To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons when using this appliance, follow basic
precautions, including the following.
• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents, or 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

•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 washer, turn ON
all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each

hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke
or use an open flame during this time.

supervision of children is necessary when the washer is
used near children.
