washing machine, observe the following basic precautions:
• Read all the instructions before using the washing machine.
• Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in with
petrol, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances as these
substances give off vapours that might ignite or explode.
