SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or injury to persons when using this appliance,
follow basic safety precautions, including the
following:
• 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 as they 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 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has
not been used for such a period, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow for several
minutes before using the washing machine. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
Do not smoke or use an open flame during this
process.
• Always unplug the washing machine from the
power supply before attempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug,

in the washing machine. These items contain
flammable substances which ever after washing
may smoke or catch fire.
