IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this washer, comply with the basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow these Important Safety Instructions:

PREVENT FIRE

•Do not wash items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning sol- vents, kerosene, cooking oils, waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near the washer. These substances give off vapors or chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.

•Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top of the washer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite the materials.

•Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other flam- mable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

•Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro- duced 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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable; do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

•Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the washer.

PROTECT CHILDREN

•Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.

•Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing ma- terials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.

•Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To pre- vent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.

•Before the washer is removed from service or dis- carded, remove the washer door to prevent accidental entrapment.

•Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
