IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

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

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

■

Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid.

■

Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.

■

Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

■

Do not tamper with controls.

■

Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

■

See Installation Instructions for earthing requirements.

■

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
