IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury tp

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 gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or

explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning

solvents, or other flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

not been used for such a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and

let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
