hydrogen gas may be produced
in a water heater that has not
been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE
EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
If the hot water has not been used
for two weeks or more, prevent
the possibility of damage or injury
by turning on all hot water taps
and allow them to run for several
minutes before using any
electrical appliance which is
connected to the hot water
system. This will allow any
hydrogen gas to escape. Since
the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame
or appliance during this process.

the wash and the basket during the spin.
With the Normal wash speed the agitator moves
faster. Use for cottons, denims and play clothes.
With the
Gentle wash speed the agitator moves
slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
The Fast spin speed is for durable items.
The Slow spin speed is for delicate items like
sweaters and lingerie. Clothes will be less dry
than when using a fast spin speed.
