SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Read all safety information before using
Many washers are located near a gas dryer or a water heater in the home.
!WARNING!
Risk of Fire Hazard
 For your safety the information in this manual must be followed to
minimize the risk of fire or explosion or to prevent property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.
 Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
 Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,

What to do if you smell gas
 DO NOT try to light any appliance.
 DO NOT touch an electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.

Water heater safety
Under certain conditions Hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not
been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of
damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for
several minutes before using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot
water system. This will allow any hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
