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 gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, and 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.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in
a hot water system that has not been used for two 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 faucets 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.
This appliance is not designed to be used by persons

Do not clean your washer with flammable substances or
liquids.
Your safety and others' safety are very important.
