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

■ The washing drum
• If you live in a hard water area, lime scale can continuously build up in places where it cannot be seen
and it is not easily removed from the drum.
Over time the build-up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check, these will eventually
have to be r^laced.
• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused by small metal articles
(paper clips, safety pins, etc.) which have been left in the drum.
• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes, or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for washing machine use.
• Descaler could contain components that can damage part of your washing machine.
