IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic 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,
■Do not add gasoline,
■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 accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
■Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.
■Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the door or lid.
■Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is moving.

■Do not tamper with controls.
