Important Safety Instructions
l
Read these Laundry Instructions for
important use and safety information (usually 2 weeks or longer), hydrogen
before using your washer.
l
NEVER wash items cleaned, washed,
soaked in or spotted with wax, paint, gasoline, or in flammable fluids in the washer.
The fumes can create a FIRE HAZARD or
EXPLOSION. ALWAYS hand launder and
air dry fabrics containing these materials.
l
NEVER allow children to operate, play with,
or crawl inside the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the
washer is used near children.
l
When discarding an old washer, ALWAYS
remove the lid to prevent accidental
entrapment.
l
NEVER put your hands into the washer
until all motion stops. If the lid is opened
while the basket is spinning, the basket will
automatically stop in a few seconds.
l
DO NOT tamper with controls.
l
NEVER use or store flammable fluids (drycleaning solvents, kerosene) in or near your
washer. Do Not add flammable fluids to the
wash water. These substances give off
vapors that can create a FIRE HAZARD or
EXPLOSION.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
l
If hot water has not been used recently
gases may build up in the water heater and
the hot water pipes. 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. DO NOT smoke or use any open
flame near the faucet while it is open.
