dangers as fire, electrical shock, burns,
and personal injury.
▲WARNING

washer.
• Do not machine wash or machine dry
items cleaned, washed, soaked in, or
spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, oil, or

hand wash and line dry items containing
these materials.
• Flammable fluids (dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, gasoline, etc.) should not be
used or stored in or near your washer. Do

that can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not allow children to operate, play
with, or crawl on or inside your washer.
Supervise children closely when your

HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
To prevent injury or damage, before
using your washer, turn on all hot water
faucets and allow water to run for several
minutes. This will allow gases to escape.
