WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons while using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the follow- ing:

1.Read the instructions before using the appliance.

2.Do not wash materials that have been previously cleaned or soaked in gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive sub- stances. Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flamm- able or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

3.Do not allow children to play on or in the appliance. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children.

4.Before discarding an old appliance unplug the unit and remove the power cord. Also, remove the door to the wash compartment to prevent

if from becoming a hazard.

5.Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is moving.

6.This appliance should never be in- stalled or stored outdoors.

7.Do not tamper with the controls.

8.Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance, or attempt any servic- ing unless specifically recommended in these Operating instructions.

9.Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These subtances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

10.Under certain conditions, hydro- gen 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, be- fore using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any built up hydrogen gas.

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