Important safety precautions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons
when using your appliance, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Do not wash or dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
3. Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is used near children.
4. Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door to the
washing or drying compartment.
5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.
6. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
7. Do not tamper with controls.
8. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user
repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
9. Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive substances
to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
10. 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 a washer or
combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ow from
each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.
