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.
