IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

including the following:

■

Read all instructions before using the washer.

■

Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with petrol, dry­cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapours that could ignite or
explode.

■

Do not add petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapours 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 washing
machine, turn on all hot water taps 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 washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer
is used near children.
